Virgo 2026 Career Horoscope

This is one year that will start slow, or at least with business as usual for a few weeks, giving you time to get your bearings before things start to become a lot busier on the job front. That momentum then moves up a notch in April, when things begin to shift on the career front.

This is not a case of each taking turns, because while on the career front you will have a chance to build on the action on the job front in the early part of the year, things there will only dial back rather than go off the boil. With Pluto, the planet of change and transformation, in just the second full year of a 20 year transit through your work sector, that is not going to happen.

What will get the year off to a busy start on the job front is the return of the Sun, Venus, Mercury and Mars to your work sector, all within the space of five days.

It begins with Venus’ return on 18th January, something that will bring the laws of attraction into effect, followed by the Sun’s return on 20th January, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your work situation, job matters and options.

A day later, Mercury will return on 21st January with a chance to work smarter, get your head in the game, think on your feet and open the communication lines. However, it will be Mars’ return on 23rd January that proves to be the real game changer.

Until leaving on 3rd March, Mars’ first visit in two years will be a chance to fire up your work passions, fighting spirit and competitive edge, while kicking off what can be the busiest months of any year.

While Pluto will stay on, the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, will return from 29th March to 12th August and again from 24th October to 15th January 2027, helping you set and stick to your resolutions.

Meanwhile, having spent seven months in your career sector last year laying down foundations, Uranus will not only return on 26th April to spend the next six years here, but for the rest of this year and the early part of next year will be closely aligned with Pluto in your work sector. Uranus’ return comes two days after Venus returns to your career sector on 24th April, kicking off the most active months of the year on the career front.

Once again, it will be Mars who brings this chapter home and when he leaves on 11th August, he will hand the keys to Uranus, who will then take it from here.
