Your Predictions – Mercury in Vishakha + Sun Conjunction in Libra

Mercury in Vishakha ~ Mental victory and high achievement

Mercury, planet of speech and intelligence, is in Vishakha nakshatra across the signs of Libra and Scorpio from October 16th to 27th, 2025.

Vishakha is ruled by Indragni, a combination of Indra, King of the Gods and Agni, the embodiment of divine fire, which together create a Phoenix-like deity. You have great campaigning talents and may get involved with a political ideal or outlook, where you speak up effectively with the promise of success. Between this asterism’s symbol of a Victory Arch and its Shakti, or special power, To Achieve Many Fruits in Life, you are a good communicator, but make sure your ambitions don’t become all-consuming.

Your thinking is highly focused, and you are set on one particular goal, perhaps to the exclusion of all else. While preparing the ground for victory, you may confront others with similar desires, which draws you into a bigger political scenario. Mercury exchanges signs with Venus in Virgo up to October 24th, which is a great opportunity for PR work and making contacts. You combine a clever, curious mentality with smooth people skills and know exactly how to be in all company settings.

This is also an excellent period for your creativity, writing and communication, especially where your grasp of detail sits alongside a flair for presentation. Mercury also receives the influence of Jupiter, the planet of knowledge, in the final three days of this transit, where a wise teacher is on hand to give you answers. Studying and travelling broaden your horizons, and you have the confidence to tackle a subject that seemed out of reach before.

Mercury, Sun Conjunction in Libra ~ Speak up in public

Mercury, planet of the mind, is conjunct the light-giving Sun in Libra from October 17th to 24th, 2025.

Both these planets remain far enough apart in Libra to keep their essential natures strong, with Mercury being unburnt by the Sun’s glare. Sun and Mercury are planetary enemies, and Libra is also the Sun’s debilitation sign, so decision-making is the big issue at this point. You may be torn between two equally attractive options, but Mercury gives you a rational and cool-headed quality, where you can weigh an offer’s strengths and weaknesses. These two planets also create Budhaditya Yoga, a combination for study, speech, and business, which sees you finding creative solutions and ways to strike a commercial deal.

This is a good time for educational credentials, and you can present yourself as an all-around learned and cultured person. The influence of dynamic Mars in Libra also gives you a fiery and impulsive streak, where your decision-making is abrupt, in contrast to your usual balanced approach, and you speak up assertively in all company, especially around October 20th. The Sun sheds symbolic light and inspiration on a matter that has been confused or obscured, and you find a way to move forward.

You take pride in your intelligence and may have an ego wrapped up in a novel idea or theme, where you can initiate a conversation and make things happen. The New Moon in Libra on October 21st is an excellent time for a new phase of activity, and you may use the moment to launch a book, media project, or awareness-raising campaign.
