Mercury Transit 2024

Mercury's transit governs communication, contracts, trade, analysis and short journeys. Because it never strays far from the Sun, its sign changes often line up with shifts in how clearly plans, paperwork and conversations move forward.

Typical stay: about 2–3 weeks per sign in direct motion, though it can linger over two months across a retrograde loop.

What to watch: Watch for its retrograde windows (marked here), which traditionally call for double-checking documents, communications and travel plans rather than starting brand-new agreements. A direct Mercury moving through your 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th, 10th or 11th house from Moon usually supports clear thinking and good decisions.
