Leo Leo

March 25 ~ April 8

The light is returning—and it’s returning through you. All planets are now officially direct. And yet, before you step fully into the light, something is still asking for your attention, Leo.

Mercury is gaining on Mars in Pisces, activating your 8th house—the realm of intimacy, power, and Soul truth. This is not surface-level energy. Something far deeper is at work, pulling  your awareness inward, asking you to confront what lies beneath your strength, your confidence, and your sense of control.

You may feel an intensification of emotion—subtle, but undeniable. Conversations may carry more weight. Insights may arrive that reveal what has been hidden, both within you and within others. This is a space where truth cannot be bypassed. It must be felt, acknowledged, and integrated. Mercury brings awareness to what Mars is unearthing. As it gains ground, you begin to understand what has been working underneath it all. This is not about losing power—it is about reclaiming it from a deeper place. A more authentic place.

In addition, the transiting Nodes—the South Node (past) and North Node (future)—have been activating 8–9 degrees of Virgo and Pisces since mid-January, continuing through mid-April. This draws attention to how power flows between you and others—what you invest, what you receive, and what must be renegotiated.

Thursday, April 9: Mars enters fellow fire sign Aries, activating your 9th house of expansion, vision, and forward movement. The energy lifts. What was internal opens outward. A renewed desire may rise—to move, to explore, to pursue what calls to your spirit.

Tuesday, April 14: Mercury follows, entering Aries and your 9th house. Now understanding sharpens. What you have been processing internally begins to make sense. Ideas ignite. Direction comes into view. You begin to see the road ahead—and your place within it.

April 20 signifies a shift in pace, as Mercury moves ahead of Mars in Aries. This is when awareness leads action. What you now know, you are ready to act on. The fire returns—but it is informed, intentional, and aligned.

Even with all planets moving direct, the true opening doesn’t arrive until the final ten days of April and into early May. What has been building within begins to pour outward—creative, expressive, alive. And you step forward to be seen, to take up space, and to stand fully in the light of your own fire.
