Mars–Mercury Conjunction: Every Meeting, 2026 to 2028
8 meetings · Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and Taurus
Between 2026 and 2028 the site’s DE421 table records eight conjunctions of Mars and Mercury — days on which the two share a sidereal longitude — in Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and Taurus. Successive meetings come 4 to 628 days apart.
Mars counts Mercury an enemy, while Mercury counts Mars neutral: for Mars–Mercury the table is not symmetric. None of the eight meetings falls in a sign either of them rules.

The dignity columns are each graha’s standing in the sign of the meeting, as the planet-in-sign pages give it; the nakshatra is the one the shared longitude falls in. “Retrograde” marks a meeting inside one of the graha’s retrograde windows. For Mars–Mercury every date is a day, not a time: the table does carry a minute, but the site publishes a conjunction to the day, the resolution independent tables agree on.
A conjunction in the sky touches every chart at once, in whichever house that sign falls for it; it is not a reading of anyone’s chart. For Mars and Mercury in a birth chart, see the Mars and Mercury pages, and for how grahas are read together, astrology for beginners and what Vedic astrology is.
