Mercury’s Transit in Aries (May 7, 2025)

On May 7, 2025, Mercury will transit into Aries. Previously, Mercury was transiting Pisces, which is considered its debilitated sign, and during that time, Mercury was under the influence of Rahu. Those significantly affected by Mercury or with a strong Mercury placement in their birth chart likely felt the adverse effects of its debilitation. However, now Mercury is moving out of debilitation and Rahu’s influence, and will begin to deliver more favorable results. Positive outcomes are expected from this transit. As Mercury governs communication, this transit in Aries will enhance people’s communication skills, making them dynamic and energetic.

Let’s explore how this transit will impact all zodiac signs

Aries

Mercury will transit in your first house. As the ruler of your third and sixth houses, Mercury is not considered entirely favorable for Aries. Those in sales, media, or marketing may have faced challenges, including misunderstandings with superiors. However, this transit brings relief. Those in communication, expression, or artistic fields are likely to benefit. You may receive support from friends, neighbors, and siblings. Since the ruler of the sixth house is transiting the ascendant, health issues or disputes with rivals may arise. However, your talents could bring you into the limelight. This is a particularly beneficial time for professionals in MNCs, media, banking, or data science. You’ll receive support from your business partner or spouse. Mercury’s aspect on the seventh house will strengthen both career and personal relationships.

Remedy: Regularly chant Mercury’s seed (Beej) mantra.
