Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 08 January 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
The first lunar cycle of any year is always important, for as the Moon spends a few days in each area of your chart, this will give you an early read on the different influences that are going to shape either the early part or the whole of 2026. After focusing on the playful and creative side of life’s fence over the last few days, the Moon’s first visit to your work sector for the year is giving you a window into not just what is happening here, but across the income, work and career fronts. In the heart of a rare triple alignment between the Sun, Venus and Mars, the Moon can even act as a trigger for things ripe with potential across the income, work and career fronts.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
Helping to put even more focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence today is the Moon, adding fuel to what is already powering up. It is more often than not that the Moon will make its first visit to a playful and creative part of your chart for the year while the Sun is in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, for this is where he spends the first three weeks of each year. However, the Moon’s friendly aspect to the Sun, Venus and Mars comes just as they have aligned there in an adventurous part of your chart and have already linked up with the South Node in a playful and creative part.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
For the last time before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams leaves your career sector, not to return again in our lifetime, as the Moon crosses the lunar nodes this is shining a light on their policing of your work/life balance. With Neptune less than three weeks away from leaving and Saturn, the planet with the power to move mountains if you have to leaving next month, before things get too busy, today’s work/life balance reminders come with perfect timing. Especially as these are the fleeting and familiar reminders that you get every four weeks, so they won’t be telling you anything that you don’t already know.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
What a difference a few days can make. After clashing with the Sun in your relationship sector over the weekend as a Full Moon, the Moon is not only in your communication sector, but at a friendly aspect to not just the Sun but Venus and Mars, the planets of love and passion. This comes at the same time that there is also a friendly aspect between Mercury, the planet of communication in your relationship sector and the South Node in your communication sector, doubling the support between the communication and relationship gods. Whatever the weekend’s Full Moon may have flushed out can now find a voice.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
As the Moon makes its first visit to your income sector for the year, as well as something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, this could be sending some mixed messages. On the one hand, as the Moon crosses the lunar nodes, this is shining a light on their policing of a balance between money coming in and money going out. On the other hand, the Moon’s friendly aspect to the planets in your work sector and to Uranus in your career sector before leaving tomorrow, is giving you a window into and acting as a trigger for things ripe with potential.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
Knowing that the year is going to take a busier turn and that turn is just 10 days away, makes a coming together of planets on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence all the more important. This is something that the Moon is linking into as it makes its first visit to Virgo for the year. This is making it easier to heed any recent reminders when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. At the same time, as the Moon crosses the lunar nodes, this will continue its focus on balance, but this time, on a balance between your own and your relationship needs.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
For the last time before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams leaves your work sector later in the month the Moon is crossing the lunar nodes for the first time this year, shining a light on their policing of how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. With Saturn, the planet with the power to move mountains if you have to in his last full month in your work sector before leaving and then not returning for another 3 decades, the year is getting off to a busy start. This makes this the right reminder at the right time.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
Helping to get the most out of a rare alignment between the Sun, Venus and Mars in your communication sector is that this is not happening in isolation. All three have already formed a friendly aspect to the South Node in your friendship sector which Mercury, the planet of communication is doing today, while drawing closer to a friendly aspect to Uranus in your relationship sector. With the Moon doing the same while keeping you emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, these are some seriously positive days across the communication, social and relationship fronts.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
As the Moon makes its first visit to your career sector for the year, as well as sharpening your professional instincts and making it easier to keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, it is the right reminder at the right time. The Moon is not only here while the Sun, Mars and Venus are aligned in your income sector, but as a friendly aspect has formed between Mercury there and the South Node in your career sector, all of them drawing closer to a friendly aspect to Uranus in your work sector. The Moon is giving you an intuitive read on what is already coming together across the income, work and career fronts.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
Ahead of the Moon’s return for its first visit to your career sector for the year tomorrow and with the call having gone out to hold back, today’s adventurous lunar vibes are more than just the right distraction at the right time. While on the one hand this is making it easier to keep your work hat off, on the other hand, this is adding fuel to what is already a powering up of the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. This is also likely to be personally empowering, for in the heart of your birthday month and after clashing over the weekend as a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are back in harmony.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
As the Moon makes its first visit to your financial sector for the year and crosses the lunar nodes, as it will do with each monthly visit until they leave in July, this is shining a light on their policing of a balance between money coming in and money going out. With the Moon set to clash with Neptune and Saturn in your income sector before leaving tomorrow, this could create some financial tension, but with both sides of the financial fence so well resourced and supported it won’t take much to turn this into motivation.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
As the Moon makes its first monthly visit to your relationship sector for the year, its transit across the lunar nodes today is shining a light on their policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs. While today this is more about being aware, before leaving tomorrow the Moon will clash with Neptune and Saturn in Pisces, potentially pushing some buttons and if anything is out of balance, the potential for some strong emotional responses. Yet this not only comes with the support of Uranus in your communication sector, but of Mercury, the planet of communication, whose friendly aspect to the Moon yesterday has already gotten the ball rolling.
