What is the Angarak yoga? What are the dos and don'ts to follow during this phase?

As the world stands on the verge of wars and destruction, it seems that the year 2026 calls for caution! Ruled by the Sun and the fire element, this year will be about transits and major shifts; one such planetary conjunction happening this year is the Angarak Yoga. Here’s all you need to know about it!

The ongoing phase

This cosmic conjunction happens when Mars (Mangal) conjuncts with Rahu in Aquarius from February 23 to April 2. It is believed that this planetary change will be creating a volatile period of heightened aggression, impulsivity, destruction 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.

Here is a simple guide on how to handle Angarak Yog energy:

The best way to handle Angarak Yog is to give that energy a place to go. If you do not use Angarak Yog energy, it turns into frustration.

* Stay physically active: Mars rules the muscles; heavy physical work or exercise is a lifesaver. Go for a run hit the gym or do yoga. It lets the steam out of the pressure cooker.

* Practice silence: Try to wait ten seconds before responding to an insult. Most problems during Angarak Yog are caused by words spoken in a second of rage.

* Drink water: Staying hydrated helps cool the fire. In astrology, the Moon is the remedy for a troubled Mars.

* Help others: Doing service, especially for siblings or laborers, helps soften the harsh effects of Rahu.

Things one must avoid during this phase:

Rahu loves to create confusion. Mars loves to react. Avoiding these things can save you from big regrets.

* Avoid arguments: Do not get into "who is" debates. With Angarak Yog, even a small disagreement can turn into a long-term grudge or a legal mess.

* Stay away from objects: Angarak Yog makes people a bit prone to accidents or minor cuts. Be very careful while handling knives or tools and avoid speeding while driving.

* Do not make decisions: If you feel a sudden urge to quit your job or end a relationship right now, wait. That is Rahu talking. Give yourself three days to think it over.

* Avoid food: Eating very hot or spicy food can increase the heat in your body and mind making you more irritable.

Angarak Yog is not a curse that ruins lives; it is a high-voltage energy. If you are mindful of your temper and stay grounded, you can actually use Angarak Yog to finish tasks that require immense courage. Just remember to keep your cool when the world feels a bit too hot.
