Your horoscopes for the week 20 July to 26 July, 2026
Aries – March 21 to April 20
With the Sun and Jupiter in your joy and creativity zone, the key to happiness and fulfilment this week is expressing your colourful inner child. Karma and destiny are also around, as Saturn and Neptune (both in Aries) link up with powerful Pluto and your ruler, Mars. So it’s time to be disciplined, follow your dreams and transform your life in positive ways. As actress (and birthday great) Helen Mirren reminds us “We write our life story by the choices we make.”
Taurus – April 21 to May 21
When it comes to a financial issue, Saturn encourages you to take your time and look at all sides of the situation, particularly the ones that are less obvious. And things are about to get busy at home (via DIY projects, professional renovations or an influx of unexpected guests?) as the Sun and Jupiter jump through your domestic zone. A misunderstanding or a problem with a car, computer or phone should start to clear up after Mercury moves forward on Friday.
Gemini – May 22 to June 21
Proactive Mars and independent Uranus are both dashing through your sign, so this week will work best if you keep your nose out of other people’s business and concentrate on pursuing personal projects. Tuesday’s terrific link between Jupiter and Uranus (in Gemini) encourages fiery bursts of inspiration. However – with Saturn aspecting Mars (in your sign) – good ideas on their own won’t get you far. You must combine creativity with plenty of hard work and practical productivity.
Cancer – June 22 to July 23
It’s a good week for Crabs. After three weeks in retrograde mode, Mercury starts moving forwards in your sign on Friday (at 9 am, Sydney time). Yeah! So plans, projects and relationships that have been stalled and stymied should gradually start to pick up pace, particularly at work. And the current planetary aspects are especially good for professional and financial matters. Monday is a wonderful day to write down your wish list and make your dreams come true.
Leo – July 24 to August 23
Have you been waiting in the wings or sulking on the sidelines, Lions? Remember that expansive Jupiter is now transiting through your sign (which only happens every 12 years). So spring into action – wake up, explore, experiment, take a calculated risk and make some noise! Be inspired by fellow Leo, birthday great Helen Mirren (who was born on July 26, 1945) “If you want to go make your mark in the world, you’ve got to go out and do it. Don’t be shy, be adventurous.”
Virgo – August 24 to September 23
Mercury (your patron planet) is still in retrograde mode (until Friday) and the Sun and Jupiter are transiting through your solitude zone. So this week is a time for meditation, contemplation, rumination and relaxation, as you reboot and refresh from within. Clever Virgos will have a digital detox, reschedule work appointments and/or postpone social plans. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great, Carl Jung “Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.”
Libra – September 24 to October 23
Monday’s Jupiter/Neptune trine is terrific news for loved-up Librans as you romance your long-term partner, or sparks fly with a glamorous new sweetheart. It’s also a wonderful week to express yourself creatively. And thank goodness Mercury finally turns direct in your career zone on Friday morning (Sydney time) after three weeks of confusion. So a professional problem, work challenge or complicated relationship with a colleague, client or customer should gradually improve.
Scorpio – October 24 to November 22
There could be friction early in the week, when the Jupiter/Pluto opposition amplifies a workplace problem or exaggerates a domestic drama. Aim to calm troubled waters with a dash of charm and a double dose of diplomacy. Then Mercury charges forward in your travel zone on Friday, so plan a fabulous getaway for some time soon. Motivation for the moment is from fellow Scorpio, writer Albert Camus “Charm is a way of getting the answer yes, without asking a clear question.”
Sagittarius – November 23 to December 21
With the Sun and Jupiter (your patron planet) visiting your wanderlust zone, many restless Sagittarians will be feeling cooped up, housebound and a bit stir-crazy. Thank goodness Mercury finally moves forwards on Friday morning (Sydney time). So the weekend is the time to dream big dreams and make connections with folk from foreign shores. Plus pull on your travelling shoes and escape on a short getaway – or plan a longer trip to faraway places for some time soon.
Capricorn – December 22 to January 20
Do you have a frustrating problem that needs fixing? Have you asked numerous other people for advice but still can’t find a satisfactory solution? This week the Sun, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune all activate your trust and wisdom zone. So listen to your inner voice and pay close attention to symbolic messages and intuitive insights. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great, Carl Jung “The person who looks outward dreams, the person who looks inward awakens.”
Aquarius – January 21 to February 19
A close partnership (of the romantic, platonic or business variety) should gradually improve as the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus all rev up your relationship zone. The more proactive you are about communicating clearly and contributing generously, the better. Four planets also stimulate your conversation, education and neighbourhood zone. So it’s a fabulous week to focus, plan, study, organise and strategize, especially involving neighbours and projects within your local community.
Pisces – February 20 to March 20
Physical energy and mental enthusiasm are higher than usual, as the Sun and Jupiter fire up your health and wellbeing zone. So get moving, mingling, walking and talking! The focus is also on self-expression, entertainment and friendship as Mercury moves forward in your creativity and social activity zone on Friday morning. So the weekend is a good time to plan a party, book a massage, attend a concert, see an exhibition, enjoy a lunch date or a night at the movies with friends.
