Week starting 5th January

Aries

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of January in your career sector, it is a given that moving into the first full week of 2026, the solar spotlight is going to be on your career and professional situation, matters and options. The difference this year is just how many other planets are here, their interaction with each other and with forces on the income and job fronts. While you began the year with the Sun, Venus, Mars and even the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your career sector, it wasn't until the New Year that Mercury returned with a chance to get your head in the game and think on your feet. Not only has it been decades since all these planets were here at the same time and in time to get the new professional year off to an empowered start, but in the heart of the week, a rare triple alignment between the Sun, Venus and Mars will form, firing up your confidence, motivation and competitive spirit.

Taurus

For the second time in as many years you have moved into the New Year with Pluto, the planet of change and transformation in your career sector and not leaving until 2044, this will be your reality for the next two decades. The difference this year is that that unlike last year, when Pluto had only been here for six weeks, he has been here for a complete year and with a lot of history under your belt. While the Sun, Venus and Mercury all either began 2025 in your career sector or returned here in January, by the end of February they were gone and apart from the Moon's monthly visits, Pluto has been on his own ever since. That will change when Venus returns later next week, followed a few days later by the Sun, Mercury and Mars, making his first visit in two years.

Meanwhile, it is this week that from Friday to Sunday, the Moon will make its first visit to your work sector for the year, something that can sharpen your instincts and act as a trigger.

Gemini

As you move into the new first full week of 2026, a sense will be starting to creep in that you might no longer be playing a long game and that this is the year when you not only need to get serious about turning your professional dreams into reality, but there is no time to muck around. On the one hand, there is nothing unusual about moving into the New Year with Neptune in your career sector, for this has been your reality since the planet of hopes and dreams returned in 2012. At the same time, since his return in March 2023, along with Saturn's resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. These are planets that have been playing a long game, until now.

By the time you move into the new week, Neptune is just three weeks away from leaving, not to return again in our lifetime and Saturn leaving a few weeks later. All of a sudden, the clock is ticking, with the Moon's return to your work sector on Sunday, the point when resources across the income, work and career fronts will come together to make things happen.

Cancer

Just a few days into the year and this new professional year will be starting to look and feel different from 2025 and the shift in the dynamics has only just begun. As you move into the new week, this has only been underway for three days, with more and even bigger changes ahead. It began when barely into the New Year, Mercury not only left your busy work sector last Friday, but ended all planetary activity here until later in the year. This brought what had been a busy final three months of 2025 to an end, just as the planets in your career sector had come to a standstill.

This was ahead of Chiron's direct turn here over the weekend, while in retrograde motion for another week the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos has the brakes on as she keeps the doors open to the past for a few more days. By next Monday, all three planets in your career sector will be in direct motion but barely moving, allowing you to hold back until two weeks later Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returns to spend the next 13 years in your career sector and Saturn, a few weeks later with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.

Leo

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of January in your work sector, the solar spotlight is always on your work situation, job matters and options at this time of year, though rarely with so much backup. For the first time in decades, you not only have Venus and Mars here at the same time, but all three will come together as a rare triple alignment. When a planet aligns with the Sun, we can no longer see them, for they are consumed by the light of the Sun. Yet we don't lose those planets and instead, their essence becomes embedded in the very sunlight itself.

This is amplifying Mars' work passions, fighting and competitive spirit and Venus' ability to give your heart a voice and trigger the laws of attraction. This is being backed up by Mercury's smart and practical influence, while the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is spending her first full week here in four years. The stars are conspiring to get the year off to an empowered start across the income, work and career fronts.

Virgo

During the 20 years that Pluto, the planet of change and transformation will spend in your busy work sector, the Moon will return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and into opposition, something that every four weeks will briefly put how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test. With Pluto here for so long, this couldn't be more important, but with their clash on Monday especially timely. Partly because, as you move into the first full week of 2026, this is a reminder from the start to work smarter and to pace yourself. This can create some work tension or job pressure, but the clash is brief and at a time when things aren't particularly busy.

That is about to change, for when Venus returns to your work sector later next week and the Sun, Mars and Mercury over the following days, this will kick off the busiest months of 2026. This makes starting the week with a reminder to work smarter and pace yourself all the more important.

Libra

As you move into the first full week of 2026, the Moon is just leaving your career sector and wrapping up what has been the first Full Moon of 2026. That the Full Moon of the year should fall in your career sector is more often than not the case, but rarely with any planetary activity to keep what his has triggered in motion, apart from the planets in your work sector. For the first time in 12 years, you have moved into the New Year with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion in your career sector and only halfway through what he is working to make your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade. The Full Moon has not only given this a boost, but with Jupiter not leaving until June, he will stay on to keep things in motion.

This was also the Moon's last visit before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams leaves your work sector later in the month, with their friendly aspect a chance to get serious about turning dreams into reality.

Scorpio

As you move into the first full week of 2026, it is not only with the Moon having just returned for its first visit to your career sector for the year, but three days after Mercury left and ended all planetary activity on the income front, as the planets in your work sector are in the process of turning direct. While an ordinary monthly visit and something that every four weeks can sharpen your professional instincts and act as a trigger, a turning point on the income and job fronts. Mercury was just the last of a parade of planets to move through your income sector over the last three months of 2025, all of them forming a friendly aspect to the three planets in your work sector as they moved through. As well as leaving you with a sharp nose for money, after Chiron turned direct in your work sector over the weekend and as the dwarf planet Eris prepares to turn direct next Monday, as the brakes come off on the job front, it is with a lucrative sense of direction.

Sagittarius

For now, the forces on the job and career fronts might be playing back up, but their role in getting the year off to a potentially lucrative start as they support the Sun and planets in your income sector is strengthening their position as well. By the time you move into the new week the Sun, Venus and Mars, who will spend the majority of the week aligned in your income sector, have already formed a friendly aspect to the South Node in your career sector, while drawing closer to another to Uranus before they start getting ready to leave later next week. Mercury, who only returned to your income sector in the New Year, is starting to catch up and by the time he forms a friendly aspect to the South Node, the Moon will be in your career sector. It is during the Moon's first visit to your career sector for the year that from Wednesday to Friday, as well as sharpening your professional instincts, the Moon will bring things into even tighter alignment across the income, work and career fronts.

Capricorn

With no planetary activity in either of your two professional houses, the Moon's monthly visits have become a lot more important. In the scheme of things, this gap in planetary influence is fleeting and a chance to let things from 2025 play out before things power up on the job front in April. For now though, it is the Moon's influence at either end of the week that will help you move into the first full week of 2026 with confidence. While the Moon left your work sector over the weekend, a friendly aspect to Pluto in your income sector as it moved through allows you to move into the first full week of 2026 with an intuitive read on income and job matters from the start.

Meanwhile, it is at the other end of the week that the Moon will return for its first visit to your career sector for the year on Friday, something that until leaving on Sunday will sharpen your professional instincts while giving you a broader sense of professional perspective.

Aquarius

As you move into the first full week of 2026, the Moon is not only just leaving and wrapping up its first visit to your work sector for the year, but the first Full Moon. While it is more often than not that this is where the first Full Moon of any year will fall, at what is usually the least active point in any year on the job front. So much so, that halfway between from when the Sun was here six months ago and before he returns in six months, this is a Full Moon that is charged with injecting at least some temporary energy into work and job matters. However, for the first time in 12 years, you have moved into the New Year with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion and in your work sector and halfway through his 12 month quest for job growth and expansion, whatever the Full Moon has triggered he can keep in motion.

Meanwhile, it is later in the week that the Moon's return for its first visit to your career sector for the year will kick off a pivotal few days across the income, work and career fronts.

Pisces

By the time you move into the first full week of 2026, it has only been three days since Mercury not only left your career sector but ended three months of planetary activity. In that time the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and even the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment moved through, leaving you with everything needed to move into this new professional year with confidence, your head in the game and with a game plan to work towards. In time to capture this, the Moon's return for its first visit to your work sector for the year, something that moving through on Monday and Tuesday will see it form a friendly aspect to the three planets in your income sector, just as the brakes are coming off the income side of the financial fence. With Mercury's essence still in the air, across the income, work and career fronts this will be a chance to regroup and even push the reset button.
