Astrological influences of Ketu and Mars transit

Astrological perspectives discuss the influences of the shadow planet Ketu and the upcoming transit of Mars into the Punervasu Nakshatra.

In Vedic astrology, Ketu is viewed as a factor of spirituality, detachment, and sudden events. While it does not own any specific zodiac sign, its position in a birth chart—particularly in Scorpio, which is often considered its exalted sign—can influence an individual's spiritual growth and research capabilities. The effects of Ketu depend heavily on its placement, the nakshatra, and its relationship with other planets.

Separately, Mars is set to enter the Punervasu Nakshatra, ruled by Jupiter, on September 2, 2026. This transit is expected to impact several zodiac signs. For Aries, it may increase confidence and career opportunities. Gemini may see increased energy and new professional responsibilities, while Cancer could experience improved financial stability. Leo may find career advancements, and Sagittarius may also see significant shifts due to the connection between Mars and Jupiter.
