Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 09 April 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
As you reach the last full day of your current two year Mars cycle, there is likely to be a mix of impatience, frustration and anticipation. As the warrior planet of the cosmos and a planet that thrives on action, after nearly six weeks in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, Mars will be tearing his hair out, ready for his return to Aries tomorrow. As your ruling planet, this is where Mars will be most at home, with a chance to not only kick off a new two year Mars cycle but for his passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit to start flowing again. Until then, you might have to cool your heels for one more day.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
Heart of the working week or not, the Moon’s return to an adventurous part of your chart and friendly aspect to the South Node in a playful and creative part of your chart couldn’t come with a better timing. Both Venus and the dwarf planet Ceres are still separating from a friendly aspect to the South Node earlier in the week, so there is already a lean towards that side of the financial fence. With the professional gods calling for a wait and see approach ahead of the Moon’s return to your career sector in two days, today’s lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence is good news personally and professionally.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
As he reaches his last full day in your career sector for another two years, Mars will be working to pack as much into today as possible, while fuelling the kind of professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit that you can continue to hold onto. With Mercury not leaving for another six days, this makes today more about embracing Mars warrior and competitive spirit, knowing that it is after he leaves that there will be time to focus on when, where and how to channel this moving forward. Meanwhile, as the Moon returns to your financial sector, this kicks off an insightful few days on both sides of the financial fence.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
Knowing that when he not only returns to your career sector tomorrow but joins the Sun and the four planets already there, that this will kick off what could be the busiest and most consequential six weeks of this professional year, Mars will be going all out to get you to embrace his final hours in an adventurous part of your chart. While Mercury will stay on for another six days, when he leaves next week, this will not only end all planetary activity in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery for the year, but this will leave the whole playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence empty. This is something worth fighting for.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
While Moon will not only leave a playful and creative part of your chart and return to your work sector today but help to kick off a pivotal few days across the income, work and career fronts, that doesn’t mean life has to all of a sudden become all work and no play. Helping to ensure that doesn’t happen was the Moon’s friendly aspect to the Sun and the four planets already in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, ahead of Mars’ return tomorrow. This has helped to shore up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
As Mars reaches his last full day in your relationship sector, you might be feeling combative, but it is just the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos working to leave you with something you can continue to fight or aim for. Mars is more about the motivation than the when, where and how while not leaving for another six days Mercury, the planet of communication is staying on to ensure the communication lines are open. With Mercury’s departure next week ending all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year, sitting this out is not an option.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
While there are no planets in your communication sector and Mercury, the planet of communication is still six days away from your relationship sector, with everything needed to keep the communication lines open since then. Meanwhile, knowing that when he leaves your work sector tomorrow it will be another two years before he returns, Mars will be working to keep you busy, but also to fire up your warrior and competitive spirit in a way that will leave you with something to keep fighting for. With Mercury staying on for another six days, nothing is as urgent as it might appear to be today.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
Knowing that when he returns to your work sector tomorrow that whether on the job front or with whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time, it will be to kick off what could be the busiest six weeks of the year, Mars is fighting to make the most of his last full day in a playful and creative part of your chart. If anyone knows how to fight, it is the warrior planet of the cosmos, with a chance to use this to put the kind of guardrails in place that can guard against life becoming all work and no play. Fortunately, Jupiter is staying on in an adventurous part of your chart.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
What makes the Moon’s return to your income sector today and the immediate impact this will have across the income, work and career fronts is not just that it is happening in the heart of the working week. While an ordinary monthly visit and something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money and act as a trigger, this first visit since the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment left, could see it act as a trigger for things that are already locked, loaded and ripe with potential. As the Moon’s only visit while Venus, the planet of money is in your work sector, this is the trigger she’s been waiting for.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
As the Moon returns for its monthly visit to Capricorn and the chance that every four weeks this brings to check in and become more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware, this will have wider implications. On the one hand, 11 days after the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment left this is a chance to revisit the intentions and resolutions that you have just spent the first three months of the year working on. On the other hand, the Moon will not only spend its early hours at a friendly aspect to the South Node and the dwarf planet Ceres, but just as they and Venus are already working together to energise the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
In his last full day in your income sector for another two years, Mars knows that you are going to get the most out of the final hours of his war on income roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, it can’t just be about the money. Knowing that you can’t attract what you don’t believe you deserve, Mars will be encouraging you to believe in yourself and fight for what you deserve. This includes across all the currencies in your life, with a rising tide lifting all boats. Not leaving for another six days, it is Mercury and his smart head for money that can focus more on the money.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
As Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos reaches his last full day in Pisces for another two years, it is about embracing his passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit as you embark on the journey this new Mars cycle will continue to take you on. With Mercury staying for another six days there will be enough time after Mars leaves to use this smart and practical influence to focus on the when, where and how and to turn this into more of a game plan. Until then, Mars is all about filling your tanks and leaving you with something you are willing to fight for.
