5/20/23 ✨ Mars Enters Leo
✨ Happy Saturn Day!
SUN IN TAURUS | MOON IN GEMINI
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I am a warrior.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♋️ MARS ➡️ LEO ♌️ (8:32 AM PT)
Get ready for a ROAR. Warrior Mars enters Leo, reigniting our inner fire. There's plenty of passion to work with over the coming weeks. There's a natural ability to express ourselves and exert our sense of leadership. We'll be motivated by our pride. But Mars in Leo also helps us remember the importance of play- the power of moving our body just to express pent up energy. As children, it was second nature to run, dance, sing, express. Let your inner child out to play during this transit- but - keep your inner toddler in check. Ego tantrums are possible when frustration arises. If you find yourself wanting to ROAR, check in with your body. How can you find a more playful way to express anger?
♌️ MARS OPPOSITE ♒️ PLUTO RX (0º) 8:11 PM PT
Intense passion and powerful drive define our weekend as Mars opposes Pluto. With this polarity playing out at zero degrees, we’re eager to dominate. Power plays and sexual conquests could arise. We could even become obsessive about achieving what we set our mind to. There’s a natural competitive energy today and a compulsion to complete what we’ve started. Remember- manipulation and force will not get you what you want. This transit can work in our favor by giving us grit and determination, but tension and aggression is certainly expected too.

THE MOON:
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON IN GEMINI ♊️
Just after the peak of the new moon, we feel a shift as she enters Gemini. We’ll feel more outgoing and social heading into the weekend. Our words can help us process our emotions. Talking with someone we trust or confiding in our journal can help us gain clarity around the intentions we’re setting now.
♊️ MOON SEXTILE ♈️ CHIRON (18º) 10:00 PM PT
A late night sextile between the moon and Chiron allows us to find healing through out wounding. Under the analytical Gemini moon, we can make more sense of our healing journey.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Mars enters Leo in bold fashion, immediately opposing Pluto in Aquarius! There’s plenty of passion to work with today and impulses will be difficult to ignore. Power plays and compulsive actions are certainly possible, but at its best, this transit can give us the determination and grit to take our goals to completion. We have the stamina of a warrior today and the will power to win whatever battle we’re facing. Just remember- not everyone is your competition! The Gemini moon helps us process our emotions through our analytical mind. A late night connection to Chiron could bring up our wounding. By taking a closer look at our pain, we could find an avenue for healing. New beginnings are starting to unfold.
