Mushti Mudra
The planet Mangal (Mars) is getting closer to Ketu (South node). Both of these planets are extremely fiery in nature which can lead to anger, violence, frustration, disappointments, haste, recklessness, impulsiveness etc.
Tuesday is ruled by Mars, so the effect of this combination is felt more on Tuesdays. Additionally, Ketu and Mars will transit over the eclipse degree which means it can lead to series of events that are aimed to help us release the negativity, toxin and stress that we have been holding onto unconsciously.
It is important to understand this energy so we could be more aware and transform our emotional response.
