Libra 2026 Career Horoscope

While the year begins with some of the most powerful planets in the solar system positioned in your two professional houses, there is also a passing of the torch, with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, not leaving your career sector until 30th June, but Neptune gone from your work sector by the end of January and Saturn just a few weeks later.

This is the end of an era, for while Neptune retrograded back in for seven months last year, when he leaves your work sector on 27th January it will be another 150 years before he returns, so not again in our lifetime. Just a few weeks later, on 14th February, Saturn, who since returning in March 2023 has played bad cop to Neptune’s good cop, will leave as well, not to return for another three decades.

However, their legacy will live on, leaving you with the resolve to keep doing whatever it takes for as long as it takes to turn dreams into reality. Do not expect the pace to drop back, for on 7th February, a week before Saturn leaves, Mercury will return, followed by Venus on 10th February. Venus will return to begin what will be the most active months of the year on the job front.

While Venus will leave on 6th March, with the Sun here from 19th February to 21st March and Mars from 3rd March to 10th April, things will not be dialling back any time soon. Instead, the six and a half weeks that Mars is here could be the busiest of the year.

Helping to keep your head in the game and your feet on the ground will be Mercury, who, instead of racing through in 14 to 15 days, will be held here by a retrograde phase until 10th April.

This is when, for the first time in 16 years, your work sector will not only be empty, but will stay that way for the rest of the year and the timing could not be better. While all this is happening on the job front, Jupiter is in retrograde motion in your career sector and, while he will turn direct on 11th March, he has until Venus returns on 19th May before it is time to bring things home.

Once again, Mars will be the last planet to leave, but this time he will not even return to your career sector until 11th August and will not leave until September, by which point you will be into the most lucrative months of the year on the income front.

While Jupiter will leave, bringing his 12 month quest for professional growth and expansion to a close on 30th June, the job of exploiting this will be at its height from Venus’ return on 19th May to Mars’ departure on 10th April.
