Mars pivots into direct motion on March 11th and travels forward once again over the degree span of this retrograde, 0° – 19° Leo.
We are now given the opportunity to set into motion area’s in our life that were brought into focus by this retrograde and slowed to a snail’s pace or halted entirely after Mars entered retrograde motion on December 20th, 2009.
Mars first traversed the degrees of 0-19 Leo in forward motion last year from October 17th – December 20th.
Now after having another angle afforded to us during retrograde motion we are once again going to experience what first began/occurred during the forward phase last October-December.
By reviewing what began last October through December yet then stalled or slowed during the retrograde phase from December 2oth until now we are offered insight into that which is now on the table and either ready for forward development or due to be scrapped and let go of.

Of note: During the time Mars has been traveling this particular span of Leo, Mars has spent a considerable amount of time in aspect to Saturn by sextile and Pluto by quincunx(inconjunct).
This, along with any natal planets Mars has been in aspect to in your chart during his stay in the 0-19 degrees of Leo is of notable significance as direct motion and the triggered dynamics will have impact on these other areas as well as our Leo sector.
Personally and collectively Saturn in Libra has been bringing to the forefront relationship issues in all manners.
Pluto in Capricorn has been uncovering the strengths and weaknesses within our personal foundations and those of larger structure such as financial institutions, big businesses and governments.
On a personal scale we have now had many months to gather and rework our Leo initiatives and we have also made note of how functional or dysfunctional our Leo areas are in relation to our Libra and Capricorn sectors.
We also began to formulate an outlook for ourselves as to where we believe we are headed as a collective body and what we believe may occur these next years as Pluto reshapes structures governed by Capricorn on a collective scale.
Now that Mars is returning to direct motion it will be apparent to many what their next steps of action are in regards to all of the information we have been processing these past months.
I find it likely that by the time Mars exits the shadow of this retrograde phase in June many will have made significant progress in realigning their relationships to function as optimally as possible for themselves and others during what they foresee coming forth in these next years as Pluto continues further into Capricorn and the Cardinal squares and crosses evolve.
While many situations that correlate to this Mars retrograde in Leo will not come to full culmination until after Mars exits the shadow phase at 20° Leo, there will now be steady progress availed by the increase of available Mars energy, and many will be grateful to now begin to take action once again and step more assuredly into new directives!
Personally I am quite relieved that we are now entering the home stretch of this particular retrograde. 🙂
