Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 18 September 2025

	Aries	Mar 21 - Apr 19
It is just before Mercury leaves your work sector today that his clash with Saturn in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart peaks and the timing couldn’t be better. Like last week’s eclipsing Full Moon this is putting how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test. However, without the emotional fog of war and with Mercury and Saturn taking a practical and pragmatic approach to getting the balance right. With Venus just two days away from ending all planetary activity on the fun, playful, romantic and creative front for the year, this couldn’t be more important.

	Taurus	Apr 20 - May 20
Mercury is on the move today, as just 15 days after returning to a playful and creative part of your chart he not only leaves but to join Mars, who is now just four days away from leaving your busy work sector. Fortunately, the Sun is staying on and with Venus just two days away, life is unlikely to become all work and no play, though Mars will be trying to. Mercury’s return might dampen some of Mars’ impulsiveness and urgency, but this smart and practical planet will also give you better control over when, where and how to channel his warrior and competitive spirit.

	Gemini	May 21 - Jun 21
At a time when there is already some serious momentum building across the income, work and career fronts and just four days away from Mars returning to kick off some of the busiest months of the year, Mercury returns to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart. Mercury will only be here for a few weeks but returning before Mars leaves and ahead of the Sun’s return next week, this is a chance to take a smart approach to putting guardrails in place when it comes to a balance between work and play. If you think life is already busy, you haven’t seen anything yet.

	Cancer	Jun 22 - Jul 22
After just 15 days in your communication sector Mercury, the planet of communication leaves today, but with everything needed to keep the communication lines open. The Sun was already here when Mercury returned earlier in the month and he is not only still here, but in two days Venus, the planet of love will return to focus more on giving your heart and your relationships a voice and the Moon to begin the lead up to an eclipsing New Moon. Mercury was only here for 15 days, but his legacy and the chance he brought to get the communication lines open will live on.

	Leo	Jul 23 - Aug 22
Venus returned after your birthday month ended last month, with a chance to give your heart a voice and a final say in what you want from the coming year. While as the planet of love, Venus has a vested interest in your romantic and relationship desires, hopes and aspirations for the future, with heart and gut on the same page this is helping you nail down your entire wish list. Meanwhile, as Mercury leaves your income sector this will leave you with a smart head for money and take on both sides of the financial fence, while returning to your communication sector to do what, as the planet of communication he does best.

	Virgo	Aug 23 - Sep 22
After just 15 days in Virgo, Mercury leaves today, but not before leaving you with everything needed to keep the communication lines open. Meanwhile, four days before Mars is due to leave your income sector, Mercury’s return couldn’t come with better timing. While this might cramp Mars’ style a little and curb some of his impulsiveness, Mercury’s smart head for money will make it easier to keep your head in the game and give you more control over where to channel a growing sense of urgency when it comes to fighting for what you deserve. This includes across all the currencies in your life.

	Libra	Sep 23 - Oct 23
Mercury’s return to Libra today couldn’t come with better timing. As well as returning in time to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open ahead of the Sun’s return in five days to begin your birthday month and new solar year, Mercury returns to help you get the most out of Mars’ final days. While Mercury’s return might curb some of Mars’ impulsiveness, with this smart and practical planet giving you better control of where to channel his warrior and competitive spirit and on capturing this before he leaves, not to return to Libra for another four years.

	Scorpio	Oct 24 - Nov 21
Knowing that when Venus leaves your career sector in two days, this will end all planetary activity on the career front for the year, having the Moon here during these final days couldn’t be more important. As well as putting heart and gut on the same page and both with a direct link to the laws of attraction, as Venus did earlier in the week, the Moon is connecting with the planets in your work sector that will keep the wheels of this professional year turning. While Venus will be working to attract professional potential and the money, she is also working to leave you with the desires, hopes and aspirations that will continue to act as a guide.

	Sagittarius	Nov 22 - Dec 21
It is just before Mercury leaves your career sector today that his clash with Saturn will peak and the timing couldn’t be better. Like last week’s eclipsing Full Moon, this is putting your work/life balance to the test, but without the emotional fog of war and while you have intellectually savvy Mercury and pragmatic Saturn looking at things objectively. With the Moon and Venus having joined forces to get the most out of the final days of all planetary activity in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery for the year, the timing couldn’t be better.

	Capricorn	Dec 22 - Jan 19
As Mercury leaves your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and returns to your career sector today, this is a win/win for both sides of life’s fence. With the Sun staying on, Venus just two days away and by the weekend the lead up to an eclipsing New Moon underway, there is no danger of life becoming all work and no play. At the same time, four days before Mars is due to leave your career sector, Mercury returns in time to take over from where he will leave off, while in these final days, giving you better control over where to channel his professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit.

	Aquarius	Jan 20 - Feb 18
Two days before Venus, the planet of love is not only due to leave your relationship sector but end all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year, having the Moon here is doing more than just keeping you emotionally engaged and aware when it counts. Where Venus began the week at a friendly aspect to two of the four planets in your communication sector, the Moon will connect with all four before leaving, making it easier to keep the communication lines open. With the planets in your communication sector staying on, this is something your relationships will continue to benefit from.

	Pisces	Feb 19 - Mar 20
It is just before Mercury leaves your relationship sector today that his clash with Saturn in Pisces will peak, with one last push before the planet of communication leaves to get the communication lines open. In the meantime, this will see Mercury join Mars in your financial sector four days before the warrior planet of the cosmos is due to leave, with his smart head for money giving you more control of where to channel his financial passions and fighting spirit. Meanwhile, the Moon and Venus, the planet of money are dialling up a positive day on the income and job fronts.
