Mars Entry in Leo

written late last week

It seems like a year has gone by since Mars moved into Cancer (August 4th).  We had an earthquake here on the eastern coast of the US and a hurricane, followed by torrential rains and floods a week after the hurricane was gone.  Thanks goodness Mars moves forward into Leo September 20th, because my natal Moon Mars square in the signs of Capricorn and Libra can't take much more of Mars in Cancer (in late degrees)!

In these last days of Mars in Cancer, the Moon has been in Aries.  First the Moon opposed Saturn in Libra (a tense and worrisome combination), then Moon squared Mars in Cancer further fueling tension, anger and just plain cranky energy in the collective.

For me personally these transiting bodies formed a grand cross with my own natal Mars-Moon square, creating a grand cross of double Moon and double Mars!!!!!!!  Ahhhh!  watch out, this is loaded.  This only happens once very two years thankfully.  I don't know that I ever noticed it before, but this time around I certainly have.

Mars, ruled by Aries, is known as the planet of war, competition, aggression.  The sign of Leo is also firey and quite aggressive when it is combined with Mars or Aries energy.

In general though, Mars entry into Leo should lighten things up as it trines Uranus in Aries, igniting fire into the collective rather than so much earth and water.  Those elements bring in lots of concern about security, home, money.  Now with the fire signs lit up, our inspirational and creative selves can move forward with more ease.

On the 26th of October, Mars and Saturn will be in trine aspect, so if there is something you want to establish in a concrete way, this is a good time to move forward with it.

Let's enjoy this fun loving Leo Mars energy now because Mars moves into Virgo after this invigorating Leo energy for six months!
