How Each Zodiac Is Getting A Boost Of Confidence As Mars Enters Leo (4/17)

On April 17 2025, Mars re-enters Leo, where it will remain until June 17, 2025. Providing a boost of confidence and energy, this transit will positively impact all zodiac signs, particularly the Fire signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.

However, if every zodiac embraces Leo’s “I’m too fabulous to fail” energy, they can expect good things. For some signs, it means more romance and popularity. For others, it may mean financial or career woes are ending. Depending on how you harness this energy, you could see the benefits long after this transit ends. 

Aries 

Mars is your ruling planet, and with it entering Leo, you may feel like you’re on fire with ambition. You’ll want to do all the things all at once. However, that’s not good for you. Take a breath, make a to-do list, and start tackling your goals one at a time. With this added energy, you won’t run out of fuel, despite your impulsive nature. 

Taurus 

Mars in Leo will force you to address issues in your career and personal life. Do the inner work needed. It’s important to examine your fears and subconscious desires during this time. Use this energy to reset and plan for the next steps of your journey. While most of your victories will be behind the scenes, this transit will help you overcome long-hidden obstacles.

Gemini 

Mars in Leo shines favorably upon your friendships and relationships, so take advantage of it. You can network like never before. You’ll attract other ambitious people during this period, whether it’s a group project, a work collaboration, or a social event. Join forces with someone to make things happen, especially in your career. Mars in Leo also shines favorably upon side hustles, so if you’ve got a great idea, do it!

Cancer 

Like Gemini, you’re about to experience a popularity run. This will be an exciting time for you as you venture outside the nest. Get out there and make new friends, meet a new romantic partner, or just generally expand your network. However, this Mars energy can make your sign competitive, so if you start getting jealous of your new friends, take a chill pill. Don’t self-sabotage and needlessly isolate yourself.

Leo 

The last thing you need is more confidence, but with Mars in your sign, you’re going to feel unstoppable. Never one to shy away from expressing yourself, you’ll feel compelled to turn everything into a statement, whether it’s your new hairdo or the latest progress report at work. Embrace yourself with love, but remember balance is key. You risk becoming too self-absorbed and inadvertently hurting someone. 

Virgo 

Mars in Leo will transform your life in quieter ways. If you’re overworked or have been hurt recently, this energy will help you reflect and recharge. Your intuition and dreams will be activated, too, so don’t be surprised if you start having insanely vivid dreams. Pay attention to any flashes of intuition during this period because they will help you get rid of emotional baggage and point you in the right direction. 

Libra 

Mars in Leo fires up your ambition and makes you more assertive. If you’re offered a leadership role, this transit encourages you to take it, especially if it gives you a chance to work on a new project or advocate for others. Not only do you have the knowledge and confidence to inspire a group, you may find that people want to follow you. Just remember that with great power comes great responsibility, sis. 

Scorpio 

Trust that powerful intuition, and let it guide your ambition. If you’ve been afraid to take a risk, Mars in Leo encourages you to let go of that fear. You have a chance to completely dominate your field, but remember your intensity sometimes scares people. Resist the urge to step on people who get in your way. Use your considerable power wisely and you may end up with a fan club. 

Sagittarius 

Hit the road, Jack! It’s time to expand your horizons. Whether it’s through traveling, education, or just breaking up with a tired routine, Mars in Leo is your passport to escaping boredom. It’s a prime time for learning, whether you’re taking a course, reading up on new philosophies, or even just immersing yourself in different cultures or perspectives. Opening your mind can open doors, especially if it involves sharing your newfound wisdom or teaching others.

Capricorn 

Money will be your focus during this transit, even more so than usual. You’re about to have a powerful shift in your money (or scarcity) mindset. Don’t be afraid of making dramatic changes in your budget. You probably need to shake things up. Furthermore, you should have the cash and willpower to pay off any lingering debts. Or perhaps you will suddenly have a plan that you’ve been struggling to develop. Either way, you’re about to experience a powerful shift in your financial situation. 

Aquarius 

Buy some candles and some sexy lingerie because Mars in Leo lights your fire. Not only will you be confident in your sexuality during this transit, but there’s a lot of sexual chemistry in the air. Whether this is a new romantic relationship or adding more spark to an existing one, it will be easy to keep things passionate. Take the lead, and make the most of it, girl! Just make sure you and your partner are on the same page so things don’t fizzle out. 

Pisces 

If you’ve been tired lately, and everything feels like a chore, Mars in Leo will finally give you the willpower needed to fold the laundry and wash the car. If your daily routine doesn’t include exercising or a healthy diet, now is the time to join the gym or plan healthier meals for the day. Long after this energy-boosting transit is over, you’ll feel better and keep the momentum going.
