Mercury goes combust about 3-4 times a year and for about 20 days at a time. Mercury is considered combust when he is within 14 degrees of the Sun. Now, he will be combust from – 15 May – 8 Jun 2025. He is moving very fast and in this time he will be transiting in Aries, Taurus and Gemini signs. And combust Mercury in transit affects everyone on this earth. (YouTube video link here)
In this current times, the wars around the world are going on and the new front between Pakistan and India has come out in the open. India has shown its military capability and for now the rest of the world including the ‘west’ is silent. The real enemy is as always China, Pakistan is just a proxy. They never expected the ‘peaceful’ Indians to be so aggressive and capable. But now as Mercury goes combust, I am expecting hot-heads from the enemy nations to do some essentially stupid thing against Bharat. And this will lead to more issues. At the local level the war has come out in the open and will not stop until Pakistan splits. On the global level, the war against Bharat will continue until the financial system re-sets and the illegal and highly unfair system of arbitary exchange rates is stopped. This legalised loot has to stop, and I hope that Bharat, Russia, African nations, the South American nations, the SE Asian nations etc the ‘Global South’ soon gets together puts an end to this.
Back to Mercury combust. During this time, your mind and the mental-processes are going to work in a very selfish manner. Your ability to think clearly and communicate effectively will be reduced. The natural analytical capabilities of your mind will become clouded. And this brain fatigue will affect your everyday decision-making. You may day dream, think of random thoughts or may find it difficult to focus on single tasks in this time. This mental restlessness can later lead to anxiety or insomnia. And if you do not give your mental processes enough rest, they will become even more stressed out.
So when Mercury goes combust, you need to exercise your mind in a systematic manner. The easiest way is to solve puzzles, or write something or read something new. This regular mental exercise will help you expand your perspectives and also keep your mind productive. You have to activate Mercury’s positive attributes so think of good thoughts, do your mantra and stick to a routine. In this time he is the closest to the Sun, so you can use the divine genius of the Sun to come up with some brilliant ideas, so give yourself some time to think.
Also you have to avoid drugs which overstimulate your mind, do not use bad words or swear or argue unnecessarily. On the energy level you can try healing your Vishuddhi chakra at your throat for 2 mins before you go to bed.
Combustion is a weird mix of self-entitlement and selfishness but it also charges the keywords of the combust planet with the genius and divine creativity of the Sun. So it important to understand what is happening and then to manage this energy. Learn to use the combust planets to reduce the negatives and increase the positives.
The remedies for the planets are as always Mantra and Daana but these work faster if you understand the intention powering these actions. The planets are not something separate from you, they are a reflection of your own self. So when you heal them you are actually healing yourself.
