Hear Me Roar, Mars in Leo

I start this post by saying Thank You to the person who inspired this posting…you know who you are.

Todays moon is dancing in Taurus making us seek our comforts and of course all that feels good in life. The moon is squaring off with Jupiter which tells us that we have over-extended our-selves in too many ways and might be feeling burnt-out...

Mars in Leo, October 16 – June 7
When we think of physical energy we must look at Mars. Mars is where we output our energy. Depending on the element which the planet placement resides affects the expression of energy. Mars in a water sign creates a kind of implosion for the individual as water is yin energy (emotion) and the natural inclination of Mars is to output (action), creating a tug of war. In Earth this energy is most concerned by acquiring physical materials, as they make the individual feel secure and safe. In the Air element, the energy is easily expressed through the mental realm and ideation is high. It is most comfortable in Fire signs as it is the natural ruler of the warrior sign of Aries.

These days Mars is dancing in the energy of Leo and what a happy place for Mars indeed. In its fellow Fire sign, Mars promotes courage and creativity (Leo energy). For the next 7 months we are being asked to look within and not be afraid to go after what makes us feel alive. And what is “that” you ask!? If you don’t know, then this is the beginning of a beautiful journey, one where you will feel supported and your confidence will blossom along the way. Remember, Leo rules art, creativity, passion and everything and anything that spells HAPPY. Although Mars is an aggressive energy, you still decide how you want to channel the energy and when in Leo it can only be lovely…remember to let your light shine!
