The planet Mars, will move through the fire sign of Leo from October 16, 2009 through June 6, 2010. Mars represents the masculine, assertive energies associated with our action oriented, inner warrior and how we are likely to access our personal power, initiate action, and direct our will toward getting our needs met and achieving our goals.
Mars in the charismatic and generous hearted sign of Leo can help us to connect with our passion and personal power, boost our self confidence and sense of self, activate the entrepreneur and entertainer within us, and support us in taking action and initiative toward those things which energize us, excite us and allow us to paint our canvas with bold, colorful strokes!
While it’s true that it usually requires persistence and determination to achieve anything of great significance, it sure helps to have something going for us astrologically. Mars in Leo can energize us, ignite our passion, and give us the self confidence we need in order to really go for it. Our job is to know what we really want and support our intentions with courage and conviction.
The dynamic expression of these energies can be theatrical, intuitive, highly creative, regal, charming, proud and charismatic. People who have powerful planets in the sign of Leo in their natal astrological charts often stand out because of the personal magnetism surrounding them, and their flair for the dramatic, such as Madonna, Cher, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Lopez and Bill Clinton.
It’s also true that many people who carry this energy are not necessarily well known public figures but may be well known in their communities for their contribution and support. They often feel called to leadership roles in which they inspire others, assist them in discovering and utilizing their own personal power, and motivate them to become proactive in public service. This may be a local football or basketball coach, the organizer behind the Music in the Park summer series in your town, or the coordinator of the local meals on wheels program.
This dynamic aspect couldn’t come to us at a better time in that, despite the slow down of the economy, Mars in Leo breathes fire into our spirit, helps us imbibe the energetic presence required to really show up in our lives and find ways to fulfill our dreams and inspire others.
