Mercury in Bharani

Mercury, planet of intellect and communication, is in Bharani, in the zodiacal sign of Aries, from May 6th to 13th 2026. Bharani’s name means ‘she who bears’, its symbol is a Vulva, and its meaning is bound up with giving birth, either as in bearing children or delivering a plan or creative idea.

Your Predictions →

It takes courage to stick to an inventive scheme, but you have the confidence to back your judgment. Intense focus is your gift, and you assert your opinion, even when you are airing an unpopular truth. Your personal ‘brainchild’ gives rise to educational success and new insights, as well as spawning new plans, connections and business schemes.

Mars in Gandanta

Mars, the planet of energy and dynamism, is in the Gandanta zone between water and fire zodiacal signs and nakshatras from May 7th to 15th, 2026. Pisces and Aries, and Revati and Ashwini, are sharply contrasting energies, and any planet moving through this Gandanta ‘knot-end’ has to adjust to an unfocused and fated quality.

Your Predictions →

Events can feel random and contrary, where you get a quite different result than you are aiming for, and deal with an unexpected outcome. Mars’s direct and impulsive style pushes on through regardless, but you may need a subtler approach and to strategise more carefully.

May 8 — 18, 2026

Venus in Mrigashira

Venus, planet of love and values, is in Mrigashira, the nakshatra spanning the signs of Taurus and Gemini from May 8th to 18th, 2026. Mrigashira’s symbol, the Deer, is depicted in myth being pursued across the skies by Brahma, the Creator, and this transit sees you driven by desire and the thrill of the chase.

Your Predictions →

Even in this nakshatra’s initial earthy Taurus portion, Venus sees you pursuing goals for their own sake without thinking of your overall direction, and your romantic life has a restless streak. Mrigashira naturally senses unexplored possibilities, and you may be reluctant to commit when there’s a bigger promise around the corner.
