Ketu, the shadow planet of mysticism and liberation, is in Pada (part) Four of Magha in the sign of Leo from March 29th to May 31st 2026.

Ketu has a bold and flamboyant tone in its entry to this new nakshatra, where you dramatise your mystical quest and prefer a more public, performative style. Magha pada four also relates to Cancer navamsha, which brings you an underlying emotional quality, as you explore issues that create inner healing around your home and emotional security. In a relationship, especially, the underlying lunar rulership raises your emotional sensitivity, where you can expect sudden changes in family dynamics, connection with your ancestry, and sense of spiritual grounding.

You are also generous towards your partner and introduce a kind of mystical romantic quality into your relationship. Magha’s Shakti, ‘The Power to Leave the Body’, especially blends with Ketu’s otherworldly focus, where you have insight, wisdom, and a shift toward a higher mind level. This is a time to seek truth beyond worldly recognition, even if you are outwardly successful. Any sense of disconnection from your heritage or legacy can be unsettling, but it is ultimately liberating. Ketu intensifies your desire to release attachment and ego-driven ambition, along with past-life karmic ties related to status and possible inherited power.

The fiery tone of this transit inclines you to make abrupt changes, where Ketu seeks to tear away from old connections and forge a new sense of meaning. Be sure to act on a plan, however, and keep sight of your initial purpose, as you can easily become sidetracked and mistake blind movement for meaningful action.
