Aries 2026 Career Horoscope

As is usually the case, it is the early and latter weeks of each year that are going to be the most active on the career front, and it is the second half of the year when the planets will return to your work sector each year. While this year is no exception, with Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos, visiting both this year, it will do so with a lot more energy. Mars will begin the year in your career sector and, while he will leave on 23rd January, not before spending six weeks firing up your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit. With the Sun always spending the first three weeks of January in your career sector, for most of that time the solar spotlight will be on your career and professional situation, matters and options.

You also begin the year with Venus and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, in your career sector. Until leaving on 18th January, Venus will be working to fuel your professional confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction, while Juno is playing a longer game. Like Venus, Mercury, who will return from 2nd January to 21st January, is not hanging around and instead will give you just enough time to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open.

When Mars leaves on 23rd January, this should end all planetary activity on the career front until the Sun and Mercury return in December, but instead Juno is here until 29th March and, even then, will retrograde back in again from 12th August to 24th October.

As the queen of commitment, Juno is able to help set your professional resolutions in the early weeks of the year, help you stick to them and return just as the most active months of the year on the job front will be kicking off. This will start with Venus’ return to your work sector from 10th July to 7th August, with a short gap until the Sun returns from 23rd August to 23rd September. This is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your work and job situation, matters and options, with Mercury moving through from 25th August to 11th September, offering a chance to work smarter, with your head in the game and your feet on the ground.

This will end all planetary activity on the job front, but not for the year, with Mars returning on 26th November for a standalone visit from 26th November 2026 to 22nd February 2027, powering things up on the job front for months.
