Mars is back in Leo ⚔️👑

Mars is back in Leo and will stay there until June 17, but this stretch still ties into the story that started last fall.

He first entered Leo on November 3 (when he also opposed Pluto), stationed retrograde at 6 degrees on December 6, and then moved back into Cancer on January 6.

Until May 2, he’s retracing the final stretch of that path, wrapping up loose ends from the months of back-and-forth. What’s happening now isn’t new. It’s the last pass through territory you’ve already been walking for a while.

Now let's talk about what it means for each rising sign. 

Aries Rising

Forward motion returning to areas tied to creativity, romance, pleasure, and children.

This shift brings momentum where things were previously stalled or uncertain. There may be a sense of urgency or pressure to reclaim something that was delayed. The energy is visible and assertive, but shaped by the memory of past frustration, hesitation, or miscalculated risk.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: Desire returns to express, create, or reconnect with sources of personal joy.
• Public Action: Steps taken now are noticeable, especially in love, parenting, or creative work.
• Old Frustration: Lingering tension from prior disappointments may influence how choices are made now.
• Pressure to Prove: Motivation may come from a need to validate an idea, effort, or version of yourself that previously felt rejected or incomplete.
  

This house concerns children, romance, creativity, play, and speculative risks.
With this transit, you may experience:

• A revival of a creative pursuit or romantic involvement that had paused or fizzled
• Increased focus on your relationship with children or how you express affection and guidance
• A desire to enjoy life more fully, accompanied by the challenge of not pushing too hard to compensate for past delays

This is a time to act with intention. The fire is back, but so is the temptation to overreach. Clarity around your purpose will help channel the energy into something truly fulfilling.

Taurus Rising

Renewed momentum in matters related to home, family, or personal foundations often with urgency, visibility, or a drive to take decisive control.

What was delayed or internally fraught may now demand outward action. But this isn’t a clean launch. It’s more of a return to unfinished business shaped by past hesitation, emotional tension, or domestic miscalculations.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: Energy returns to address household or family matters that had gone dormant or unresolved.
• Public Action: What was private may now surface—changes in living situation, family dynamics, or property matters become visible.
• Old Frustration: Long-standing tension around home or emotional security may resurface with pressure to act decisively.
• Pressure to Prove: There may be a desire to assert control over your living situation or redefine your role in the family structure, especially if pride or past restraint was involved.

This transit directs attention to your inner world and private life, including your home, family, and the foundations that support everything else.

Expect:

• Movement around housing, living arrangements, or domestic responsibilities that had stalled or reversed course
• A renewed push to establish or reclaim control over your environment
• Emotional energy surfacing around family expectations, ancestral patterns, or inherited burdens
  

Changes may be motivated by pride, urgency, or the need to assert yourself more clearly at home. The challenge is distinguishing between productive action and reactionary overcorrection.

Gemini Rising

A renewed activity in communication, early education, neighborhood matters, and relationships with siblings or peers.

Situations that had stalled may now resume, often with urgency and greater visibility. Conversations, decisions, or plans that were once unclear or delayed are likely to resurface. The current momentum carries the influence of what happened before, including unresolved tensions or missed opportunities.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: Conversations resume and decisions are revisited. Information flows more freely, and the desire to act quickly may feel strong.
• Public Action: Communication becomes more direct. Messaging, writing, or announcements may reach a wider audience.
• Old Frustration: Lingering misunderstandings or miscommunications may shape how you speak, write, or respond.
  Pressure to Prove: There may be a strong desire to explain your position or assert control over a situation involving your environment or relationships.

This house governs siblings, neighbors, communication, early education, local travel, and short-term planning.

You may experience:

• Renewed conversations or disputes with siblings, neighbors, or those in your daily environment
• A shift in how you express ideas, possibly through writing, speaking, or day-to-day interactions
• Changes in routines related to travel, commuting, or local obligations

If past delays or disagreements are still unresolved, they may affect how current plans take shape. Use the momentum wisely and stay focused on clarity. The way something is said may matter just as much as what is being said.

Cancer Rising

A renewed push around money, possessions, or material stability. Delays or missteps now give way to visible, decisive action.

What was stalled returns with force, but not without the imprint of prior frustration. This isn’t the first attempt. This attempt is the one that follows hesitation, reflection, or financial miscalculation. Movement is swift, visible, and shaped by what didn’t work the first time.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: What you want to build, buy, or earn now feels urgent. Action replaces waiting, even if the path isn’t fully clear.
• Public Action: Decisions around income or spending may be more noticeable—external moves, not internal planning.
• Old Frustration: A prior financial delay or missed opportunity might shape how you act now—there may be a push to “make up for lost time.”
• Pressure to Prove: Money becomes a proving ground and decisions are more driven by pride, reputation, or the desire to reclaim momentum.

The focus turns to your resources and how you use them, including your ability to generate, manage, and direct material assets.

This transit may bring:

• A restart of something previously paused due to financial uncertainty or hesitation
• Urgency around asserting your earning power or financial independence
• Bold, visible shifts in spending or investment habits

Be mindful of reactive choices, especially those meant to prove something to others. Motivation is high, but so is the potential for overcorrection.

Leo Rising

A return to forward motion in areas of life that had previously stalled. This time with momentum, visibility, and pressure.

After a retrograde that crossed from Leo into Cancer and back again, the heat turns back on, but what moves now carries the weight of what didn’t. It’s not a clean slate exactly but it is a second chance with memory baked in.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: Where initiative had faded or actions felt blocked, movement returns with more fire and less patience.
• Public Action: This isn’t subtle. It’s direct, visible, and hard to ignore. Whether intentional or not, others are watching.
• Old Frustration: Delays or false starts from the past might shape how you respond now—there’s a sense of "I’ve waited long enough."
• Pressure to Prove: Decisions may come from pride or the desire to be seen, rather than what’s most effective.

The focus is on you, your identity, your body, your presence in the world.

Expect noticeable shifts in energy, direction, or how you’re perceived. This can bring recognition, personal reinvention, or a sense that you need to do something often in a visible or decisive way.

• Signals a turn in how you show up: a new appearance, tone, or action.
• May reignite personal goals you’d abandoned or feared to claim.
• Watch for reactive action born from urgency or pride, especially if you’re trying to reclaim something lost.

Virgo Rising

Renewed momentum in hidden, isolated, or difficult areas of life where progress had previously been slow or unclear.

This shift may bring action to situations unfolding behind the scenes or tied to illness, confinement, or secrecy. What moves now likely connects to circumstances already in play, though they may not have been fully visible until now.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: A private matter or internal struggle may return to focus with urgency or greater clarity.
• Public Action: Events may unfold in ways that become known to others, even if the origin remains obscured.
• Old Frustration: Lingering burdens or unresolved situations may contribute to current choices, especially if those situations were tied to loss, betrayal, or hardship.
• Pressure to Prove: The desire to reclaim control or outmaneuver an unseen challenge may motivate action, even in circumstances where discretion is required.

This house governs isolation, hidden enemies, confinement, illness, and secret matters.

You may notice:

• A renewed focus on private affairs that had been set aside or hidden from view
• Shifts in your relationship with institutions, caretakers, or those in positions of control over your health or freedom
• Greater awareness of what you have been carrying, whether related to illness, secrecy, or betrayal

If well-supported, this transit may reveal what had been concealed and help you avoid potential threats. It may also offer insight into how to navigate environments that require strategy, solitude, or subtle influence.

For those involved in spiritual work, research, or confidential service, this may bring a period of progress behind the scenes.

This transit calls for thoughtful action and attention to what lies beyond the surface.

Libra Rising

A return of energy to friendships, alliances, and long-term goals that had been delayed or disrupted.

Progress resumes in social or professional networks where momentum had slowed. The direction may feel clear, but the context includes what happened before. Actions taken now are often visible and may affect how others show up to support or resist your plans.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: Interest in collaborative efforts, future-oriented goals, or group involvement picks up again with urgency.
• Public Action: Social movement, whether online or in-person, becomes more active. Changes may be noticed across group affiliations or collective projects.
• Old Frustration: Previous complications with allies, mentors, or long-term plans may influence current choices.
• Pressure to Prove: There may be an urge to push a vision forward in order to regain credibility or reinforce commitment.

This house governs friends, supporters, alliances, social networks and movements, and long-range ambition.

You may experience:

• A reactivation of goals involving community, recognition, or shared ideals
• Changes in your relationship to patrons, collaborators, or people who influence your ability to reach broader objectives
• A stronger desire to align with those who share your vision while distancing yourself from what no longer fits

Movement here can open doors, but the impact depends on how well the past has been processed. Partnerships and plans benefit from clarity, not speed alone.

Scorpio Rising

Renewed movement in career matters, public roles, and responsibilities tied to reputation or authority.

What had stalled may now pick up again, but not without a trace of what came before. Decisions made at this time are likely to be seen and remembered. The desire to act is strong, and the actions taken now often have lasting effects.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: Goals that felt out of reach or were paused return to focus. This may involve professional roles, public responsibilities, or recognition.
• Public Action: Choices are visible. These may involve authority figures, leadership shifts, or reengagement with high-stakes ambitions.
• Old Frustration: Past disappointments or unfinished professional efforts may influence how current opportunities are approached.
  Pressure to Prove: The need to show capability, reclaim status, or confirm direction may be present, especially where external validation is involved.

In the 10th House

This house is concerned with career, public image, status, and authority.

You may experience:

• A return to a leadership role, public responsibility, or career direction that had been paused
• Increased visibility in your field or a shift in how others view your work or decisions
• Renewed effort toward long-term achievement, especially where goals had been delayed or derailed

The desire to advance can be helpful, but decisions will carry weight. What you begin or return to now is likely to define how others see you for some time.

Sagittarius Rising

Renewed momentum around themes of travel, belief, learning, and long-term direction.

Movement returns in areas where motivation had stalled or decisions had been postponed. There is energy to act, but the motivation is informed by what did not work earlier. The need for forward motion is strong and often visible.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: A desire to explore, expand, or commit to a larger vision returns. This may involve travel, study, teaching, or belief systems.
• Public Action: What was once an internal shift may now show up as a clear decision, commitment, or departure from the familiar.
• Old Frustration: Prior hesitation or failed attempts to move toward a goal may shape the way current choices are made.
• Pressure to Prove: There may be a strong desire to commit to a path, worldview, or goal in order to regain clarity or confidence.
  

This house governs foreign travel, higher education, philosophy, legal systems, and big-picture thinking.

You may experience:

• A revival of plans involving international travel, formal education, legal matters, or spiritual study
• A renewed commitment to a belief system or a desire to redefine your long-term direction
• Encounters with teachers, legal authorities, or spiritual figures who play a role in helping you realign with a broader purpose
  

Progress is possible, but movement should be grounded in clarity. Expansive vision is useful now, especially when it reflects what has already been tested by experience.

Capricorn Rising

A return of energy and attention to topics that had been avoided, delayed, or pushed into the background.

This includes matters related to fear, mortality, or financial entanglement. What moves now was never fully resolved. The impulse to act is strong, but the territory may still feel heavy or complex.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: Motivation increases to deal with what had previously been set aside because it felt overwhelming or uncertain.
• Public Action: Decisions may affect or involve others and can have visible consequences.
• Old Frustration: Unfinished emotional or financial matters can shape your current response.
• Pressure to Prove: There may be a strong desire to reassert control or show resilience in the face of past vulnerability.

This house concerns death, fear, the unknown, debts, and shared resources.

You may notice:

• A renewed need to face subjects tied to endings, loss, or what lies beyond your control
• Movement in areas involving taxes, inheritances, joint accounts, or financial obligations
• A heightened awareness of what is emotionally or financially owed, expected, or unresolved
  

Progress is possible, but not all outcomes need to be immediate. Give yourself space to move with intention, especially when stakes feel high.

Aquarius Rising

Renewed momentum in relationships, contracts, and public alliances.

Movement returns where there had been indecision, tension, or a lack of clarity. Agreements may now be pursued, partnerships reengaged, or disputes addressed with greater visibility and force. The dynamic has shifted, but the backstory is still relevant.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: Interest in connection, collaboration, or confrontation returns, often with more intensity than before.
• Public Action: Shifts may take place through direct conversations, visible decisions, or formal commitments.
• Old Frustration: Unresolved issues in key relationships or agreements may surface again as decisions are made.
• Pressure to Prove: There can be a strong impulse to define your position or demand recognition from others.

This house governs marriage, legal contracts, business partnerships, and open adversaries.

You may notice:

• A revival of talks or terms that were previously on hold, now pursued with greater urgency or visibility
• A shift in dynamics with significant others—personal, professional, or adversarial—that prompts action
• Increased focus on making your position clear or redefining the terms of cooperation or opposition

Forward motion benefits from directness, but clarity will matter more than intensity. Watch for the urge to force resolution or make a point that doesn't need proving.

Pisces Rising

Renewed action in areas related to work, health, and daily obligations.

The return of forward momentum affects responsibilities that had previously slowed, stalled, or slipped out of focus. The energy is direct and results-oriented, but the context is familiar. What moves now connects to what was already in motion, even if that motion had paused.

Main Themes

• Reignited Drive: You may feel an urge to take control of your schedule, improve your health, or reengage with work demands.
• Public Action: These shifts are not internal. They may be visible to employers, coworkers, clients, or others involved in your daily life.
• Old Frustration: Past setbacks related to work or health could surface and influence how you handle current tasks or decisions.
• Pressure to Prove: There may be a push to demonstrate capability or reliability, especially if you’ve been recovering, waiting, or unsure of your role.
  

This house centers on obligations, routines, service, and physical wellbeing.

You may notice:

• A renewed focus on managing health concerns or returning to a structure that had been dropped
• Shifts in workplace dynamics, especially where clarity or cooperation had been lacking
• Increased awareness of what must be done, paired with the energy to take it on, but possibly with too much force or too little patience

This is a good time to recommit to supportive routines, especially those that help prevent burnout or injury. The desire to catch up or prove you're back in control can be motivating, but should be balanced with care for the body and clarity around what truly matters.
