Your Predictions – Mercury + Venus Conjunction in Cancer

Mercury + Venus Conjunction in Cancer – August 21 to 30

Mercury, planet of the mind, and Venus, planet of partnership, come together in Cancer from August 21 to 30th 2025. This pair of planetary friends together make a great transit for harmonious speech and reaching out to people to promote yourself and your business.

Remaining in different nakshatras, Mercury in Ashlesha and Venus in Punarvasu, then Pushya, combine shrewd judgement with a sympathetic, maternal style of relating. You are curious about people and size a situation up quickly, but also need time to get to know someone before opening up and sharing. You are attracted to a lover’s wit and intelligence, and a shared sense of humour is a great romantic bond. Light company may not be enough on its own, however, when you really need deeper connection and a proper commitment.

Mercury returns to its present place in Cancer after first visiting through July of 2025, and the input of friend or partner now may see you reaching an ambition second time around. Both Mercury and Venus are also flanked in signs by Jupiter and Ketu through this transit, which gives your communication and relating a mystical and questing quality. Expect people to come to you for sympathy, or to vent their feelings, and listen to your instincts when you sense social signals without needing to be told. You are alive to changes in atmosphere and close friends’ responses, and may find a rapport with a fellow seeker in a spiritual retreat or educational setup.
