Eyes on the sky: Mars Kanjankt Ketu –
Express your power with love
Suppose you have ever seen young children on the playground. In that case, you will see how they naturally express anger – they get upset, let it go out completely, and then move forward as if nothing happened. Anger is a natural spirit, which often indicates a desire. While children release it easily, adults press it – until it does not form and does not explode. That kind of suppression is dangerous.
Mangal is moving towards a combination with Ketu in Leo. In the average node system, the exact combination occurs on July 21, while in the true node system, it occurs on the peaks around 26 July. This energy will be firmly felt between July 13–31, as the two planets live within 5 degrees of each other.
At its highest capacity, Mars/Ketu combination asks us to act on our highest ideals for humanity, especially through leadership in service to others, which represents Leo. But when these ideals are disappointed or blocked, it can give rise to anger and violence. As we have said earlier, do not ruin your energy that you cannot control. Instead, channel your frustration in action: volunteers, serve others, or the reason for support is for you.
This transit is full of confidence in your power and leadership, especially if you are struggling to express these qualities – especially relevant to women at this time. If you have held back, this is your moment.
The Mars/Ketu combination is also in favor of subjects such as engineering and mathematics, so it is a great time to focus on invention or structured problem-constitution. For increasing signs of Scorpio and Aries, this alignment can promote spiritual successes and enlarged intuition, as Ketu planet is the most spiritual of the nodes. Consider retreating a meditation or deepen your daily spiritual practices. Other worldly activities may feel despair or disappointing.
On a broader scale, this combination can be unstable for the planet and is often associated with violence and terrorism. In particular, the race riots in St. Louis and Milwauki, as well as 9/11 during attacks, Mars/Ketu alignment occurred. While we hope that things around this time remain calm – perhaps too cold for unrest – it is a reminder to find creative outlets for your feelings. Write a letter, post a view on social media, or contact your representatives. Avoid bottling things.
At the extreme end, this energy may appear in the form of accidents, fire, burns and explosions. Be additional vigilant at home and on the road – not only for your safety, but because others may be careless or distracted.
The silver lining of this combination is the opportunity that provides to face and change your unconscious fear and repressed anger. If Leo or Cancer is prominent in your chart, give time to exercise or engage in healthy competition-this is a safe and effective way to release paint-up stress.
In the collective, this energy can fan the flames of irrational fear, which is often amplified by the media. The situation is likely to increase with ice and exile policies, as efforts are made by opposition groups. Stay grounded and do not let yourself flow in hysteria.
Depending on the Natal chart in our database, from a global point of view, this Mars/ketu combination in Leo will probably have a strong impact on North Korea, Spain, Canada and Yemen than America.
While yoga and movement are usually great tools to stay balanced, be soft by yourself – alcohol exirtation can increase the vata (air) element, which can cause more anxiety. Just seek Mars-inspired advice from Nike: “Just do.” This transit can bring a dull, stuck feeling, but even small tasks will help transfer energy. The mutual house exchange between Saturn and Mars, both Tamasic planets, can contribute to further inertia – so by initiating the fight.
This transit will especially affect those with major planets between 21–30 Leo or Aquarius, and who are running Mars/Ketu or Ketu/Mars Dasha period, especially if those planets occupy Taurus, Pisces or patient ascending on the 4th, 6th, or 8th houses. If yes, take extra care while driving and avoid unnecessary risks. Otherwise, there is no need for alarm – just be cautious and be emotionally honest.
