September 23 ~ October 7

Something in you is red hot and ready to move, Leo. Saturday’s Full Moon in fellow fire sign Aries conjunct Neptune can awaken a desire to reach beyond the familiar and follow something that has been calling to you for a long time. You may not know exactly where it will lead, but supportive links to Uranus and Pluto suggest that taking a different road could open possibilities you cannot yet see. Sometimes you have to leave the known behind before you discover how far you can go.

Then Mars enters your sign on Sunday night, and the fire rises. After moving through the more private waters of Cancer, Mars in Leo puts energy and initiative back in your hands. You may feel more like yourself, more willing to take a chance and pursue what makes your heart beat faster. There is tremendous fuel available to you now, Leo. Make it count.

Tuesday, Sept. 29, Mercury trines the North Node in Aquarius, bringing greater clarity to your relationships. An exchange with another can help you understand where someone stands and whether you are moving in the same direction. Mercury enters Scorpio on Wednesday, Sept. 30, and soon forms a T-square with Mars in your sign and Pluto in Aquarius. This is potent fixed-sign territory, and no one involved may be particularly interested in backing down. Before turning up the heat, ask yourself what you actually want to accomplish. With Mars in Leo, it may be tempting to come out swinging, but not every challenge requires a battle.

Venus is also slowing to station retrograde in Scorpio on Saturday, Oct. 3, beginning a deeper review of what you need to feel at home within yourself. Something from the past may need your attention before you can give yourself fully to what comes next.

You have plenty of fire now, Leo. The question is not whether you can make something happen, but what deserves everything you’ve got and whether it serves your Soul’s evolution.
