Along with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment who returned earlier in the week, Mercury has returned to help you turn your bucket list for 2026 into a game plan and resolutions, just as the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence is firing up.

Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
While there will be no planets in Gemini until Venus and Uranus return in April, Venus to spend just 24 days giving your heart a voice but Uranus to spend the next seven years here and lighting the way forward, the Moon’s first visit for the year is more than just the chance that you get every four weeks to check in and become more emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware. This is a chance to start looking to the future with confidence, knowing that the friendly aspect the Moon made to Pluto in an adventurous part of your chart yesterday, Uranus will lock into place for months.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
Ahead of not only the Moon’s return to Cancer tomorrow but as the first Full Moon of 2026, Mercury makes a timely return to your relationship sector today. This is a Full Moon that will always fall at some point during the Sun’s month long visit to your relationship sector, putting a balance between your own and your relationship needs under pressure. For the first time in 12 years with Jupiter in Cancer, making it harder to give your power away, but as the planet of communication, with Mercury returning in time to get the communication lines open. This adds to the support already building between the communication and relationship gods.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
At the same time that the Moon and Pluto are dialling up a special day for friendship and relationship building, things continue to power up on the income, work and career front. Thanks to the Moon’s departure from your career sector yesterday, your professional instincts are not only sharp as Mercury returns to your work sector today, but just as a friendly aspect between the Sun and Venus here and the South Node in your income sector peaks. This is the same aspect Mars formed earlier in the week. Fortunately, there is support in place to ensure life doesn’t become all work and no play.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
As you start to get your first real feel for 2026, you are likely to find that the stars are sending mixed messages. On the one hand, the Moon’s first visit to your career sector for the year and its friendly aspect to Pluto in your work sector is helping to get the new professional year off to a positive start. On the one hand, this comes just as Mercury not only joins the Sun and the rest of the planets in a playful and creative part of your chart, but this is also having a positive impact on those in an adventurous part. It is while things are balanced that there is a chance to start the year with the right guardrails in place.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
Before returning to your career sector each month the Moon has to move through an adventurous part of your chart and this is an advantage personally and professionally. On the one hand, today’s adventurous lunar vibes and their friendly aspect to Pluto in a playful and creative part of your chart will make it harder to sweat the small stuff, while good for body, mind and soul. On the other hand, with the Moon not only returning for its first visit to your career sector for the year tomorrow, but as the first Full Moon of 2026, this will make it easier to answer the professional gods’ call to hold back.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
While this is an important day on both sides of the financial fence, but with by tomorrow no focus on either, this offers a brief chance to give your financial sector, the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with the money you have, some extra attention. Mercury will leave your income sector today before he can clash with the Moon, making its first visit to your financial sector for the year. This will leave your income sector yesterday, while leaving with the smart head for money to keep income potential on track. The Moon won’t stay on for long, but enough for just a few hours at least, to focus just on the other side of the financial fence.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
The Moon is not only in your relationship sector as Mercury, the planet of communication leaves Sagittarius today, but separating from a friendly aspect to Pluto in your communication sector. This is giving you the best of both worlds, with Mercury leaving before it can clash with the Moon, while leaving you with everything needed to keep the communication lines open. It is now, that 11 days after the Sun left Sagittarius, bringing your birthday month to an end, you are finally ready to pack your game plan and resolutions for the coming year in your back pocket and move on.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
While you have had the benefit of moving into your birthday month and new solar year with Mars already here, giving you that extra bit of spunk and fighting spirit, while since then Venus and the asteroid Juno have returned, giving your heart a voice and chance to start working on your resolutions for the coming year. However, it is not until Mercury returns today and that this smart and practical planet can bring everything together. As well as giving you a better sense of where to channel Mars’ warrior and competitive spirit, with a chance to start turning Venus’ hopes and wishes into a game plan and resolutions.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
Before returning to your busy work sector each month, the Moon will always move through a playful and creative part of your chart. This can both distract you from overthinking things ahead of time while putting up the kind of guardrails that can guard against life becoming all work and no play. Most of all, this can make it easier to keep your mind and your options open on the job front and with the Moon not only returning to your work sector tomorrow but as the first Full Moon of 2026, this couldn’t be more important.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
It is less that just as you have moved into the new professional year Mercury not only leaves your career sector but ends all planetary activity here and more that he has stayed on long enough to start the year with your head in the game. As it was over two months ago that Mercury returned for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit, this smart and practical planet should have been long by now. After the Sun and Venus left last week, Mars the week before and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment earlier this week, these final days have bought you time to fine tune your game plan and resolutions moving forward.
