Mercury in Rohini and the Timing of Ratha Yatra

It’s late May 2026, and the sky is quite active. Mercury is pushing through the end of Rohini, right as the Sun finishes its run in Krittika. I’ve been tracking these transits closely. When you look at the current positioning, you can really see why timing is everything in our tradition. We’re approaching some major shifts in the lunar calendar, and it’s that time of year where I get flooded with questions about the best windows for upcoming ceremonies. I’m already prepping for the Ratha Yatra season. It’s a massive event, and the alignment of the planets always adds a specific flavor to the festivities each year. If you’re trying to sync your own personal rituals with the local Panchang, don’t just guess. I always suggest checking the Choghadiya through VedKal to ensure you’re hitting those auspicious peaks. It saves so much headache when you actually respect the transit timings. Don't let the technical side overwhelm you. Just stay focused on the phase you're in, and keep your rituals simple. Are you planning anything special for the coming weeks? I’d love to hear how you’re balancing these heavy Saturn and Rahu influences.
