Read your horoscope for Mars in Leo
Main character season
When Mars — the planet of action, aggression, and assertion — enters Leo on November 3rd, every setting becomes your center stage. Hunger for attention, adoration, and acclaim flares up when the planetary go-getter is in this fixed fire sign. If you find yourself covertly posing at the grocery store or suddenly posting a slew of new glamour shots, give yourself permission to bask in the ensuing applause. Being witnessed in the best possible light isn’t a frivolous thing to want; it’s a healing, transformative experience that we all deserve to enjoy.
But take a time-out from showboating if you notice your ego edging others out of the frame. Competitiveness can be used as fuel to give your all in a constructive way — or it can reflect and perpetuate a scarcity mindset. Resist the urge to raise your claws when someone else is getting their flowers. Celebrating wins — no matter whose they are — makes life more pleasurable for everyone.
Radiant reboots
On December 6th, Mars stations retrograde, prompting us to review how we work with anger and share our creative gifts. If you experience lagging momentum around this time, this slowdown is serving a crucial purpose: self-reflection. Instead of racing forward with your podcast recordings, audition tapes, or red-carpet rollouts, take this opportunity to check in with yourself and assess whether your projects enliven or deplete you. If they’re no longer inspiring, they may be due for a tune-up.
This is also a potent moment for feeding the sides of ourselves that crave attention. Not receiving the accolades we yearn for can spark frustration and resentment. But we can use this period to overcome any barriers to being celebrated. Take actions that honor and protect the parts of you that want to shine, whether you decide to put yourself out there in a performance art class or turn off the comments on your latest social posts. The praise you earn when you’re being authentically yourself is more meaningful than a thousand trophies and more motivating than a crowd of adoring fans.
Retrograde Mars backtracks into Cancer on January 6th, 2025, and then stations direct in the sign of the crab on February 23rd. By the time Mars re-enters Leo on April 17th, where it will remain June 17th, you’ll be more attuned to your vitality and prepared to broadcast your talents in a spirit of generosity. In the meantime, don’t be afraid to retreat backstage and take a breather. Temporarily going dark increases your allure and heightens the impact of your next star turn.

It’s rehearsal time.
Over the coming weeks, linger backstage with your muses to amplify your star power. Instead of immediately going public with your endeavors, incubate them privately. Whether you rant to your succulents or make bold collages on your bedroom floor, act for no one’s approval but your own.
When you remove the pressure of an audience from the equation, you can connect more fully with your authentic creativity. That’s more valuable than all the applause in the world.

Stealth mode may be your default setting, but there’s no shame in wanting to shine.

Take up more space in your collaborations.
Over the coming weeks, flaunt your assets shamelessly, whether you’re negotiating for a pay raise or self-promoting in a grant application. The surest way to shake off inner naysayers isn’t to argue with them; it’s to act in your own favor despite their doubts.
Even if not all your efforts succeed, you’ll have strengthened the muscles of your confidence and self-respect. But remember to be proactively generous with others around you. Shared wins are more satisfying than solo triumphs.

Prepare to enter diva mode.
Over the coming weeks, your 1:1 relationships — romantic and platonic alike — are sites of dramatic, creative expression. Whether you choose to lavish the VIP treatment on a bestie or to celebrate the artistry of a beloved, soak up the life-affirming nectar of mutual admiration.
But also: Keep your temper in check. If sparks fly and egos roar, consider ducking backstage. Taking in other perspectives with an open mind and heart is a skill, and practicing it makes all your unions come spectacularly alive.

Pisces & Pisces rising
It’s time to sharpen your self-advocacy skills.
Over the coming weeks, challenge yourself to be more audacious in your routines and practical affairs. Volunteering an idea in a meeting or asking your acupuncturist to adjust a needle might seem insignificant — but it isn’t. Acting on your own behalf, consistently and constructively, builds up your confidence over time.
And when egos grip the wheel, remember: It’s not about dominating the supermarket line or “winning” your meditation class; the point is to treat self-care as the important ritual it is.
