This week, the astrological landscape shifts dramatically as Mars, the planet of action and desire, moves into the fiery sign of Leo. This transit, lasting approximately six weeks, brings a surge of energy, courage, and initiative. Simultaneously, a powerful New Moon in Leo sets the stage for new beginnings, urging each zodiac sign to embrace change and step into their personal power. Whether it's a career leap, a creative project, or a relationship renewal, the cosmos are aligned to support bold moves.
Fire Signs: Leo, Aries, Sagittarius
Leo (July 24 – August 23): With Mars entering your sign, you're encouraged to direct your energy inward before charging ahead. Behind-the-scenes work and reflection will be more useful than forcing things. The New Moon in your sign sets the pace for a personal reinvention.

Aries (March 21 – April 20): There's a stirring of energy around family and domestic matters as Mars enters homely Cancer. You may be inspired to redecorate, relocate, or work on overdue projects, including any decluttering. The fun-filled New Moon in Leo is a green light for all those creative ideas you've been meaning to try. A new romance could spring into life too.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21): The urge to tackle financial or deep emotional issues may be strong now and in the weeks ahead.

A key lunation in your exploration zone brings powerful new experiences through travel, study, or broadening your horizons. New adventures inspire personal growth.
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Taurus (April 21 – May 21): Your words will have power and conviction, but you'll also have the sensitivity to know how to talk to others to resolve any issues.

Dreams and coincidences herald exciting developments.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20): Relationships and important one-to-one connections are energised as the red planet enters your partnership zone for some while.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Gemini (May 22 – June 21): You'll be motivated to make the most of your talents and boost your income by taking on extra work or starting a side hustle. Even so, avoid impulsive purchases that might seem great at the time but that you could regret later. Ready to start a writing, teaching, or social media project? The New Moon can assist, giving you the passion and energy you need to succeed.
Libra (September 24 – October 23): Your ambitions are firmly in the spotlight as Mars hikes into your career zone for a stay of around six weeks.
