There are big changes on the career front this year, with the end of an era approaching but with the whole year to bring things home and an extraordinary amount of support in the first half of the year. The era that is drawing to a close is Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams' time in your career sector and Saturn's more recent return. Neptune returned to your career sector for the first time in our lifetime in 2012 and since then he has been shaping your professional dreams. However, it was Saturn's return in March 2023 that has finally given you the resolve to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes in order to turn dreams into reality. While they won't fully leave until early 2026, they both begin transitioning out this year, with Neptune leaving on 31st March and Saturn on 25th May.

This is not goodbye, but with Saturn not retrograding back in until 1st September and Neptune until 22nd October, they will be gone for several months. When Neptune does leave in January 2026 he won't return again in our lifetime, while when Saturn leaves in February 2026 it will be another three decades before he returns, making these final months with both here especially important. While this is how the slower outer planets will always transition out of one part of your chart and into another, what is unique is that Venus and Mercury, who will usually move through in a matter of weeks are mirroring this. Venus will return on 3rd January to begin what is normally a 24 day mission to fuel your job confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction.

Instead, when Venus does eventually leave on 4th February it will be by retrograding back out, returning again for a second time from 27th March to 1st May. Mercury will do the same, returning with everything needed to work smarter, get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open from 15th February to 3rd March, then after retrograding back out returning again from 30th March to 16th April. With the Sun moving through during that time, this is going to provide wraparound support to get the most out of Saturn and Neptune's final months here. Helping to keep this professional year on track and especially on the job front will be having the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your work sector until 20th February, before retrograding back in from 15th April to 1st October. This is a theme this year, but it means you will have her resolve to draw on until Mars returns to first things up on the job front on 22nd September. This begins some active months that won't run their course until 12th December and it is during this time that Saturn and Neptune will return to your career sector.
