April 18, Mars enters the sign of Leo. And this marks the beginning of a special period that will last almost two months.

Ukrainian astrologer and numerologist Tetiana Blank shared what makes Mars's new position special and how it will affect each zodiac sign.

"Mars is the planet of action, willpower, initiative; it's our inner warrior, engine, passion. In Cancer (where it was before), it acted through emotions, covertly, often passively. But in Leo, everything will be different: openly, boldly, grandly, with a need for recognition. Simultaneously with the transition, Mars forms a harmonious aspect to Mercury and Neptune in Aries, which is a sign under its rulership, so the aspect's influence is significant!" – the expert noted.

Mercury in Aries, activated by Mars, leads us to speak clearly, think quickly, and generate ideas without extra "filters." This period will be characterized by quick decision-making (though not always correct), charismatic communication, energy in words and thoughts, many thoughts about the body, health, sex, achievements, and sports. And now, these are not just thoughts but real actions.

Neptune in Aries, activated by Mars, will turn intuition and dreams into real actions. Visualization becomes a tool for achievements. So you need not just to dream, but to implement plans in real life.

“A great resource for everyone whose activity is connected to Neptune topics: creativity, transformation, all 'legalized lies' (cinema, music, writing), pharmacology, esotericism, psychology. But it must be said that 'illegal lies' will also be in play – fraudsters will become active,” Blank warned.

Overall, Mars will be in Leo from April 18 to June 17, and this is a great period for:

  • Launching personal projects (where you are the main figure)
  • Updating image, visual presentation, social media
  • Stepping onto the stage (literally and figuratively)
  • Saying a confident "yes" to things that nourish your heart (even if it’s scary)

"Mars was already in Leo in November–December 2024, but then went retrograde. And now, moving direct, it brings us back to the themes of that period, allowing a step forward or a redo with renewed strength. On a global level, this may be the return of heroes, leaders, star figures, bright public events, contests, cultural happenings. Topics like children, education, entertainment, and showbiz may become more active, and Mars highlights strong leadership and vibrant self-presentation (new political or social leaders may 'break through')," the numerologist shared.

Horoscope for all zodiacs

Aries (especially affected, as Mars is your ruler)

You want to live brightly, express yourself, launch personal projects, fall in love, create. A good time for changes in appearance. You’re coming out of domestic comfort (or everyday stress) into a flow of creativity, romance, and inspiration. You want to create, flirt, express yourself. And most importantly – to finally hear yourself and your desires.

Tip: Do something beautiful and bold!

Taurus

Time to organize home space, settle family matters, start renovations or internal restructuring. Energy goes inward. Communication slows down, and focus shifts to home, family, roots. Strength is spent not on chatter but on building a foundation – physical or emotional.

Tip: Intuition doesn’t lie – listen to it.

Gemini

Time to speak up, start a blog, sign up for a course, gather people around your ideas. Thoughts, words, content – all charged with fire. Cool ideas for projects emerge, you want to talk to people, stay in motion. Friendly connections can become a lever for a breakthrough.

Tip: Don’t be silent – your voice is magnetic now.

Cancer

Time to earn from what you love! Monetize a hobby or make a professional statement. You finally feel it's time to act to earn more and get what you deserve. You can “break through” in topics of money, confidence, self-worth. Relationships will also play a role.

Tip: Step out of the shadows – you’ve long deserved recognition.

Leo (especially affected, as Mars enters your sign)

Time to come out of the shadows, it’s your turn to shine! A period of travel, learning, big public statements begins. Mars enters your sign – and you feel like you’ve returned. Energy, desire, confidence – all growing. The fog disappears, a vision and goal appear.

Tip: Act from the heart – and the world will open up.

Virgo

Closing old connections, updating internal settings, and seeking new meaning. Possible breakthroughs in therapy (if you're in it). Time to slow down and dive deep. Actions become less visible on the outside but powerful within. Strong energy, magnetism, intuition.

Tip: Less noise – more power in silence.

Libra

Time to show yourself in the community, present a project, dare to face people. A meeting may happen that changes everything. Your social activity rises: network, joint projects, new dreams. You can create something big – together with someone. Ideal time for collaborations.

Tip: Don’t shut down – the right people are nearby.

Scorpio

Time to make a professional statement. Possible promotion, new status. Important not to forget the body. Career, authority, goals – come first. But all based on everyday efficiency: everything works when you’re well-organized.

Tip: Act professionally – and reap the rewards.

Sagittarius

Time to show yourself in public space, create, write, share your experience. Romantic adventures with a spiritual twist are possible. Your dreams become goals, goals – journeys, studies, stepping into the big world. Fire in your heart and actions. You want to share, inspire, take yourself into the World.

Tip: Expand your horizons – you're ready.

Capricorn

Time for deep honesty – with yourself, your partner, your family. A major financial issue may be resolved. Deep transformations in relationships, finances, emotions. Something important matures – to leave or to be reborn. Things at home may be unsettled – and that's even good.

Tip: Don’t be afraid to let go – to renew.

Aquarius

A new union, important conversation, a decision to cooperate. Possibly – a contract or key encounter. Focus on interaction: partnership, agreements, dialogues. The ability to hear the other side is your superpower. And love might flare up unexpectedly or with new strength.

Tip: Reach out – there’s a chance there.

Pisces

Structuring. Creative flow – into a plan, ideas – into a format, hobby – into a job. A great time to strengthen the body, establish a routine. Now priority goes to the body, schedule, self-discipline. But not dry – inspired, with love for yourself. How you care for yourself directly affects your money and stability.

Tip: Health is your resource #1.

"Want to make the most of this period? Ask yourself: 'Where do I want to shine?' And start acting! Mars in Leo favors those who aren’t afraid to be bright," the numerologist concluded.
