On February 23, 2026, Mars, the commander of planets, entered the sign of Aquarius, where it will reside until April 2. This presence is notable as four other planets—Rahu, Sun, Mercury, and Venus—are already positioned in Aquarius, governed by Saturn. Renowned astrologer Pravin Mishra asserts that Mars' transit through Aquarius is expected to yield remarkable benefits for many zodiac signs, while caution will be paramount for some individuals, requiring them to tread carefully during this period.

For Aries, which is ruled by Mars, the planet will be positioned in the 11th house, a place associated with gains. This placement suggests that there may be positive developments on the professional front, including potential promotions for those who have been waiting for news about their career advancements. The transit encourages harnessing skills, hard work, and decision-making to achieve substantial benefits.

In contrast, Taurus will experience Mars' transit in its 10th house, which emphasizes the need for effort to attain success in the workplace. As Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is also in Aquarius, it adds supportive energy for those born under this sign to enhance their professional performance. Taurus individuals are encouraged to put forth their best efforts to ensure that they can capitalize on the opportunities that arise during this transit, while also managing any challenges that may come their way.
