Mars in Leo

Mars in Leo

Author: Arwynne O’Neill   –   Published: October 2024

Mars in Transit

Mars takes 685 days to go all the way around the zodiac, meaning it spends an average of 8 weeks in each sign, but that is wildly variable. It can spend as little as 6 or 7 weeks in a sign, or as long as several months, like the 2024-2025 transit. Mars enters Leo on November 3, 2024 and goes retrograde on December 6, while making an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius, which is a potentially volatile aspect.
 
Pluto is entering Aquarius for the last time on November 19, after a very long stay in the final degree of Capricorn and a couple of retrogrades since 2023. Try your best to avoid conflicts with others around December 6 because sparks could really fly and the effects could be lasting if tensions erupt into open aggression.
 
Mars will retrograde back into Cancer on January 6, and it will continue its retrograde movement until February 23, when it stations direct and moves back into Leo on April 18, where it will stay until June 17. So if you have Mars or any major planets in Leo or Cancer, you’ll want to take a note of those dates and the degree of your planets to see when they will be activated by the movements of Mars. These could be critical days for you.

Mars in the Birth Chart

The planet Mars can be in any house or sign because Mars’s orbit is outside the orbit of Earth. Unlike Mercury and Venus which, from our perspective on Earth, only ever travel a couple of signs away from the Sun. So for example, if you have a Virgo sun, you can only have Mercury in either Leo, Virgo or Libra, or one sign away.

Similarly, if you have the sun in Virgo, you can only ever have Venus two signs away at most, meaning Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra or Scorpio. But you could have Mars in any sign.

Mars is the planet of action of desire, activity, aggression and, as Alison Price likes to say, what gets you up off the couch. It also plays a significant role in relationships, along with Venus, as it describes the preferred style with which you go after what you want in relationships, career, exercise… and anything else that requires positive action and initiative.

For example, when Mars is in Aries, the sign that it rules (along with Scorpio), Mars is quintessentially independent, competitive, bold and fiery. Whereas Mars in, say, Cancer is not as naturally comfortable in such a watery, lunar sign.

Mars in Cancer tends to be highly emotional, maybe even passive-aggressive, and it may take a lot more to get the Mars in Cancer person fired up or moving. They may struggle with motivation, assertion, positive action. They may only be moved when their emotions are highly engaged, for better or worse.

Mars in Leo

If you have Mars in Leo here are some keywords that may resonate with you: dramatic, confident, expressive, dramatic, egotistical, possessive, jealous, competitive. This is definitely a drama king or queen placement.

They’re often driven to create or perform, and they have a high tolerance for risk. They tend to be idealistic but their anger erupts when they feel their pride has been injured or they’re not being respected. They can be self-righteous and egotistical but they always act from their heart.

 

They have a strong sense of right and wrong.  They can be very ambitious, whether in their career or in their pursuit of love or the object of their desire, but since Leo is a fixed sign, their energy is more about perseverance than initiating change.

They tend to make good leaders because they have a natural empathy despite their ego. They know what it is to need respect and unless you’ve done something to cross them, they will naturally extend that respect to you.

They’re passionate and fiery but not as impulsive as Mars in Aries. In relationships, they can be very magnetic, authoritative and proud. If they’re kept happy by their partner, they can be among the most loyal of Mars placements, but if neglected they won’t hesitate to seek out the attention and admiration they require outside the relationship.

If their heart isn’t in something, whether it’s work or a relationship, it’s very hard for them to get fired up and motivated. Picture the male lion relaxed at the center of his pride, being fed by the female huntresses and lolling in the grass, satiated and regal. Now picture a solitary lion in a zoo; listless, bones protruding, hair matted, thousand-yard stare on his face. Is there anything sadder or more out of place?

If you have Mars in Leo and you feel like the lion in the zoo, some things that might boost your morale and motivation are:

 

  • Fall in love, passionately and completely. Devote your dramatic urges and desire for over the top self-expression to be fully focused on your object of desire.
  • Take up a competitive sport, preferably with an audience. Join an acting or improv class, learn an instrument, or talk to your boss about a promotion.
  • Stand up for someone who is being overlooked or not living up to their potential.
  • Teach others one of the many skills you’ve mastered; provide guidance, moral support and encouragement.
There is no expression of pride and mentorship quite as genuine as that of Mars in Leo. When the Sun King shines his rays on you, it’s almost impossible not to feel warmed and expanded by their attention!

 

Mars in Leo in Relationships

According to Steven Arroyo’s excellent book, Person to Person Astrology, Mars in Leo has a fondness for living life to the fullest and delights in participating in group events, social rituals and robust, physical activities of all kinds. They usually have a big personality with a dramatic flair and a friendly nature, a knack for telling stories and jokes and an instinct for entertaining and encouraging others. They’re often good at sales professions and have a unique capacity to vitalize organizational efforts. They like to be in control.

Their overall tendencies are dramatic self-assertion, warmth expressiveness and abundant vitality and creative flair. They need to assert themselves dynamically and creatively, but may be seen as pushy or domineering and their physical and sexual energy is stimulated by attention and demonstrative generosity. They need to be complemented and appreciated for their sexual, physical or creative prowess.

Gardening with Astrology

Use the power of astrology to improve your outdoor living space.

A garden has much to offer and can be a place for rest, rejuvenation and meditation.

You can create a green area to soothe your soul.

To find that relaxing spot in your backyard, here are a few lighthearted suggestions that will allow you to align your outdoor environment with your zodiacal sign.

 

 

The Planet’s Dominion over Plants

In astrology, all plants fall under the dominion of the planets.

The flowers, shrubs and trees suggested here are chosen for their association with the zodiacal sign that each planet rules.

If you are not the gardener in your household, get the person who is Mr. or Mrs. Greenfingers, find their sign, and put them to work.

Discover the perfect garden for your home with the help of the ancient art of astrology!

You may choose to read the dominant sign in your chart (usually the Sun-Sign or Ascendant), and some consideration could be given to the condition of your sixth house, which pertains to things you do everyday and to small plants.

 

Aries

Overheard in the Ram’s garden:

 

“I am now going to plant the first seedlings.”

“Only now? But you’ve lived here for three years!”

“Yes, now I’m going to start!”

 

To get things off to a quick start, invest in some help so your garden can appear overnight as if by magic.

The Mars-ruled are keen to have annuals, as they make an instant improvement.

There is always something new going into the Arian garden, like introducing fresh color combinations each year.

Select flowers and shrubs with red petals or bracts and plant quick-growing climbers like beans and sweet peas.

Enjoy hot produce from the vegetable patch for flavor in cooking, like ginger and chili.

Arian gardeners should own super-sharp secateurs for pruning, shaping, and cutting back.

Where trees are concerned, a flame or pepper tree will be suitable. Having dogs provides much needed action.

Place a fire pit on the patio for use on cool evenings to encourage heated conversations.

 

Suggested Plants for the Aries Garden

Suggested plants for the Aries gardener are; anemone, chives, chilies, capsicum, garlic, lupine, tiger lily and the hawthorn tree.

 

Taurus

Overheard in the Bull’s garden:

 

“Are you building your garden on clay or sand?”

“Well, it’s all earth, really!”

 

Strong Taureans will probably enjoy working with the earth, actually getting down into the dirt and crumbling and tilling the soil.

They can work their way through the whole garden by double digging and augmenting the earth.

Adding organic matter and then top dressing with mulch are essential in the Taurean garden.

Introducing earthworms will improve the soil condition beautifully.

Acquiring a small used-farm plow as a feature will remind the Bull gardener of the land and how it is worked.

If there is room, a real beehive where bees can make honey will appeal.

This sign likes to have a productive garden.

Taking it slowly and accumulating beautiful plants will bless you blessed with rich abundance in a few years.

 

Suggested Plants for the Taurus Garden

Suggested plants for the Taurean garden are; all root vegetables, roses, creeping Jenny and all local plants.

Suitable trees are silver birch and elder.

 

Gemini

Overheard in the Twin’s garden:

 

“These two plants look the same as two peas in a pod.”

“Yes, but just because they look the same doesn’t mean they are the same.”

 

Twins may encourage butterflies to visit their garden by introducing certain plants.

It is important for Geminis to bring pairs of plants into the garden so they can see them next to each other.

Geminis love labeling species so locals can learn the plant names, too. Third­ sign people like to talk to their plants. It is beneficial both to the plants who like the vibrations and to the Twins, who always have a lot to say.

This is the person who may keep a pigeon coop.

What will the neighbors think of Gemini’s yard?

You’ll find out when you get together over the fence to discuss it.

The Twins will probably enjoy a corner seat for reading interesting articles about all the things they could be doing in the garden if only they didn’t have to read that book first.

 

Suggested Plants for the Gemini Garden

Some ideas for Gemini’s garden are: caraway, hazel and orchids.

Add some hybrid plants.

 

Cancer

Overheard in the lunar garden at dusk:

 

“I prefer the garden in the moonlight.”

[KLUNK]

“It’s a New Moon tonight.”

Rubbing shin, “Yes, I see, well, I can’t really see.”

 

Gardening by the Moon is well documented.

Simply put, plant during the waxing phase and harvest in the waning phase.

To sooth the Cancer soul, they could try a circular lawn In the middle of the lot with deep borders all round the edges.

Choosing plant material with white flowers is a good idea, because white petals are visible at dusk and attract moths. It is the classic green and white garden that appeals here.

Light colored flowers will reflect moonlight in the evening.

Cancerians will feel good walking around the curve of the lawn enjoying the fragrance of the evening flowers under the beams of the Moon.

In the vegetable patch, they can try watermelons and cucumbers, which are water dense, and the fruits are full and round.

Our lunar gardeners will enjoy feeding, seeding, and watering their garden.

 

Sugested Plants for the Cancer Garden

Suggested plants for the Moon-ruled garden are; cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, iris, lily, lettuce, some poppies, moonflower, lotus and white lilac.

Add white flowers.

 

Leo

Overheard on the Lion’s savanna:

 

“You have created a lovely garden.”

“Thank you, I did it all myself.”

“What, all that digging in the soil?”

“No, not the dirty work! I told the guy what to do.”

 

If you are going to make an entrance, then you need a wonderful arch. Place it where Leo can pause when entering the garden. Plant lots of yellow and red flowers and shrubs.

As a special treat in the solar-ruled garden, create a croquet game on the lawn to play with the kids. Of course, it will only be used for a while, then the hoops and mallet can be discreetly tucked away to allow the garden to return to the serene place Leos love.

A lounger for lazing on a sunny afternoon will be appreciated.

To be honest, most Leos would like to have peacocks in their garden. These extravagant birds are very regal. With a well-stocked flower-cutting garden, our Leo gardener has the flair to produce a good supply of fresh flowers for the vase.

All produce from the Sun-ruled garden can be bestowed on friends and family as gifts. Exquisitely wrapped gifts of seeds, cuttings, flowers, and vegetables will be given from the heart, as they are the fruits of Leo’s creation.

 

Suggested Plants for the Leo Garden

Suggested plants for Leo’s garden are: rosemary, marigolds, bay and ash trees, mistletoe, sunflowers, king proteas, and any plant specimens that no one else has.

Virgo

Overheard in the Virgin’s modest garden:

 

“Gosh, is that a weed?”

“I’ll just check my cross-referenced plant list, one moment … ah…, the garden design diagram …um, the detailed list, er …”

 

An herb garden is particularly suitable for a Virgo.

These delicate plants are useful, edible, and medicinal.

Herbs can be neatly labeled and different varieties of, say, mint can be compared in future taste tests.

Virgo will immerse themselves in the meticulous record-keeping required for herb growing.

Virgos will no doubt inform others of the different varieties planted in their formal beds.

A traditional herb garden layout with a circle defining planting placements appeals to Virgo.

This sign finds the precision of the structure soothing to the soul.

They can use a record book and keep a journal of all the plants and developments in their garden.

The Virgin will look back in years to come and see which plants really work well in which area.

Find a space to build a gazebo and place a table there so you can enjoy your gardening scrapbook work – oops, sorry, record keeping.

 

Suggested Planets for the Virgo Garden

Some specimens Virgo can try are; dill, fennel, narcissus, parsley and hazel.

 

Libra

Overheard while Libra is trimming the topiary:

 

“Just a bit off the left…” (snip)

“Oh, now a bit off the right…” (snip)

“Hmm, just a trifle on the left…” (snip)

 

I knew a man once who had a brownfields garden (brand-new home and not a blade of grass, just soil).

He wanted to prepare the ground for the lawn, which had been ordered and was to be put down the next day.

Mr. Libra spent the whole day raking the soil back and forth over the garden, endlessly, to reach the perfect level for the purpose of laying sod.

It is essential that there be no uneven areas to upset the Libra balance and prevent them from enjoying the rest of the garden.

Installing a bat house at the end of the property will encourage these flying mammals.

In the evening, these fascinating creatures can be seen swooping out to search for mosquitoes.

It is a conversation point for Librans to test the status quo of their guests at their many soirees.

A teeter-totter or seesaw is a great idea for Libra’s garden, and if anyone needs a hammock, it is Libra. Position it well out of range of a draft where they can gently rock.

A soft wind chime can induce relaxation.

They love scented plants, which can be used to make potpourri, and the fragrance helps maintain their delicate equilibrium.

 

Suggested Planets for the Libra Garden

Suggested plants for the Libran garden include; roses, gooseberry, all mints, apple trees and some aloes.

Add any soft green plants with fragrance.

 

The Scorpio Garden

Overheard in the Scorpion’s secret hideaway garden:

 

“[silence]”

“[more silence]”

 

Of all the signs, the Scorpio gardener desires a compost heap.

Maybe even three, one for this week’s, one for next month’s, and one for next year’s beautiful sweet smelling blend.

This friable, black, recycled product can be returned to the earth to add enrichment.

Scorpios are sound in the knowledge that this is part of Mother Earth’s master scheme.

Plan to have a secluded space, perhaps with a bench, so that Scorpio can sit quietly enjoying their outside space without the neighbors looking in.

Scorpio will often bury boxes in the garden.

Well-drained soil is required.

Create a pool for frogs, toads and a few lizards to enjoy.

If the body of water is large enough, they can try adding turtles, too.

When space permits, a bog garden that filters and recycles water from upstream is something all Scorpios will appreciate.

 

Suggested Plants for the Scorpio Garden

Scorpios desire to have in their secret garden plants like; basil, figs, foxglove (digitalis), cactus, onions, nightshade, carnivorous plants.

Add any plant whose botanical name includes the name graveolens.

 

The Sagittarius Garden

Overheard on the Archer’s prairie:

“In Europe, gardens are going vertical.”

“Oh, yes?”

“Indeed, It’s a growth area, and did you know that trees are the new black…the sky’s the limit!”

 

Sagittarians will be happy with plantings of blue gladiolus and hollyhocks at the back of the bed.

Plant cornflowers at the front of the beds, near the edge.

Allow space for a path for strolling if room permits, or maybe lay a small labyrinth using small plants such a box hedge.

This garden would do well with an ornamental bridge crossing from one area to another.

Try to find an armillary sphere, or astrolabe, and place it on a large, high column, with the arrow pointing to the sky, so it can be seen from every vantage point in the garden.

Centaurs enjoy having a garden that can be left unattended for a few weeks at a time while they enjoy their travels, so all the plants in their garden will have to be hardy and indigenous.

Trees are preferred, with plants having tall growing spires of green. Strawberry runners that can pop up all along a border will amuse the Archer.

 

Suggested Plants for the Sagittarius Garden

Sagittarians could try growing; any blue flowers or foreign species, borage, carnation, asparagus, sage, wheat, strawberries, maple, chestnut, rushes, oak trees and all tall, leggy plants and runners.

 

The Capricorn Garden

Overheard in the Sea Goat’s garden:

“Why are you planting a pear tree?”

“Well, the fruit will be ready for the grandchildren.”

“You don’t have any kids.”

“Yes, but, you know – pears for your heirs.”

 

Now, Saturn-ruled folk are quite happy to plant trees and vines that take ages to come to fruition, such as pear trees, which may take up to twenty-five years to bear.

But the attraction for Capricorn is that the produce will be available for the next generation.

They seriously consider those that will come after them, so slow-growing plants appeal.

The Saturn ruled appreciate a sundial tucked away in the garden so they can verify that they are in time with nature. For posterity, Sea Goats may bury a time capsule to benefit later generations.

Establishing ivy against a fence, so it can be seen during the cold winter, appeals to the Capricorn gardener.

Small trellises here and there will break up the space and give it definition.

Perhaps they may build a stonewall to contain a raised bed.

This satisfies two needs; old folks can sit on the wall and weed, and the hard structure will limit and restrict the growth of any invasive plants and rampant root systems.

Container planting is a good idea for this sign, as the plant’s growth can be curtailed by its pot.

 

Suggested Plants for the Capricorn Garden

Suggested plants for Capricorn’s garden include; barley, spinach, ivy, yew hedges, poplar, elm, quince, angelica, Indian hemp and any flowers with black petals.

 

Aquarius

Overheard in the Water Bearer’s garden:

  • “Plants have rights, too, you know.”
  • “Really?”
  • “Yes, especially the triffids.”

In the Aquarian’s garden, place a small weather vane that can be seen from the house. This will allow the Water Bearer to monitor wind direction in the garden.

Growing a variety of tall grasses at the borders will serve two purposes: first, breezes will make their fronds sway in undulating waves, adding a pleasant rustle.

Secondly, they will provide nest-building material for wild birds, who can then weave them to use in building their homes in nearby trees.

An abundance of home-building plant material will encourage birds nearly as much as water in the garden.

The Uranus-ruled will find satisfaction watching wild birds. Aquarians are likely to protect our feathered friends from predators such as the cat next door.

 

Suggested Plants for the Aquarian Garden

Suggested plants for the Aquarian garden are; grasses, olives, some orchids, and any unusual or unique specimens. transonic repellents come in.

Water Bearers will appreciate the self-seeding of plants through the action of the blowing wind, creating drifts of textures and colors.

 

The Pisces Garden

Overheard in the Fishes’ garden:

“Gosh, I can’t imagine where that plant came from.”

“It looks a bit fuzzy.”

“Yes, I could have sworn it wasn’t there last year”

 

This is the garden with the overgrown look.

There is a slightly unkempt overflow of flowers, herbs, and trees that make up a Piscean garden retreat.

A good idea is to mount mirrors among the plantings, against the walls and pillars, to give the impression of more depth.

Looking glasses give the illusion of other garden rooms, which can open up all kinds of possibilities.

They will enjoy a fishpond; not just a small shallow one, but a deep pond for Koi, where Neptune-ruled Pisces can peer into the gloom and imagine any number of dreams.

Those with the Sun in this last sign of the zodiac prefer flowers with single petals, such as cosmos, daisies, and the purple coneflower.

The simplicity of the shapes will appeal to the Piscean gardener.

A good idea is to photograph the yard at the equinoxes and solstices to have an image for enjoyment.

Watch out for weeds (I use the term loosely) of all kinds.

These gardeners start with a vision of how they want their garden to look, but the plants just seem to get away from them.

The glamour in this yard will usually come from the owner herself.

 

Suggested Planets for the Pisces Garden

Suggested plants for the Fishes garden include; cosmos, purple coneflower, spruce, opium poppy and tobacco plant.

Introduce some water lilies, perhaps in the Koi pond.

Really, anything goes.

The Leo Creator Economy in the Age of Aquarius

The Leo Creator Economy in the Age of Aquarius

The Creator Economy

Overview

We are now stepping into the era of the creator economy, where independent and individual creators can thrive.

This unprecedented phenomenon marks a significant departure from historical norms.

The advent of the internet has swung open wide doors for creative individuals to craft and showcase their content, products, and expertise to a vast and diverse audience.

The creator economy refers to a modern economic ecosystem in which individuals, often referred to as “creators,” leverage digital platforms and technologies to produce, distribute, and monetize their own content, products, or services directly to their audience or consumers.

This concept has gained significant prominence due to the rise of the internet, social media, and various online platforms that enable individuals to showcase their talents, expertise, and creativity without the need for traditional intermediaries like publishers, record labels, or studios.

Podcast Episode

Listen to this podcast episode for a richer experience.

 

Key Features of the Creator Economy

Content Creation

Creators produce a wide range of content, such as videos, articles, podcasts, music, art, photography, and more.

The content can be educational, entertaining, informative, or inspirational, catering to specific niches and audiences.

Digital Platforms

Creators rely on digital platforms like YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Patreon, Substack, and other websites to share and distribute their content.

These platforms provide a global reach and offer tools for engagement, interaction, and monetization.

Direct Audience Engagement

Creators often build a dedicated and engaged community of followers, fans, or subscribers.

They interact with their audience through comments, messages, live streams, and other forms of direct communication.

Monetization Strategies

Creators monetize their work through various methods, including ad revenue, sponsorships, merchandise sales, subscription models, crowdfunding, and offering premium or exclusive content to their most devoted supporters.

Individual Branding

Creators develop their personal brand, which encompasses their unique style, voice, values, and expertise. This branding helps them stand out and build a loyal fan base.

Flexible Work Environment

The creator economy offers flexibility in terms of work location and hours. Creators can work from anywhere and often set their schedules according to their preferences.

Entrepreneurial Opportunities

The creator economy enables individuals to turn their passions and talents into viable businesses.

It empowers them to become entrepreneurs by building and growing their own brands.

Challenges and Risks

While the creator economy offers opportunities, it also comes with challenges such as maintaining consistent income, dealing with algorithm changes on platforms, and managing online harassment or negative feedback.

Overall, the creator (Leo) economy represents a democratization (Aquarius) of content creation, allowing anyone with talent and dedication to potentially reach a global audience and earn a living from their creative endeavors.

It has transformed the traditional media landscape and reshaped how people consume and engage with content.

The Virgo/Pisces Shift

The Age of Pisces

Over the course of the past two millennia, individuals often played the role of workers within a collective framework, resembling the Virgo archetype.

This paradigm was often at odds with the principles of the church, characterized by the Pisces energy, where themes of sacrifice and redemption held sway under the influence of those who wielded control over the labor force (Virgo).

The dynamic interplay between Virgo and Pisces has now yielded ground to the emerging energies of Leo and Aquarius.

Value Creators

Education Shift

Individuals such as YouTubers, writers, influencers, and creators of educational content are experiencing a surge in prominence.

Learning is no longer confined to traditional institutions like universities or religious establishments; now, you have the opportunity to glean knowledge directly from individuals.

In this era of the creator economy, and particularly within the Age of Aquarius, everyone possesses unique passions that can be skillfully packaged and delivered through the avenue of solo entrepreneurship.

Leo

Creative Independence

Leo embodies the essence of the creator, finding its resonance within the realm of the fifth house, known for its profound creativity.

The ascent of creative principles finds its symbolism in Leo, juxtaposed with its counterpart sign, Aquarius.

The present landscape reveals an unprecedented surge in independent enterprises.

The capability to encapsulate one’s skills and unique expertise to establish a business has never been as prevalent as it is now.

The Age of Aquarius

Dawn of the New Age

The Age of Aquarius dawned around the year 2000.

The Age of Aquarius made its initial appearance with the harnessing of electricity, a development around the 1830s closely following the discovery of Uranus on March 13, 1781.

Aquarius

Aquarius is the sign of innovation and the internet, smart phones, computers and all manner of tech gadgets. People born under the sign of the Water Bearer are often associated with unique and unconventional traits.

Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, which adds a touch of innovation, unpredictability and originality to their character. These people are often known for their independent and forward-thinking nature.

Strongly Aquarius folk thrive on creativity, new ideas, and intellectual pursuits which makes them great problem-solvers and visionaries.

Aquarius Seems Sociable

Being friendly and seemingly sociable are strong characteristics of Aquarians.

They possess a genuine concern for humanity and often engage in humanitarian efforts.

The Uranus ruled ability to connect with people from all walks of life makes them excellent communicators and team players.

Aquarius Personal Style

One of the distinctive attributes of Aquarius is their emphasis on individuality and a desire to stand out from the crowd. They are unafraid to challenge societal norms and carve their own paths.

This trait can manifest in various ways, from their personal style to their choice of career or hobbies.

Aquarius and Relentless Innovation

Aquarius is symbolized by the Water Bearer, which signifies the flow of knowledge and ideas.

This symbolism underscores their role as forward-thinkers and carriers of innovation.

They have an innate curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, which drives them to explore new concepts and push boundaries.

Aquarius Stimulates Mental Connections

In relationships, Aquarians value mental connections and intellectual stimulation.

They seek partners who can engage in deep conversations and share their passion for learning.

While they might seem emotionally reserved at times, they genuinely care for their loved ones and express their affection in unique and unexpected ways.

As you embrace astrology as a creative and inspirational tool for living your best life, you might find that exploring your Aquarian traits helps you tap into your natural inclinations.

Embracing your independent spirit, nurturing your creative pursuits, and channeling your humanitarian instincts can empower you to navigate life’s journey in a fulfilling way.

Pluto in Aquarius: 2022 – 2043

Pluto entered Aquarius starting in 2022 until 2043. It will tenant the realm of the fixed air sign for approximately two decades.

This era coincides with the emergence of Chat GPT and the remarkable rise of accessible artificial intelligence (AI).

This significant transformation in our approach to various projects is poised to gain momentum over time.

The advent of cyber currencies (Uranus in Taurus) serves as a tangible manifestation of this impetus for innovation, embodying the collective voice of humanity.

Gender Fluidity

A notable facet of the Age of Aquarius is embodied in the concept of gender fluidity.

Opposition Aspect (Leo/Aquarius)

Projection and Freud

The concept of projection is inherent in the dynamic of any pair of opposing signs.

Projection is a defense mechanism that Sigmund Freud first introduced as a way to understand how individuals deal with emotions and thoughts that they find difficult to accept within themselves.

Projection involves attributing one’s own thoughts, feelings, or desires onto someone else.

In essence, it’s a way of displacing internal conflicts or uncomfortable aspects of oneself onto external people or situations.

This can provide temporary relief from dealing with those feelings directly.

For example, imagine someone who is struggling with feelings of jealousy but is unable to acknowledge this emotion within themselves.

They might project these feelings onto a friend, accusing the friend of being jealous of them instead.

In reality, it’s the individual who is experiencing jealousy, but they project it onto another person as a way of avoiding the discomfort.

Unconscious

Projection often occurs unconsciously, meaning that you might not even be aware that they are projecting your own emotions onto others.

It’s a defense mechanism that helps protect the ego from distressing or conflicting thoughts and emotions.

Projection and Jung

This concept has been widely studied and discussed in psychology. Carl Jung, a prominent Swiss psychiatrist, also explored projection as a way to understand the interactions between the conscious and unconscious mind.

He believed that projection could reveal hidden aspects of the individual’s psyche, offering insight into unresolved inner conflicts.

Projection and Personal Growth

Understanding projection can be beneficial for personal growth and self-awareness.

By recognizing when you might be projecting your own feelings onto others, you can gain insight into your own emotions and thoughts.

It allows you to take a step back, reflect on your reactions, and consider whether your perceptions are influenced by your own internal struggles.

Explore the Projection Concept

In your creative and inspirational approach to life, the concept of projection can serve as a valuable tool.

By exploring this principle, you can gain a deeper understanding of your own motivations, desires, and fears.

This self-awareness can guide you in making more conscious choices and fostering healthier relationships.

It’s important to remember that projection is a natural part of human psychology, and everyone engages in it to some extent.

The key is to develop the ability to recognize when it’s happening and to use that awareness as an opportunity for introspection and personal growth.

As you integrate this understanding into your journey of self-discovery, you’ll likely find that it adds another layer of depth to your creative endeavors and your pursuit of living your best life.

Each sign contains elements desired by its opposite counterpart.

Now, let’s direct our attention to the two dynamic fixed signs of Leo and Aquarius.

Leo and Aquarius

Wanting What You Don’t Have

The essence of opposites is beautifully captured through the interplay of contrasting themes.

In a harmonious dance, Leo and Aquarius have the potential to enhance each other’s completeness.

Leo stands to gain by embracing humility and recognizing the intrinsic worth of humanity.

Aquarius has an opportunity to nurture increased courage and delve into the depths of the heart.

Opposites Attract

The concept of opposites attracting and creating wholeness is a fascinating phenomenon found not only in nature but also in human relationships and various aspects of life.

Much like the interplay between night and day, the union of opposites can bring balance, richness, and a sense of completeness.

Day and Night

The cycle of day and night is a perfect example of how opposites complement each other to form a harmonious whole.

Day represents light, warmth, and activity, while night embodies darkness, coolness, and rest.

Yet, these apparent contradictions work together seamlessly, each contributing its unique attributes to the overall rhythm of life.

The transition from day to night and back again symbolizes a natural ebb and flow, a dynamic equilibrium that sustains the world.

Active and Passive

In human relationships, the attraction between opposites often stems from the idea that individuals with contrasting qualities can bring out the best in each other.

For instance, a person who is outgoing and extroverted may be drawn to someone who is introverted and contemplative.

Their differences create a complementary dynamic where one partner encourages the other to step outside their comfort zone, fostering personal growth and expanded horizons.

Quality

In a similar vein, the union of different strengths and perspectives can lead to more well-rounded solutions in problem-solving and creative endeavors.

When people with diverse skills collaborate, they often contribute unique viewpoints that enhance the overall quality and effectiveness of the outcome.

Light and Dark

Opposites also play a crucial role in personal development and self-discovery.

Embracing contrasting aspects of oneself, such as strengths and weaknesses, can lead to a deeper understanding of one’s identity.

Just as the night allows for introspection and rejuvenation, acknowledging our “dark” or less visible traits can lead to a more authentic and integrated sense of self.

However, it’s essential to note that the harmony between opposites doesn’t mean a complete erasure of differences.

Rather, it involves a respectful coexistence where each element retains its identity while contributing to a larger, harmonious whole.

Creative Inspiration

In relationships, for example, maintaining individuality while appreciating and valuing differences is key to a healthy and thriving partnership.

As you explore the idea of opposites attracting and creating wholeness, consider how this concept can enrich your creative and inspirational journey.

Just as day and night work together to sustain the natural world, your unique blend of qualities and experiences contributes to the vibrant tapestry of your life.

Embracing the interplay of opposites within yourself and your interactions with others can lead to a deeper sense of fulfillment and a more holistic approach to living your best life.

The prospect seems plausible, even quite probable.

However, if your aspiration as a creator leans toward becoming an influencer, it’s advisable to tap into your Leo attributes.

Of course, numerous astrological factors must be taken into account.

For those of you whose birth charts prominently feature the dynamic duo of Leo and Aquarius, whether through influential house placements such as the first or tenth, or through planetary presence in these signs, you stand a greater chance of thriving as a creator during this Leo/Aquarius era compared to many others.
