Aquarius 2026 Career Horoscope

For the first time in 12 years, you are moving into the year with Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, in your work sector, and not leaving until 30th June. This means you are halfway through what he has been working to make your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade. You also begin the year with Jupiter in retrograde motion and, with the last planet having left your career sector in December 2025, this wraps up all planetary activity on the career front until the second half of the year.

With Jupiter not turning direct until 11th March and the first of the faster planets not returning to begin the most active months of the year on the job front and to help bring Jupiter’s journey home until May, the year might appear to get off to a slow start.

Instead, while giving you a chance to take your foot off the gas after a busy second half of 2025, the planets that will eventually play a major role in exploiting job and career potential this year are more focused on the money. With Neptune leaving your income sector on 27th January and not returning for another 150 years, and Saturn leaving on 14th February and not returning for another three decades, the early weeks of the year are more about the income potential from work and the effort put into your 2025 professional year.

By the time Venus returns to your work sector from 19th May to 13th June, Jupiter will have been in direct motion for two months and, with his departure on 30th June, will be ready to bring things home.

Helping to get the most out of Jupiter’s final weeks and to keep the wheels going after he leaves will be Mercury’s return from 2nd June to 10th August, the Sun’s return from 21st June to 23rd July, and Mars’ return from 11th September to 28th September.

It is while Mars is still here and things are still active on the job front that Venus will return for what will be the first of two visits to your career sector, from 10th September to 25th October.

With Mercury here from 1st October to 6th December and the Sun from 23rd November to 22nd December, they will keep the seat warm and the wheels turning until Venus retrogrades back in on 4th December. Not leaving again until 27th January 2027, Venus will end the year here.
