Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 23 July 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
While the Sun’s return to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart today is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto this side of life’s fence, it will be to find that Jupiter is not only already here, but he is engaged in the good fight. This will shine a light on both the headwind that Jupiter has been up against since the start of the week, both from the demands of the working week and from life itself, but also the resolve that this is starting to foster.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
Having the Moon in your relationship sector as the Sun not only leaves your communication sector today but as Mercury, the planet of communication has reached his last full day in retrograde motion, couldn’t come with better timing. In his last full day in retrograde motion, Mercury has both come to a standstill, giving you a chance to pause while still in retrograde motion and at a friendly aspect to the Moon, with time to give your emotional responses, relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. With the dwarf planet Eris also at a standstill as she turns retrograde today, this is making it easier to stay in the moment.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
In the same way that the Moon’s return to your relationship sector tomorrow will be a chance to make the most of the Sun’s first full day in your communication sector, as he leaves your income sector and takes the solar spotlight off the income side of the financial fence, having it in your work sector is also an advantage. Until they meet up tomorrow to focus more on communication and your relationships, with Mercury at a standstill ahead of his direct turn in your income sector tomorrow and the Moon making its last visit to your work sector before the North Node leaves your career sector, this is a chance to pause and regroup.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
While the Sun’s departure from Cancer today will bring your birthday month to a close, you haven’t even begun to explore all your options. With Mars returning next month to explore even more options, before turning direct tomorrow, Mercury has come to a standstill, giving you a chance to pause and regroup. Meanwhile, as he does at this time each year, this will see the Sun return to your income sector to put the solar spotlight on your income situation, matters and options, this time to reveal that Jupiter is not only already here but both sides of the financial fence are powering up.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
As the Sun returns to Leo to begin your birthday month and new solar year, it is to find that not only has Venus already moved through, but Jupiter is here and a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion is already underway. While Venus has left, she has given your heart a voice and a say in what you want from this new solar year before it even began, while Jupiter has already begun the process of opening new doors and will spend the next 12 months pushing you out of your comfort zone. Ready or not, the future is here and it has already made it clear that old excuses won’t be accepted.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
As the Sun returns to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, this brings you to the start of the month long wind down of your old solar year. This is an important point in any year, with a chance to reflect on and process the journey that this current solar year has taken you on while at the same time, preparing for the start of your birthday month and new solar year in a month from today. This year, with Mercury staying on in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, Jupiter having already begun the wind down of your current 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion and Venus already in Virgo, the lines between the past, present and future are blurred.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
While one is looking to the future and another will be looking to the past, the Sun’s return to your friendship sector a few hours before the dwarf planet Eris turns retrograde in your relationship sector today will see them both contribute to what is already a powerful week for friendship and relationship building. A friendly aspect between Jupiter in your friendship sector and Neptune, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector that peaked three days ago is just now starting to separate, with the Sun and Eris both adding their energy into the mix.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
For the Sun, his departure from your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and return to your career sector today is a significant shift in focus, but one that he makes at this time each year. Yet while the solar spotlight is shifting from one side of life’s fence to the other, this doesn’t mean that everything will shift. While the Sun will add to a powering up on the job and career fronts, Mercury is not only staying on in an adventurous part of your chart but for another four days the North Node is still in a playful and creative part. While you can, this is a chance to put some work/life balance guardrails in place.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
Within the space of just a few hours, two events are going to empower the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence at a time when it is already powering up. Three days after a friendly aspect between Jupiter in an adventurous part of your chart and Neptune, in retrograde motion in a playful and creative part is just now starting to separate, when the Sun and the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos add to the mix. A combination of the Sun’s return to an adventurous part of your chart and Eris retrograde turn in a playful and creative part adds to what is already there.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
As the Sun leaves your relationship sector today, bringing you to the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift off your relationships Mercury, the planet of communication is not only staying on, but in his last full day in retrograde motion, he has come to a standstill. With the North Node just four days away from leaving your communication sector and the Moon forming a friendly aspect to Mercury today, this is a chance to pause, regroup and make time to make communication a priority. Meanwhile, this is the point in each year when the Sun will always shift the solar spotlight onto your financial situation and money matters.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
While the Moon is making its ordinary monthly visit to your career sector, it is in the right place at the right time. This is helping to ensure your professional instincts are sharp as the Sun leaves your work sector, during Mercury’s last full day in retrograde motion there and just as the North Node is getting ready to leave your income sector. Separating from a friendly aspect to the North Node yesterday, the Moon’s friendly aspect to Mercury today comes just as he has come to a standstill. This is a chance to pause, regroup and pay attention to the insight this is giving you access to from across the income, work and career fronts.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
While the Sun’s departure from a playful and creative part of your chart and return to your busy work sector today is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will shift from one side of life’s fence to the other, this doesn’t mean life needs to become all work and no play. While the Sun will return to find that Jupiter is already powering things up, you not only have the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart and Mercury staying on in a playful and creative part, but there are reinforcements on the way. It is all about having the right balance.
