Mercury in Jyeshta ~ Be the voice of experience

Mercury, the planet of thought and speech, is in Jyeshtha from December 24th, 2024 to January 4th, 2025, the last nakshatra in zodiacal Scorpio.

This transit follows from Mercury’s recent retrograde phase in Jyeshta through November and early December and may see issues from that time finally being resolved. Extra information comes to light and you are in a position to choose once you have all the facts at hand. Jyeshta translates as ‘The Elder’, and sees you stepping up and owning the role as a spokesperson and voice of experience.

You may be dealing with older people or applying your expertise in a specialist area and gaining extra influence. Jyeshta’s Shakti, or special gift, is also for Courage in Battle, so prepare to be the lone voice defending a point and to argue hard for your case, even when you might say things some people don’t wish to hear. This nakshatra is said to be unfortunate for investment, but Mercury is also the planet of commerce, where you can use your ingenuity and create new tie-ins and revenue streams.

A missing ingredient for your business may appear, or you may be reminded of a plan from the past that you bring back to life. Mercury receives the glance of protective Jupiter through this whole transit, and you have confidence and a grasp of the bigger picture in your studies. Some good news increases your scope and brings the prospect of travel or financial success, and an influential person may also step in as a reference or support. You can overcome details and find a smart solution when you work together as a team.
