Mars Retrograde in Leo - Part 1 - Life-Changing Actions, Directions, Desires

Sagittarius season expands us into more of our spiritual gifts and personal truths that we are ready to embrace now. The Universe is sending you messages around what you have access to, even if you pushed it away or denied it previously. Venus in Aquarius and Mars RX in Leo oppose each other on Dec 12 which signals it is not a good time for relationships as you’ll be on different sides of an issue. But a helpful sextile from Mercury RX in Sagittarius brings our attention to the bigger purpose. We approach the Gemini Full Moon at 24 degrees on December 15, with the ruling planet of Mercury stationing direct on the same day. The Sun moves through the third decan of Sagittarius and makes an expansive conjunction to the Galactic Center on Dec 18 while also squaring Neptune in Pisces at 27 degrees on the same day. Otherworldly energies and realms are influential, and we may feel the need to detach from reality and responsibilities for a few days.

What has been hidden from humanity? What are the bigger stories of our planet? What is real? What is true? A big cycle of spiritual awakenings and cosmic revelations has been unfolding since May 2023 as transiting Neptune in Pisces squares the Galactic Center in Sagittarius at 27 degrees, and requires an unraveling of what we've been taught and told.Neptune dissolves, removes, and transcends the physical world, which can be even more confusing as it interacts with the spiraling energy of the Galactic Center that pulls in and expands us into higher levels of consciousness. This energy can also decalcify what has been hardened, rigid, or too strict in lower Sagittarius themes: belief systems, religion, dogma, supreme righteousness, ideologies, worldviews, judgement, and extreme opinions, to name a few.   Aquarian Diamond Lightcode Meditation: In this guided visualization, you will connect with more of your cosmic talents, flush out and release expired cellular energy, call in more of your star family connections and gifts from other dimensions, embed the earth's ley lines with higher cosmic frequencies, re-align your relationships with solar consciousness, and immerse into newly encoded diamond frequency potentials.

December invites you to seek your next vision quest as the Universe is speaking loudly this week through expansive messages. An active Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius makes a conjunction to the Sun at 14 deg Sagittarius on Dec 5 and 6, which is also the point of the Great Attractor, a magnetic hub of thousands of galaxies in the cosmos. Then Mercury RX opposes Jupiter RX in Gemini and squares Saturn in Pisces, which provides options to explore and test in order to realistically integrate the next steps into 2025. Be sure to jot down important thoughts before they move on! Mars stations retrograde on Friday, Dec 6 at 6 degrees Leo, highlighting what is passionately firing up within you that seeks deeper expression and understanding. Are you angry, resentful, creatively blocked, or feeling unsupported? Mars stationing makes these feelings louder this week, which requires greater personal responsibility. Neptune stations direct on Dec 7 as Venus enters Aquarius and makes a conjunction to Pluto at 0 degrees – a weekend of deep revelations and spiritual breakthroughs! The energy is big right now, and we’ll discuss more in today’s podcast episode.   ~ New astrology book is here! "Soul Growth Astrology: A Workbook For Realizing Your Heart's True Desires."

A journey of personal recreation will unfold into May 2025 as Mars retrograde in Leo takes us into deeper areas of our creative self, true power, and driving needs. Mars stations retrograde at 6 degrees Leo on December 6 and will encounter 3 oppositional energies in Aquarius into early January 2025. Themes may reveal where you are at war with your future self, and/or in a losing battle based on an unhealthy self-expression. The most powerful energy culminates January 1 to 3 as Mars RX in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius at 1 degree, which is the first time in our lives we are experiencing this extreme force of change and redirections. Ego deaths will be significant for those with exaggerated self-involvement or seeking excessive attention based on false stories and mean-spirited intentions. Your soul is guiding you to take a step back and look at where you feel powerful, especially when no external support may be showing up. In Part 1 of this topic on Mars retrograde, we’ll look at Mars in Leo specifically, and in Part 2 we’ll look at Mars retrograde in Cancer.     Your Cosmic Codes: 12 Universal Spiritual Laws In Your Astrology Chart ~ Journey through 12 Spiritual Laws and realign your astrology chart to create new energetic openings, manifestations, and experiences in your life.

November closes out with fresh motivation as the Sun in Sagittarius at 5 deg trines a slow-moving Mars in Leo on Nov 27, providing an inspired direction to follow for long-term dedication. The energy needs to connect with both your solar and heart chakras in order to move ahead. Then the Sagittarius New Moon on Dec 1 kicks off December with optimism and a sense of possibilities, although the Universe is saying to slow down consider all the details with Mercury retrograde in the same sign. Mercury RX opposing Jupiter RX in Gemini is overloaded, distracted, and exaggerating circumstances; it is wise to let your mind settle this week and access more of your creative spirit, which can receive more guidance intentionally. In other words, don’t believe everything you think! The Sun in Sag squares Saturn in Pisces on Dec 4, which is a time to check in on delays, challenges, or setbacks that can be re-worked and re-visited from a different angle. ~Aquarian Diamond Lightcode Meditation: Connect with more of your cosmic talents, flush out and release expired cellular energy, call in more of your star family connections and gifts from other dimensions, embed the earth's ley lines with higher cosmic frequencies, re-align your relationships with solar consciousness, and immerse into newly encoded diamond frequency potentials.

December begins with Mercury retrograde, the Sagittarius New Moon, and Mars stationing retrograde, which signals a time of harnessing our fiery intentions into the present moment for greater self-empowerment.

This is the biggest cosmic shift of the decade, as we bring more of our higher consciousness online to manifest a new dream and reality with the Universe.

The Sun enters Sagittarius on Nov 21 and makes an immediate sextile to Pluto in Aquarius at 0 degrees, giving life and renewed trust to your life path. Then a Fire Grand Trine connects the Sun in Sag, North Node in Aries, and Mars in Leo at 4 to 5 deg from Nov 24 to 27, which helps us assert what we want to create and make inspired moves.

Pluto moves through Aquarius until 2044 and will deeply transform both individual and collective energies on the planet. Pluto will be bringing up soul fragments to claim and integrate from other lifetimes, as you meet new parts of yourself from other timelines. Pluto in Aquarius will powerfully interact with planets in the fixed signs – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius – and change these areas permanently into new empowered expressions. Pluto in Aquarius will support the evolutionary journey of Air signs and Fire signs (Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius) as well.

Mercury retrograde begins on November 25 at 22 deg Sagittarius, and journeys back to 6 deg Sagittarius until Dec 15. Mercury retrograde makes an ongoing opposition to Jupiter RX in Gemini, with both in mutual reception and in their detriment, which brings up more misunderstandings, missed details, communication errors, and exaggerations. Both Mercury RX and Jupiter RX will be creating a square to Saturn in Pisces, which adds in a stall, challenge, or re-direction to plans. This Mercury retro is energetically bigger, and it's even more important to double check the details, verify facts, review changes, and expect errors to show up.
