In this article, I wanted to briefly mention the Mercury Cazimi that occurred on January 21st.
Kazimi is a special type of conjunction that only occurs when a visible planet joins the Sun. Kazimi’s planet has special power and influence.
Symbolically speaking, it is as if the planet Kazimi is at the center of the sun, as if the planet joins the sun in its sacred sanctuary.
One way you can think of Planet Kazimi is that it communicates with a source of divine wisdom.
Rising mercury: logical thinking
Since that planet is Mercury, you may find that your mind becomes brighter with insight and clarity, or that you gain new awareness or understanding about current issues.
An idea or interest may take shape, or an important “aha!” moment may occur. for a moment.
Like an inner light bulb going off, Mercury Kazimi helps you organize your thoughts and make your communications more concrete. This could also help with breakthroughs in future technology, networking, or logistics coordination.
Mercury Kazimi in 2026
Due to its high speed and proximity to the Sun, Mercury is more cazimi than any other planet (except the Moon!).
In fact, in 2026, Mercury will be cazimi six times. Three times it goes retrograde and three times it goes forward.
Of the six Mercury cazimi events in 2026, the best one appears to be on August 27th, when Mercury goes direct and cazimies the Sun while in Virgo (4 Virgo). This will be an incisive and grounded version of Mercury Kazimi, promising practical solutions and potentially helping you solve your problems.
Help of Virgo and its houses in your chart
Since it takes place in Virgo, it may help and strengthen the Virgo house topic. This part of your chart and life has hosted the South Node for 18 months (January 2025 to July 2026), so this helps activate new stability and lasting potential on the topic of the Virgo house.
Tell us what came to your mind this week under Mercury Kajimi.
