This week, Mars doesn’t just walk onto the stage—he rips off the curtain, grabs the mic, and demands your full attention. He starts the week pacing in Aries, wired on espresso shots and conquest, but by Friday he struts into Leo with the confidence of a reality TV king. In short? It’s action time.
Mars is the VIP (Very Important Planet), and when he takes center stage, we all feel it. Expect mood swings with a side of fire, passion projects turning into passion crusades, and a strong urge to tell that one person exactly where to go (hint: don’t). Let’s break it down, day by day, with a mix of attitude and actual advice to help you stay fierce, not fried.

Moon in Scorpio
The Moon dives deep into Scorpio’s waters, and suddenly, everyone’s inner FBI agent is activated. Don’t be surprised if you’re overanalyzing texts, dreaming about your ex, or suddenly convinced your co-worker is plotting something. Emotional intensity is off the charts.
How to work it: Instead of spiraling, get curious. What are your emotions trying to reveal? Scorpio Moon wants transformation, not drama.
Action Step: Clean out one thing that feels emotionally heavy—your inbox, your closet, or your unresolved grudge from 2018.

Mercury in Aries
Mercury in Aries turns your inner voice into a sports commentator. Fast, loud, occasionally inappropriate. The urge to speak first and think later is real.
How to work it: Use the clarity of this transit to state your needs, pitch that idea, or have the convo you’ve been avoiding. But remember: confidence is great, combustion is not.
Action Step: Make a to-the-point list of what you really want to say this week. Bonus points if you wait five minutes before sending that spicy email.

Moon in Scorpio trine Saturn in Pisces
Now that your emotional cauldron has simmered, Saturn brings structure to the storm. This is the perfect day to actually deal with the emotional insights you had earlier in the week.
How to work it: Take your feelings seriously, but don’t let them run the show. This is the time for grounded healing, not interpretive dance therapy (unless that’s your thing).
Action Step: Journal about a recurring emotional pattern. What is it teaching you? Then make one small, solid plan to change it.

Mercury conjoins Neptune in Aries
Here’s where things get weird. Mercury and Neptune meet in Aries for the first time in over a century, blending fast thoughts with fuzzy filters. It’s like driving a race car through fog.
How to work it: Great day for creativity, brainstorming, and intuitive hits. Not great for signing contracts or arguing about facts.
Action Step: Keep a dream journal or voice memo your ideas. Let inspiration flow, but double-check any decisions that involve money, time, or your reputation.

Mars enters Leo
Mars in Leo arrives with fanfare, sparkles, and a booming voice that says, “Let them watch me win.” This transit fuels confidence, leadership, and (sometimes unchecked) ego.
How to work it: Step up. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to launch, lead, or go after what you want—this is it. Just avoid starting fights to prove a point.
Action Step: Dress like the main character. Do something bold. And if you’re scared? That’s the signal to do it anyway.

Sun enters Taurus + Mars trine Neptune in Aries
Taurus season begins, and with it, the craving for stability, beauty, and snacks. But Mars trine Neptune says we’re still chasing dreams—this time, with a solid plan.
How to work it: Ground your visions. Create structure for your creativity. Make it real. And yes, take a nap if needed.
Action Step: Pick one dream or idea and give it legs. Schedule it, sketch it, say it out loud. Then reward yourself with something soft, beautiful, or chocolate.

Venus sextile Uranus, Mercury sextile Pluto, Sun square Mars
Three major transits hit today like an astrology smoothie: unexpected shifts, deep insights, and a whole lot of tension.
- Venus sextile Uranus: Love and money want change. Embrace spontaneity without torching your bank account or ghosting your partner.
- Mercury sextile Pluto: Time for the truth. Conversations go deep fast—just make sure you’re ready to handle what you dig up.
- Sun square Mars: Ego collisions and power plays are possible. Try not to pick fights with people who know where you live.
How to work it: Stay flexible, listen more than you speak, and move your body to channel tension.
Action Step: Reflect on what freedom means to you. Where are you holding on too tightly? Where do you need to let go?
Weekly Takeaway
This is not the week to sit on the sidelines. Mars is pushing us to move, lead, and act with purpose—but the path is more nuanced than it seems. It’s not just about going full speed; it’s about aligning action with intention, instinct with insight. So go forth boldly, speak your truth clearly, and dance with the drama without letting it take the lead.
The question isn’t “Should I act?” The question is: “What am I acting on?” Make sure the answer is worthy of your fire.
Now go out there and make Mars proud.
