April 17 – June 17, 2025
Mars has officially shed his armor of saltwater and sacred restraint. After weeks of holding space in Cancer—where protection, emotional labor, and ancestral grit took center stage—our cosmic warrior is rising from the depths and stepping into the spotlight.
And he’s not just showing up.
He’s making an entrance.
🔥 This is the shift from retreat to reveal.
🔥 From protection to passion.
🔥 From inner fortitude to visible fire.
Mars in Cancer taught us how to fight without flinching—how to guard the softest parts of ourselves and others, even when no one saw the weight we carried. He held it down while all that Aries energy surged ahead, initiating fresh starts and brave first moves.
Now? It’s time to take the stage.
Mars in Leo is hot, proud, and bold. He’s acting on behalf of the heart—moving through the Sun’s sign like a blaze of sovereignty and self-expression. He doesn’t second guess. He doesn’t shrink. He dares to love out loud. To lead. To perform. To initiate from joy, not just survival.
So where is your life about to get a sovereign fire upgrade?
Here’s what Mars in Leo is lighting up for every rising sign:

A Closing Note: Let the Flame Catch Gently
While Mars is officially out of the waters of Cancer, he may still be carrying some emotional weight—like a sword just pulled from the depths, still dripping. You might feel the fire right away, blazing with clarity and drive. Or it may take a few days to strike the match, especially if inflammation, irritability, or emotional outbursts rise to the surface. Fire and water create steam—and sometimes, pressure.
So take it slow. Let your body catch up. Let your nervous system know it’s safe to want again.
Ease into this Mars. He’s just been through something sacred.
And now he’s asking:
What would it look like to move with courage… and not urgency?
