5 Things to avoid doing in Angarak Yog 2026

2026 is the year of transformation and development, but these changes will also bring in the influence of planetary transits. One such planetary conjunction is happening this year, which is known as the Angarak Yoga, which forms when Mars (Mangal) conjuncts Rahu in Aquarius from February 23 to April 2. It is believed that this cosmic change will be creating a volatile period of heightened aggression, impulsivity, and sudden disruptions in Vedic astrology. As per experts, it is believed that this fiery combination of planets can increase the risks in decision-making, conflicts, and accidents; here are some things one must avoid during this phase.

Avoid Impulsive Decisions

Make sure that you steer clear of major life choices like job switches, investments, or marriages during this 40-day duration. This is majorly due to Mars-Rahu fueling impulsive actions leading to regret. The Angarak yog will peak in intensity between March 13 and 14 at the exact conjunction in Shatabhisha Nakshatra.

Skip Risky Travel

This time is believed to be risky, as there are high chances of accidents and mishaps, especially for road trips or air travel between March 9-22 overlapping Hindu New Year energies—postpone non-essential journeys. Mars governs vehicles, while Rahu stirs chaos; opt for short, planned commutes only.


Refrain from Arguments

Make sure you avoid family and workplace tensions, as there’s a chance to spike arguments for Aries, Scorpio, and Aquarius moons; avoid heated debates or legal disputes, as the yoga breeds misunderstandings and enmity. Practice silence and pranayama to cool Mars' fire.


Limit Speculative Ventures

Always ensure that you don’t enter into gambling, stock trading, or crypto, as the risks will amplify during this phase and will lead to losses under Rahu's illusionary pull—abstain entirely till April 2 when Mars exits Aquarius. Focus on savings; this period tests financial discipline harshly.


Anger-Fueled Actions

Suppress road rage, property deals, or revenge—Angarak ignites destructive outbursts. Chant Hanuman Chalisa daily and donate red items on Tuesdays to pacify; Virgo and Capricorn natives face extra mental strain.
