As you start to get your first real feel for 2026, you are likely to find that the stars are sending mixed messages. On the one hand, the Moon's first visit to your career sector for the year and its friendly aspect to Pluto in your work sector is helping to get the new professional year off to a positive start. On the one hand, this comes just as Mercury not only joins the Sun and the rest of the planets in a playful and creative part of your chart, but this is also having a positive impact on those in an adventurous part. It is while things are balanced that there is a chance to start the year with the right guardrails in place.
