What is Mangal Peyarchi 2028?

Mangal Peyarchi 2028 is the complete calendar of Mars's sign changes for the year 2028. It shows every sign visit with entry and exit times, plus nested retrograde windows, combust windows, and peak exaltation or debilitation moments. Because Mars can retrograde back into the previous sign, 2028 typically contains between 12 and 15 sign-visit cards.

When does Mars retrograde in 2028?

Any Mars retrograde windows falling in 2028 are listed as nested sub-events under the sign visit they occur in — with the exact station-retrograde and station-direct times in your local timezone. Mars goes retrograde roughly once every 26 months for about 60 to 80 days, so a given calendar year may contain a full retrograde, none at all, or a portion of one.

When is Mars combust (Mangal Asta) in 2028?

Mars combust windows in 2028 are listed as nested sub-events. Mars is combust when within 17 degrees of the Sun, in both directions. Combustion happens roughly once every two years, when Mars passes through conjunction with the Sun. Each combust entry and exit moment is computed via Swiss Ephemeris.

When is Mars exalted in 2028?

Mars is exalted whenever it transits Capricorn (Makara) in 2028. Sign-wide exaltation applies for the whole visit, which for Mars runs roughly 38 to 43 days; peak exaltation is the exact degree 28 degrees 0 minutes 0 seconds of Capricorn, about 38 seconds long. Both are surfaced on the Capricorn card in this timeline. Classical texts treat exalted Mars as the strongest window for courage, disciplined effort, property matters, and engineering or surgical work. Mars reaches Capricorn only about every two years.

How many Mars sign changes happen in 2028?

A typical calendar year has 12 to 15 Mars sign-visit events. Exactly 12 when Mars does not retrograde during the year; up to 15 when a retrograde cycle causes Mars to enter a sign, retreat back into the previous sign, and re-enter — producing extra visits. The 2028 timeline shows the exact count for that year.

Can I see Mangal Peyarchi for other years?

Yes — use the year navigator at the top of the timeline. The Swiss Ephemeris DE431 dataset covers from 13,201 BCE to 17,191 CE, so you can page to any year of practical interest. The sitemap indexes the current year, the previous year, and two years ahead for search discoverability.

What is Mars Yearly Transit or Mangal Gochar 2028?

Mars Yearly Transit 2028 — also called Mangal Gochar (मंगल गोचर) in North Indian tradition or Mangal Peyarchi in Tamil — is the complete calendar of Mars sign changes for the year 2028. It is the same set of 12-15 events under three different regional names. Every card shows the exact entry and exit time, plus any nested retrograde, combust, and peak-dignity sub-events within that visit.

How many Mangal Rashi (Mars sign) changes happen in 2028?

Typically 12 to 15 sign-visit events per year. Exactly 12 when Mars does not retrograde during the year (Mars passes through each sign once); up to 15 when a retrograde cycle causes Mars to enter a sign, retreat into the previous sign, and re-enter — each pass counts as its own visit. The 2028 timeline shows the exact count for the year.

When is Mars debilitated (Mangal neech) in 2028?

Mars is debilitated whenever it transits Cancer (Karka) in 2028. Click the Debilitated dignity filter chip to isolate the Cancer visit(s). Sign-wide debilitation covers the full Cancer stay; peak debilitation is the exact degree 28 degrees 0 minutes 0 seconds of Cancer, about 38 seconds long, shown as a nested sub-event.

When is Mars in its own sign (Aries / Scorpio) in 2028?

Mars rules Aries (Mesha) and Scorpio (Vrishchika). Click the Own Sign dignity chip to see both visits together with entry, exit, and duration. Aries also contains Mars's Mooltrikona degrees (0-12°) which classical texts consider especially strong for Mars-signified affairs.

When is Mars in Cancer in 2028?

Mars-in-Capricorn is Mars at its sidereal peak. Click Exalted or scroll to the Capricorn visit card. The card shows the entry moment, exit moment, and a nested Peak Exaltation (~28° Capricorn) sub-event marking the exact 28 degrees 0 minutes 0 seconds Capricorn crossing, about 38 seconds, when Mars is at maximum strength.

When is Mars in Capricorn in 2028?

Mars-in-Cancer is Mars debilitated. Click Debilitated or scroll to the Cancer card. Classical Vedic astrology treats this window as unfavourable for Mars-signified activities (property purchase, litigation, surgery, confrontation, and new ventures needing drive). The card includes a nested Peak Debilitation sub-event at ~28° Cancer.

When is Mars in Taurus / Gemini / Leo / Virgo / Libra / Sagittarius / Aquarius / Pisces in 2028?

Click the Neutral dignity filter chip. All eight neutral-sign visits are shown together with entry and exit dates. Dignity in these signs depends on Nakshatra placement and aspects rather than the sign itself.

How do I use this to plan a property or courage Muhurta in 2028?

Classical Vedic Muhurta rule for Mars: Mars should be direct (not retrograde), uncombust (more than 17 degrees from the Sun), and preferably in Capricorn (exalted) or Aries / Scorpio (own). Filter by Exalted or Own Sign, then rule out any window that carries a Retrograde or Combust badge. The remaining windows are your Mars-strong pool for property, courage and disciplined-effort Muhurta in 2028.

Note: All calculations use Lahiri Ayanamsa (sidereal) and Swiss Ephemeris for high precision. Times are displayed in your local timezone. Mars stays in each sign for ~38–45 days when direct, up to ~130 days total when a retrograde loop happens in one sign region. Mars goes retrograde roughly once every 26 months for ~60–80 days each, and is combust within 17° of the Sun (in both directions).

About Mangal Rashi Peyarchi 2028

Mangal Rashi Calendar 2028 — what this timeline shows

This is the complete Mars sign-change calendar for 2028 — every rashi entry, retrograde loop, combust window, and peak-dignity moment for Mars (Mangal) laid out chronologically. The same underlying calendar is known by several regional names:

Mangal Rashi Peyarchi 2028 — the primary name we use across the site; combines the Sanskrit "Mangal Rashi" (Mars sign) with "Peyarchi" (transit) into one clear label.
Mangal Rashi Calendar 2028 / Mars Rashi Calendar — pan-Indian generic name emphasising sign changes.
Mangal Peyarchi 2028 (செவ்வாய் பெயர்ச்சி) — Tamil / South Indian name; Peyarchi literally means “moving” or “transit”.
Mangal Gochar 2028 (मंगल गोचर) — North Indian Hindi name; Gochar means “movement across the sky”.
Mangal Rashi Parivartan 2028 — Sanskrit name emphasising sign transformation.
Mars Yearly Transit 2028 — English name used in Western Vedic astrology.

All refer to the same event set: each Mars sign visit for 2028 as a card, ordered chronologically. Because Mars retrogrades roughly once every 26 months and can re-enter the previous sign, 2028 may contain more sign-visit cards than the signs it actually visits — each retrograde re-entry counts as its own visit with its own entry and exit times.

Dignity filter chips

At the top of the timeline you'll find four dignity filter chips — Exalted, Own Sign, Debilitated, Neutral, and All — each showing a live count of matching Mars visits in 2028. Tap any chip to instantly narrow the timeline to just those visits:

Exalted — every Mars-in-Capricorn (Makara) visit in 2028. Sign-wide exaltation applies for the whole Capricorn visit; each such card also carries a nested Peak Exaltation (~28° Capricorn) sub-event window when Mars is at its sidereal strongest.
Own Sign — every Mars-in-Aries (Mesha) and Mars-in-Scorpio (Vrishchika) visit. These are Mars's two own rashis and considered strong. Aries also holds Mars's Mooltrikona degrees (0°–12°), which some traditions treat as "even better than own".
Debilitated — every Mars-in-Cancer (Karka) visit. Sign-wide debilitation applies for the whole Cancer visit; each such card carries a nested Peak Debilitation (~28° Cancer) sub-event.
Neutral — every other sign visit (Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Pisces). Mars's dignity here depends on aspects and Nakshatra placement rather than the sign itself.
All — clears the filter and shows every card again.

Retrograde and combust cards continue to show the amber/red info chips regardless of the active dignity filter — these are motion-state flags, orthogonal to the sign-based dignity.

Common questions this page answers

Between the dignity filter, retrograde badges, and combust badges, most Mars-timing questions can be answered in one or two clicks. Common examples:

When is Mars exalted in 2028? — click Exalted. The Capricorn card(s) show the full sign-wide exaltation window plus the nested Peak Exaltation (the exact 28°00'00" Capricorn crossing, about 38 seconds).
When is Mars debilitated in 2028? — click Debilitated. The Cancer card(s) show the full window plus nested Peak Debilitation moment.
When is Mars in its own sign (Aries / Scorpio) in 2028? — click Own Sign. Both Aries and Scorpio visits appear together with entry, exit, and duration.
When is Mars retrograde (Mangal Vakri) in 2028? — scan for the red Retrograde badge on cards. Nested station-retrograde and station-direct moments give the exact 60–80 day window. Some years have no Mars retrograde at all; others have one full retrograde spanning two sign visits.
When is Mars combust (Mangal Asta) in 2028? — scan for the red Combust badge. Mars conjoins the Sun once per ~26-month cycle, so a combust window falls in roughly one year out of two. Nested entry and exit moments give the exact window.
When is Mars in Capricorn / Aries / Scorpio / Cancer in 2028? — use the dignity filter for a one-click answer, or scroll the timeline to the relevant month.
When is Mars in Taurus / Gemini / Leo / Virgo / Libra / Sagittarius / Aquarius / Pisces in 2028? — click Neutral. All neutral-dignity visits are shown with entry and exit dates.
When are the best property / courage Muhurta Mars days in 2028? — classical rule: Mars direct + uncombust + in Capricorn/Aries/Scorpio. Filter Exalted or Own Sign, then rule out any window that overlaps a retrograde or combust badge.

What's inside each sign-visit card

Sign & entry / exit times in your local timezone, plus the total duration.
Sign-wide dignity — Exalted (whole Capricorn visit), Own (Aries and Scorpio), or Debilitated (whole Cancer visit) — the badge names the strongest dignity the visit reaches. Aries is not uniform: see the band breakdown below.
Retrograde sub-events — if Mars goes retrograde during this sign visit, the exact station-retrograde and station-direct moments are listed as nested rows.
Combust sub-events — if Mars enters and/or exits the Sun's combustion range during this visit, both boundary moments are listed.
Peak Exaltation / Debilitation sub-events — the moment Mars crosses the exact peak degree (28°00'00" Capricorn or 28°00'00" Cancer). Not a range: about 38 seconds, stretching past two minutes when the crossing falls near a station.
Dignity band sub-events — Aries changes dignity partway through, so every Aries card lists both windows with their own entry and exit times: moolatrikona 0°00'00"–12°00'00", then own sign 12°00'01"–29°59'59". Because Mars retrogrades, a single visit can cross that boundary more than once and the bands then alternate. Hover any band badge for its exact bounds.

How to use the 2028 timeline

The colored year-progress bar above the cards shows the whole year at a glance, with each colored segment representing one sign visit. Hover any bar segment to preview its start and end dates. Cards below give the full readout. Practical use cases for 2028:

Property and competition timing — find every window when Mars is direct, uncombust, and in Capricorn / Aries / Scorpio during 2028. These are the classical preferred Muhurta windows for Mars-signified action.
Retrograde awareness — every Mars retrograde in 2028 is called out. Vedic tradition considers these periods less favorable for launching competitive ventures, property deals, or elective surgery.
Combust awareness — combust windows in 2028 are called out for Mars-signified matters like property registration, athletic competition, and elective surgery.
Peak dignity moments — the 2028 peak-exaltation windows in Capricorn are the strongest Mars moments of the year and are prized for decisive action, competition, and anything demanding sustained drive. Mars reaches Capricorn only about every two years, so not every year has one.

How the 2028 events are calculated

Every sign entry, retrograde station, combust boundary, and peak-dignity boundary in the 2028 timeline is computed via Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsha, resolved to the exact ephemeris instant via binary search. Retrograde stations are found by tracking when Mars's sidereal speed reverses sign; combust boundaries by tracking the Sun-Mars angular distance against the classical 17° threshold from the Surya Siddhanta; sign, nakshatra, and peak-dignity boundaries by tracking Mars's sidereal longitude. No analytical formulas, interpolation tables, or approximations are used.
