Mercury, the planet of thought and intelligence, is in Cancer-Ashlesha from August 22nd to September 4th, 2024.
This transit begins with Mercury retrograde up to September 29th, where the planet returns through the place it occupied in mid-July 2024. You may be reconciling a decision or looking into a possible purchase from that time, and only now finding an answer. Ashlesha is ruled by the Naghas, the mythical snakes who acted as guardians of celestial treasure, and the ‘serpent nakshatra’ shows your protectiveness and worldly wisdom.
Your thoughts are wrapped up with intuition and emotional insight, and your task is to separate thought from feeling. Expect to have moments where you are overwhelmed and at a loss for words, though your knowledge also runs deeper than simple book learning. Mercury sees you using your commercial skills and native wit to manage money and spot a new opening, where your grasp of psychology sizes a situation up quickly and it pays to listen to your instincts.
Ashlesha’s Shakti ‘To Inflict Poison’, also shows your defensive, suspicious side, and you may unnerve and hypnotize your rivals to keep up a competitive edge. Be mindful of any possible toxic atmosphere, where you have to sort out hidden agendas as people say one thing and do another. You can also tap this nakshatra’s energy to study healing and medicine, where a powerful mystical quality combines deep research with the practice of yoga and meditation.
The influence of shadowy Rahu on Mercury also gives you extra worldly knowledge and a smart way of communication, where an unlikely idea turns out to be the perfect solution.
