Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday 26 August 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
In the last three days, the Sun and Mercury haven’t just returned to your work sector, but have both formed a friendly aspect to Chiron in your income sector and the Moon has moved through your career sector. The Moon left yesterday, but as Mercury settles into his first full day of what will be a short 17 day chance to work smarter, get your head in the game, think on your feet and the communication lines open, with a chance to hit the ground running. At the same time, today’s stars are starting to brew up something special on the communication, social and relationship fronts.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
It is less that today’s stars are sending mixed messages and more that both sides of life’s fence are well aspected and are showing their true colours. On the one hand, even though the Moon left your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery yesterday, along with the Sun and Mercury, it has been responsible for jumpstarting the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence in a way that is here to stay or at least for the next four weeks. In the meantime, the Moon has moved on and in the heart of the working week, is in the middle of a firing up on the income, work and career fronts.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
Heart of the working week, not only having the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart for but the first time since Venus’ return to a playful and creative part, couldn’t have come with better timing. Not only with no planets in either of your two professional houses can you get away with or at least find it easier to take your work hat off when you can, ahead of an eclipsing Full Moon in your career sector, the professional gods are actively calling on you to hold back. This is a chance to put the 18 months that the lunar nodes have just spent policing your work/life balance into practice.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
While the Moon left your relationship sector just before Mercury, the planet of communication returned to your communication sector yesterday, from the start, this is something that he and your relationships are benefiting from. The Moon may have moved on, but two weeks after she retrograded back into your relationship sector the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is not only still here but has benefited from having the Sun in your communication sector since the weekend. Adding to this is Mercury’s friendly aspect to Chiron, the planet of healing, that peaks today.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
Thanks to the Moon, both sides of life’s fence are powered up and energised. While the Moon can’t be in two places at the same time, as Mercury settles into his first full day in your income sector, he is benefiting from not only having had the Moon move through your work sector over the last few days, but from how it managed to engage and energise things across the income, work and career fronts. At the same time, the Moon’s first visit to your relationship sector since Venus’ return to your communication sector is creating positive conditions across the communication, social and relationship fronts.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
At the same time that the Moon’s first visit to your work sector since Venus returns to your income sector and is pulling things together on the income, work and career fronts at what is a pivotal point in the year for all three, Mercury is settling into his first full day in Virgo. Mercury is not only a smart, practical and intellectually savvy planet, but as your ruling planet, you know how to use this to your advantage. Combined with the Moon’s more intuitive edge, this is giving you a mix of intuition and logic, imagination and intelligence that is keeping you on top of your game.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
Three days after the Sun returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year, Mercury is settling into his first full day here. Unlike the Sun, Mercury is only here for 17 days, with a chance to take a smart and practical approach to closing old doors and processing the journey that this current solar year has taken you on. Unlike the nostalgic trip down memory lane that Venus took your heart on when she moved through, the Sun and Mercury are taking a more objective review.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
With the year continuing to take a busy turn and with no sign of that changing or letting up anytime soon, the lunar nodes’ new policing of your work/life balance has become a lot more important. A day after Mercury crossed the lunar nodes, the Moon is approaching them from the other side of life’s fence and in a more intuitive rather than the smart and practical approach of the last few days. The net result is the same, which is a growing focus on your work/life balance, but with both sides of life’s fence powering up, just how valuable and important that is.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
Two weeks after the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment not only retrograded back out of your communication sector but just as Mars and the dwarf planet Ceres were leaving your relationship sector, the Moon is helping to recreate their influence. The Moon has not only returned for its first visit to your communication sector since then, but has come full circle from last month’s Full Moon to find that there are still planets on the communication and relationship fronts that are actively working together and will continue to. What planets before them were able to kickstart has plenty of ongoing support, which the Moon is tapping into today.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
It is in the heart of the working week that both sides of life’s fence have powered up and are demanding your attention at the same time. Yet rather than a problem, this is more a chance to draw on the lessons learnt from a clash between Venus and Saturn last week and the reminder it brought when it came to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off. This is key to embracing some stunning days on the income, work and career fronts, just as the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence is also powering up. On both fronts, that is especially so today.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
Because Mercury, the planet of communication left your relationship sector yesterday, just after the Moon’s return to Aquarius, he got out before they had a chance to clash, but he had spent his final hours crossing the lunar nodes. This is a chance to move into some important days on both the personal and relationship fronts aware of a balance between your own and your relationship needs, but also with the communication lines open. At the same time, the Moon is also creating a lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence that also makes knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off important.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
That Mercury is spending his first full day in your relationship sector at a friendly aspect to Chiron in your communication sector was always going to be significant, with the planets of communication and healing getting together to give words the power to heal. However, it is the timing that is significant, with Mercury and Chiron having a few days together before the Moon returns to Pisces as an eclipsing Full Moon that will see your own and your relationship needs clash. While empowering for both and key to understanding what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, going into this with the communication lines open is an advantage.
