A Deep Vedic Astrology Guide to Its General and Zodiac-Wise Impact

When Mercury retraces its steps, the cosmos quietly invites us to rethink, realign, and rebalance our thoughts. From 24th November, Mercury moves back into Libra in Vishakha Nakshatra, continuing its retrograde and combust journey. On 26th November, Mercury rises from combustion but remains retrograde, and finally stations direct on 30th November. Mercury stays in Libra until 6th December, after which it returns to Scorpio.

This transit is a crucial phase for mental clarity, communication patterns, decision-making, relationships, business negotiations, finances, and all forms of intellectual expression.

General Impact of Mercury’s Backward Journey into Libra

1. Rebalancing Thoughts and Decisions

Libra represents harmony, fairness, and balanced choices. When Mercury enters Libra in retrograde motion, the collective mind slows down, encouraging deep evaluation of past decisions. Many may revisit old conversations, pending paperwork, or incomplete agreements.

2. Rising from Combustion: A Turning Point (26 November)

Until 26 November, Mercury’s combust state may cause communication gaps, misunderstandings, delayed information flow, and mental exhaustion. Once Mercury rises, clarity begins to return, though retrograde effects remain.

3. Direct Motion: Fresh Energy (30 November)

When Mercury turns direct, clarity, confidence, and mental sharpness return. New opportunities open up. The period between 30 November–6 December becomes excellent for signing contracts, initiating new communication-based ventures, and resolving misunderstandings.

4. Libra Influence: Focus on Partnerships

Libra governs:

• Marriage and relationships
• Agreements and negotiations
• Legal matters and settlements
• Artistic expression
• Diplomacy and fairness

This transit encourages reassessing how we communicate in relationships, how we negotiate, and how we maintain emotional equilibrium.

5. Nakshatra Influence

Vishakha Nakshatra (24–29 November)

• Encourages determination, long-term planning, and goal-oriented thinking.
• Past goals resurface; delayed conversations return.
• Some individuals may feel indecisive or torn between two choices.

Swati & Chitra influence (as Mercury moves inside Libra)

• Enhances creativity, design, writing, business planning.
• Encourages flexibility, learning, and intellectual independence.
