Mars, planet of action and competition, enters the nakshatra of Revati, in the sign of Pisces, from April 23rd to May 11th 2026.

This nakshatra translates to ‘The Wealthy’ and promises fortune and fine personal qualities, as you put your strength and energy into projects which increase your prosperity. Revati is particularly favourable for those on the road and away from home, and its Shakti ‘To Protect’, sees you feeling restless and adventurous, and also giving support to travellers and friends. Mars combines with clever Mercury up to April 30th to give you an assertive style of thought and speech, which you can channel into protesting and campaigning.

Your mental energy is high, and you seek an outlet for your competitive spirit. Revati’s symbol, the Drum, has connotations with rhythm and timing, and you have a pulsing sense of marching to your own beat. The ruling deity of this asterism, Pushan, the defender of lost people and fellow creatures, favours fighting for a cause and making a stand to offer hospitality, or perhaps even taking on an animal-rights issue. You may be crusading for yourself, or on behalf of a charity or special interest, but be careful to say the right thing at the right time.

Mars also comes together with stolid Saturn through this whole transit, which can see you clashing with authority and becoming frustrated at the slow pace of change. A spur-of-the-moment trip away can give you unexpected insight, though there is also a conflict of duties between work and home. You can easily become tired, particularly in the early part of this transit, and be mindful to maintain your wellness and general immunity.
