Ignite Your Confidence: How Mars in Leo Affects your Rising Sign!

Mars will enter Leo on November 3rd and will remain there in direct motion until December 5th. This shift brings a positive change in our energy! On January 6, Mars will retrograde back into Cancer, where it will stay until April 17. The time spent with Mars in Leo will provide a much-needed break from the emotional, indirect, and defensive energy associated with Mars in Cancer, which we have been feeling since September 4th. No offense to those born with Mars in Cancer—I appreciate your desire to protect.

Mars thrives in Leo, making it easier for us to express ourselves. This period is excellent for boosting our drive, taking decisive actions, embracing our sexuality, and articulating our desires. Mars feels confident in Leo, energized by visibility and the opportunity to carve its own path. It is motivated to pursue its own goals and believes in its potential for success. During this time, we are likely to feel more optimistic and enthusiastic in our actions, so don't hesitate to put yourself out there and assert what you want! The area of your chart ruled by Leo will become much more active, influencing the houses ruled by Aries and Scorpio. Below, I will provide a breakdown for each rising sign to help you understand how this will affect you.

However, there are a few things to watch out for. First, those born during the day should be cautious about clashing egos with others. It’s better to use charisma rather than brute force to achieve your goals. Second, Mars in Leo is a fixed sign, which is excellent for committing to something and seeing it through to the end. However, since Mars will retrograde from December 6 until February 23, any projects or initiatives started during this period may need to be reviewed, reworked, and possibly modified with some frustration. This is perfectly fine, as when Mars re-enters Leo on April 17, we will be better prepared.
