Vedic Astrology in 2026: March – The Month of Exalted Ambition & Karmic Foundations.

March 2026 stands out as one of the most decisive months of the year. The defining event is Mars entering Makara (Capricorn) — its sign of exaltation — early to mid-March. This placement turns raw energy into structured, long-lasting achievement. Mars exalted in karma bhava (for many charts) brings promotions, authority, government favor, engineering success, administrative power and visible results through relentless discipline.

At the same time Shani in Meena continues its slow, unyielding pressure — rewarding only those who have learned patience, renunciation and responsibility. Guru in fiery Simha keeps bestowing confidence, creative leadership, children’s progress, teaching success and dharma growth. The Rahu in Meena – Ketu in Kanya axis keeps forcing the moksha vs manifestation dilemma: spiritual surrender or material clinging.

Sun enters Mesha mid-month (≈14–15 March), marking the Vedic New Year (Mesha Sankranti) — a powerful reset for personal identity, initiative and life direction.

Key Transits – March 2026 (Vedic sidereal approximate)

  • Sun: Meena → Mesha (≈14–15 Mar) – Mesha Sankranti
  • Mercury: Meena → Mesha → Vrishabha (fast)
  • Venus: Meena → Mesha → Vrishabha
  • Mars: Makara (exalted – entire month)
  • Guru: Simha (entire month)
  • Shani: Meena (entire month)
  • Rahu: Meena / Ketu: Kanya (entire month)
