Cancer Monthly Career Horoscope

January 2026

While the year starts on a relatively quiet note, the pace will not only pick up as the month progresses, but by the end of the month a total transformation will have taken place. With the Sun having just left your work sector in the lead up to Christmas, Mars a week earlier, Venus on Christmas Day and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment on 30th December, the final months of 2025 are likely to have been the busiest and as you move into the New Year, things are still playing out. It is not until Mercury leaves on 2nd January that all planetary activity on the job front until later in the year will come to an end, while bringing a chance to move into the New Year with your head in the game and still in the process of tying up the loose ends of your game plan and resolutions for the coming year. This is when you will finally have a chance to take your foot off the gas, with Mercury's final hours more an overrun from last year. As you also start the month with two of the three planets in your career sector, all minor planets playing a long game not only still in retrograde motion but at a standstill, this will finally give you a chance to take your work hat off and even take a break. Whether you have worked through the holiday period or not, this is when you will finally feel the pressure to always be on the clock drop back, with the Moon's return to your work sector from 14th January to 16th January a chance to check and both tie up the loose ends from some active months and set things on the right course moving forward. By then, while Chiron will turn direct in your career sector on 3rd January and the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos on 12th January, they will remain at a standstill for the majority of the month, though when the Moon returns from 24th January to 26th January this will both give things a nudge and as your professional instincts kick in, make it clear that there is major change in the air. You won't have to wait long with Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returning to your career sector on 27th January to spend the next 13 years here and Saturn a few weeks later to spend the next two years giving you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.
