for Aries Ascendant
This transit is very important for Aries ascendant natives.
From 16th January, Mars will transit through Capricorn, your 10th house, and this is where Mars becomes exalted.
More importantly, Mars is your Lagnesh, your ascendant lord.
When the ascendant lord becomes exalted in the strongest Kendra of the horoscope, the results are never small.
The 10th house is the most powerful house in the chart. It represents your career, status, authority, public image, and even your father’s income and standing.
It shows the identity you carry in the outside world.
Mars sitting here in exaltation tells one thing very clearly: this period will redefine how the world sees you.

Career, Authority & Major Decisions
Mars in the 10th house becomes directionally strong (Digbali). From here, Mars directly aspects your Ascendant, strengthening your personality, confidence, courage, energy, focus, and decision-making ability.
During this transit, Mars will not be alone. Sun, Venus, and Mercury will also be present with Mars. All these planets are supportive for career growth, visibility, and recognition.
This is the phase where:
- You may finally take decisions you were postponing for a long time
- You may start a business
- You may actively push for promotion
- You may prepare for or appear in competitive exams
- New achievements will start coming your way
Mars in the 10th house forces action. You will not be able to sit quietly or delay things. If you manage a team, you will become more strict and demanding.
Your expectations will rise. People will naturally start respecting you, even if they feel pressured by you.
If you were feeling that your talent was being ignored at work, this complaint will start dissolving during this transit.
Yes, the initial days may bring some friction or adjustment issues, but gradually you will take full control of the situation.
Emotions, Inner Peace, Finances, and Family
Mars will aspect your 4th house, which represents inner peace, emotional stability, home, and property. Mars will also cast its special aspect on the 5th house, which governs emotions and mental reactions.
Because of this, the first few days can feel unsettling. Emotionally, you may become volatile and reactive.
Small things can irritate you. You may feel restless from inside.
But remember this: Mars is your Lagnesh.
Its job is to protect your identity, dignity, and self-respect. When handled well, Mars can bring honour, authority, and recognition.
If your running Mahadasha supports it, this transit can give:
- Promotion
- Financial gains
- A stronger professional position
Mars is also the significator of real estate, and from the 10th house it aspects your 4th house.
If:
- Your house or shop is vacant
- A property deal was stuck
- A real estate transaction was delayed
This period can finally bring success in those matters.
This transit can activate Raj Yoga and Dhan Yoga in your chart. By the time this transit ends, you will notice a new confidence and a stronger sense of identity within yourself.
Bigger Picture: 2026 Career Turning Point
In June, Jupiter will also transit in exaltation. That tells us something very important.
2026 is showing a major career event for Aries ascendant natives.
And the foundation for that big event will be laid during this Mars transit in January–February.
Mars will not let you slow down. Wherever Saturn is creating restrictions or delays, Mars will push back.
Your finest Aries qualities initiative, courage, leadership, tactical handling of enemies will come out strongly during this period.
Cautions: Ego, Anger, and Relationships
Now, let’s talk honestly about the negative side.
The biggest risk during this transit is ego.
Your ego can increase sharply. If Mars is afflicted in your birth chart, anger issues can surface. You may become too blunt. You may speak without thinking and ignore other people’s feelings.
This will directly impact:
- Personal relationships
- Marriage
- Family harmony
You may try to dominate others, especially your spouse, mother, or children. Mars does not naturally give soft results in relationship matters. It makes you rigid, unforgiving, and authoritative.
Also, since the 10th house is Maraka for father, some health concerns for the father can arise, especially if the Sun is weak or afflicted in the birth chart.
Health and Social Life
Physically, this transit is strong and positive.
You may feel drawn towards:
- Bodybuilding
- Outdoor activities
- Physical discipline
Your body will become leaner. Weight can reduce. Recovery power and immunity will improve.
Socially, Mars will make you popular and noticeable. People will acknowledge your presence.
However, mental health needs attention. Mars can increase volatility. Those already prone to anxiety may feel slightly more anxious during this phase. Emotional regulation is important.
Remedy
To balance emotions during this transit, a simple and effective remedy is:
Drink water from a silver glass daily.
Silver helps cool down emotional volatility and brings balance. This will protect you from unnecessary conflicts and emotional reactions.
For Taurus Ascendant
For Taurus ascendant natives, this Mars transit is quietly powerful.
Mars becomes exalted in Capricorn and activates your 9th house. This is the house of luck, des tiny, higher guidance, long-distance travel, father, mentors, and belief systems. When an exalted Mars operates from here, it doesn’t create noise. It creates direction.
Mental Strength, Courage, and Financial Momentum
Mars is also casting its aspect on your 12th house. This is important.
The 12th house represents subconscious fears, hesitation, and self-doubt. Mars’ influence here will break internal resistance.
If you were afraid to start a big professional move, this transit will give you the drive and courage to move forward.
Financially, this is a good phase for investments. Your expenses will be purposeful, not wasteful. In business, new profit opportunities can emerge, especially through expansion, planning, or long-term strategies.
Around 31st January, when Mercury joins this transit, there can be ideological differences with seniors or mentors. Communication gaps may arise.
But there is no need to panic. These situations will teach you something valuable and will eventually turn in your favor.
Travel, Learning, and Expansion
Mars and Venus coming together in the 9th house strongly indicate long-distance travel.
This travel can be:
- Work-related
- Education-related
- Or to meet your partner
Some of you may travel to places connected with learning, spirituality, or growth. The travel may look casual on the surface, but it will play a meaningful role in your long-term path.
Marital Life and Partner’s Fortune
The biggest beneficiary of this transit is your spouse.
This period shows strong chances of:
- Career growth for your partner
- Promotion
- Financial gains
If there has been tension between you and your spouse related to money or communication in the past few months, this is the time where you will resolve it strategically, not emotionally.
For unmarried Taurus ascendants, the first week of February is very important. Marriage proposals can come, or you may meet someone who has long-term potential.
Your spouse’s health will also improve, and their confidence level will rise noticeably.
Physical Changes and Social Popularity
This is a very favorable time for spiritual or pilgrimage travel. Mountains, temples, or coastal regions are especially indicated.
Physically, you will start paying more attention to your appearance. Many of you may begin a new fitness routine, and the results will be visible quickly. Your body will respond well to discipline during this transit.
You will also become more result-oriented. Because of rising ambitions, occasional anxiousness is possible, but it won’t derail you.
Socially, your popularity will increase. You may come in contact with influential people who can promote your talent, support your ideas, or even invest in your plans.
Government Benefits, Authority, and Final Outcome
If you work with:
- Government contracts
- Authorities
- Senior officials
This period will be very supportive. Your profit margins can improve, and decision-making will become sharp and accurate.
You will handle challenges using both intelligence and courage. Problems that earlier felt overwhelming will now feel manageable.
Final Verdict for Taurus Ascendant
Overall, this Mars exaltation transit is highly auspicious and progressive for Taurus ascendant natives.
Use this period consciously.
Move forward with clarity.
Take calculated risks.
When used in the right direction, this transit can quietly change your trajectory without unnecessary struggle.
For Gemini Ascendant
For Gemini ascendant natives, this is a rare and misunderstood transit.
Mars rules your 6th and 11th houses. Technically, this makes Mars a functional malefic. But both these houses are extremely important for career growth, competition, income, and fulfilment of desires.
So Mars is not an enemy you can ignore, it is a planet that delivers results through pressure.
During this transit, Mars becomes exalted in Capricorn, and for Gemini ascendant, this happens in the 8th house.
The 8th house is often feared.
People immediately label it as “Ashtam Mangal” and assume loss or danger. That is a shallow understanding.
In reality, an exalted planet in the 8th house can activate Vipreet Rajyoga, especially when that planet governs difficult but result-oriented houses like the 6th.
This placement is seen in the charts of people who rise through crisis, research, secrecy, and sudden transformation.
The gains are not linear, but they can be powerful.
Career and Professional Life: Strategy Over Strength
This transit will sharpen your mind.
Mars in the 8th house gives an investigative, analytical, and decoding ability. You will easily sense people’s intentions.
If someone is trying to sabotage your work, spread rumours, or play politics behind your back, you will catch it quickly and counter it effectively.
In the first week of the transit, sudden events are possible:
- Team reshuffles
- Policy disagreements
- Unexpected professional changes
These may look disruptive initially, but they will eventually work in your favour.
Because Mars rules the 6th house, this transit is excellent for:
- Legal matters
- Court cases
- Office conflicts
- Competitive environments
Unexpected promotions, salary increments, or sudden professional gains are very much possible, especially when you least expect them.
The key is this:
Do not react emotionally. Think tactically.
Health and Necessary Precautions
Since Mars is the lord of the 6th house, health needs attention.
Old health issues may resurface. Some of you may experience symptoms that are hard to diagnose, such as unexplained fevers, inflammation, or fatigue.
This does not mean major illness, but it does mean you should not ignore signals from the body.
Be especially careful:
- While driving
- During workouts
- When handling machinery
After 31st January, when Mercury joins Mars, the risk of impulsive actions increases. Slow down physically, even if your mind feels sharp.
Mars also aspects your 2nd house, which governs food and habits. If you already struggle with:
- Overeating
- Alcohol
- Tobacco
This transit can intensify those tendencies. Discipline is essential.
Relationships, Family, and Speech Control
On the relationship front, this transit requires maturity.
Health concerns related to your spouse or in-laws can arise, which may create emotional tension. Female natives should be particularly cautious in dealings with the spouse’s younger siblings.
Mars’ aspect on the 2nd house can create Vani Dosh.
You may speak impulsively, harshly, or out of anger. Words spoken during this period can damage relationships if not controlled.
At the same time, there is a positive social side.
Your network circle will expand. This is a good time to reconnect with old friends, attend social gatherings, and spend time outdoors.
Support will come, but only if communication is handled wisely.
Remedies and Conscious Use of This Transit
To balance Mars during this sensitive but powerful phase:
- Donate Hanuman Samagri (orange vermilion, jasmine oil, janeu, langot, and chola) at a Hanuman temple on Tuesday evenings
- Avoid ego-based reactions
- Channel Mars energy into research, strategy, planning, and problem-solving
This transit has the power to transform you internally before it changes your outer life. If you use this energy consciously, the gains can be sudden and decisive.
For Cancer Ascendant
This is one of the most important transits of 2026 for Cancer ascendant natives.
On 16th January 2026, Mars will enter its exaltation sign, Capricorn, after almost two years. This alone makes the transit powerful.
But what makes it even more significant is that Mars will not be alone.
Venus, Sun, and later Mercury will also be present.
This combination turns the transit into an emotionally sensitive yet action-oriented phase, especially around relationships, decisions, and long-term direction.
The decisions you take and the actions you initiate during this period will define the tone of your entire 2026.
This is not an exaggeration. This is a foundation-laying transit.
Mars as Yogakaraka in the 7th House
For Cancer ascendant, Mars is a Yogakaraka planet.
When a Yogakaraka becomes exalted, the results are never ordinary.
Mars will be exalted in your 7th house, the house of:
- Marriage
- Partnerships
- Business alliances
- Public interaction
Any planet transiting the 7th house directly aspects the Ascendant, which means it directly influences your personality, confidence, health, and life direction.
Mars is also a natural malefic. It represents passion, courage, aggression, and action. So this transit carries intensity, but not destruction.
Mars will be joined by:
- Venus (relationships, luxury, desires)
- Sun (ego, ambition, authority)
- Mercury (communication, calculation, decision-making from 31st January)
This makes the transit highly significant across all areas of life. Some experiences will feel unfamiliar. Some events may come suddenly. There can also be pleasant surprises.
Overall, this is a balanced transit, not extreme. Nothing very negative, nothing unrealistically positive. But yes, a new chapter begins here.
Connection with Jupiter and the Larger 2026 Story
At this time, Jupiter is retrograde in your 12th house and will soon enter your Ascendant in exaltation.
This is important.
The results Jupiter is going to deliver later in 2026 will be prepared by Mars during this January–February period. Mars and Jupiter are both benefic for Cancer ascendant and share a friendly relationship.
Whatever Mars initiates now will connect directly with what unfolds after June 2026. Mars is writing the first lines of a much bigger story.
Personality, Leadership, and Performance
Mars will directly aspect your 1st house.
This will:
- Increase courage
- Improve focus
- Sharpen performance
- Enhance work capacity
If you lead a team, you will handle leadership very well. You will extract maximum output from people. Even individually, your performance will rise sharply.
People will start noticing you as a leader in the workplace. Old efforts that did not give results earlier will now start paying off.
Finance, Promotion, and Real Estate Gains
Promotion is clearly indicated.
If your Mahadasha or Antardasha of Mars or Jupiter is running, promotion and salary hike are very likely during this period itself.
Financial gains are visible.
Real estate matters look especially strong:
- Buying or selling property
- Renting buildings
- Profits through land, construction, or buildings
Saturn is transiting your 9th house, creating favorable conditions for long-term assets. If you are a real estate agent, or if your property was stuck or vacant, this transit supports resolution and profit.
Loans are also indicated:
- Home loan
- Vehicle
- Gadget or lifestyle upgrades
Lifestyle Upgrade and Expense Control
Cancer ascendants are emotionally sensitive about:
- Appearance
- Lifestyle
- Social image
During this transit, you will aggressively upgrade your lifestyle.
Venus, the lord of your 4th and 11th houses and the natural significator of luxury, will amplify material desires. You may spend on:
- Expensive perfumes
- Watches
- Cars
- Clothing
- Status symbols
This may look wasteful to others, especially your spouse.
Disagreements with spouse are likely around expenses. And honestly, some control is needed because Rahu is transiting your 8th house, indicating strong internal transformation and impulsive urges. Mars exalted will amplify this Rahu energy.
Spend consciously.
Love, Marriage, and Relationship Dynamics
Venus–Mars conjunction makes emotions intense.
If you are in a love relationship, you may strongly push for marriage. Some resistance from the partner’s family is possible, but issues will eventually resolve.
For some natives, marriage rituals themselves are indicated during this period.
However, nothing will come easily. Saturn from the 9th house can create delays and obstacles, especially after 31st January, when Mercury joins Mars. Communication issues and misunderstandings can increase.
Be thoughtful.
Be tactical.
Avoid impulsive decisions.
For married natives:
- Relationship improves
- Health or career issues of spouse resolve
- Spouse becomes more disciplined
Your spouse will also try to control your expenses, which is actually beneficial.
Status Rise, Speech Power, and Family Business
Mars is also your 10th house lord.
It governs:
- Career
- Status
- Identity
- Father’s income
- Public image
Mars will aspect its own 10th house from exaltation, which is a very strong signal of status rise. Events at the workplace will elevate your position.
People will appreciate your ambitions and goals.
Mars also aspects your 2nd house:
- Your speech becomes commanding
- Your words carry authority
- Many tasks will get done simply through how you speak
Salary increase is indicated.
Family business shows growth, especially if related to:
- Real estate
- Mining
- Money lending
You may emerge as a leader within the family business.
Health, Transformation, and Appearance
This transit has a direct impact on health.
With so many planets aspecting your Ascendant, your choices regarding health, finances, and relationships will change.
You will become physically active:
- Joining a gym
- Taking long trips
- Improving social health
Mars being Yogakaraka ensures that events ultimately work in your favor.
Weight loss is indicated.
Major physical transformation is visible.
Some natives may undergo:
- Hair transplant
- Cosmetic or medical treatment
Overall appearance improves significantly.
If any health issue existed earlier, it can resolve during this phase. Important health decisions should preferably be taken before 31st January.
After that, Mercury (your 6th and 12th lord) may increase health-related expenses, especially linked to emotional insecurities and appearance.
Still, recovery, surgery, and solutions are well supported.
Remedies and Final Guidance
Strengthening Jupiter is the best remedy.
Jupiter is your 9th lord (Bhagyesh) and currently slightly weak due to the 12th house transit. Strengthening Jupiter will:
- Improve luck
- Reduce emotional insecurity
- Balance malefic influences
Recommended remedies:
- Ekadashi fast
- Vishnu Sahasranama recitation
- Wearing Yellow Sapphire on the index finger (after proper consultation)
For Leo Ascendant
This is a major transit for Leo ascendant natives.
On 16th January 2026, Mars will enter its exaltation sign, Capricorn. Mars comes into exaltation after almost two years, which already makes this transit important. But this time, Mars is not transiting alone.
Venus will be present, Sun will be present, and Mercury will join on 31st January. This creates a highly charged transit involving action, ambition, emotions, communication, and decision-making.
The decisions you take and actions you initiate during this period can dominate and define your entire 2026. This is not a casual phase.
Mars as Yogakaraka in the 6th House
For Leo ascendant, Mars is a Yogakaraka planet.
Mars will be exalted in your 6th house.
The 6th house is an Upachaya house, where Mars gives some of its best results. This house represents:
- Competition
- Enemies
- Debts
- Diseases
- Daily battles
- Work environment
Mars in the 6th house increases passion, aggression, courage, and fighting spirit.
From here:
- Mars aspects your 9th house
- Mars directly aspects your 12th house
- Mars casts its special aspect on your Ascendant (1st house)
This itself shows how significant and life-impacting this transit is.
Career, Competition, and Workplace Politics
You can expect good results during this transit, but they will not come without effort.
Mars will be joined by:
- Sun (your ascendant lord, representing authority and seniors)
- Venus (10th and 3rd house lord, career and effort)
- Mercury (2nd and 11th house lord, income and gains, from 31st January)
This combination fulfills the conditions of Raj Yoga and Dhan Yoga in the 6th house.
Career growth is clearly indicated.
However, the price you will pay is relationship strain at the workplace.
You may face:
- Jealousy
- Manipulation
- Backbiting
- Office politics
Some colleagues may actively work against you. The key advice is simple:
Ignore noise and stay focused.
You will receive strong support from seniors and authorities.
Mars represents seniors, government, and bosses in your chart, and from exaltation it aspects its own domain. With senior support, you will safely navigate workplace politics.
Your willpower and courage will allow you to defeat enemies and emerge victorious. This is an excellent transit for:
- Clearing competition
- Legal matters
- Professional rivalries
Performance, Leadership, and Recognition
Your performance will improve significantly.
Your focus will become sharp.
Your output will increase.
For those involved in sports, defence, competition-based careers, or high-pressure roles, this is a very supportive period. Mars in the 6th house strengthens exactly those traits needed to win real battles.
This transit also supports foreign-related matters.
Mars’ direct aspect on the 12th house indicates:
- Foreign travel
- Faster visa processing
- Clearance of pending documentation
The negative events you faced at work in 2025 will start reversing in 2026. Mars will give you a warrior mindset and a renewed identity.
Discipline and time management will improve, giving you a clear edge over competitors.
Promotion is strongly indicated, along with new responsibilities.
Finances, Expenses, and Property Matters
Financially, expenses will increase.
Mars’ aspect on the 12th house shows spending on:
- Travel
- Well-being
- Vehicle
- House or relocation
Buying a house is indicated, though it may require a loan. This loan will serve a meaningful and long-term purpose.
At the same time, Jupiter is retrograde in your 11th house, which is slowly building income and gains. So while expenses rise, income potential is also being prepared.
One of the most important benefits of this transit is that it strongly counters Ashtam Shani. Saturn’s pressure will reduce significantly during this period.
However, with six planets transiting the lower axis, emotional insecurity may rise, especially around relationships.
Relationships, Marriage, and Emotional Patterns
This transit has a deep impact on relationships.
The 6th house represents internal flaws. During this period, you will recognize where you were making mistakes in marriage or relationships. More importantly, you will actively try to correct them.
Mars–Venus conjunction makes you highly relationship-oriented. You may become intense, possessive, or jealous toward your partner.
If Venus or Jupiter is afflicted in your birth chart, this intensity can backfire. Your spouse may not understand your possessiveness, leading to arguments or clashes.
The period between 16th January and 5th February is sensitive.
Disagreements with spouse, especially related to finances, are possible.
However, Jupiter’s aspect on the 7th house ensures that issues get resolved quickly.
Equations with mother, father, and seniors may fluctuate. Emotions will surface strongly.
You may feel that your efforts are not being recognized. Ignore these feelings and stay practical.
Time with children will be positive. You will feel proud of their achievements.
Health, Mental Strength, and Spiritual Growth
Mars in the 6th house gives a warrior attitude.
You are a natural leader, and this transit will elevate your leadership qualities. In medical or financial emergencies, people will look toward you for help.
Health-wise:
- Immunity improves
- Physical strength increases
But the risk of injury also rises. Avoid reckless driving and unnecessary risks.
Minor injuries are possible, especially if your running Mahadasha is weak.
Mental health becomes important. Mars’ aspect on the 12th house brings psychological intensity. You may invest more in:
- Mental well-being
- Therapy
- Spiritual practices
Spiritual growth will be strong. You will actively seek knowledge and higher understanding.
Spiritual retreats or pilgrimages are indicated.
If you are planning surgery, try to complete it before 31st January. After Mercury joins, complications may increase.
For Virgo Ascendant
This is a very important and decisive transit for Virgo ascendant natives.
On 16th January 2026, Mars will enter its exaltation sign, Capricorn, after almost two years. This alone makes the transit powerful.
But once again, Mars will not be alone.
Venus will be present, Sun will be present, and Mercury will join on 31st January. Since Mercury is your Ascendant lord, this transit becomes even more personal and impactful.
The decisions you take and actions you initiate during this phase can define the direction of your entire 2026. So this is not a period to act casually.
Mars as a Functional Malefic, but a Result-Giving Planet
For Virgo ascendant, Mars is technically a functional malefic, but that does not make it weak or useless.
Mars rules:
- Your 3rd house (effort, courage, initiative, action)
- Your 8th house (sudden change, transformation, inheritance, in-laws)
Because of this rulership, Mars plays a very important role in your:
- Career decisions
- Financial risk-taking
- Health patterns
- Relationship dynamics
Mars may create pressure, but it always gives movement and outcomes.
Exalted Mars in the 5th House: Intelligence, Risk, and Creativity
Mars will be exalted in your 5th house.
The 5th house is the higher octave of the 9th house. It represents:
- Intelligence and logic
- Creativity
- Education and learning patterns
- Love affairs
- Children
- Speculation and decision-making ability
Exalted Mars here is a strong and rare placement.
This time, the 5th house becomes crowded:
- Sun (12th house lord)
- Venus (2nd and 9th house lord, an auspicious planet for you)
- Mercury (Ascendant lord, joining on 31st January)
Mars will lead this entire group. Mars is a natural leader, and here it dominates all other planets.
Career Growth, Gains, and High-Risk Decisions
All these planets from the 5th house will aspect your 11th house.
The 11th house represents:
- Big gains
- Success
- Fulfilment of desires
- Network and influence
This activation clearly shows career and financial success.
During this period:
- You will take big steps
- Your philosophy becomes high risk, high reward
- You may expand business
- You may take bold speculative decisions
You will directly confront:
- Workplace enemies
- Seniors who earlier blocked your growth
You may finally demand the promotion or salary hike that was denied earlier. And this time, your demand can get fulfilled.
If your Mahadasha–Antardasha supports, this transit can create Raj Yoga and Dhan Yoga–like results, leading to a sharp upward movement.
The 2026 Jupiter Connection: Bigger Story Ahead
The year 2026 is already auspicious for Virgo ascendants because Jupiter will exalt in June.
Mars is laying the foundation.
Jupiter will exalt in your 11th house, and right now, exalted Mars is already activating that house.
The pattern is very clear.
Whatever begins now will expand after June 2026.
Sudden Positive Changes and Life Direction Shifts
Mars also rules your 8th house, which brings:
- Sudden gains
- Unexpected events
- Transformational shifts
Many Virgo natives will experience sweet, unexpected changes during this period.
This is especially important for:
- Ages 25–30, who are searching for direction or a new career path
- Ages 35+, who want stability and a new long-term goal
The 5th house governs long-term planning, and Mars rules your courage to act. Decisions taken now will be logical, bold, and ambitious.
Your focus, productivity, and time management will improve. You will extract better performance from your team.
Competition, Fame, and Authority
This is a strong period for competition.
- Sports professionals perform better
- Interviews and exams get cleared
- Political ambitions can materialize
Those in:
- Police
- Administration
- IPS
- Government services
may take bold decisions that bring them into the limelight.
The 5th house also signifies fame, and Mars here can place you on a visible pedestal.
Speculation, Love, and Relationship Intensity
The 5th house also governs speculation and love.
You may take risky financial bets. If your running Dasha is weak, do not act blindly. Understand first what Mars is triggering in your chart.
Mars–Venus conjunction increases:
- Physical intimacy desires
- Emotional sensitivity
- Relationship intensity
However, your needs may exceed what the partner can give. This can create frustration. Logic is required here.
For troubled love relationships, some issues will start resolving. Outdoor activities or long-distance travel with the partner are indicated.
Mars’ aspect on the 12th house increases expenses, but these expenses will be for meaningful purposes.
Marriage, Property, and Family Expansion
Expenses related to:
- Children
- Shopping
- Luxury items
are visible.
You may buy:
- House
- Vehicle
- Luxury items
Real estate gains are strongly supported.
Saturn (significator of buildings) and Mars (significator of land) are both well placed. Saturn in your 7th house shows:
- Property in spouse’s name
- Real estate partnership with spouse
Saturn–Mars combination supports love marriage. Resistance from family can clear after initial turbulence.
Childbirth, children’s education, and future security matters are positively supported.
After 31st January, when Mercury joins, decisions become more structured and elders guide you better.
Social Expansion and Status Rise
Your networking improves sharply.
You will actively pursue people outside your immediate family circle. Social influence increases. Even society elections or associations can bring success.
Spending on appearance and transformation is visible. The spouse may initially object, but matters will settle.
Health, Mental State, and Necessary Caution
Health remains largely manageable, but caution is required.
The 5th house supports recovery, but Mars’ aspect on the 12th house can bring:
- Energy drain
- Sleep disturbances
- Bad dreams or sleep paralysis
Issues during this phase may be hard to diagnose.
For 6–7 days after 16th January, be extra careful. Follow meditation and mindfulness strictly.
Mars in the 5th house can make you mentally restless. Small problems may appear big, creating health anxiety. Your mind may exaggerate fears.
This is psychological, not physical.
Those with Rahu–Mars or Ketu–Mars combinations should be extra cautious.
Remedies and Practical Guidance
To pacify Mars and stabilize emotions:
- Read Hanuman Chalisa regularly
- Donate Hanuman ji samagri (langot, chola, coconut, janeu, sindoor, jasmine oil) at a temple
Many natives will naturally join:
- Gym
- Outdoor sports
- Physical activities
This will significantly improve mental, physical, and social health.
For Libra Ascendant
For Libra ascendant natives, this is a very important and result-oriented transit.
On 16th January 2026, Mars will enter its exaltation sign, Capricorn. Mars comes into exaltation after almost two years, and this time it is not coming alone.
Sun, Venus, and Mercury will also be present in Capricorn, creating a powerful planetary cluster.
The decisions you take and actions you initiate during this phase can strongly shape your financial position, domestic stability, and emotional foundation for the coming years.
This transit is largely positive, but it is emotionally intense, so awareness is important.

Although the results are positive, emotionally this is not a light transit.
Mars in the 4th house increases emotional vulnerability. You may feel:

This transit is very favourable for legal issues.
If you are dealing with:
