Mars in Hasta ~ Put energy into manifesting

Mars, a planet of drive and assertion, enters the nakshatra of Hasta in the sign of Virgo from August 13th to September 3rd, 2025.

Hasta is known as the Star of Manifestation, whose special power ‘To Put Power in Your Hands’ makes this an excellent time for crafts and handiwork, where Mars gives you great drive and desire. The earthy, practical spirit in this transit gets you to your ideal place through routine and repetition and keeps you ahead of your rivals. This nakshatra is known for trickery and cleverness, and you may be drawn into a dispute where one side is using intrigue and keeping a ‘tight-fisted’ attitude.

Mars combined with Hasta’s symbol of the Hand may also represent punching through obstacles and going to war for your beliefs. You can apply a skillful and versatile style in a practical way, where you have great potential and manifest results in your routine. This asterism’s rulership by Savitri, the Sun, also adds a sense of drama and creativity where you take pride in your work and love to be noticed. You can be the center of attention, but do best when you have something solid to hang your claims on.

Mars in direct relationship with karmic Saturn, especially at the start of this transit, may see you taking your time or even re-starting a long-term project. Expect a boss or authority figure to have their say on your efforts, and perhaps to touch on a sore spot, where you feel temporarily powerless to react. Focus on your own game, where steady, consistent energy with group cooperation takes you further than a one-off charge for the line.
