Mercury, revered in Vedic astrology as the king of planets and the significator of intellect, communication, business and money, is set to shift into a new nakshatra this evening. The planet's position changes at exactly 4:31 pm today, and the shift is expected to bring positive results for five zodiac signs over the days that follow.
The nakshatra shift, explained
Mercury is currently transiting Purva Phalguni nakshatra, which is ruled by the Sun. After this evening's shift, Mercury will remain in its new position for about 13 days, meaning the effects should be felt over the next 9 days. During this window, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Scorpio and Sagittarius are the signs expected to see favourable changes.
Taurus: relief on both the career and family fronts
For Taurus natives, this shift in Mercury could bring good news on the career front. Strong support from seniors at work is likely, which should help push stalled projects forward. Time spent with family is also set to be pleasant, with a chance to spend time with children or take a short trip. The whole week looks set to feel steady, with things gradually falling back into place.
