March 2026
Venus moves into Pisces and joins Saturn in the
Watery sign of Pisces on 2 March 2026, while a
Full Moon occurs in the sign of Leo at 18°402 , in
the constellation of P.Phanguni (2nd pada). It will
be a day of Lunar eclipse. This eclipse will be
aspected by Mars from Aquarius. As Sun, Mars,
Retrograde Merccury will aspect Moon, it is high
period for volcanic eruption, violent shooting, fire
accidents, etc. Jupiter turns Direct on 12 March
2026. An exact conjunction of Mars and Rahu takes
place on 14 March 2026, occurring in the Navamsa
of Aquarius.
On 16 March 2026, Sun enters Pisces, joining Venus
and Saturn. The new Lunar month of Prabhava
Chaitra begins on 19 March 2026. Mercury turns
Direct on 22 March 2026.
On 25 March 2026, Sun comes into exact
conjunction with Saturn. In the Navamsa, Sun
becomes neecha (debilitated), while Saturn is
exalted. On 25 March 2026, Mercury and Rahu
form exact conjunction, also in the Aquarius
Navamsa. Venus moves into Aries on 27 March
2026.
April 2026
April begins with a Full Moon on 2 April 2026. Mars
moves into Pisces, joining Saturn and Sun. This
alignment may cause disturbances in the political
arena. Border tensions are likely to arise, and major
powers could become involved. Natural disasters
may also occur, as Pisces is a Watery and unstable
sign. There is a possibility of under-sea earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions.
Conjunction of Mars, Saturn, and Sun suggests a
challenging period for leadership, particularly in
democratic nations. Rebellions may emerge;
dominant rulers might exercise oppressive power,
and military involvement could resurface.
On 11 April 2026, Mercury becomes debilitated in
the sign of Pisces. The association of Mercury, Sun,
Mars, and Saturn may affect trade and business,
especially as Mercury exchanges houses with Jupiter
in Gemini. With at least five planets in mutable signs,
there could be geographical and geophysical
distortions.
The role of the CIA and other Intelligence agencies
may be enhanced. Political tension may raise
concerns over refugee camps, maritime issues, and
there is possibility of military exercises. Strained
relations between countries could escalate, and an
outbreak of a pandemic is not ruled out.
Sun moves into Aries, marking the new Solar year
of Prabhava. The lunar month of Prabhava Vaisaka
begins on 17 April 2026. Conjunction of Saturn
and Mars occurs on 20 April 2026, occupying the
Watery navamsa of Scorpio. This could lead to
heavy floods, high tides, typhoons, and tornadoes.
Countries like Russia, Germany, Korea, and parts
of Nepal may face natural calamities.
On 19 April 2026, Venus moves into its own sign of
Taurus. On 23 and 24 April, the planets form a 2/12
position alignment, creating a Grahamalika from
Aquarius to Leo. Finally, on 30 April 2026, Mercury
moves into Aries.
May 2026
The month begins with a Full Moon in the constellation
of Swati, (4th Pada). It is a blessed Full Moon, as
Jupiter's 5th aspect falls on the Moon from Gemini.
Jupiter, Rahu, and Moon will be in trine, occupying
Airy signs in a harmonious aspect. Jupiter's 9th
aspect also falls on Rahu. There will be an expansion
of digital influences, and diplomatic relations may
improve. With Moon in Libra, a more balanced
approach to international relations is likely. Mars will
move into sidereal Aries on 11th, joining Sun and
Mercury in Aries. A formal Kala Sarpayoga
planetary alignment will occur from 13th May. On
14 th , Venus will move into Gemini and join Jupiter.
On 15th, Mercury and Sun will jointly ingress into
Taurus. A beautiful planetary line-up will occur,
stretching from Pisces to Aries. The lunar month of
Prabhava Adhikha Jyeshtha will begin on 17th May.
On 25th May, the temporary Kala Sarpa Yoga will
come to an end. The monthly Full Moon will occur
in Scorpio on 31st May, in the constellation of
Anuradha, (4th Pada), and will be in Vargottama
Navamsa. Mercury will re-enter the sign of Gemini
on 29th May. The combination of Jupiter, Venus, and
Mercury is highly favourable for mutual settlement
of border disputes and communication with
neighbouring countries. Mass media and
communication will have the strongest influence on
public sentiment, especially in the form of
propaganda. Road and Railway projects are likely
to see grand inauguration, particularly involving new
types of electric trains. Germany, South Korea, the
United States, and the United Kingdom will be in
the global spotlight during this period.
June 2026
Jupiter will move into Cancer, where it becomes
exalted. Concurrently, a Kala Sarpa Yoga involving
planets from Aquarius to Leo axis will occur. On 9
June 2026, Venus will conjoin Jupiter in Cancer. The
second Amavasya (New Moon) of the lunar month
will take place in Taurus, on 15 June 2026, at 29°49'
in the second pada of Mrigasira. The previous lunar
month's New Moon occurred at 1°44' in the second
pada of the Kartika constellation. These astrological
alignments suggest a potential economic slowdown,
with economic policies possibly showing stagnation.
Food prices may rise, and supply chains could be
affected. Therefore, safe investment strategies should
be considered. On 16 June Sun will move into
Gemini. Mars will transit into Taurus on 21 June
2026. Mercury will join the exalted Jupiter and Venus
in Cancer, a chara (movable) bhava and a Watery
sign. This period is expected to bring main focus on
transportation; water resources will likely to be a
significant area of exploration. The film industry is
predicted to experience good progress, with notable
rewards for those in the entertainment field, including
musicians. The monthly Full Moon will occur on 30th
June, when Mercury turns Retrograde at 2:01p in
Pushya (4th Pada).
July 2026
On 5th July 2026, Venus will conjoin Ketu in the
royal sign of Leo. This astrological alignment may
lead to discord in married life or conflicts among
lovers; these effects being more pronounced in high
status circles, including the royal arena. Additionally,
Mars will aspect Leo from a Venus-ruled sign, further
intensifying the situation. As Leo is ruled by the Sun,
the aspect of Mars on Venus and Ketu suggests that
governments, whether democratic or monarchical,
may experience a decline in popularity or reputation.
This period could also bring about changes in
leadership, and create significant challenges for
female leaders. Given that Leo is a fiery sign, the
conjunction of Venus and Ketu also indicates
potential risks in air travel, and air disasters. On 7
July, Mercury moves back to Gemini in
retrogression. A Grahamalika from Aquarius to Leo
will happen during 9-10 of July. The lunar month of
Prabhava Ashada begins on 14th. On 17th, Sun
moves to Cancer and joins Jupiter. Saturn and Sun
Jupiter in trine occupies Watery signs. Mercury
becomes Direct on 25th. Saturn turns Retrograde
on 27 July, two days after Mercury become Direct.
A Full Moon falls on 29th.
August 2026
Venus enters Virgo on 1 August 2026. In this sign,
Venus becomes debilitated, and it comes under the
7th aspect of Saturn. The following day, Mars
moves into Gemini, casting its 4th aspect on Ve
nus. As a result, Venus becomes afflicted by ma
lefic influences. On 6 August 2026, Mercury moves
into Cancer, joining Jupiter and Sun. This combi
nation is considered favourable for diplomatic re
lations. Government reforms are expected, and
there may be a shift in educational approaches and
delivery systems, especially through the integration
of Artificial Intelligence. Since the 4th house is as
sociated with domestic happiness and transporta
tion, progress in these areas is likely, particularly in
water transportation. New pathways may become
popular, especially with the construction of chan
nels. The new Lunar month of Prabhava Sravana
will commence on 12 August 2026, which
may coincide with a Solar eclipse.
This will be an Annular solar eclipse, influenced by
Ketu in Leo. During this period, there may be a
downfall of prominent leaders, and the political land
scape could become unpredictable. Severe weather
changes are also expected. With Jupiter and Saturn
transiting Watery signs, coastal regions may face
heightened risks. On 17 August 2026, the Sun moves
into Leo and joins Ketu. Then, on 23 August 2026,
Mercury joins Sun and Ketu in Leo. Sensitive is
sues regarding the ruling government are likely to be
amplified by the media. Death of a senior political
figure is also possible during this time. A Full Moon
will occur on 28 August 2026, in the sign of Aquarius,
within the constellation of Satabhisha (2nd Pada).
This day will also mark a Lunar Eclipse. Mars will
occupy Gemini, while Rahu and Moon will be posi
tioned in Aquarius. These planetary alignments sug
gest that climatic conditions may be hazardous for
air travel. There is a potential risk of tornadoes, ty
phoons, and other severe weather events, which
may impact transportation and flight safety.
September 2026
Venus will transit in to the sign of Libra on 2 Sept.,
followed by Mercury moving to the exaltation point
in Virgo. It will receive the 7th aspect of Saturn. Ve
nus will trine Mars in Gemini. The Airy signs of Gemini
and Libra will be occupied by Mars and Venus re
spectively, and Rahu in Aquarius. Air transportation
will have increased atmospheric instability, devasta
tion by tornadoes, thyphoons. New Lunar month of
Prabhava Badradapada will begin on 11th. Mars in
Gemini, squaring Mercury in Virgo and Saturn in Pi
sces, i.e. three unstable signs will be occupied by these
planets and Sun joining Ketu may potentially initiate
attacks, similar to 11 Sept. 2001, air travel disrup
tions and weather anomalies (especially with Mars
in Gemini + Lunar Eclipse), increased flooding risks
or water-related structural issues (Saturn in Pisces).
Also there can be data leaks, or misinformation chal
lenges (Mercury-Mars influence across Virgo
Gemini), Policy changes in healthcare, environmen
tal management and digital infrastructure, since these
are mutable signs.
On 17 September Sun will move into Virgo, joining
exalted Mercury. This conjunction will be aspected
by Saturn from Pisces and Mars from Gemini. As a
result, political instability may manifest in some coun
tries, particularly in large democratic nations and
monarch-ruled states.
On 19 September 2026, Mars will move into Can
cer, its sign of debilitation, and join the exalted Jupi
ter. During this period, the superior planets (Mars,
Jupiter, and Saturn) will be occupying Watery signs,
indicating that the emotional and environmental at
mosphere may be strongly influenced. This align
ment could lead to climatic disturbances, such as
heavy rainfall, floods, or ocean-related anomalies.
Overflow of Dams, sea level rising and coastal dan
gers are noted. A Full Moon will fall on 26th, as
Mercury transits Libra.
October 2026
The month of October will see Venus going retro
grade on 4th, at 14°152 in the constellation of Swati,
(3rd pada), in the Navamsa of Aquarius. Venus also
retrograded in Libra eight years ago, on 7 Oct.
2018. This marks the return of the Pentagon effect.
Both Venus and Saturn will be retrograde during this
period. The new Lunar month of Prabhava
Aswayuja begins on 10th. On 17th, Sun moves into
its debilitation sign (Neecha) and joins retrograde
Venus and Mercury. This alignment may trigger sen
sitive issues related to illicit relationships, marital dis
cord, and transport emergencies, such as train acci
dents and derailments. Public scandal are not ruled
out. Mercury turning retrograde on 14th, Newspa
pers, social media will overblow issues including
public funds, leak of information etc. End of Octo
ber will witness three planets in retrogression, call
ing for some action regarding spread of disease,
women-safety, litigation and military expenditure.
The monthly Full Moon will fall on 26th. End of
October will witness Jupiter moving in to the royal
sign of Leo.
November 2026
In the early days of November, Jupiter will be in
conjunction with Ketu, at 1:17° in Leo, within the
constellation of Makha, (1st Pada), in the Navamsa
of Aries, marking a spiritually significant event. This
auspicious alignment becomes even more potent,
when Mars joins the conjunction. During this time,
Venus will retrograde into Virgo. The new Lunar
month of Prabhava Kartika will begin on 9 Novem
ber 2026.
On 13 November, Jupiter, Mars, and Ketu will all
be positioned in Leo. This rare and powerful com
bination indicates auspicious events such as taking
of oaths for new leadership, major spiritual occur
rences, and prominence of royalty and monarchs in
public attention. However, Ketu's influence on Mars
may also bring volatile energy. It could manifest in
fiery ceremonies, high-risk fire accidents, forest fires,
towering infernos, volcanic eruptions, dry spells, and
noticeable climatic changes.
On 14 November, both Mercury and Venus will turn
Direct after their retrograde motion. Sun will enter
Scorpio on 17 November, creating a Parivartana
Yoga (mutual exchange) between Mars in Leo and
Sun in Scorpio, a fiery and watery signs exchange
holding transformative energy.Venus will move di
rectly into Libra on 23 November. The month of
November also features a retrograde Parivartana
Yoga between Venus and Mercury beginning on 6
November, and transitioning into a direct Parivartana
from 14 November to 22 November. When Venus
moves into Libra on 23 November, and Mercury
joins it in its own sign (swasthana), it will bring sig
nificant benefits to those in the entertainment indus
try, especially celebrities in cinema, music, and the
performing arts. Tourism will flourish; culture and
arts promotion will be profitable. Venus and Mer
cury in moveable signs signify transport, air travel
and luxuries. A Full Moon will fall on 24th in the sign
of Taurus. Rahu and Ketu moves to Cancer and
Capricorn axis on 26th.
December 2026
Mercury moves into Scorpio on 3rd December, join
ing Sun. The new Lunar month of Parabhava
Margasirsha begins on 9th December 2026. On 14th
December, Jupiter in Leo turns Retrograde at 2°472.
This may signal a period, when the public will de
mand more genuine governance, free from corrup
tion. Since Jupiter represents government, finance,
and institutions, these sectors may face harsh criti
cism and be subjected to stricter policies. Saturn
becomes direct in Pisces on 12th December. Sun
moves into Sagittarius on 17th December, where it
receives the 5th aspect from retrograde Jupiter in
Leo. A strong parivartana yoga occurs between Ju
piter and the Sun, which will be auspicious for ma
jor nations such as India, the United States, and
countries ruled by monarchs. On 23rd December
2026, Mercury moves into Sagittarius and joins the
Sun, forming Budha-aditya Yoga. This is a favor
able time for summits, conflict resolution, and com
munity worship. However, with fiery signs occu
pied by the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter, accidents
related to fire may increase. As Sagittarius becomes
a war-sign under these influences, there will also be
a tendency for ideological alliances and an empha
sis on military power as a major weapon. A Full
Moon will occur on 24th December 2026 in the
constellation of Arudra (1st pada). Thus, Christmas
2026 will fall under the constellation of Arudra, co
inciding with the sacred Arudra Darshan of Lord
Natraja of Lunar month of Margasirsha, beginning
at midnight on Christmas Day.
Multiple planets in Ubhaya Rasi (Mixed signs) in January 2026
All superior planets in mixed signs form a rare phe
nomenon in transit. These signs are unstable; they
are not firm, but subject to transformation. Jupiter's
mutual aspect on Sagittarius may support more pro
gressive elements, pertaining to religious beliefs,
allowing the fundamentals of religion to be re-es
tablished. A major global impact on religious thought
may emerge, and the Ram temple may become an
important propagative tool.
Since Sagittarius is a war sign, the presence of Mars,
Sun, Venus, and Mercury in the first week of Janu
ary 2026 may provoke th rival camps in global geo
politics. Saturn's aspect from a watery sign, together
with its 10th aspect on Sagittarius, may cause cli
matic instability, affecting the elements of fire, water,
and air (Gemini, Sagittarius, and Pisces). This may
fragment the overall stability of the global climate.
This configuration of planets will be in Capricorn
around 17th.
Change of Zodiac Signs: Jupiter; Rahu/Ketu Axis
In the year 2026, Jupiter will change its Zodiac sign
from Gemini to Cancer on 2nd June 2026. Jupiter
will travel in Atichara (accelerated motion) and move
to Leo on 31 Oct. 2026. This rapid movement of
Jupiter within five months is very significant . During
this period, Jupiter's influence may be less fruitful
and more unstable.
Rahu and Ketu Axis will change on 27 November
2026. Rahu in Capricorn and Ketu in Cancer axis.
Rahu or Ketu in the sign of Cancer is known to be
auspicious.
Great Grahamalika of 2026 (25 April 2026)
On 25th, the planets will be positioned in a Grahamallika
from Aquarius to Leo, due to the presence of the Moon
also within it. Prior to this, the Grahamallika will occur
from Aquarius to Gemini, engulfed by Rahu and Ketu,
forming a Kala Sarpa Dosha. During this period, Sat
urn and Mars are in close conjunction in Pisces and
12th from the transit of radical Sun. This may cause
conflict among countries' leadership crisis, hatred and
internal turmoil. natural disasters, epidemics, or tech
nological blackouts. Another set of could periodical
Graha Malika and Kala sarpa will re-occur during sec
ond and third week of May. It will also appear from 6
June to 14 June.
Mars, Jupiter (Cancer) and Saturn (Pisces) in Watery signs 18 Sept. to 30 Oct.
During a six-week period, all superior planets-
Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn-occupy watery signs,
with Mars in debilitation in Cancer, Jupiter exalted
in Cancer, and Saturn in the dual sign of Pisces. This
significant transit suggests heightened risks of natu
ral calamities, such as floods, cyclones, and land
slides, particularly in countries like India, the United
States, Japan, Iran, and Egypt, which are astrologi
cally linked to these signs. Mars in Cancer, posi
tioned in Chara Bhava alongside Jupiter, may inten
sify challenges related to land and real estate, po
tentially shifting economic focus toward these sec
tors. Saturn's restrictive influence in Pisces could
contribute to seismic activity or water-borne dis
eases in vulnerable regions. However, Jupiter's ex
alted position in Cancer, coupled with its harmoni
ous aspect on Saturn, may foster growth in agricul
ture, technological advancements in related fields,
and national unity. Coastal regions and water-re
lated areas may face increased attention, due to these
planetary dynamics.
Venus, Saturn, Mercury retrogression: 25 Oct. to 14 Nov.
Venus retrogression begins on 4th Oct., during which
Saturn is already in retrogression at 17°07° Revati,
(1st pada). Venus starts its retrogression at 14:15°
in the constellation of Swati (3rd pada). On 25 Oct.,
Mercury will also begin retrogression at 26°43° in
Libra. At this point, three planets will be in retro
gression. Mars, positioned in Cancer, will cast its
4th aspect on the Sun.
Venus and Mercury in the Airy sign of Libra suggest
that diplomatic relations will need to be handled with
caution, as tensions may rise. Sun is debilitated,
though partially relieved by Neecha Bhanga from
Venus; since Venus itself is retrograde, the effect
may not be stable. Mars' aspect on Chara Bhava
indicates that matters could escalate beyond con
trol, particularly in the sphere of diplomacy.
Climatic conditions may also worsen during this time,
with heightened risks of typhoons and tornadoes
causing damage along coastal regions. Saturn ret
rograde in a dual sign, along with Mars and Jupiter
influencing Chara Bhava, and Mercury-Venus ret
rograde in Chara Bhava, may increase the likelihood
of Airport runway accidents and railway mishaps.
In the social sphere, marriage issues among celebri
ties are likely to be highlighted, as Mercury retro
grade tends to bring communication breakdowns.
When Mercury and Venus, both are retrograde, the
world often faces amplified disruption and a com
pelling need to re-evaluate matters of communication, diplomacy, and finance.
Two Amavasyas in Solar Month of Taurus: Adhika Masa (15 May - 15 June)
The Solar Rishaba month will have two
Amavasyas- one on 17 May Sun 1:44°) and an
other on 15 June (Sun 29:46°). This will occur with
Sun in Taurus. It is inauspicious for marriage, house
warming, buying property and all new ventures.
Eclipses in 2026
There will be four eclipses in the year 2026: two solar
eclipses and two lunar eclipses.
17 Feb. 2026 Solar Eclipse (Not visible in India)
The upcoming Annular Solar eclipse occurs at 04°362
Aquarius in Dhanishta (4th Pada), within the first
Drekkana of Aquarius, and in the Scorpio Navamsa.
The ring of fire will be visible from Antarctica, with par
tial visibility in southern South America and Africa. Airy
sign and watery Navamsa denote risks for air travel,
heavy rains, floods, coastal dangers, and pressure on
dams. First Drekkana foretells initial turbulence and
challenges in governance, environment, and security.
Results of Jupiter's 9th aspect on Eclipse sign, some
crises will ease, yet geopolitical tensions among China,
Russia, USA, and India may intensify. Women leaders
play a key role in conflict resolution and global affairs.
Dhanishta ruled by Ashta Vasus highlights elemental dis
turbances (air, water, fire, earth), suggesting significant
geopolitical and environmental impacts worldwide.
Total Lunar Eclipse: 3 March 2026 (Not visible in India)
This Total Lunar eclipse will occur in the sign of Leo, in
the constellation Purva Phalguni (2nd pada), at 18°40°.
It will be a Ketu Grahasta Chandra Grahana, aspected
by Mars, Mercury, and Sun from Aquarius. The eclipse
takes place in the second drekkana of Leo. In the
Navamsa, the Moon is associated with Saturn, which
may create fear, doubt, and melancholy among people.
This configuration is likely to bring disturbances to rulers, administrators, and military chiefs, and may also
trigger political conflicts. Astronomically, this is a Full
Lunar eclipse. According to Wikipedia, it will be com
pletely visible over Northeast Asia, Northwestern North
America, and the central Pacific Ocean, while it will be
seen rising over much of Asia and Australia and setting
over North and South America.
From a traditional perspective, This eclipse falls in the
2nd decanate of Leo. According to Alan Leo, this indi
cates a "journey to the king." Brihat Jataka describes
this drekkana as "armed, with a tendency to fight."
It suggests the rise of a powerful leader, a figure of
incomparable leadership, who may influence global
affairs. The constellation Purva Phalguni is ruled by
Venus. This brings emphasis on marital happiness as
well as marital discord, depending on individual and
collective conditions. Since the eclipse occurs in a Fi
ery sign (Leo), it may intensify passions, conflicts, and
struggles for authority. In mundane astrology, Leo rep
resents the 5th house of the Natural Zodiac. A Lunar
eclipse in this house can affect areas related to specu
lation, stock markets, sports, children, and education.
Thus, the period may bring instability in financial specu
lation, failures in stock markets, and turbulence in en
tertainment and cultural sectors.
August 12 - Total Solar Eclipse (Not visible in India)
A Total Solar eclipse will occur on August 12, with
the path of totality crossing the Arctic, Greenland,
Iceland, northern Spain, and northeastern Portugal.
Partial visibility will span much of Europe, North
America, and North Africa (Source: Datetime.com).
There may be financial instability, as wealthy indi
viduals may seek to gain extra wealth through un
conventional or unethical means. Scandals, financial
manipulation, and corruption are possible, as snakes
are symbolic of hidden, deceptive forces that oper
ate behind the scenes and evade the law. The cli
mate may become increasingly unpredictable and
severe. United state, South Korea, New Zealand
and Canada may be affected.
28 August 2026 Lunar eclipse (Partial Lunar
Eclipse) (Not visible in India)
This eclipse is invisible to residents of North and
South America, as well as parts of Europe and Af
rica. This eclipse could indicate issues related to
refugees or displacement due to natural disasters.
The eclipse may also affect farmers and coal mine
workers. The symbolism of burnt vehicles could
point to significant accidents or injuries in airy do
mains, such as air crashes, tornadoes, or typhoons.
Transit of Superior Planets
Saturn's Transit in 2026
Saturn entered 01°56' in the constellation of
Purvabhadra (4th Pada) at the beginning of its transit in
Pisces. Saturn will form an exact conjunction with other
planets on 26 March 2026.
During the second week of March 2026, Venus, Sat
urn, and the Sun will conjoin in Pisces, marking a sig
nificant astrological event. In April 2026, Mars will also
join the Sun and Saturn, resulting in the presence of
three malefic planets in Pisces simultaneously.
The exact triple conjunction is set to occur on 20 April
2026 at 13° in Pisces, in the Navamsa of Scorpio.
Since both the Rasi (Pisces) and Navamsa (Scorpio)
are Watery signs, this alignment carries serious implications.
This period is likely to trigger geopolitical tensions, with
old disputes resurfacing. There may be an increased
risk of naval accidents, coastal threats, and a heightened fear of tsunamis. Additionally, climatic disturbances
could pose a threat to human life and global stability.
On 27 July 2026, Saturn will Retrograde in Pisces at
20°31' .
The detailed transit of Saturn through Nakshatras in 2026 is as follows:
- From 20 January 2026 to 16 May 2026, Saturn will be in the constellation of Uttara Bhadrapada.
- From 16 May 2026 to 10 October 2026, it will move into Revati.
- Saturn will turn Direct on 11 December 2026, and by the end of the year, it will remain Direct at 14°03' in Uttara Bhadrapada.
Jupiter's Transit in 2026
Jupiter begins its journey at 27°09' in Gemini at the
start of the year 2026, positioned in its own con
stellation, Punarvasu (3rd Pada). As the year com
mences, Jupiter aspects the Sun, Mars, Venus, and
Mercury, all positioned in Sagittarius. This alignment
favours peace-talks, effective communication, cul
tural development, and the establishment of law and
order. Diplomatic relations and international alliances
are likely to take center stage during this period.
Jupiter becomes Direct on 12 March 2026 at 20°51'
in the constellation of Punarvasu (1st Pada).
Throughout its transit in Gemini during 2026, Jupi
ter predominantly remains within the Punarvasu con
stellation. On 2nd June, Jupiter moves to Cancer,
and on 31st October 2026 moves to Simha.
The detailed movement of Jupiter through the Nakshatras in 2026 is as follows:
- Punarvasu - 3rd and 4th Padas
- Pushya - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Padas
- Aslesha - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Padas
- Makha - 1st Pada
By 31 December 2026, Jupiter in retrogression will
be positioned at 02°14' in the constellation of Makha
(1st Pada). Jupiter crosses Cancer in just 152 days
in Atichara.
This means Jupiter will have transited through more
than 2½ Nakshatras in the Jovian year. Accord
ing to the ancient text Brihat Samhita, such move
ment is considered inauspicious for Agriculture, and
may result in large-scale crop destruction.
Transit of Mars in 2026
Mars begins its journey at 20° in Sagittarius. It en
ters Aquarius on 23 February 2026, and becomes
associated with Rahu in this Airy sign. Jupiter as
pects Mars during this period, and Mars is also as
sociated with multiple planets in the early part of its
transit. Sun, Venus, and Mercury join Mars, and
the conjunction of Mars and Sun (both dry and fiery
planets) continues until May. This prolonged fiery
combination may result in excessive heat, sudden
bursts of volcanic activity, and potential political
conflicts.
Around 7 February 2026, a Solar eclipse will occur
in Aquarius. This period is likely to be crucial and
marked by chaos, natural disasters, shootings, in
fernos, forest fires, and even plane crashes.
On 19 April 2026, the Mars-Saturn conjunction will
take place in the Watery sign of Pisces, alongside Mercury. This alignment suggests possible military
exercises involving warships, and there is an in
creased risk of earthquakes in ocean-beds and other
water-related disturbances. Since Pisces corre
sponds to the 12th house in the Zodiac, this con
junction may bring severe damage and loss. It also
points to the possibility of cyber warfare, secret ex
peditions, and challenges related to deep-water ex
ploration.
The conjunction between Mars and Jupiter will oc
cur on 15 November 2026, as it crosses the border
between Cancer and Leo at 1°152 in the constella
tion of Makha. The sign of Leo may bring positive
changes in democratic countries related to adminis
tration. Nations like India, Malaysia, Japan, America,
Britain, and Thailand are likely to experience signifi
cant milestones around this period. Mars-Jupiter
conjunction in Leo sparks bold leadership, dynamic
politics, cultural growth, economic expansion, and
heightened military and social activity.
At the close of 2026, Mars will be positioned at
15° Leo, in the constellation of Purva Phalguni.
