Mangal (Mars) will transit Kumbha Rashi (Aquarius) from February 23, 2026 until April 02, 2026. For local timings download the align27 app.
Aquarius is an airy sign ruled by 2 Airy planets Shani (Saturn) and Rahu. The Samudra Manthan (churning of the oceans) is deeply connected to the sign Aquarius. Mangal will meet with Shukra (Venus) during this transit to help us change and transform for the better with skill and determination.
Mars is a bit uncomfortable in Aquarius after coming out of exaltation in the sign of Capricorn. The best way to deal with this energy is to think of the collective instead of being selfish. If the question “what is in it for me ?” Can be changed to “What can I do to make things better for everyone” – then this transit will be excellent. It will help you bring people together, work on a cause and bring happiness and joy to everyone around.
