Aries
Even if you don’t see yourself as a homebody – this is where your key satisfaction can be found today. You could rediscover a skill, or even some lost cash, linked to your home, and take this forward in true Aries pioneer style. Meanwhile, passion that reaches every part of you, not just the surface, may feel scary at first but is worth the risk.
Taurus
As mind planet Mercury flips into reverse, it could be a challenge to hold on to some plans that have been several months in the making. The key is not to resist small changes as you go – but do keep your end goal clear in your mind and heart. You have such a gift for conversation today, and the ability to sense what’s really being said.
Gemini
Ambitions that seemed so steady can suddenly be up in the air as Mercury’s first retrograde of 2026 begins. You are a sign that loves a challenge and this one can reap great rewards if you maintain your focus. This may mean stepping back from people who always seem to try to take over. Friendship has Saturn-support, to make a tricky call.
Cancer
From the moment you wake up today you should feel the extra insight and empathy in your chart. When you sense what people or projects really need, do believe this is a serious breakthrough and should be shared. It may feel harder than usual to get facts or figures into your head – if you need to extend a deadline, do say so, ASAP.
Leo
Of course as a Leo you are usually so upfront – but this is a day to play with mystery, and keep some of your desires and dreams to yourself. With a partner, this can intensify a bond, as sharing can feel more mutual. If you’re single, revealing your true self little by little, can provide an emotional safety net. The luck factor circles blue boxes.
Virgo
As Mercury hits retrograde, you get the prompt to transform your co-operation and leadership style. A time of gritting your teeth and trying to make others’ ideas work, while sidelining your own, can end. This is your day to be firmer, about what you want and who you are. If this causes waves, then you can crest them, in confident style.
Libra
Any decision to change from one health path to another has to come from inside you – and today this can happen. You see where you could, and maybe should, switch things up a little. And also that the right people to support this change are right there in your life. As for love, the moon and sun make a strong case for opposites attracting.
Scorpio
Even if you don’t see yourself as a homebody – this is where your key satisfaction can be found today. You could rediscover a skill, or even some lost cash, linked to your home, and take this forward in true Aries pioneer style. Meanwhile, passion that reaches every part of you, not just the surface, may feel scary at first but is worth the risk.
Sagittarius
Family ripples of discontent could gain energy today – but do try not to join in until you are clear what the issue is. Just taking the time to talk properly to everyone involved can clarify your mind, and a simple solution could follow. In love, yes you so value freedom, but right now the security an earth sign offers could be worth even more.
Capricorn
Words that have been stuck, maybe for months, can come tumbling out today due to chart upheaval – so it’s best to pay close attention to everything you say, write or send. Double-check that your meaning cannot be misunderstood in any way. The moon and sun help you assemble a team of big personalities who can still succeed together.
Aquarius
Maybe you pride yourself on floating above financial concerns – but just paying a little more attention today can reap rewards. Instead of letting someone else take care of cash, do your own research, gather your own figures. You can find a new energy – and make some key savings. Love-wise, two hidden hearts are reaching out to each other.
Pisces
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PISCES – Embracing the unknown is not easy for you but this is the key to moving forward for the next few retrograde weeks. So stop expecting firm figures and fixed promises, and let yourself go with the flow. At work, this can lead to requesting to try a new role. At home, a family can really surprise you. In love, nothing and no one is out of bounds.
