Capricorn 2026 Career Horoscope

While you move into the New Year with no planets in either of your two professional houses, this is the norm for this time of year. It is not usually until the Sun returns to your work sector on 21st May that things start to take off on the job front, and six months later, when he returns to your career sector on 23rd September each year, he does the same on the career front.

While that is still and will always be the case, this year offers something to get excited about on both fronts, with an overlap of the two.

This year, you will not have to wait for the Sun. Nearly a month earlier, Venus will return to your work sector on 24th April to kick off not just all planetary activity on the job front this year, but the start of six years of continuous planetary activity.

The game changer comes two days later when Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected, returns on 26th April. While he spent seven months here last year before retrograding back out, this time he is not leaving until May 2033. As will be the case for all planets returning to your work and career sectors this year, they will move almost straight into a friendly aspect to Pluto in your income sector.

For Venus, the Sun, Mercury and Mars, this alignment will be fleeting and will get their time in your work sector off to a positive and potentially lucrative start. Uranus and Pluto, however, will be locked together for much of 2026 and 2027.

While Venus is only here until 19th May, Mercury from 17th May to 2nd June and the Sun from 21st May to 21st June, it is Mars who will really exploit this.

It is eight days after the solar spotlight shifts off work and job matters that Mars will return. From 29th June to 11th August, he will make these some of the busiest and most productive weeks on the job front this year.

It is while Mars is still here that Venus will return to your career sector from 7th August to 10th September, kicking off the most active months of 2026 on the career front. As she did with her return earlier in the year, Venus will spend her early days at a friendly aspect to Pluto in your income sector and to Uranus in your work sector, beginning what will be a positive end to the year across the income, work and career fronts.

A day after Venus leaves, Mercury will return and will be here from 11th September to 1st October, with the Sun moving through your career sector from 23rd September to 23rd October.

This should end all planetary activity on the career front for the year, but Venus will retrograde back in for a do over from 25th October to 4th December.
