Mercury, the planet of thought and intelligence, is in Cancer-Ashlesha from July 7th to Jul 29th, 2025.
Ashlesha is ruled by the Naghas, the mythical snakes who acted as guardians of celestial treasure, and this ‘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. You may expect to have moments where you are overwhelmed and at a loss for words, though your knowledge also runs deeper than simple book learning.
This extended transit includes Mercury retrograde from July 19th, where you are reconciling a decision or reviewing a purchase and has more than one possible option. Mercury’s retrograde arc is often a time to defer choices, especially where your commercial affairs are concerned, and you are managing money and securities. You can 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.
Psychology definitely comes into your strategy for success. Be mindful of any possible toxic atmosphere in the company or at work, where you have to sort out hidden agendas, as people say one thing and do another. Mercury sits between the influences of philosophical Jupiter and mystical Ketu through this whole transit, and you can tap Ashlesha’s intense energy to study healing and medicine. You have powers of intellect combined with intuition, deep research and practice of yoga and meditation.
