Two significant mid-June transits arrive. Mars moves through the fiery nakshatra of Krittika, and Mercury joins the Sun in Gemini to form the auspicious Budhaditya Yoga.

✦ Jun 16 - Jul 04

Mars in Krittika.

Mars, planet of energy and assertiveness, is in Krittika, the nakshatra spanning the zodiacal signs of Aries and Taurus, between June 16th and July 4th, 2026. Krittika’s symbol of a Flame or Razor is reflected in its ruling deity, Agni, the personification of sacred fire. In fiery Aries, you are direct and daring - a strong physical workout burns energy and weight, as you whip yourself into shape.

Then by June 20th, Mars moves into earthy Taurus, where your actions are slower and more deliberate. This nakshatra’s Shakti, or special power, ‘To Burn’, burns away waste and negativity in order to refine and purify - you can get to the heart of your plans with scalpel-like judgment, or cut through confusion on the way to a decisive move.

✦ Jun 17 - Jun 22

Mercury, Sun Conjunction in Gemini.

Mercury, planet of the mind, is conjunct with the Sun in Gemini from June 17th to June 22nd, 2026. Together, these planets make Budhaditya Yoga, a combination for scholarship and teaching, where you can study, research, and create, with a flair for making new contacts and doing business.

Your Predictions →

Gemini has the gift of making complex ideas accessible to others, and you can operate as a natural go-between, translator, and negotiator. The Sun shines light on Mercury’s quest for knowledge, giving you added pride in your problem-solving ability, a sharp wit, and innovative thinking through modern technology.
