Unlocking power of Ruchak Rajyoga (Jan 16 — Feb 22, 2026)

- 

We often wait for the “perfect moment” to act — waiting for motivation, resources, or clarity — but starting January 16, 2026, the waiting room is officially closed because the General is entering the building.

Mars (Mangal), the planet of relentless drive, moves into Capricorn, its state of Exaltation (highest efficiency), creating a powerful Five-Week window until February 22 where the energy shifts from chaotic to strategic. For Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, this specific transit triggers the rare Ruchak Rajyoga — one of the Five Great Royal Yogas. This is not just a transit; it is a call to armor up and execute your biggest mission. Here is the roadmap for all 12 signs.

Aries

Your career peak

Mars in your 10th House

This is your moment. With your ruling planet exalted in your house of career, the Ruchak Rajyoga is fully active for you.

The shift: You move from "working hard" to “leading.” Obstacles that blocked your professional growth will suddenly be easy to break.

Your strategy: Do not be shy. Ask for that promotion. The world is looking for a leader right now, and the stars are pointing at you.

Taurus

Your fortune builder

Mars in your 9th House

The fire moves into your house of luck and higher beliefs.

The shift: Whether it is fighting for a legal cause, pursuing higher education, or traveling long-distance, luck favors your boldness.

Your strategy: Trust your convictions. If you have been hesitant to publish your work or speak your truth, do it now. Your father or a mentor figure will be a key ally for you.
