Mars in Anuradha ~ Devote yourself to an ambition

Mars, planet of energy and pride, is in Anuradha nakshatra from November 1st to 19th, 2025.

This transit is entirely within the zodiacal sign of Scorpio, where Mars is strong and at home, and it gives you a subtle, yet powerful way of operating that keeps below the surface appearance. You may not confront people openly, but a psychological warfare aspect to your work means you have influence and do not back down from a challenge. A strong Mars gives you a desire to prove yourself and make a conquest, and the Shakti here for ‘Devotion’, sees your total commitment to a cause, creating positive change and good fortune.

Mars receives the influence of expansive Jupiter, which is also strong through this whole transit, and the combination gives you greater confidence in your actions and an ability to plan ahead. You find the courage to attempt an ambitious program, perhaps in the form of a travel or education idea, which seemed out of reach before. Mars is also coming closely together with Mercury retrograde; however, from November 10th, it should bring a note of caution not to jump too quickly into a decision or purchase.

Events are very fast-moving at this point, and you may be impatient to receive an offer when information is delayed or obstructed. Use the time to gather intelligence and read up about your subject. Ultimately, Anuradha’s symbol of a Victory Arch promises a reward for your efforts, and this asterism, which is also associated with friendship and a cooperative style, sees you forging alliances and looking forward to mutual support.
