Mars moves into Leo on Saturday, May 20th, 2023 at 5:32am HST/ 8:32am PST.

Mars represents energy, action, aggression, and drive. It is  associated with our primal instincts and our ability to pursue our desires and take action towards our goals. In a birth chart, the placement of Mars can reveal our personal style of asserting ourselves, our motivations, and the ways in which we pursue our goals.

Leo is a fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. It is associated with creativity, self-expression, and passion. People with strong Leo placements in their birth chart may be charismatic, confident, and dramatic, and they often have a natural ability to command attention and take center stage.

When Mars is in Leo, there is a heightened sense of passion, creativity, and confidence, and it may inspire people to pursue their desires and take bold action towards their goals. We may have a flair for drama and enjoy being in the spotlight, and may also have a strong sense of pride and an inclination towards taking risks. However, there may be a  tendency towards egoism, arrogance, or conflict if not balanced properly.

What to expect:

1. Assertiveness and Boldness: Leo is a sign known for its boldness and confidence, and when Mars moves into Leo, we may feel more assertive and willing to take risks. We may be more comfortable asserting ourselves and standing up for our beliefs, even in the face of opposition.
