On May 19, 2026, planet Mercury is going to transit in its Nakshatra (house of Moon). On this day, at 2:37 pm, Mercury will move out of the constellation of its friend, the Sun (Kritika) and enter the constellation of the Moon (Rohini). In Vedic astrology, Mercury is considered to be the significator of ‘Buddhi’ (understanding), while the Moon represents ‘Mana’ (mentality). When Mercury enters the constellation of the Moon, a unique paradox arises; Mercury considers Moon as its enemy, while Moon considers Mercury as its friend. Mercury’s entry into Rohini Nakshatra can prove challenging in many ways. Since Mercury rules ‘logic’ and Rohini rules ’emotions’, the conflict between intellect and mind is likely to intensify during this period. Let us know about those four zodiac signs who are advised to be especially careful.
1. Aries: Risks in speech and finance
For people born in Aries, this transit of Mercury will affect their second house (symbol of wealth and speech). Your words may be misinterpreted. At work or in the family, your comments may be perceived as harsh or bitter, which may spoil the smoothly running work. Hasty investments or excessive expenditure can spoil your financial budget. During this period, avoid lending money to anyone, because it may be difficult to get that money back.
2. Scorpio: Mistrust in relationships
This astronomical change will impact your seventh house (management of partnerships and marital life). Any small matter with your spouse can turn into a big dispute. Communication problems may lead to mutual suspicion about each other’s intentions. If you are in a business partnership, ensure complete transparency in all paperwork. Review any new contracts thoroughly before signing them; Otherwise, you may have to regret it later.
3. Sagittarius: Health and hidden enemies
For those born under the Sagittarius sign, Mercury will transit in the sixth house (which represents health problems and rivals), indicating a bit of caution. At work, your competitors may try to tarnish your reputation. Keep your strategies secret. Don’t trust anyone blindly. Minor health problems related to nerves or skin may arise. You may also experience insomnia (problem of not sleeping) due to mental stress.
4. Aquarius: Domestic tension and mental disturbance
This transit of planets will affect your fourth house (which represents comforts, mother and vehicles). The atmosphere at home may remain stressful. You may have to struggle more than usual even to get small comforts. There may be sudden and large expenses related to home repairs or electronic equipment. During this time, you may see ups and downs in your mother’s health; If they have any chronic disease, then do not be careless towards it at all.
