Mars is in Leo!

Mars in Leo for the next two months is stepping out while also getting supercharged by Jupiter and Pluto. After its long transit and retrograde through Gemini followed by a season of swimming in Cancer-ian waters, Mars is fired up and ready to join the party!

While Jupiter in Taurus in the next year might give us material gifts, Mars in Leo will have us desiring something more heart-filled and less material that money can’t buy. We might be seeking more recognition and adoration from those around us, to engage in more creative endeavors, and to express our more authentic selves.

However, Pluto in Aquarius might bring shifts to the larger communities that we engage in. Pluto right now reminds us that our community of like-minded people is the medium through which our authentic Leo-nian gifts can be received, acknowledged, and reciprocated. Community that embodies our highest ideals is the space where our unique contributions and talents can shine.

Read below to see how Mars in Leo is showing up for your (ascendant) sign!

Aries

While Jupiter in Taurus for the next year will be giving you a boost to your cash flow, offering you more material security and abundance, Mars in Leo in the next two months has you desiring recognition for your inherent creative brilliance, not just for the work you put in. You want to be celebrated and indulge in ways that money can’t buy (or that you might have to spend money on). However, Pluto in Aquarius might bring dramatic shifts in your community and friendships, driving you to focus more on cultivating and expressing yourself as an individual. Now is the time to center yourself and trust your community to evolve with you!

Taurus

While Jupiter in Taurus for the next year might uplift your personal profile and how you’re received by those around you, Mars in Leo over the next two months has you desiring connection to your roots or foundations, desiring home as a place where your authentic self can express. However, Pluto in Aquarius might bring dramatic shifts to the public self you’re cultivating, maybe through your career or business ventures, driving you to retreat to places that feel familiar for your sense of security. Maybe it’s time to paint the walls of your home, making your home a space of self-expression.

Gemini

Jupiter in Taurus for the next year may have the unknown, spiritual, or transpersonal forces around you pouring out gifts of abundance and opportunity into you. But Mars in Leo over the next two months has you desiring more tangible and down-to-earth interactions, for example, coffee chats and social invitations that bring out your more creative side. However, Pluto in Aquarius reminds you that leaning into the wisdom gleaned from mentors or gurus or even from your travels abroad provides you the wisdom that you can share with those around you. It’s time to write that blog or send that text!

Cancer

While Jupiter in Taurus over the next year gives you an abundance of social networks and friends in high places, Mars in Leo over the next two months has you desiring recognition for your creative brilliance that draws material resources to you. While Pluto in Aquarius reminds you that your interdependent relationships are also a source of wealth, changes in your shared investments may drive you to wanting more self sufficiency and independence. Trust your collaborators to recognize your worth. Drop the cash app!

Leo

While Jupiter in Taurus over the next year gives you more security in your career or public mission, Mars in Leo over the next two months has you desiring validation in a more interpersonal sense through relationships with those closest to you. However, Pluto in Aquarius reminds you that your closest partnerships should inspire your highest ideals as well as honor your authentic self. Dramatic shifts in your intimate relationships might drive you to change up your personal aesthetic. Maybe time to dye your hair, for example, and to trust who you attract in the process!

Virgo

While Jupiter in Taurus over the next year gives you an opportunity to engage in a new course of study or travel far, in reality or in your idea of self, Mars in Leo over the next two months might be drawing energy toward you that feels draining to your life force or requires too much physical exertion. However, Pluto in Aquarius reminds you that seeking out your community as a space of communal healing and self-care can mend the psychic wounds that ail you. Dramatic shifts in your daily routines or health habits may drive you to care for your physical body in a new way. Trust the healing process!

Libra

While Jupiter in Taurus over the next year gives you material security through your relationship with shared resources, maybe the ability to sustain yourself through sharing expenses, Mars in Leo in the next two months has you desiring others to show up for you not just materially but in terms of shared joy. However, Pluto in Aquarius reminds you that centering your own creative talents, hobbies, and passions allows those around you to share them with you and to recognize you for them. Go to that party or event, and trust the authentic self you’ve cultivated!

Scorpio

While Jupiter in Taurus over the next year gives you more security through your partnerships or intimate relationships, Mars in Leo in the next two months has you desiring more recognition for your creative contributions in your career or public image. However, Pluto in Aquarius reminds you that the home you’ve built rooted in your (maybe unorthodox) ideals is the foundation on which your true self is cultivated and shines through in your public life. Claim your public image as a creative, and trust the foundation you’ve built!

Sagittarius

While Jupiter in Taurus over the next year gives you more security or relief in your day-to-day life, maybe through a new work opportunity or a health routine, Mars in Leo in the next two months has you wanting to travel far or to study something new — maybe a new religion, philosophy, or language. However, Pluto in Aquarius reminds you that opportunities in your local community, just around the corner, or even virtually, can offer self-expansive opportunities. Time to do your research and get connected!

Capricorn

While Jupiter in Taurus over the next year gives you the material resources to enjoy life to the fullest , Mars in Leo in the next two months has you desiring more interdependent bonds with others to express your more passionate self. However, Pluto in Aquarius might bring dramatic changes to your material resources, providing a mirror to your relationship to money and sharing. Maybe it’s time to make that relational commitment, and trust that you will have enough to share!

Aquarius

While Jupiter in Taurus over the next year provides you an opportunity to move into a bigger or more secure and abundant home, Mars in Leo in the next two months has you desiring creative and expressive partnership to share it with. However, Pluto in Aquarius reminds you of the power you have to make an impression on those around you, drawing partners in with your idealistic, thoughtful, and community-oriented approach. It might be time to intentionally seek out deeper connections with those you know. Say yes to that date!

Pisces

Jupiter in Taurus over the next year provides you an opportunity to learn something new and get out and explore your environment. But Mars in Leo is driving you to put what you’ve learned into a work life that is more creative. With Pluto in Aquarius, you might need to tap into your spiritual or esoteric practices in order to infuse your daily life with ritual significance. Ritualize your days with activities that feed your soul. It’s time to put what you love on your calendar!
