Mars entered Leo today 6/11 at 6:34am pst

Moving out of the tender, flowing Cancerian waters into the persistent and passionate fire of Leo (under the Solar Eclipse), the energy today can feel exactly like Jhene sang “tired but I’m fired up, tired but I’m fired up!” (Born Tired - Jhene Aiko). Make sure to get your rest, as the days pass and we move further into this transit you will feel the weariness fade out. This transit is a force, propelling all of our efforts/plans/projects into high gear, taking them to the next level.

Leo is fixed 🜂 fire all about determination & elevation, if Aries is the spark (cardinal) fire, fixed Leo keeps the fire burning. Mars here lights a fire under all of our asses, finishing up with all the emotional processing from Cancer and now focusing on getting & maintaining what we want. Ego, pride, ambitions, confidence & competitiveness all become central now.

During this time the energy becomes a bit more self focused- rightfully so. Highlighting yourself, your gifts & your desires is one of the main themes & especially openly for the world to see. Flex your talents, demand excellence of yourself & follow through, take the lead, allow your radiance to inspire and penetrate others just like the sun. Be bold, unapologetic and don’t take no for an answer. Mars in Leo’s fire can not be stopped, it’s a constant source of warmth, vision & power when utilized well.

Of course this energy can definitely be destructive, if we don’t maintain and fuel our flames properly. Things like stubborn anger, disregarding others, stirring up drama for entertainment & attention, insecurity charged competitiveness etc. - can all flare up during this time when Leo energy is poorly tended to. For some of us centering ourselves will mean working through our insecurities, shame and negative projections. True, pure Leo force moves with Heart - knowing that anger is just fuel for change, negative attention & drama is empty & unproductive, that the only real competition is in the mirror & that there is an abundance of love and space for everyone to shine & thrive. So just know that if you choose to be a negative giant you will only shame, embarrass and harm the parts of you that really desire love and embrace.

You can center yourself and still consider others. Leo gives us confidence & security within that infects other to be/feel the same within themselves. Everybody shines & everybody eats. This is exactly what this transit can be for us if you choose it. ♡
