The planet Mangal (Mars) is getting closer to Ketu (South Node) in the sign of Sagittarius. Both of these planets are extremely fiery in nature which can lead to anger,  violence, frustration, disappointments, haste, recklessness, impulsiveness, etc.

This is a unique combination that causes various psychological issues such as obsession, madness, etc if we do not handle this energy properly which could result in long term conflicts.
