Mars–Ketu Conjunction: Every Meeting, 2026 to 2028
2 meetings · Leo and Gemini
Between 2026 and 2028 the site’s DE421 table records two conjunctions of Mars and Ketu — days on which the two share a sidereal longitude — in Leo and Gemini. Successive meetings come 645 to 645 days apart. Ketu here is the mean node, which can stand up to 1.7° from the true node, so for Mars–Ketu even the day is approximate.
Ketu counts Mars a friend; Mars’s row names no node, so Mars’s view of Ketu has no entry. None of the two meetings falls in a sign either of them rules.
The Two Meetings
| Day | Sign, degree | Nakshatra | Mars | Ketu |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 November 2026 | Leo 1° | Magha 1 | in a friend's sign | in an enemy's sign |
| 21 August 2028 | Gemini 26° | Punarvasu (near a pada edge) | in an enemy's sign | in a neutral sign |
The dignity columns are each graha’s standing in the sign of the meeting, as the planet-in-sign pages give it; the nakshatra is the one the shared longitude falls in. For Mars–Ketu every date is a day, not a time: the table does carry a minute, but the site publishes a conjunction to the day, the resolution independent tables agree on.
A conjunction in the sky touches every chart at once, in whichever house that sign falls for it; it is not a reading of anyone’s chart. For Mars and Ketu in a birth chart, see the Mars and Ketu pages, and for how grahas are read together, astrology for beginners and what Vedic astrology is.
