Mars enters Magha nakshatra on 12 November 2026: what it means for every birth star

Mars leaves Ashlesha and enters Magha nakshatra (in Leo) on 12 November 2026 at 20:18 IST (New Delhi).

Magha nakshatra

Lord: Ketu. Deity: The Pitris, the ancestors. Symbol: a royal throne. Nature: fierce (ugra); gana: rakshasa (fierce).

Mars governs energy, courage, land and property, brothers, police and the army; for the next weeks these take on the colour of Magha and of its lord Ketu.

What it means for each birth star (tara)

Read from your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra), counting to the star the planet now enters:

• Ashwini, Magha, Mula — Janma (your own star): courage and property weigh on mind and body — keep a steady routine and avoid hasty decisions.
• Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, Revati — Sampat (wealth): gains and support through courage and property.
• Pushya, Anuradha, Uttara Bhadrapada — Vipat (danger): obstacles and losses through courage and property — check before you commit.
• Punarvasu, Vishakha, Purva Bhadrapada — Kshema (well-being): comfort and ease in courage and property.
• Ardra, Swati, Shatabhisha — Pratyak (opposition): others may stand in your way in courage and property — avoid quarrels.
• Mrigashira, Chitra, Dhanishta — Sadhana (achievement): effort in courage and property succeeds — a good time to complete work.
• Rohini, Hasta, Shravana — Naidhana (the hardest): take extra care of health and avoid risks in courage and property.
• Krittika, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha — Mitra (friend): friends and well-wishers help in courage and property.
• Bharani, Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha — Param Mitra (great friend): strong support and good news in courage and property.

A nakshatra transit is a finer layer on the sign transit and on your own chart's dasha; it colours the weeks rather than decides them.
