🌑 The Critical Window: 17 February – 5 March 2026 for 17 days

This period forms one of the most volatile planetary clusters of the decade.

Two major eclipses occur:

• 17 February 2026 – Lunar Eclipse

• 3 March 2026 – Solar Eclipse

Eclipses activate karmic fault lines. But what makes this corridor dangerous is the double affliction of Rahu.

🐍 Rahu: From Amrit to Poison

Rahu, the giver of sudden rise and worldly nectar, turns venomous under affliction.

In this corridor, Rahu is afflicted in two ways:

1. By Eclipse activation (Feb 17 & March 3)

2. By conjunction with Mars (23 Feb – 2 April 2026)

This creates the dreaded:

🔥 Angarak Yoga (Mars + Rahu)

When Mars joins Rahu, aggression loses restraint.
Strategy turns impulsive.
Fire meets smoke.

🌪 Five-Planet Clusters in Aquarius

Phase 1 (17 Feb 2026)

Mercury, Rahu, Venus, Sun, Moon — clustered in Aquarius.

Phase 2 (Post 23 Feb 2026)

Mars joins Rahu, Venus, Mercury, Sun — again 5-planet concentration.

Aquarius represents:

• Collective ideology

• Global alliances

• Mass movements

• Technological warfare

Heavy malefic activation here may trigger:

• Alliance breakdowns

• Cyber warfare

• Strategic miscalculations

• Sudden escalatory moves

---

⚠ Rahu’s Extended Affliction Period

Beyond the eclipse window:

• 13–18 March 2026

• 25–31 March 2026

Rahu again behaves serpent-like.

Sustained affliction over 17+ days can:

• Prolong conflicts

• Trigger retaliatory cycles

• Escalate proxy wars
