Mars Transit in Aquarius

Aquarius belongs to Saturn, whom Mars counts neutral, and Mangala passes through in about thirty-eight days. The airy sign spreads the force across many hands, so effort works through groups.

Aquarius governs the calves and ankles, gains, friendship and shared causes. Mars here drives collective work and public argument, and income comes through effort made with others. Friction inside a group rises wherever the aims are left unstated.

The nakshatras are Dhanishta, Shatabhisha and Purva Bhadrapada. Dhanishta belongs to Mars, so the stay opens at full drive. Shatabhisha, under Rahu, suits medicine, research and work done alone, and Purva Bhadrapada, under Jupiter, closes with severity and hard resolve.

Classical gochara counts Mars well in the third, sixth and eleventh from the natal Moon, which here means Sagittarius, Virgo and Aries Moons. Aquarius Moons hold it in the first, where the ankles and sleep both suffer, and Taurus Moons carry it in the tenth and Leo Moons in the seventh.

Watch how you push inside a group during this stay. Stating the aim plainly at the start removes most of the friction.

Guard the ankles and stretch the calves.

• Recite Om Kram Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah on Tuesday.
• State the aim of any shared work in plain terms at the start.
• Take up solitary practice during Shatabhisha.
