Leo
With Mars not leaving Leo until 26th November, this was always going to be an important month for you personally and potentially even more so than your birthday month itself. Both in terms of what the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos can do for you now and the seeds this is able to plant for the future. When Mars returned at the end of September, it was to begin a new two year Mars cycle and to spend the next six weeks fuelling your passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit while looking for something to channel this into. This is something that Mars will continue to do until leaving, but by then he will have been here for two months.
Mars is slowing down and the slower a planet the more potent it becomes, but that is only half the story. For the first time in 12 years, Jupiter returned to Leo in June to begin a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion and it is his alignment with Mars that will peak on 16th November, bringing both to their most potent point. This is also when they will both move into a friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in an adventurous part of your chart. It is just before Mars leaves on 26th November that on 22nd November, as he does at this same time each year, the Sun will return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and into harmony.
With Saturn and Neptune turning direct in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery next month, the whole playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence is powering up. This isn’t something Mars is going to miss, for a retrograde turn in the New Year will see him turn around and in February 2027 he will return to spend another three months in Leo. By the time Mars turns retrograde in the New Year, he will have been in your income sector for six weeks, with his return on 26th November the start of his war on income roadblocks and barriers. Meanwhile, having retrograded back to spend the whole month back in your communication sector, Venus is part of a team that is making this a special month on the communication, social and relationship fronts.
