Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 01 October 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
Whether it is Mercury’s departure from your relationship sector today or his return to your financial sector, this is going to have a positive impact. With the Sun in your relationship sector for another three weeks and Venus, the planet of love retrograding back in later in the month, as the planet of communication, it is just as Mercury’s job ends that the Moon returns to your communication sector to keep the momentum going. Meanwhile, Mercury’s return to your financial sector is a chance to go into Venus’ retrograde turn here tomorrow and the old doors this will open with a smart head for money from the start.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
Mercury is on the move today and both where he begins and ends the day will have ongoing advantages. While this will see Mercury leave your work sector just as things are taking a positive turn on the income, work and career fronts, not before leaving you with everything needed to keep working smarter and your head in the game. Meanwhile, as the planet of communication, Mercury’s return to your relationship sector just as Venus, the planet of love has come to a standstill ahead of her retrograde turn here tomorrow couldn’t come with better timing. In just over three weeks Mercury will do the same, between them supporting your relationships for the rest of the year.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
While Mercury will leave a playful and creative part of your chart and return to your busy work sector today, not only is there no danger of the scales tipping from one side of life’s fence to the other, but this is an advantage for both. Having spent the last few weeks working to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, Mercury not only leaves the Sun behind, but with a growing sense of resolve on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. Meanwhile, as Mercury joins Venus in your work sector, this completes a team that is going to have positive implications on the income and job fronts for the rest of the year.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
As Mercury returns to a playful and creative part of your chart today for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page before returning to your busy work sector, something special is happening. Three weeks after Venus returned for what is normally a 24 day transit before leaving, she has instead come to a standstill ahead of a retrograde turn tomorrow. In just over three weeks Mercury will do the same, keeping him here until December and Venus on and off until January.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
While Mercury will leave your communication sector today, not before as the planet of communication, doing what he could to get the communication lines open. Fortunately, with a clash between Mars in Leo and Pluto in your relationship sector coming up later in the month, Mercury not only leaves the Sun behind in your communication sector but still separating from a friendly aspect to Pluto in your relationship sector. The Moon’s friendly aspect to the Sun and Pluto today will give the communication lines on the relationship front an additional boost just as Mercury is leaving.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
It is just before the Moon not only returns to your career sector today but, in the heart of the working week will spend its early hours at a friendly aspect to planets across the income, work and career fronts, that Mercury will leave your income sector today. However, not before leaving you with the smart head for money that will allow you to keep your head in the game. This will see Mercury move on to join Venus in your communication sector, where the planets of love and communication can work together to get the communication lines open.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
While having Mercury, the planet of communication in Libra during the weekend’s Full Moon in your relationship sector and any personal and/or relationship tension this created was an advantage, this departure today leaves you with everything needed to keep the communication lines open. Meanwhile, it is just after Mercury leaves that the Moon’s return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery will do more than just energise the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. After clashing as a Full Moon, this will put the Moon at a friendly aspect to the Sun, putting them back in harmony, restoring a sense of confidence and optimism.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
It is just as Venus has come to a standstill ahead of a retrograde turn tomorrow that Mercury not only joins her in Scorpio today, but to begin what will be a special partnership. Three weeks after returning for what will normally be a 24 day chance to give your heart a voice and a say in what you want from the coming year, Mercury returns for what is normally a 14 to 15 day chance to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open. Instead, with Venus turning retrograde tomorrow and Mercury in just over three weeks, between them they will be here for the rest of the year.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
It is just after Mercury, the planet of communication leaves your friendship sector today that the Moon not only returns to your relationship sector, but to kick off a special few days across the communication, social and relationship fronts. This is the Moon’s first visit since Uranus turned retrograde in your relationship sector, the last while Pluto is in retrograde motion in your communication sector and the only visit while the Sun is in your friendship sector. The Moon will not only spend its early hours at a positive aspect to all three, but just days after the Sun has connected to the other two.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
Whether it is his departure from your career sector today or his return to your friendship sector, Mercury is going to be an asset on both sides. It is just after Mercury leaves that the Moon won’t just return to your work sector, but team up with the Sun to kick off a positive few days across the income, work and career fronts. Thanks to Mercury with a chance to go into this with your head in the game. Meanwhile, with Venus at a standstill ahead of her retrograde turn in your friendship sector tomorrow and some special months ahead for friendship and relationship building, Mercury returns to do what as the planet of communication he does best.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
While for Mercury, his departure from an adventurous part of your chart where he has been helping you turn your bucket list into a game plan and return to your career sector is a significant shift, this won’t see the scales tip to the other side of life’s fence. If anything, even without the Moon’s return to a playful and creative part of your chart just after he leaves, as Mercury returns to join Venus just as she is getting ready to turn retrograde in your career sector tomorrow, this will help to balance the scales. Helping is that while something special is developing on the job and career fronts, it has the rest of the year to play out.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
Just as Venus has reached her last full day in direct motion in an adventurous part of your chart before turning retrograde and opening the doors to the past and second chances tomorrow, Mercury joins her today. Normally, Mercury would spend 14 to 15 days working to turn your bucket list into a game plan and then move on, but in just over three weeks, he too will turn retrograde. At the same time, just as she should be getting ready to leave a playful and creative part of your chart, the dwarf planet Ceres is preparing to do the same. Between them, they are going to keep the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence alive for the rest of the year.
