Well - that was a doozy!
Eclipse seasons always highlight times of uncertainty, unpredictability and fear. It is important to see the chaos that is stirred, and not let the mind get shadowed and ‘eclipsed’. March and early April are turbulent as the fallout from the eclipse season continues to unravel.
Mars is the main aggressor, acting as a destroyer or protector, depending on the frequency/level of consciousness. As you can see, Mars meets with Rahu, and in April will meet with Saturn.

🐍Kaal Sarp Yoga & Angarak Yoga - Mars with Rahu, 7 planets caught in the serpent of time
Mars is now in Aquarius, and will move closer to Rahu (the shadow of illusion) before moving into the rahu/ketu axis. Mars with Rahu is always problematic. It causes Anagarak Yoga - amplifying warlike situations, turmoil, aggression, fighting, and overall volatility. Aquarius is an Air sign and thus all kinds of air related industries and sectors are impacted, as we have seen with major air travel disruptions due to the situation in the middle east. Aries and Scorpio dominant folks need to pay attention.
Anyone with planets in the Leo - Aquarius axis is strongly impacted at the moment. While we shouldn’t be fearful - this combination occurs every 2 years, it is a time for caution and calm.
Although Mars is afflicted by Rahu, it is strong, which gives, energy, drive and ambition to take action, expand, have courage and accomplish goals - when we are focussed on using the higher qualities of the energies.
Once Rahu moves into the Rahu-Ketu axis on 14th March, this begins Kaal Sarp Yoga (Serpent of Time Combination, until 10 July. In essence, we will se a karmic squeezing of events, as all The 7 planets are moving towards Ketu in Leo. They will be hemmed between Rahu & Ketu - with the moon breaking it every 2 weeks, util 10 July.
Kaal Sarp yoga highlights intensification of karmic issues, we can feel more bound by situations - greater extremes in world events and ups/downs. USA has Kaal Sarp Yoga in its natal horoscope. The last time this occurred was April - July 2025 - where the tariffs imposed by USA, as well as AI/job losses triggered global financial instabilities.
2026 is truly about severing, endings, separations, divorces, deep transformations, and spiritual awakenings. This is very much due to the planets moving towards Ketu, rather than Rahu. It is a #1 year, which is a new cycle, but for something new to unfold, the old must give way. These are the cycles of time - growth and decay. August Eclipses will be another major turning point and completion time, reflecting the issues that have been occurring in Feb/March.
Ketu is the headless serpent, and when planets are connected with Ketu, we are asked to transform, let go of attachments and desires (indicated by Rahu) - and adopt a more spiritual approach to life. But its impact can feel like a loss on some level.
Because we are in such a Rahu dominant society(rahu being the head without a body) - embedded in the frameworks of technology, increasing AI usage and dependence, disconnection from nature and its rhythms, filled with desires, obsessions, greed and lust - Ketu can feel like a disaster. But it is in fact reminding us of what is essential, what is truth, the eternal, the temporary - teaching us to be in the world, but not of it.
Spiritual reality is the foundation of matter - this is physics. The lunar nodes - Rahu and Ketu reflect the eternal push and pull of the monkey mind, the chaos of attraction and repulsion - addiction and aversion - obsession and apathy.
This is why during eclipses, and Kaal Sarp Yoga, people who have sensitive mental health can be more impacted - the lunar nodes are shadow points of the Moon - the Mind. To balance, remedies are essential - for this, read to the end.
