Mars/Leo & Mars/Cancer

Mars grips Leo for the first time - until retrograding back into Capricorn next January. So now begins the leaps for prominence, the braver thrusts for dominance .. and, naturally, the attention seekers chancing their arm. The recent transit of Mars/Cancer had subdued the meek and the compliant and the cautious in approach. But the opposition now between Mars/Leo and Pluto at nought degrees Aquarius leaves the field open for better strategy, approach and preparation - until Pluto takes the front-line again in January and leads negotiations to reverse or amend oversights, omissions and flagrant rebuttals from September and October. 

The strength of Mars/Cancer is not to be under-estimated when backed by stronger voice and character. The yang supports the yin, and then vice versa. April next brings Mars/Leo centre stage and in direct motion towards stability and thoroughness of basics as Mars enters Virgo by mid June. Pluto totally gripping Aquarius next year by inches and indomitable degrees sees lines drawn, stronger bases and irreversible boundaries .. In many matters, personal and trans-personal. Pluto is vastly misunderstood and under-estimated, and by some falsely villainised. But the progress of this planet (which many astrologers believe rules time itself) marks the start of an entirely different epoch.
