Today we have fiery Mars (
action, initiative, passion, anger) moving into equally fiery Leo (
enthusiasm, heart, love, ego, pride, creativity, courage) until September 5th.
Mars will be in conjunction with both the Sun and the Moon on Sunday at the time of the New Moon and Mars will be exactly conjunct the Sun next Wednesday - which ends whatever started at the time of the last Sun/Mars cycle (
something started mid June 2015) and launches something NEW
involving universal Leo themes (
and/or for us personally the themes of our Leo natal houses) - how/what we initiate, how we take action, how we express our passion, our anger issues or issues we are angry about, something involving our creativity or children or romance. Mars will be active during the August 7th Aquarius Full Moon, too.
If you are a Leo Sun (
or other fixed sign - Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio) this transit is going to wake you up. If you are an Aries rising or a Scorpio rising (
your chart is ruled by Mars) this is going to wake you up. Everyone's natal Leo house is waking up BIGLY!
We will all feel this one.
The great thing about Mars in Leo is that it not only provides that Martian kick off at the starting line, it also provides the Leo ability to stick with it once we get it started!
Leo is the sign of the lion - the king of the jungle. One of the best ways to understand the king of the jungle is to understand the little lions we keep in our homes - those creatures called cats.
Everyone who "owns" a cat knows what a misnomer this word is when applied to the feline species. Cats can't be "owned". We know it and
they know it. It is perfectly natural for them to convey an attitude of comfortable superiority.
This energy, this "presence" is what Leo is all about.
Everyone has Leo somewhere in their natal chart - a space we are meant to feel "comfortably superior". Ruled by the Sun, this is an area of life (
in addition to our Sun sign) we are meant to SHINE.
We are all about to get a whole lot more shiny. I think we will need those eclipse glasses no matter where we live now!
This is a great time to take action with something we are passionate about. Leo energy will not be ignored and doesn't like to wait, so if something needs to happen now - let's make it happen. The two weeks following Sunday's New Moon in Leo are PRIME make it happen days!
If we need courage, if we need confidence, if we need
attention - this transit will provide the fiery push to take the action we need to take. Fresh starts don't get any fresher than this.
We have the North Node in Leo now - it is important to focus on the things that call our heart forward. Our blood is flowing faster (
seriously I think someone needs to check on this) - our passions are stirred up!
Sometimes when we ask what our heart really wants we do not like the answer we get because we know it will force us to disconnect from something else - maybe something we used to love or maybe something that made/makes us feel safe or maybe something that is comfortable - start with those ratty old slippers, toss them!
Or because Leo's instinct is primal we (Aquarius polarity's shadow) start overthinking all the ways this new thing isn't going to work.
We use our minds and words to start creating problem "cords" and entanglements from our new thing to all kinds of crap we don't want to happen.
We don't need to do that right now. It is actually counter-productive.
Looking for dragons doesn't protect us from dragons - it actually creates the dragons!
We don't have to get too far ahead of ourselves - we don't have to know HOW we are going to do it. We just have to get clear on WHAT we want/need and take some kind of action. Life can use whatever action we take to get us where we need to go.
The energies on planet Earth have changed since the end of 2012 - we have lost the the energetic gatekeepers that kept things from happening too quickly - they have folded up shop and left the building!
We don't need them, but we still think we do.
We really can get there (wherever there is) from HERE.
(Donald Trump is President people, I mean, who ever thought that could happen - well HE did and that's how it did happen. Instead of, or in addition to if we insist, bemoaning that fact let's celebrate what it shows us is actually possible - so, what do WE really want?)
By the end of the year we will have Saturn coming home to Capricorn the sign he rules - we will have to work harder and there could be more restrictions on us. Things will be a bit more "set in pace" so we want to be doing/living what we love NOW since we could be doing it for a while!
What is the theme of your Leo house? This is the space of our lives where we are all "lightworkers" - we are all able to channel the Sun's (
Son's,
if you resonate with this) energy unfiltered. It's going to be a space/theme of life we LOVE. And yes, there will be work, notice the word lightworker includes those four letters, too! We are spreading light (
knowledge) through work.
Work doesn't really feel like work when we are loving it though, does it?
xo all
