Mars in Aquarius, 2026
Mars enters Aquarius on Friday 23 January 2026, 09:17 UTC, which is in your time zone. It leaves for Pisces on Monday 2 March 2026, 14:16 UTC, after 38 days.
Mars leaves Capricorn for Aquarius on 23 January 2026 at 09:17 UTC and remains there for 38 days, moving on to Pisces on 2 March 2026 at 14:16 UTC. There is no retrograde during this stay. Aquarius is a fixed air sign ruled by Uranus.
The tradition treats Mars as the planet of drive, effort and friction, and in Aquarius that drive is read as turning toward ideas, groups and causes larger than the self. Astrologers describe the placement as independent and principled, sometimes stubborn once a position is taken, since Aquarius is a fixed sign. The themes include friendship, community and reform. A practical suggestion is to put effort behind one shared project rather than arguing for many, and to leave room for views that differ from your own.
