Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday 21 January 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
Another day and another planet is on the move and in a case of deja vu, it is once again a planet leaving your career sector in order to return to your friendship sector. This time it is Mercury leaving you with everything needed to keep your head in the game professionally, just as Mars will be fighting to pack as much into his final days as he can. This will see Mercury join the Sun, Moon and Venus, who are already focused on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking, to do what as the planet of communication he does best.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
It is just as the Sun is settling into his first full day in your career sector as the Moon is getting ready to leave and wrap up its first visit for the year, that Mercury returns with everything needed to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open. With the Moon returning in four weeks as a New Moon, this leaves you with your professional instincts sharp and the promise that it will return to harvest the seeds that since her return over the weekend, Venus has been sowing. Meanwhile, this will make Mars even more determined to pack as much into his final days in an adventurous part of your chart.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
With the Sun in his first full day in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, Venus having returned over the weekend, Mercury returning today and Mars in two days, as the Moon leaves today and returns to your career sector, there is no danger of the spirit of adventure going off the boil. However, as the Moon returns with a chance to get the most out of Neptune and Saturn’s final days together here in our lifetime, this does put a lot more importance on the lunar nodes' policing of your work/life balance.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
While Mercury has only been in your relationship sector for 19 days, as these were some of the most pivotal weeks of the year on the relationship front, as the planet of communication leaves today, he was here when he was needed the most. A day after the Sun left, here for the New Moon that ran its course two days ago and when Venus, the planet of love left over the weekend, Mercury can leave knowing that the rest of the planets can take it from here. In the meantime, as he joins the Sun, Moon and Venus in your financial sector, his smart head for money comes with equally good timing.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
Another day and the Moon and yet another planet are on the move. For Mercury, as he leaves your work sector and returns to your relationship sector, he is taking the same steps that the Sun, Moon and Venus have made over the last few days, while returning during the Sun’s first full day to do what as the planet of communication he does best. It is the Moon that having helped with the transition over the last few days, branches out with its timely return to your financial sector. This first visit for the year is also the last before Neptune leaves next week, with a chance to capture the planet of hopes and dreams' influence.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
Another day and yet another planet is leaving a playful and creative part of your chart in order to return to your busy work sector. Counting the Sun and Moon, the count is four that have shifted their focus and taken their weight off one side of life’s fence and put it on a very different side. Yet despite that, this won’t see the scales shift too far to the busy side of life’s fence. Even in the heart of the working week you will find it easy to maintain a balance between work and play, but that will become harder when in two days Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos takes that same step.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
While for the Moon, wrapping up its first visit to a playful and creative part of your chart for the year and returning for its first visit to your work sector is a significant shift, this won’t shift the balance of power in the solar system itself. In the Sun’s first full day in a playful and creative part of your chart, Venus having returned over the weekend, Mercury returning today and Mars in two days, there is no danger of life becoming all work and no play. However, there is a need for balance, with the Moon returning with the intuitive edge that can guide you through some pivotal days on the busy, industrious and work focused side of life’s fence.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
Heart of the working week or not, both personally and professionally, you will benefit from the Moon’s return to a playful and creative part of your chart today. As well as returning just as after years of working together Saturn and Jupiter are getting ready to leave, this will put the Moon back in harmony with Jupiter in an adventurous part of your chart. It is that very powering up of the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence that will prove the right distraction at the right time, as ahead of major developments on the job front the professional gods are calling for a wait and see approach.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
It is during the Moon’s final hours in your communication sector and just as the Sun is settling into his first full day here that Mercury, the planet of communication returns. This will see Mercury move straight into an alignment with the Sun, just as another between Venus, who returned over the weekend and Pluto here has peaked. This is giving Venus’ mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice an early boost, while as Mercury returns to get the communication lines open across the board, the Moon leaves you better able to give your emotional responses a voice.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
A day after the Sun left Capricorn, bringing your birthday month to a close, two days after the Moon left and wrapped up the first New Moon of 2025 and three days after Venus left, Mercury leaves. This will leave you with everything needed to keep your head in the game and the communication lines open, while until leaving in two days, Mars will continue to fuel your warrior and competitive spirit. Meanwhile, this will see Mercury join the Sun and Venus in your income sector, lending his smart head for money to the launch of the most lucrative months of 2026.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
It is during the Sun’s first full day in Aquarius that the Moon leaves today, with the timing both a short and a long term advantage. In the short term, this is giving you a chance to move into your birthday month and new solar year emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware from the start and with Venus having returned over the weekend, with heart and gut on the same page. Mercury’s return today is also a chance to get your head in the game. Long term, having the Moon here when the Sun returned means it will have time to come full circle before your birthday month ends, this time as a New Moon.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
The Moon’s first visit to Pisces for the year has always been an important chance to check in, get your personal bearings and become more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. Since 2012, it has been a given that the Moon would return to find Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams here, while since his return in March 2023, to find Saturn backing him up with the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. However, this first visit for the year is also the last before Neptune leaves in six days, not to return again in our lifetime.
