The God of War takes a dive into the heart and purges out of its soul all that stands in its way from its inner heart centered desires.
Many people are already noticing the internal combustions that are taking place; surges of anger, frustration, anxiety and angst. All of these energies are ruled by the sign of Mars, and while he is flaring though the fire sign of Leo, things get heated up to the point where there is no moisture left in the air, only heat – red-hot-dry-burning-heat.
Mars is a fire planet to begin with, added to the fact that he is in a fire sign, the heat is double fold. However with Mars traveling through the sign of Leo, all of our ego issues are coming to the forefront. If you have any ego issues that are standing in the way of your heart centered desires then these will become evident, through the typical expression of Mars (the active destroyer). Mars is the God of War, one that feeds off fighting, fury, anger and frustration. This stimulates his adrenalin to remove all of what is not needed in your own personal journey.
Some people may prefer to connect this vibration to Archangel Michael, the Eliminator and Warrior of Light Angel, the one who fights evil and casts it out of our lives. But, no matter how you look at it, that which is not useful must die, purged out of this existence, and this is the purpose to the retrograde journey of Mars in Leo.
