Mars enters Aquarius

Mars crosses into Aquarius on 23 January 2026 at 09:11 UTC.

An ingress is simply a body passing 0° of a sign, but it marks a genuine change of register: Mars in Aquarius operates through air means and at a fixed tempo. Mars redirects where effort and irritation go, and how directly people are willing to compete.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, so for as long as Mars is here its behaviour is coloured by that planet as well as by its own nature.
