Daily Horoscopes for Sunday 18 January 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
One of the largest cosmic shifts of the year begins today, not because of the size or importance of any one planet and more because over the next five days the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury and Mars are not only all on the move, but in a shift in focus from one side of life’s fence to the other that is going to change the dynamics of the year itself. It starts today with Venus’ departure from your career sector, just as a New Moon is adding additional juice to a combined push to get this new professional year up to speed. This will see Venus shift her and your heart’s focus onto the more social aspects of life with the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars all following suit over the coming days.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
Today not only marks the start of one of the most active five days of the year in terms of cosmic shifts, but all in one direction and all from one very different side of life’s fence to the other. It begins today when, just as a New Moon is putting even more weight on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence Venus not only leaves your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery but returns to join Pluto in your career sector. Over the next five days the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars will all do the same, shifting the balance of power of the year itself.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
While the weekend is the ideal time for Venus’ return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, but the reality is that this is going to extend beyond the weekend and continue to power up for weeks and months to come. Over the next five days the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars will all do the same, though for now they are staying on to finish up a combined push to get this new financial year up to speed and moving in the right direction. It is when Mars returns next week with his first chance in two years to fire up a passion for adventure and a hunger for life’s richer experiences that this will really power up.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
The Moon is not only in your relationship sector as Venus leaves today, but with a New Moon that is giving the Sun, Mercury and Mars’ final days an additional edge.

Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22

Over the course of the next five days the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars will all do the same, but with a chance to first capitalise on the New Moon in your work sector and the momentum this can create. As the planet of love, this will give Venus a chance to get in first and start working her magic.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
