Leo Weekly Horoscope | March 18 – March 24, 2024
The Sun that forms a sextile to Pluto on March 21st is a springtime Sun and like the Spring, you will experience an inborn part of you stirring from a years-long slumber. Maybe it’s a talent that was never fully developed, a raw potential that remained dormant and untapped, or it could be the return of something you used to do before, put down, and never thought that you’d pick up again. In any case, the seed has sprouted, and it doesn’t matter if it’s too late, inopportune, or seemingly ridiculous – your chance to experience and to express this part of you is now.

You’ll be making the switch from minnow to shark when Mars enters your zodiac sign on March 22nd. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars has a take-no-prisoners approach when it comes to getting what it wants. This may surprise loved ones and friends (what happened to their guppy friend?), but it will also make enemies think twice about messing with you. This will come in handy when you have to lay down the law with people who think that they can browbeat you into doing what they want regardless of your concerns and feelings. They are about to have another “think” coming.

Things not working out the way they should doesn’t have to be a cause for despair. It could be what’s needed to try something totally new. We all hit certain points in our life when doing the same thing over and over loses its efficacy. Formulas for success – like bottles of champagne left open overnight – can go flat. What’s needed now is a fresh approach. You may think that you don’t have the time and energy for it, but make it. Not only will this provide the impetus to break out of that rut you’ve been in, but you may even discover that you’ll actually get somewhere.

In the past, a loss of revenue or end of an association as presaged by a Venus/Saturn conjunction on March 21st would have stopped you cold, but an auspicious Sun/Pluto sextile shows you don’t need it. Not only have you outgrown your dependence on such things, but they’re getting in the way of your personal growth. Pluto in Aquarius is forward-thinking. It’s not interested in making old things great again but rather in exploring a future full of unscripted possibilities. Now this doesn’t mean that everything will be to your liking; but even if it isn’t, it’s your future you’re pursuing and not somebody else’s.

This time of year when the Sun is traveling through your opposite sign is always challenging if not discouraging. The drop in energy makes you feel listless and vulnerable; however, Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius last January changes all that. Instead of thwarting the Sun, Pluto now sextiles it which means that you can turn to people for assistance, support, and maybe even form a coalition. It took a long time to get to this place, but it looks like all of that waiting will soon pay off. Your greatest resources are your human resources, and Pluto in Aquarius ensures that they’re solidly in your corner.

Your Ruling Planet Mars enters a slippery patch of sky on March 22nd, and you could become the author of your own missteps if you aren’t careful. You’re apt to be extremely sensitive and skittish, and this may lead you to walk out on things prematurely, to fire off ultimatums when you don’t get your way, or see gloom and doom everywhere you look. The flip side to this is that Mars in Pisces could also be a creative and prolific time for you. It all depends on how deep you want to go. Mars will be in Pisces from March 22nd to April 30th.

It’s only human nature to brace for the worst when being called out on something you did, but you may be misreading the situation. The reason why a superior or potential client wants to talk to you about a certain episode is that they want to get your version of events. This is all part of a vetting process where they will decide if you’ll get the job, assignment, or promotion. Be forthright and transparent. You’ve nothing to hide, explain, or apologize for. In fact, your play-by-play telling of how things unfolded will quickly smooth out the inconsistencies and quell any doubts they might have.

As a Capricorn, you’re used to doing things on your own. If you’re given an assignment, you’ll disappear into your workspace and then reappear only when the assignment is complete and ready to show others. Well, Pluto in Aquarius is a very different animal than Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto in Aquarius insists you work with others and that you be open to their input and feedback. This may start out feeling like a nightmare, but don’t be surprised if it turns into a dream come true when you discover how creative and inspiring other people can be. You’re not the only smart one, you know.

Mars begins its tour of duty in the zodiac sign opposite yours on March 22nd. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars can be very confrontational and combative when it’s traveling through this part of your solar horoscope. However, Mars is more passive-aggressive than it is “in your face” when it’s in Pisces, so expect to contend with a sea of sad sighs, forlorn looks, and waves of guilt trips from your nearest and dearest. The best way to counteract the emotional manipulation will be to respond with some inertness of your own. Mars will be in Pisces from March 22nd to April 30th.

It took a while to catch on, but it looks like you’re finally on the right path to success. Ironically, it was always there underfoot, but your love for journeying long distances and experiencing exotic lifestyles led you to overlook – and perhaps even to undervalue – things that were in easy reach. This led you to discount your natural strengths and talents as you struggled to try to become someone you thought you should be. Thankfully, this has all been sorted out which means that you are perfectly placed to make the most of life-changing opportunities that will materialize between March 19th and April 19th.

Not all obstacles are meant to be surmounted or powered through. Sometimes they’re put in our way to get us to ask the hard questions. One’s mindset tends towards the negative whenever Venus conjoins Saturn (March 21); yet another planetary aspect occurring on the same day is the Sun/Pluto sextile. This gets you to examine your motivations. If you feel like you could succeed if only things were made easier, then this may be the time to seek another path. If you’re committed to improving – no matter how long it takes – then stay the course, and that obstacle becomes a threshold when you’re ready.

For centuries, the Spring Equinox heralded the start of a new year. In fact, it still does in Iran, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. It’s called Nowruz, which means “new day.”
The Sun is exalted in the zodiac sign of Aries because this is when the young Sun – full of hope and possibility – begins the climb to its heavenly throne where it will be at the peak of its powers later in the year in Leo.
However, an exalted Sun doesn’t mean a strong Sun, it means a celebrated one. This is the time to look ahead, to raise your sights, and to think about how you want your future to be different than your past.
It’s also a time to think about light triumphing over darkness. This isn’t the lightness of day versus the darkness of night – both are harmoniously balanced at the time of the Equinox – but rather your personal light triumphing over the forces that seek to discourage, disparage, or disenfranchise you.
The Sun starts its new year on March 19th – and so do you.
