Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 16 July 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
At the same time that the Moon is making its first visit to a playful and creative part of your chart since Jupiter returned, this first visit since she left comes just as Venus is not only settling into your work sector, but this is already having a positive impact on the income and job fronts. That will become more noticeable when the Moon returns to your work sector tomorrow and while Jupiter, the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system will remain in a playful and creative part of your chart, with the working week still playing out, it would be a good idea to start putting guardrails in place.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
The Moon’s first visit to your home and family sector since Jupiter returned is going to get some pushback. Partly because this is something that every four weeks will see the Moon clash with both planets in your career sector, putting your work/life balance to the test and partly because, in the heart of the working week, this will make anything out of balance more pronounced. However, for the first time this year the scales are more evenly balanced and with the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system backing the Moon up, it’s time to take your work/life balance more seriously.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
The Moon’s first visit since Jupiter returned to spend the next year in your communication sector is also the first since Venus left last week, ending her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice. As Jupiter had been here for 10 days before Venus left and as there was an overlap where they were both here at the same time, having the Moon here is not only making it easier to give your emotional responses a voice, but to keep her legacy alive. At the same time, Jupiter is now here to support all aspects of communication, just as the Moon is also making this a positive day on the social, friendship, team and networking fronts.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
While the Moon is making its ordinary monthly visit to your income sector, something that every four weeks can sharpen your nose for money, act as a trigger and form a friendly aspect to the three planets in your career sector as it moves through, it is the times themselves that have changed. This first visit since Venus left last week is also the first since Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion returned to take over from where she left off. While Venus was working to make the nearly four weeks that she was here as lucrative as possible, Jupiter not only has a lot more influence but is here for another year.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
As the Moon continues its first visit to Leo since Jupiter’s return and its last before the Sun returns to begin your birthday month and new solar year in seven days, it is making contact with another of the three planets in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery. With Jupiter just days away from a friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams there and Venus having formed a friendly aspect to all three before leaving last week, this is a window into the planets that are going to support the journey ahead through what will be your most defining year in over a decade.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
While the Moon’s monthly visit to an intuitive and imaginative part of your chart was always going to see it form a friendly aspect to the three planets in your financial sector as it moves through, this is doing more than just helping to fuel your financial confidence, instincts and imagination. After Neptune turned retrograde last week, with Eris at a standstill ahead of a retrograde turn in seven days and Saturn turning retrograde a few days later, just as the planets on this side of the financial fence are moving into review mode. Waiting in the wings is the first planetary activity on the income side of the financial fence this year, which is now just three weeks away.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
The Moon’s first visit to your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking since Jupiter’s return to spend the next year here will see it form a friendly aspect to the three planets in your relationship sector, as it does with each monthly visit. The difference this time is that Jupiter is days away from a friendly aspect to Neptune in your relationship sector and will spend the next year closely connected to all three. While the Moon is only passing through and is creating a positive few days for personal and professional networking, friendship and relationship building, this is a taste of things to come.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
At the same time that the Sun and Mercury are staying on to keep the adventurous side of life’s fence alive and fired up after the New Moon here two days ago, the Moon is connecting with planets on the job and career fronts that are becoming equally empowered. Yet it is not the planets on the adventurous and the busy side of life’s fence that are in direct competition and instead those in your home and family sector. The Moon has just clashed with both, bringing its monthly work/life balance reminder that couldn’t come with better timing.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
It is just as the professional gods are calling for a wait and see approach ahead of the Moon’s return to your career sector tomorrow and for its first visit since Venus returned to breathe new life into job and career matters, that the Moon is helping to energise the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. This won’t take much, for the Moon is connecting with planets that have already started to come together. As the Moon’s return to your career sector tomorrow will also see it cross the lunar nodes for the last time before their 18 month policing of your work/life balance ends, this is one time when you want to pay attention.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your relationship sector yesterday, you are able to move into the Sun’s final seven days here more emotionally engaged and aware. While as a New Moon this has been a chance to draw a new line in the sand with Mercury, the planet of communication still in retrograde motion, better able to give your emotional responses, relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. Meanwhile, the Moon’s first visit to your financial sector since Jupiter returned is both sharpening your financial instincts and giving you a read on both sides of the financial fence.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
Having the Moon in your communication sector as the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos moves into her final seven days in direct motion in your relationship sector, isn’t the only advantage today. This first visit since Jupiter returned to spend the next year in your relationship sector comes just as Neptune, having turned retrograde last week, is already working to give the past and unsaid words a voice. While the Moon is only passing through, this is keeping you emotionally engaged and aware as Jupiter and Neptune drift closer to an alliance that will begin over the weekend.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
While the Moon’s monthly visit to your work sector is not only bringing things together on the income and job fronts, but as the planets here have already begun the process, it has left the Sun and Mercury behind in a playful and creative part of your chart. Two days after a New Moon there, the Sun and Mercury are equally determined to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play. While both sides of life’s fence will continue to power up, fortunately you don’t have to pick and choose. Instead, it is all about knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off.
