Later tomorrow Mars transacts ingress into Leo. Upon entering, he leaves behind a stinging memory of his alignment with inner planet companion Mercury and the opposition they shared with Saturn and Pluto. Feelings persist of being resisted, opposed, encroached upon, subverted, usurped and a collection of other discussions and efforts mounted that didn’t seem properly transacted. However, Mars, determined for all efforts to be noticed, shakes it off and blows by those reactions in the interest of manifesting results in life that dignify his existence and efforts on your horoscope’s behalf.
Mars in Leo intends to be confident, bold, determined and proactive while holding the realization that most everyone shares some semblance of the same inspirations and perceptions of dominion. There is a magnanimousness with Leo that realizes everyone deserves their slice of destiny. A clearly motivated Mars - one that operates from self assurance - feels no pressure of competitiveness and seeks to build no empires. Mars simply seeks to make the biggest splash possible, without flaming out - to mix metaphors and elements.
So what’s Mars’ jamboree thing that stirs all this inner hankering?

A note on a sequence of quincunxes in which Mars will next align. A quincunx signals impedance, not resistance. The slow down, thickening of plots or the bottle neck (which increases all pressures) felt as gravitational disturbance appear to induce a seeker to tweak the trajectory, examine and modify energy output as necessary, to perfect the pursuit. These next alignments do not reproduce the abject confrontations felt during the recent dealing with Pluto and Saturn.
They do, however, demand a perfection of self representation, dedicated action that supports that personal representation, especially as it refers to the innermost passions and how inclined a person might be to manifest results from those passions. Fruit can be gathered by adjusting the means and method of harvest.
