Mercury, planet of the mind, is conjunct with the life-giving Sun in Scorpio from November 16th to 23rd, 2025.

This transit is part of Mercury’s retrograde phase in Scorpio, where it is burnt up by the Sun’s light, and you may need to consult others and get a wider perspective. Budhaditya Yoga is the Sun-Mercury combination for mental agility and intelligence, which gives you quick study and recall, 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 from your past efforts, and you stand to attract higher income and quality investment.

Your mind is sharp and perceptive, and in Scorpio, cuts to the heart of an issue without being concerned over superficial talk. Sun and Mercury both receive Jupiter’s supportive glance throughout this transit, which gives you an optimistic outlook and the courage to study a new subject, or perhaps a language. A teacher or mentor may be available to guide you, and you see education and gaining new credentials in a positive light. An answer that you have struggled to find comes more easily, and you are an enthusiastic student.

Take good advice on board, and you can reply with an informed and ambitious explanation more easily than exchanging small talk with a friend. Mercury and Sun are also affected by passionate Mars in Scorpio, which gives you greater urgency and the ability to assert yourself. This is a good time to complain and campaign, and you speak and become an important voice in a debate.
