In astrology, a planet's shift from one sign to another is believed to have a direct bearing on how each zodiac sign fares, and Mercury is now set to move into Gemini. This transit could bring difficulties for Cancer, Aries and Scorpio, while a few other signs stand to benefit from the same move. A handful of simple remedies, astrology says, can offer considerable relief to the signs facing a rough patch.
Cancer: Fewer Comforts, Rising Work Pressure
People born under Cancer may notice a dip in material comforts during this phase. Anyone planning to buy land, a house or a vehicle could run into hurdles. Workload may increase, adding to mental pressure, so taking care of health becomes important. This is not the time to take financial risks, and any new investment plans are best put on hold for now.
Aries: Ups And Downs In Relationships, Shaky Business
For Aries, this period may bring ups and downs in relationships. Business matters could feel unsteady. Any important document or paperwork should be read carefully before it is signed. It helps to stay away from arguments and disputes, especially heated exchanges with seniors at the office. Starting anything new is also not considered favourable right now.
Scorpio: Mercury In The Eighth House, Job And Health Under Strain
For Scorpio, Mercury will transit through the eighth house of the sign, a house astrology links to longevity and crisis. This could bring difficulties at work, with rivals trying to gain the upper hand, making it wise to stay out of office politics. Health issues may also crop up during this time. Financial plans could go awry in this period, so any major money decision is best given a second thought before it is made.
Budhaditya Rajyoga Forms In Gemini
The Sun is already placed in Gemini, and once Mercury enters the same sign, the pairing of the Sun and Mercury will form what astrology calls the Budhaditya Rajyoga. This yoga is considered a marker of social standing, wealth and progress. The transit is expected to benefit Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra and Aquarius. So while three signs face a challenging stretch, six others could see favourable outcomes from the very same transit.
Why This Transit Deserves Attention
In astrology, every planetary transit is tied closely to a sign's life, career, wealth and relationships. Mercury is regarded as the planet of intellect, reasoning, communication and trade, so a change of sign for Mercury tends to play out differently for each zodiac sign. For Cancer, Aries and Scorpio, this is a period that calls for caution, while the six signs named above may find opportunity in the same transit. People from the signs facing difficulty are advised to avoid hasty, major decisions and to follow the remedies listed below regularly.
Remedies That May Offer Relief
Cancer, Aries and Scorpio natives can turn to the following remedies for considerable relief during this period.
- Feed a cow green grass or fodder on Wednesdays.
- Chant the mantra 'Om Bum Budhaya Namah' every day.
- Donate green items on Wednesdays, such as green moong dal, green fruits or green clothes.
