Mercury - Venus Exchange (Nov 6 to Nov 22)
Venus is retrograde in Libra. On Nov 6, it moves back into Virgo, its debilitation sign.
Mercury is also retrograde in Libra, ruled by Venus.
A Parivartana in gochar.. Mercury in Venus sign & Venus in Mercury sign.
Interestingly, Virgo is Mercury own & exaltation sign, but the debilitation sign of Venus.
Venus turns direct on Nov 14 at around 28°38' Virgo, very close to its deepest debilitation degree of 27°.
Mercury turns direct on Nov 13, almost 8-9 hours before Venus. both turn direct while still sitting in each other signs.
And this exchange begins right on Dhanteras, continuing through Deepavali.
Because Venus is in exchange with Mercury, this debilitation is about correcting how money is handled.
Old payment disputes, stuck commissions.. business partnerships where terms were never properly settled can come back during this period.
Especially if Mercury or Venus is connected with your 2H, 7H or 11H, or their dasha - antardasha is running.
For those facing financial difficulties, stuck payments, or money that just does not stay in hand.. take a sankalpa before Maa Mahalakshmi from Nov 6 till Nov 22.
Light a ghee lamp after sunset (especially on the 3 Fridays - Nov 6, 13 & 20), apply a touch of pure chandan (sandalwood paste) to the lamp & offer a lotus or a fragrant white flower touched with sandalwood paste..
and include Sri Suktam in your daily puja if you know its recitation.
Its second Rik invokes Lakshmim Anapagaminim.. Lakshmi who does not depart.
If you do not know recitation of Sri Suktam, do Maa Mahalakshmi naam japa.
Keep your main financial worry in your sankalpa. Settle an old pending obligation if possible.. and where payment or partnership terms are unclear, put them in writing.
Jai Shri Lakshmi Narayana 🙏
