Mercury–Venus Conjunction: Every Meeting, 2026 to 2028
7 meetings · Capricorn, Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Cancer and Taurus
Between 2026 and 2028 the site’s DE421 table records seven conjunctions of Mercury and Venus — days on which the two share a sidereal longitude — in Capricorn, Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Cancer and Taurus. Successive meetings come 30 to 267 days apart.
Mercury and Venus count each other a friend. In four of the seven meetings the sign belongs to one of the pair itself (Libra, 7 October 2026, Gemini, 1 July 2027, Libra, 11 October 2027 and Taurus, 25 May 2028).

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 Mercury–Venus 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 Mercury and Venus in a birth chart, see the Mercury and Venus pages, and for how grahas are read together, astrology for beginners and what Vedic astrology is.
