Leo 2026 Career Horoscope

It is less that after an initial push things are going to go flat, and more that on both the job and career fronts the real push is going to happen in the first half of the year, but in a way that, instead of a departure from the norm, is a return to the norm. Until Uranus returned to your career sector in 2019, there had been continuous planetary activity on the career front for six years and, in that time, even Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, moved through.

Uranus left in July 2025, but four months later he retrograded back to tie up loose ends and, as you move into the New Year, he is still here and will be until he leaves on 26th April, this time not returning again for another eight decades.

This comes just as the most active and busiest months of the year on the career front will be kicking off, starting with Venus’ return on 31st April. While Venus will leave on 24th April, two days before Uranus, with the Sun here from 20th April to 21st April, Mercury from 3rd May to 17th May and Mars not returning for his first visit in two years until 19th May, this will keep the momentum going. So much so that, until he leaves on 29th June, Mars will be making these some of the busiest six weeks of the year on the career front.

However, when Mars leaves this will be the end of the years where there has been near continuous planetary activity in your career sector, with the pattern shifting back to what it was before Uranus returned in 2019, but with all the experience, resources and momentum since then banked.

Meanwhile, it is while you are waiting for Uranus to turn direct on 5th February and for Venus to return to your career sector on 31st March to kick off the most active months of the year on the career front that the year begins with things already at that point on the job front. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of January in your work sector, the year always begins with the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options.

This time, the year also begins with Venus, Mars and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, here, with Mercury returning with a chance to work smarter, get your head in the game, think on your feet and open the communication lines from 2nd January to 21st January. Over the course of the month all but one will leave, Venus on 18th January, the Sun on 20th January and Mars on 23rd January.

Staying on is Juno, the queen of commitment, who will leave on 29th March but will retrograde back in again from 12th August to 24th October, helping you set and stick to your resolutions.
