Sagittarius 2026 Career Horoscope

The year might get off to a slow start, but this will work to your advantage, with nothing to be gained by rushing into things. Instead, the professional gods are dialling up a year that spreads momentum evenly across 2026, placing the focus on work and job matters in the first half of the year and on the career front in the second half. With Mars spending time in both camps, this also helps to keep things balanced.

The year begins, as every year has since 2019, with Uranus, the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected, in your work sector. However, for the last time for another eight decades, once he turns direct on 5th February, Uranus will begin making his way out. He will leave on 26th April and will not return again until April 2102.

Uranus will leave behind a legacy built over the last seven years, supported by the faster planets, both to make the most of his final months and to keep the momentum going after he leaves. This begins with Venus returning from 31st March to 24th April, a period that, during Uranus’ final weeks, brings both the laws of attraction and synchronicity into effect.

From 20th April to 20th May, the Sun will have the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options. This is followed by Mercury moving through from 3rd May to 17th May, making it easier to work smarter and stay mentally agile. However, it is when Mars moves through from 19th May to 29th June that you are likely to experience the busiest and most active months of the year on the job front.

This will bring all planetary activity on the job front to a close for the year, but Mars will take you right to the doorstep of the second half of 2026, when the focus shifts to the broader career landscape. Once again, it is Venus who kicks things off, returning to your career sector from 10th July to 7th August.

By this stage of the year, Venus will be moving quickly, meaning she will have come and gone by the time the Sun returns from 23rd August to 23rd September and Mercury from 25th August to 11th September. By then, slowing ahead of a retrograde turn, Mars will be lagging behind and will not return until 26th November.

It is here that Mars will turn retrograde on 11th January 2027, retrograding back out on 22nd February before returning again from 15th May to 15th July 2027. Mars is not just returning to end the year fuelling your professional passions, fighting spirit and competitive drive. He is setting up camp.
