Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 26 February 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
Two days after spending its early hours in your communication sector at a friendly aspect to Pluto in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, the Moon is spending its final hours at a friendly aspect to Mars there. Where Pluto is here for the long haul, with Mars leaving in five days and the Moon here to get the communication lines open now, this not only makes this an important day for connecting, but for being proactive and making the first move. Whether stepping in to help someone out or taking the lead in a group or team situation, this is not a day for standing back.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
Whether by coincidence or cosmic design, it is just after the Moon returns for its last visit to your communication sector while Jupiter is in retrograde motion here that Mercury, the planet of communication turns retrograde. With Mercury spending the next three and a half weeks in retrograde motion and Jupiter turning direct in 13 days, the two planets in the solar system that are most focused on communication are coming together in a joint effort to give the past and unsaid words a voice. Having already formed a friendly aspect last week, Mercury and Jupiter will come together twice more over the next six weeks, creating some serious communication support.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
At a time when there is a lot of focus on the future and on moving things forward, two events within the space of less than two hours are opening the doors to the past when it comes to untapped professional and income potential. It begins with the Moon’s return for its last visit to your income sector while Jupiter is in retrograde motion and with the planet of luck and expansion already at a standstill as he gets ready to take the brakes off. In solidarity and still separating from their friendly aspect last week, Mercury’s retrograde turn in your career sector today is a chance to open old doors professionally.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
As Mercury turns retrograde in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery today, this is a win/win for both sides of life’s fence. While this will delay Mercury’s return to your career sector until April, this is giving the five planets already there time to create a steady and solid starting point for when Venus returns later next week. At the same time, with Neptune and Saturn gone, there will be no continuous year long planetary activity on the adventurous side of life’s fence and with Mars returning next week and both not leaving until April, Mercury is giving you a chance to hold onto this for as long as possible.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
The first Mercury retrograde phase of 2026 begins today, with positive implications for the rest of this financial year. On the one hand, a Mercury retrograde phase can increase the risk of mixed messages, misunderstandings and mistakes, but only if you rush into things without thinking. Instead, not only in retrograde motion but at a standstill, Mercury’s smart head for money now comes with hindsight and a chance to spend time back at the drawing board. With Mars returning next week, this will give you more control over when, where and how to channel his financial passions and fighting spirit.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
The Moon is on the move today, but whether it is where it starts or ends the day, it will find itself in the right place at the right time. Before leaving your career sector, the Moon is spending its final hours at a friendly aspect to Mars, five days before he is due to leave your work sector. This is going to leave you with your professional instincts sharp and a better sense of where to channel Mars’ drive to make things happen now. Meanwhile, this will see the Moon return for its last visit to your friendship sector while Jupiter is in retrograde motion here, but just before Mercury, the planet of communication turns retrograde in your relationship sector.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
Mercury not only turns retrograde in your work sector today, but he has come to a standstill, allowing the Sun and Venus over the coming days to catch up and overtake and even Mars, who will return next week for the first time in two years, to do the same. This comes just as the Moon not only returns for its last visit to your career sector while Jupiter is in retrograde motion here, but just as he too has the brakes on. This is locking Mercury and Jupiter into an alliance that, for the next few weeks, will hold the doors open to the past, second chances and untapped job and professional potential.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
Two days after spending its early hours in your financial sector at a friendly aspect to Pluto, the Moon is spending its final hours at a friendly aspect to Mars. Same aspect, same chance to fuel your financial confidence and imagination and especially when it comes to financial matters on the home front, but completely different influence. Where Pluto is offering long term support, Mars is encouraging a more proactive, taking the bull by the horns approach to trusting and acting on your financial instincts. This will leave you with a read on a planet that can get things moving and one that will stay on to keep things on track.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
Two days after spending its early hours in your relationship sector at a friendly aspect to Pluto in your communication sector, the Moon is spending its final hours at a friendly aspect to Mars there. Same aspect, same support when it comes to making it easier to give your emotional responses and relationships a voice, but completely different influence. Pluto is focused on slowly working towards getting and keeping the communication lines open, while in the final days of his six week war on communication roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, Mars wants things to happen now.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
Before leaving your work sector, the Moon’s friendly aspect to Mars as he moves into his final five days in your income sector, is going to give both income and job matters a serious boost. When the Moon leaves, this will see it return for its last visit to your relationship sector while Jupiter is in retrograde motion here, just before Mercury, the planet of communication turns retrograde in your communication sector. Already working together, the Moon is here, ensuring you are emotionally engaged and aware as Mercury and Jupiter join up to focus on giving your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
Whether by coincidence or by cosmic design, the Moon’s return to your work sector today will not only put it in the right place at the right time, but with a chance to ensure you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware as the money and professional gods team up. It is just after the Moon returns for its last visit to your work sector while Jupiter is in retrograde motion here, that Mercury will turn retrograde in your income sector today. Already having formed a friendly aspect last week and due to come together twice more over the next six weeks, the Moon is here as Mercury and Jupiter team up to focus on the past and untapped income and job potential.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
A day after Jupiter moved into his final two weeks in retrograde motion in a playful and creative part of your chart and just as slowing to a point that he is coming to a standstill, the Moon returns. Less than two hours later Mercury, already at a standstill, turns retrograde in Pisces today. Having formed a friendly aspect last week and due to connect twice more over the next six weeks, Jupiter and Mercury are already working together and today, less than a week into your birthday month and new solar year, they have teamed up to slow things down.
