Business Horoscopes for Friday 16 January 2026
Aries    Aries   Mar 21 - Apr 19
As Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos moves into his final seven days in your career sector, it is with every planet that will move through this year not only all here at the same time, but with the Moon returning tomorrow to begin the lead up to the first New Moon of 2026. Yet by the time Mars leaves the only planet still here will be the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, with the time between now and then setting the path for the rest of this professional year.
 
Taurus    Taurus   Apr 20 - May 20
Even though Pluto is on his own in your career sector and has been since the Sun and Mercury left in February 2025, by the time Mars returns next week, it will be near standing room only. Mars will not only return to find the Sun, Venus and Mercury already here, but that between now and then the Moon has moved through. Buckle up, for this professional year is about to power up.
 
Gemini    Gemini   May 21 - Jun 21
Two days on from the Moon’s departure from your work sector, rather than the insight that this left you with across the income, work and career fronts waning, it is likely to have become even sharper. With your subconscious able to download information faster than you can process at the time, it is only now that the relevant information and insight will be making its way to the surface, often when and where you least expect.
 
Cancer    Cancer   Jun 22 - Jul 22
While the Moon’s first visit to your work sector for the year and since Mercury left two weeks ago was always going to be a valuable chance to check in, it is the timing that makes this significant. While the Moon’s friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in your career sector today is an ordinary monthly event, four days after her direct turn, just as her warrior and competitive spirit has come out of hibernation.
 
Leo    Leo   Jul 23 - Aug 22
The lead up to the Moon’s return to your work sector tomorrow is an important point in any month for having your antennas up while keeping an open mind. Even more so ahead of the Moon’s return to begin the lead up to the first New Moon of 2026 and to lead you into some of the most pivotal seven days of the year on the job front.
 
Virgo    Virgo   Aug 23 - Sep 22
Pluto, the planet of change and transformation is not only on his own in your work sector but has been since February 2025. Yet within seven days, that will have changed dramatically. By the time Mars returns this time next week for his first chance to fire up things on the job front in two years the Sun, Mercury and Venus will not only be here, but between now and then the Moon will have moved through. You can afford to take a wait and see approach.
 
Libra    Libra   Sep 23 - Oct 23
Over the last five days the Sun, Venus, Mars and Mercury have all clashed with Jupiter in your career sector, but on the other side, with some timely work/life balance reminders. In that time, the Moon has moved through your income sector, with its last visit before Neptune leaves your work sector giving you a read on the push that is on to have a dream that you can commit to. Yet with this is a reminder that you don’t have to rush into anything.
 
Scorpio    Scorpio   Oct 24 - Nov 21
What makes a friendly aspect between the Moon, as it makes its first visit to your income sector for the year and the dwarf planet Eris in your work sector significant is the timing. More than just a positive day on the income and job fronts, this first visit since Mercury left and ended all planetary activity on the income front and since Eris turned direct, taking the brakes off work and job matters, a chance for the two to piggyback off each other.
 
Sagittarius    Sagittarius   Nov 22 - Dec 21
At the same time that a friendly aspect between Venus in your income sector and Uranus in your work sector peaks, there are planets that are lined up and waiting to do the same. By the time Mars leaves your income sector in seven days he, the Sun, Mercury and even the Moon who doesn’t return until tomorrow, will all form the same aspect before leaving. This kicks off a pivotal few days on the income and job fronts.
 
Capricorn    Capricorn   Dec 22 - Jan 19
The biggest danger from the Moon’s first visit to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart for the year is not that this will put how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off to the test or take the wind out of your sails. Instead, it comes from the fact that it is unlikely to do either, making it easier to miss a reminder to pace yourself before the year gets any busier.
 
Aquarius    Aquarius   Jan 20 - Feb 18
Two days after the Moon left and wrapped up its first visit to your career sector for the year, rather than your professional instincts starting to lose their edge, they are likely to be even sharper. With your subconscious able to download information faster than you can process at the time, it is only now that the most valuable insight is making its way to the surface, often when and where you least expect it.
 
Pisces    Pisces   Feb 19 - Mar 20
Two weeks after Mercury not only left your career sector but ended all planetary activity on the career front until later in the year, the Moon is here, making its monthly visit. The Moon will continue to return every four weeks and this is what will help you stay on track and maintain a sense of direction. This first visit is also a chance to lock into the smart and practical edge Mercury has left you with and the months of momentum that he was part of creating.
