Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 01 January 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
Knowing that when he leaves your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery tomorrow, this will not only end all planetary activity here until the closing weeks of 2026, but will see him join the parade of planets in your career sector already poised to take the new professional year by storm, no wonder Mercury is holding back. Two days after Juno, the queen of commitment left, Mercury’s last full day is a chance to work with this smart and practical planet to turn your bucket list for 2026 into a game plan and resolutions. Especially when it comes to guarding against life becoming all work and no play.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
While the Moon has left Taurus and won’t follow you into 2026, it not only leaves you emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware and with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, but with Uranus staying on to help you to keep exploring and reassessing your options. Over the last few days, the Moon has played its part in amplifying what has already been a strong lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, which over the coming days and weeks is only set to deepen. At the same time, the Moon has returned to your income sector, where it is tapping into a sense of where the money and a sense of professional direction.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
Knowing that when he leaves your relationship sector tomorrow this will end all planetary activity on the relationship front until the closing weeks of 2026, Mercury’s final hours couldn’t be more important. As the planet of communication, Mercury will be working until the end to keep the communication lines open, but three months to the day since the first of a parade of planets returned and having spent the majority of the last two months here, Mercury is working to leave you with a clear sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
While the heat has already gone out of what has been a busy three months on the job front or with whatever it is that keeps you busy and occupies your time, until he leaves your work sector tomorrow Mercury is encouraging you to keep your head in the game. With two of the three planets in your career sector not only in retrograde motion but at a standstill, it is once Mercury leaves that there might finally be a chance to pull back. With Chiron two days away from turning direct, the dwarf planet Eris turning direct nine days later and the major new developments by the end of January, make the most of any chance to take your foot off the brakes.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
At the same time that the Sun and a line up of planets are waiting for his return to your busy work sector tomorrow, a chance to get your head in the game and with the Moon having just left your career sector you are primed and ready to hit the ground running, Mercury is holding out. Until he leaves a playful and creative part of your chart tomorrow, something that will end all planetary activity here until the closing weeks of 2026, along with the planets that will stay on in an adventurous part of your chart, Mercury is working to put guardrails in place.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
While the Moon has not only left an adventurous part of your chart but has returned in time to begin the year in your career sector and at a friendly aspect to Pluto in your work sector, this won’t be enough to shift the focus off the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. Yet as well as getting the year off to a positive start on both sides of life’s fence, the Moon is giving you a window in what is set to become a big year on the job and career fronts, with the planets that are supporting the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence not here forever.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
Just in time for the New Year, the Moon has not only returned to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, but has moved into a friendly aspect to Pluto in a playful and creative part of your chart. This will see 2026 begin with a heavy nod to the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence and while the Moon is only here for a few days, this is a taste of things to come. While this will be Pluto’s second full year of a 20 year transit through a playful and creative part of your chart, when Uranus returns to an adventurous part of your chart in April, he will be here for the next seven years.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
Just as Mercury has not only reached his last full day in your income sector but of all planetary activity on the income side of the financial fence until the final weeks of 2026, the Moon has returned for its monthly visit to your financial sector. Normally this will see them clash or at least create some tension between Mercury’s focus on money coming in and the Moon’s focus on what you do with the money you have. Instead, Mercury will leave before that can happen, while on the income side of the financial fence having his smart head for money to draw on and on the other side, the Moon’s financial instincts.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
Ten days after the Sun left Sagittarius, bringing your birthday month to a close, it is only now, as Mercury reaches his last full day, that you are ready to cement your game plan and resolutions for the coming year. As the planet of communication and smart thinking, Mercury will be using his final hours to get more specific about your plans for the coming year, as well as doing what he can to keep the communication lines open, just as the Moon has returned to your relationship sector. With Mercury leaving before they can clash, this is a window into a balance between your own and your relationship needs.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
Today’s stars could leave you feeling torn, between being excited about looking to the future and to both 2026 and the new solar year that is stretching out in front of you, but wanting time to slow down and not move so fast. In his last full day in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart before returning to join the Sun and the rest of the planets in Capricorn tomorrow, Mercury is wanting to hold onto the old year and if possible, do nothing more than slouch a little in order to recharge your physical and mental batteries.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
The timing of the Moon’s return to a playful and creative part of your chart means that this is not only where it will spend the early days of 2026, but a friendly aspect to Pluto in Aquarius is a chance to start the year with a sense of confidence and optimism and on a lighter note. While the Moon is only passing through and in two days will not only return to your busy work sector but as the first Full Moon of 2026, this is something that can be captured and used to put guardrails in place from the start. You might not need them now, but when Uranus returns in April to spend the next seven years in a playful and creative part of your chart, you will.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
When Mercury leaves your career sector tomorrow, this will end all planetary activity here until the final weeks of 2026, though with your biggest year for job growth and expansion in over a decade underway for six months by then. While Mercury’s final hours will brush the early hours of 2026, this is more his efforts to bring your professional year to a smart and practical close overshooting the end of the old year. Three months to the day after the first planet returned to fire things up, Mercury’s final hours are a chance to move forward with your head in the game and with a professional game plan and resolutions.
