Daily Horoscopes for Friday 24 July 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
A day after the Sun left your home and family sector, taking the solar spotlight off things close to home, Mercury turns direct here today. Had it not been for Mercury’s retrograde turn late last month, he would have been long gone but instead is staying on to keep your head in the game and the communication lines open. Meanwhile, it is just as the Sun is settling into his first full day in a playful and creative part of your chart and just in time for the weekend, that the Moon returns for its monthly visit to an adventurous part of your chart. Over the next few days, this is going to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
It is during the Moon’s final hours in your relationship sector that Mercury, the planet of communication turns direct in your communication sector today and the timing couldn’t be better. While the Moon is making its ordinary monthly visit to your relationship sector, something that every four weeks brings a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware, it was here as the Sun left your communication sector three days ago and during Mercury’s final hours in retrograde motion. Having had a chance to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice, there is a chance today to move on.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
While the Moon will leave your work sector today, the timing has made this more than just the chance that you get every four weeks to get a better read on work and job matters. The Moon was here when the Sun left your income sector two days ago, when Mercury turned direct there yesterday and in time to lock into the North Node’s sense of professional direction before it leaves your career sector in three days. In the meantime, the Moon’s return to your relationship sector will be in time for your relationships to get the most out of the Sun’s first full day in your communication sector.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
A day after the Sun left Cancer, bringing your birthday month to an end, Mercury is settling into his first full day back in direct motion. Having just turned direct yesterday, Mercury is still at a standstill, giving you a chance to pause and get your bearings. Your birthday month might be over, but Mercury is not only staying on, keeping your mind open and curious, but with the hindsight gained from weeks in retrograde motion. With Mars returning to begin a new two year Mars cycle in less than three weeks, you haven’t even begun to explore all your options.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
It is just as the Sun is settling into his first full day in Leo and in the first full day of your birthday month and new solar year that the Moon not only returns to a playful and creative part of your chart, but into a friendly aspect. Over the next few days, the Moon will also form a friendly aspect to the three planets in an adventurous part of your chart, just as they are at various stages of turning retrograde. As well as powering up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, this first visit since not only the Sun but since Jupiter returned to Leo at the end of last month is a chance to get excited about the journey ahead.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
A day after the Sun not only left your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking but returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of this current solar year, Mercury is settling into his first full day in direct motion here. With Venus already in Virgo, this adds to what has already seen an overlapping of the past, present and future. As the Sun looks to the past and Venus to the future, Mercury is keeping you anchored in the present while still socially engaged and connected.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
A day after the Sun left your career sector, Mercury not only turns direct here today but during the Moon’s final hours in your income sector and just as the North Node moves into its final three days in your work sector. Over the last few days, a friendly aspect to both the North Node and Mercury is going to leave you with a better sense of where the money is and a sense of direction on the job front, just as Mercury’s direct turn has taken the brakes off this professional year. As the Moon moves on, its return to your communication sector will be an advantage as the Sun settles into his first full day in your friendship sector.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
A day after the Sun not only left your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery but joined Jupiter in your career sector and just as there is already a powering up on both the job and career fronts, Mercury is not only still here but, in order to turn direct today, has come to a standstill. This is going to keep Mercury in an adventurous part of your chart long enough to keep a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure alive until Mars returns next month. With the lunar nodes just three days away from beginning their 20 month policing of your work/life balance, this couldn’t be more important.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
A day after the Sun left your financial sector, taking the solar spotlight off your financial situation and money matters as it does at this time each year, Mercury turns direct here today. Mercury, who returned early last month to begin what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to use his smart head for money to get your head in the game and to think on your feet, should have been long gone. Instead, at a standstill but back in direct motion, Mercury is going to start crossing the same ground for the third time, giving you a thorough read of your financial situation and money matters.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
A day after the Sun left your relationship sector, something that has taken the solar spotlight off your relationships, Mercury turns retrograde here today. Since turning retrograde towards the end of last month, as the planet of communication, Mercury has been focused on giving the past and unsaid words a voice, with his direct turn today a chance to start moving things forward. As if waiting for the Sun to finish his annual relationship review and after last week’s New Moon, this is another chance to draw a new line in the sand.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
The Sun may have left your work sector yesterday, something that at this time each year will take the solar spotlight off your work situation and job matters, but Mercury is not only staying on but today turns direct during the Moon’s final hours in your career sector. Three days before the North Node is due to leave your income sector, with Mercury having had to come to a standstill in order to turn direct, this is a chance to pause and take in all the valuable clues, hunches and insights you are picking up on from across the income, work and career fronts.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
While the Sun not only left a playful and creative part of your chart yesterday but joined Jupiter in your busy work sector, Mercury is not only staying on, but it is during the Moon’s final hours in an adventurous part of your chart that he turns direct. While the Moon will end the day in your career sector and in the Sun’s first full day in your work sector, this is going to energise things across the income, work and career fronts, not before working with Mercury to leave the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence empowered.
