Mars in Leo September 2026: your fire is back

If you have been feeling drained and reactive for the past two months, Mars leaving Cancer is about to change everything. Your spark is coming back.

Mars is finally leaving Cancer on September 27th and entering Leo, where it will stay until November 25th. And honestly, thank god. For almost two months, Mars in Cancer has left us feeling emotional, drained, reactive and frustrated. That energy is over. Now we are getting our confidence back, our passion back, our momentum back.

Fixed signs are about to be supercharged

Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio, you are going to feel this the most. You are about to be supercharged. You may genuinely feel like you can take over the world. And if you know a fixed sign, do not cross them right now because you will regret it. The fire is back and it is not playing.

Watch out for the Mars opposite Pluto drama

There is one thing you need to know. Upon its entrance into Leo, Mars will oppose Pluto, exact on October 3rd. Pluto is the planet of the underworld, so the beginning of this transit can bring power struggles, aggression, intense reactions and domineering attitudes. Fixed signs, you better check yourselves before you wreck yourselves that first week of October. It is going to be intense, so try to lay low. Once that energy passes, there is only good ahead. Well, at least for a little while.

This is the time to believe in yourself, to trust your heart and get on the path that lights you up the most.

Mars conjunct Jupiter is coming

Jupiter, the planet of abundance, is also sitting in Leo right now. Mars will start moving towards it, exact on November 16th, but the energy will build. Jupiter will expand upon that confidence, that energy, that drive, that motivation, that passion. So start going after what you want and make it happen. There is another thing to know: on November 5th, Mars will be entering its pre-retrograde shadow because it is going retrograde again in January. Things will really slow down then, but that is just a heads up. We do not have to worry about that just yet because right now the energy is working in your favor. It is time to go after what you want with no more hesitation and no more second guessing yourself.
