Mars, planet of energy and action, is in Shravana within the sign of Capricorn from January 28th to February 14th 2026.

This place sees Mars in its greatest strength, which gives promise for an ambitious and demanding task you can achieve quickly and professionally. Shravana is an auspicious nakshatra associated with wisdom and learning, particularly the oral transmission of knowledge. You can work as a spiritual warrior, using your brain aligned with muscle, and put focused energy into the pursuit of understanding. You learn a lot about the power of speech, as you weigh your words carefully and discover their capacity to persuade, wound, or heal.

Mars combines with its planetary friend, the Sun, up to February 6th, which accents your action-oriented approach, and gives you a personal ego-investment in success. You may shed light on a hidden or forgotten goal, but be careful of being too intent on your own ambition at the expense of group harmony. Shravana has a natural association with Saraswati, the devata of wisdom, and chanting and meditating enhance your memory and natural connection to new ideas. There’s a competitive element to your academic goals, and a friend or co-worker may trigger you into learning more and proving you have the answers.

Mars also joins with Mercury and Venus up to February 3rd, which gives you a stronger connection to teaching and diplomacy, especially when you are in the right company. This is a good time to mobilise your thinking into a political-type campaign, but be careful of tensions arising with your partner over a small matter. You also react to romantic attention coming to you from the outside, perhaps when you least expect it.
