Mars enters Leo

Mars is in Leo from November 3rd, 2024, to January 6, 2025; later, it will return to Leo from April 18th to June 17th, 2025.

In Leo, Mars is proud, self-confident, and grand. We are spirited and have grand goals. We go after what we want in a direct, self-assured manner, desiring dramatic results. We prefer not to worry about details, and take the least complicated route to our goals. The sex drive is strong, and passion for life is high.

Mars in Leo can awaken a competitive spirit or drive. We’re more willing to take risks to get what we want. We also tend to make a splash, and we want to be in the driver’s seat. This transit is passionate, ardent, and dramatic. We seek to appear strong and prefer to be in the lead or the center of attention. We can be particularly angry if we feel disrespected or in an undignified position.

Note that Mars typically spends about two months in a sign, but this time around, it transits Leo for longer, although in a divided way. This is due to an upcoming retrograde Mars cycle that divides its time between Leo and Cancer. Mars is retrograde from December 6th, 2024, to February 23, 2025. Part of the retrograde cycle, Mars is in Leo (Mars is retrograde in Leo from December 6th, 2024, to January 6th, 2025).
