Mars enters Leo

Mars enters Leo

Mars is in Leo from April 18th to June 17th, 2025. Note that Mars first entered Leo on November 3rd, 2024, but later, while retrograde, it returned to the sign of Cancer on January 6th, 2025, and has been in Cancer since then. Today, Mars enters Leo once again, and this time, it will transit the sign through to the end.

In Leo, Mars is proud, self-confident, and grand. We are spirited and have lofty goals. We go after what we want in a direct, self-assured manner, desiring dramatic results. We prefer not to worry about details, and we 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 are in an undignified position.

Note that Mars typically spends about two months in a sign, but this time around, it transited Leo for longer, although in a divided way. This is due to a recent retrograde Mars cycle that divided its time between Leo and Cancer. Mars was retrograde from December 6th, 2024, to February 23, 2025. and was retrograde specifically in Leo from December 6th, 2024, to January 6th, 2025.
