Transit of Mars in Leo in 2025

Finally, after losing the dignity for almost 9 months in the signs of Gemini/Cancer, Mars is going to gain dignity on 7th June, 2025 when it will enter in Leo Sign.

First, reflections over Mars transit in Gemini/Cancer -

As predicted through various articles in last one year https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/MarsDirectandRetrogradeTransitsinGeminiandCancerin2024-25 and https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/MarsTransitinCancer2024-25 , this proved to be a rough transit both at personal level and at global level. At global level, we can see the instabilities and chaos in world due to wars, aggression, dominance and not to miss, The Tariff War. At personal level, we have seen people going through major trans-formative events which brought upside-down changes in their lives. We have also seen chaotic crimes, crashes, accidents and violent events.

In my experience of following astrology and planetary transits from last 10 years, I have not seen a transit as devastating as this Mars transit in Gemini/Cancer had been in last 9 months, both at personal & global level. It is not that during other transits such events don’t happen but the intensity, frequency and chaotic nature of these events were at a different level altogether.

One thing which I realized as we have gone through this whole transit of Rahu-Jupiter-Saturn aspecting Scorpio and Scorpio’s lord Mars transiting in Gemini and then in Cancer (direct/retro), that lots of secret matters (Scorpio) came into light and in public knowledge (Mars in Gemini - the sign of spreading information) and that lead to a great chaos (Mars in Cancer) in people’s lives.

But it was not all bad. Wise people redirected this Martian energy in Sports, Work and Creativity and got better results there. So, it again goes back to your awareness and Gunas (Satva, Rajas and Tamas).

Mars transit in Leo -

Thankfully, this rough transit is over and Mars is all set for its next transit in the sign of Leo from 7th June, 2025 to 28th July, 2025. It is right time to get an idea about what results we can expect in our lives due to Mars transit and its various combination with other planets. So, let’s begin –

1. First of all, it is a welcome change and major relief for all of us as Mars is coming out of its debilitation sign and actually deepest debilitation at 28 degrees Cancer.

2. So, 1st benefit is that Mars would be in a good dignity. Mars in Leo is like energized Mars. Leo is a fiery sign and Mars is a fiery planet. So, there will be lots of fire and aggression in actions in coming 45 days. Especially in the house related things where Leo falls in your chart. Like, for me, it is 10th house transit. So, I can be super-active in my career-oriented matters.

4. Also, Mars-Ketu will be together in Leo as Ketu has also turned into Leo. Now again, not only Mars and Leo are fiery by nature but Ketu also represents fire accidents. So, we have to be very careful dealing with fire or fiery things or even fiery people.

5. Likewise, we all can find ourselves very active in the matters related with the house where Leo is falling in chart. We can be very active, aggressive and ambitious but many of us may also be utilizing the energy in dominance and control.

6. Although, it can be a good transit to pursue creativity as Leo is a sign of creativity too but all this fire, action and aggression needs to be diverted in right direction of creativity or ambitions else it can easily take shape of anger, aggression and dominance.

7. This too much of Fire element can lead to dominance and control struggle. Relationship can get hurt due to same fire and heat. Wherever Mars-Ketu will be transiting in Leo sign as per your ascendant, there can be lots of aggression, dominance, fire and heat in matters related with that house in your chart. Like, if Mars-Ketu are in 4th house/Leo then aggression at home and if Mars-Ketu are in 10th house/Leo then aggression at workplace.

8. As Malefic planets are not natural providers and dealing with even one malefic can be a difficulty, in that case we need to be extra careful as Mars-Ketu are coming together. Mars-Ketu co-rule Scorpio. So, in whichever House Mars-Ketu are together in your birth chart or during transit, you can see chaos and changes like Scorpio there. So, we need to continue to be careful against aggression, dominance, sudden events, accidents etc. in the area of life represented by the house where Mars-Ketu are transiting as per your chart in next 45 days.

9. This can be even more prominent for people who already have malefic or malefics in Leo sign in whichever house of chart. Like, I have Rahu-Saturn in 10th house/Leo and Mars-Ketu will transit there. So, it is clearly a battleground in 10th house related matters.

10. Only relief factors are that Mars is in good dignity and this transit will be of only 45 days, in comparison with the recently concluded transit of Mars in Gemini/Cancer which was there for 9 months.

11. So, this transit of Mars in Leo can be utilised better in real estate, creativity, career or business field but not in human relationship matters. The biggest challenge would be to redirect the aggressive energy in creative or productive activities.

12. If Leo is in one of Dushthana houses or Mars is losing Digbala in 4th house, then person needs to be very careful against aggression, dominance struggle, illness, conflicts, accidents and expenses.

13. Still Mars in good dignity can benefit us if we are able to direct our actions in right direction and it can be much better time than last 9 months, at least in Ajeeva Karakas.

14. Now, this Mars transit is creating quite a few joint impacts with other planets for 45 days, besides the Mars-Ketu conjunction we talked above and these are –

a. 4th aspect of Mars will be on Scorpio which shows our desire to take control of that area of life where Scorpio falls in chart. So, wherever Scorpio sign falls into the chart, we would try to take control of that area of life. Also, as Mars is aspecting its own sign, it will strengthen Scorpio. So, we can expect things related to house where Scorpio falls, to get strengthened but only after facing natural chaos of Scorpio.

b. 7th aspect of Mars will be on Rahu in Aquarius and Rahu will also aspect back at Mars in Leo. This will create Angarak Yoga energy and fire of Mars-Ketu in Leo can further explode due to Rahu’s impact on Mars. Again, its our free will as to how we want to utilize this extra energy indicated by Angarak Yoga; i.e. either creatively or destructively.

c. Mars-Saturn – Mars aspects Saturn in Pisces with its 8th aspect. This combination can lead to lots of frustration as Mars wants to achieve things right now but Saturn is all about delay, hard work and perseverance. So, when Mars tries to achieve things quickly, Saturn brings blocks and barriers. End result is obvious frustration. It means that if we want to get the best results then we need to work really hard and show perseverance in area of life wherever Pisces fall in our chart. 8th aspect is also an aspect of instability, changes and determination. So, we can be feeling frustrated due to continuous changes and instability but if we put perseverant and determined efforts, things can be better.

d. Malefic & Maraka Impact on Aquarius sign – Last but certainly not the least, if we see then we will realize that Aquarius sign is coming under heavy malefic impact in next 90 days as follows –

• Rahu is transiting in Aquarius.
• Saturn is transiting in Pisces (2nd from Aquarius).
• Ketu is transiting in Leo (7th from Aquarius).
• As discussed earlier, it is creating a Maraka impact for Aquarius sign for coming 1.5 years - https://astrosaxena.com/articles/MarakaImpactonAquariusSignduring2025and2026 .
• Now, with Mars entering in Leo, this malefic + Maraka impact on Aquarius sign increases even further as all the malefic planets are either impacting Aquarius sign or creating Maraka impact.
• This Maraka impact will continue for 90 days as Mars will stay in Leo for 45 days and then in Virgo for another 45 days from where also it will aspect Saturn in Pisces (Maraka for Aquarius again).
• So, we need to be very careful with respect to things, people and matters related with house where Aquarius falls in chart for next 90 days.

Another way this Maraka impact is manifesting in people’s lives since Saturn moved in Pisces –

A common result I have seen after Saturn in Pisces transit is people have reduced their social interaction.

Aquarius - Social Networking.

Maraka for Aquarius will be Pisces (2nd from Aquarius) and Leo (7th from Aquarius).

Saturn is in Pisces.

Leo sign is hemmed between Ketu in Virgo and Mars in Cancer.
With time, Ketu will transit in Leo and would stay there for 1.5 years.

As Saturn and Ketu both are malefic and non-providers , we can see this result of less social interaction for a long time.

It can be more so when another malefic also impacts either Leo or Pisces signs or both, like Mars will be in Leo from June joining Ketu there and aspecting Pisces from Leo and Virgo both signs during transit. So, if I may say this reduced social interaction can grow even further between June to September. - https://youtu.be/t99lE9QJcnI?feature=shared

Overall, we need to be careful about things and ppl related with house where Aquarius falls for next 1.5 years, especially when another malefic Rahu will be transiting Aquarius only.

Needless to say that Mars is still in Cancer sign (debilitated) and in Gandanta Degrees. So, we still need to deal with Mars in Cancer transit for a week more before we start planning for Mars in Leo. It’s time to put the best of efforts in creative direction and show patience & perseverance.

Finally as always, the end results would depend on chart + dasha + transit and overall analysis is necessary to make any potential prediction. Please don’t jump to any conclusion.

Gratitude!!!
