Mars arrives in your sign
Mars enters Leo (Monday Sep 28, 02:49 UTC; late Sunday Sep 27 in US Eastern). Astrologers read Mars in your sign as a boost to drive, visibility and confidence. Worth asking: where do you want that energy to go, so it doesn't scatter across everything at once?
Mars opposition Pluto (Saturday Oct 3, 10:39 UTC), at 3°06' Leo and Aquarius. Oppositions are read as a tug between two sides, and this pairing is linked with questions of power: who decides, who gives way. If a standoff with someone close shows up, it may help to name what each of you is protecting.
Moon enters Leo (Sunday Oct 4, 22:54 UTC). The week closes with the Moon in your sign, traditionally a cue to check in with how you feel rather than how you look. A quiet hour on Sunday evening is a fair reward for a busy week.
