Mercury is one of the fastest moving planets in Astrology. In Hindi, it is referred to as Budh. Wednesday is the day dedicated to Mercury.

The general traits of planet Mercury in Vedic Astrology – it rules your intelligence, wit & speech. Hence, it plays a very important role in your horoscope.

Mercury Retrograde in January 2023 – Impact on Sagittarius

Sagittarius is a zodiac sign ruled by Jupiter. Mercury will transit Sagittarius until 13th of January 2023. Here it will be accompanied by Sun.

The presence of Sun in Sagittarius is highly auspicious. It will give you a boost when it comes to speaking your mind, taking initiatives and being focused.

On the other hand, a retrograde and combust Mercury will cause you to be very impulsive. Let me give you a few examples. For instance, in matters related to work, you may not give proper thought before taking decisions.

In terms of friendships and love, your abrupt speech and rash decisions will harm your relationships. The damage will be long-term.

Third, commercially, your focus will be disoriented. Hence, you will miss out on many opportunities that come your way.

Mercury Retrograde in January 2023 – Impact on Gemini & Virgo

Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo zodiac signs. Gemini is known for it’s communication and diplomacy. It is a people-oriented sign. However, Geminis take the blame for being unreliable.

On the other hand, Virgos are focused, calculative and hard working. They are not as adaptable as Geminis. Hence, any frequent changes are uneasy for them to handle.

Mercury retrograde in January 2023 will be somewhat favorable to Virgos than Geminis.

At first, Gemini-ruled people will struggle with decision-making. There will be instances where you’ll find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard surface.

Secondly, love and sex life will be disappointing. A negative Neptune aspect will force you to seek out for something more. That is, your cravings for newness will arise.

Third, some outflows will take place. However, you will spend money on others rather than on you.

Contradictory to Geminis, Virgos will take the least hit of this Mercury phenomenon. A favorable aspect of Jupiter will allow you to keep your emotions in check.

It will also bring new opportunities and associations. Progress will be slow. However, you will still move ahead.

As a Virgo, you will also be inclined towards immoral pleasures. Leisure will also rule your mind. This is potentially the only negative aspect.
