Mars ingress to Leo, September 18, 2011



Mars moves out of the sign of Cancer and into Leo today. Leo is a sign of royalty, of peerless quality. Mars is invigorated in Leo, drawing on the fiery energy that Leo signifies.



The chart for the ingress, on the West Coast, has Pisces on the Ascendant, with Neptune in the twelfth house. This softens the effectiveness of the Mars, suggesting that we'll need to rely on intuition and will need to deal with some confusion as we work to manifest our goals. Mars is trine Uranus, suggesting that our work can lead to unexpected results. A square to Venus from Pluto suggests we're grappling with desires that can overwhelm.

This ingress occurs just after Pluto goes direct in Capricorn. There are real volumes of energy we can access. Our control of situations goes only so far and that may be difficult to remember as events transpire.

Thinking ahead to the Fall Equinox, it will be interesting to me to watch the first few days of this week go by and then revisit my notes for the Equinox on Friday September 23rd. Balance is the key for Equinox preparation. My guess is that we'll see extremes, instead.
