Desire plus willpower

With so much going on in the sky let's focus on mars for that's where the action is. If you have noticed a revving up in some areas that could be where mars is traveling in your chart. There's a lot of juice in this one and it will last many months, approximately seven.
And that is what mars in Leo is about, where is our gold? Creative juices flow, as does libido so be judicious about using birth control. Mars has the drive and Leo has the vision so projects take on great forward momentum. There is a lot of self pumped into efforts, we are closely identified with our creations- their our lil babies after all. Whether you are churning out a novel, a dinner feast or making a baby there is a wellspring of passion for what we are doing. Achievement, recognition, leadership, even parenting/family are all possible avenues for the expression of this energy, it's nearly orgasmic....did I say that? well yes.

Do watch out for egos clashing for more than one person may want recognition or seemingly great ideas are spurned. If you have a grand plan for a new invention consider copy-writing or otherwise protecting your personal ideas. Leo is also about existing family so their can be conflict and jealousy if mars energy gets overworked. Everyone may want to be the Chief. Be sure to recognize each individual contribution to any group projects and collaborations and keep a modicum of humility about achievements.
So whether it is interpersonal relations, family, work projects or personal creativity pay attention to the energy you have and where it needs to be focused. Take up something new and inspirational to you if there seems to be a void. A new hobby, exercise routine, love affair, or adult ed. class to pour your heart into. Finances may be able to be enhanced through creative endeavors or there could be an increased responsibility necessitating more effort.
One note is that a turning point called a retrograde will be in store a few months from now so all that glitters may not be gold. Or that book may need serious editing, or their might be a change of heart or changing loyalties down the road. More posts when that time gets closer though if you can wrap things up by the end of the year then the remaining time is well spent in reflecting, editing, retouching details, resubmitting or just considering if any changes are needed. Some projects may well halt altogether for one reason or another.
