Combust Mercury Transit – Truth, Thought & Transformation
Introduction: When Mercury Enters the Fire of Truth
From 29 December 2025, Mercury (Budh) transits into Sagittarius (Dhanu Rashi), beginning its journey in Moola Nakshatra, followed by Purva Ashada on 7 January 2026, and Uttara Ashada on 16 January 2026.
Throughout this transit, Mercury remains combust, intensifying internal thinking while reducing external clarity.
This is a karmic transit that challenges belief systems, communication patterns, decisions, and truth-telling. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, seeks wisdom and purpose, while combust Mercury tests how consciously we think, speak, and decide.
