From July 7 to July 28, 2025, the cosmos sets the stage for a fiery and intense period as Mars and Ketu form a powerful conjunction in Leo, creating the much-feared yet deeply transformative Angarak Yoga. This alignment is more than just a planetary event, it’s a cosmic test, especially for relationships. Whether romantic, professional, or familial, this period will push boundaries, reveal hidden tensions, and demand maturity. Let’s understand what this celestial storm is all about, and how to ride through it with grace.

What is Angarak Yoga?🔥
Angarak Yoga is formed when Mars, the planet of action, aggression, and desire, conjoins with Ketu, the shadow planet of detachment, karmic residue, and spiritual liberation. The result? A combustible mix of intense energy and emotional aloofness. When this combination occurs in Leo, the fiery sign ruled by the Sun, associated with ego, pride, self-expression, and leadership, the effects are amplified. Leo demands attention and respect. Mars adds passion and temper, while Ketu brings unpredictability and sudden severance. The result is an emotionally charged environment where ego clashes, sudden breakups, impulsive decisions, and spiritual breakthroughs are all possible.

Why It’s a Test for Relationships?💔
This alignment will challenge how we express anger, deal with conflict, and manage emotional expectations. Key areas that may be tested:
- Ego Clashes: Leo’s pride, combined with Mars’ aggression, can lead to power struggles. Ketu's influence may push one partner to withdraw emotionally.
- Communication Breakdown: Mars wants to act. Ketu wants to cut. You may speak before thinking, or say things you later regret.
- Hidden Resentments Surfacing: Long-buried grievances might erupt suddenly.
- Detachment & Coldness: Ketu can create distance. You might feel a sudden lack of connection or empathy from people you care about.
This period will especially affect those with key placements in Leo, Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn, or if Mars/Ketu are prominent in your natal chart.

What to Expect: The Astrology Behind the Emotion🌑
Emotional Volatility: Small issues can explode. Fights may escalate quickly.
Sudden Breaks or Endings: Ketu doesn’t believe in slow detachment, it cuts sharply. If a relationship is built on weak foundations, it may crumble.
Spiritual Reflection: On a higher level, Ketu is about liberation. Some relationships might end not because they’re bad but because you’re growing beyond them.
Courage to Set Boundaries: Mars may empower you to speak your truth or walk away from what no longer serves you.

What Should You Do?
Here are some mindful steps to navigate this intense period:
1. Pause Before Reacting- Avoid impulsive responses. Take time before reacting, especially in emotionally charged conversations.
2. Choose Your Battles- Not every disagreement needs to become a war. Discern between what’s important and what’s just your ego talking.
3. Practice Energetic Protection- This is a great time for Reiki, grounding meditations, salt baths, or wearing protection crystals like black tourmaline or red jasper.
4. Reflect, Don’t React- If you feel distant from someone, don’t jump to conclusions. Use this time to reflect on whether it’s a passing phase or a deeper karmic shift.
5. Channel Mars Constructively- Mars brings heat, channel it through physical activity, creative expression, or passion projects instead of conflict.
6. Journal or Seek Spiritual Guidance- Journaling, tarot reading, or an astrological session can help you understand the karmic patterns at play.

A Message from the Cosmos
The universe doesn’t create chaos to break you. It does so to awaken you. This Angarak Yoga isn’t about destruction, it’s about transformation.
