Mercury, the planet of the mind, is conjunct with the life-giving Sun in Scorpio from December 2nd to 16th, 2026.

The Sun and Mercury remain far apart through this transit, in different nakshatras, with the Sun in Jyeshta and Mercury initially in Vishakha, and the solar light does not have an overpowering influence on your ideas and decision-making. You get a good effect from Budhaditya Yoga, the Sun-Mercury combination for mental agility and intelligence, with powers of study and recall, along with sharp commercial instincts. This is a transit for education and business success, or for working in communication or media.

You can apply for a job or get an offer that comes out of your past efforts, and you attract higher income and quality investment. Your mind is deep and perceptive, and in Scorpio, cuts to the heart of an issue without being concerned over superficial talk. The Sun and Mercury receive the impact of dynamic Mars through this whole transit, which puts a greater focus on your achievement and competitive spirit.

You may feel under pressure to perform at work or have to assert yourself in a way that risks creating tension, especially from December 9th to 11th. The Sun and Mars exchanging signs is more fortunate, however, and you can build an alliance and find a professional position where you make the rules. Take advantage of your physical energy at this point, and working harder and being decisive removes a temporary obstacle.

The Scorpio New Moon on December 9th is a moment for meditation and affirmation, where Mercury’s clear communication helps to set your goals going forward.
