Planetary transits refer to movement of the planets from one position to another in space. Astrologically, the way in which these planets change their positions from one place to another may have an effect on one’s birth chart. 

According to Vedic astrology, mercury correlates with knowledge, intelligence, attitude, speech, and mind. If the position of Mercury is good in one’s birth chart, the person is expected to become intelligent and knowledgeable with a good attitude. He also becomes very strong and confident in his speech. The positive presence of Mercury in a person’s horoscope turns out to be very beneficial for him and his entire attitude reflects positivity.

The Zodiacs which are governed by Mercury are Gemini and Virgo. 
Mercury is said to be neutral in nature - the results totally depend on how it is placed in one’s horoscope. If it is placed with a planet with positive attributes (also known as a benefic planet) in a person’s birth chart, then the results for that person would turn out to be beneficial for that person. However, in case, it is placed with a planet having negative attributes (known as malefic), then that person may face certain issues during the said phase. If a person faces any issues during this time period, he is supposed to participate in certain rituals and prayers in order to pacify Mercury.
