Mars the planet of action, drive, male entity, war, conflicts, etc. is going into the sign of Leo from 28th of September where will stay until 26th of November. The planet Mars rules Aries and partially the sign of Scorpio. Mars loves to be in fire signs and there it has a sign triplicity dignity. This dignity grants Mars to be more efficient and powerful.
People with Mars’ placements in Leo are usually acting highly confident but with dose of doubt in their actions. They can be perceived like natural leaders with nerves of steel and high confidence posture but that power only will be present if more or masses of people are behind them. This description is not bad it just shows us what is needed for this Mars to be activated. Most world known people have a Mars in Leo. The greatest leaders had Mars in Leo. Here we need to distinguish the difference between a leader and a militant. Most people who were militant leaders had Mars in Aries, Capricorn, Gemini or Scorpio. Mars in Leo needs a spotlight and a stand from where it will talk to people and secure their support or even trust. People with Mars in Leo have a lot of theatrical behaviour that can be very interesting and hypnotising to the audience. A lot of actors and pop stars also have it. With this placements gaffs and tricks are included in the bundle.
When we look into the transit of the planet throughout one sign, we need to pay attention to with what kind of energy the planet is going into the sign. Here is the chart of the exact moment Mars is coming into Leo:
Mars was in a sign of Cancer and in the last month and a half the planet had a rough roll out in that sign. Planet Mars has a bad dignity in Cancer and half of its way through it was in square with Saturn and in the end with Venus. It didn’t have any energy in Cancer so Saturn couldn’t wake it up because Saturn in Aries is also in bad dignity and is leashed its power. On the other side, Venus at its home in Libra where Mars again doesn’t have any power literally made the planet to act out like it’s invisible in square. Mars acts very devious and secretive when in Cancer and in bad aspects, so a lot of things were being plotted behind our backs in day to day life and in public life.
Now that Mars its flowing into a territory that is more familiar and more secure for the planet , it takes over the ruling dignity over Neptune, Saturn in Aries and Venus in Scorpio. The square with Venus immediately changes its nature because of Mars’ picking energy in Leo. Now Mars , after being agitated and challenged first in square with Saturn and being attacked by Venus from Libra in square with it , will attack in full force Venus. Venus the planet of love , hobbies, beautiful things and female entity, etc. will face the wrath of planet Mars. In this period of time we need to be cautious of conflicts between two sexes. There will be a lot of conversations about sexual inequality, rebellion and even altercations. Men will be provoked to act out of spite, jealousy and ego problems. Mobbing, control, manipulation and even abuse will be present in the next 3 weeks time. Venus will start its retrograde phase, so all of the broken toxic and abusive relations will be the light of day again. Mending and returning to abusive men will be so common in this time frame that many women will be even judged for these type of behaviour. Pluto Rx and Venus Rx in square will lure people in those ex relationships and then Mars will add abusing and aggressive tones to them. Be very cautious if you are planning to mend a relationship with a person that is abusive, I strongly recommend not to.
Mars trines Neptune will be first aspect that Mars builds when it flows into Leo. With this aspect in fire signs we can reach great heights and fall down from them easily. This trine by nature can bring a lot of confidence that is not built on solid ground. There can be present many delusions about our capacities that we can fool ourselves in the process. Only the ones that are realistic this trine can add the fuel and the drive for striving to the top.
Mars opposition Pluto. Here the two meet in discomfort. Two male pillars of horoscope are in dispute and in that dispute will be Venus. Like described in the paragraph above, this can be very dangerous for women if they are intertwined with abusive men. On the other hand this explosive energy that will last for a week and a half could be discharged by doing sport or passionate sex. Bondage and kink will be in the rise of our fantasises. Control and safe words will be more present even with the most conventional sexual experiences.
From 30th of September until 10th of October Mercury will be affecting the square with Mars, Venus and Pluto. There will be a lot of verbal fights that could escalate into physical ones too. Words and expression of people will be harder than usual. Take into the consideration that people will be saying things in affect of anger more brutal than they really think. Pay attention what you also say to other people because the karmic scale will be measuring the quantity of words coming out from our mouths.
From 14th until 22nd of October, Mars will be in trine with Saturn. This aspect will be very important for all of us. First of all, there will be a collective shift and disperse of energy that was bottled throughout the summer. This is the time of release of good and bad energy , this process can not be stopped. Mars was in square with Saturn while transiting throughout Cancer , all of that energy bottled up in it will explode and cause a chaos of enormous scales. We will be collectively under the impact, no one is safe. To make matters worse is Mars that will start flowing towards Jupiter, where this energy will be unattainable and expanded. Here in this time period I suggest that you look up in your charts throughout which house the Mars is in transit, that field of your lives will be highly impacted plus the house in Cancer. The whole world will witness mass disruption of day to day life. Natural, artificial or human causes, during this time the shift will happen. It will be striking as a lightning and that how is going to finish, in a blink of an eye. Leaders and people on high positions will have a lot of difficulties and all of the hidden stuff will surface for us to deal with it. On the other hand , on a personal level, we can use this trine that was activated by the Full Moon in Aries this year to grow and turn the shaky grounds into a foundation. Facing this energy by trying to block it , will bring us to our demise! But if we have the will to warp it and turn it into something more meaningful , then we will succeed.
Process of discharge will take time until Mars meets with Jupiter definitely from 4th of November until it leaves the sign on Leo on 26th of November. In this period we can concentrate onto prosperity and abundance. Here we will be finally granted with the pure energy to proceed and look into the future. Leo placements from 21st degree to 29th degree will be rewarded with gifts and life force. Gemini, Libra, Aries and Sagittarius placements also. The intentions will clear up and the path will be filled with enthusiasm and pure drive to succeed. Use this period to start and conclude the most difficult tasks or projects, you will be greatly rewarded. This period will be for the courages people to stand out so don’t hold back!
Mars and Jupiter will also be in a conjunction with the South Node, people who have placements on 27th and 26th and 25th degree of Leo will be dealt with good karmic dept. Rewarded in most cases and finally closing the undissolved things from past lives.
Until next Mars’ transit in Virgo,
