The final chapter of an intense cosmic cycle is here. Since late October of 2024, Mars (the Planet of Action) and Pluto (the Planet of Transformation) have been locked in an on-and-off battle of power, will, and metamorphosis. This week, as Mars re-enters Leo on April 17, we approach the last act of this journey. It prepares to clash with Pluto in Aquarius for the third and final time, reigniting a story of deep personal evolution.
The lessons you’ve faced - moments of challenge, intensity, and raw truth - are now coming full circle. The question is: how will you harness this fire to rise stronger than ever?
The journey from late 2024 to now has been nothing short of an initiation. Mars and Pluto have pushed you to face your fears, reclaim your power, and step into your highest self. These transits weren’t easy, but they forged you in cosmic fire. Now, with this final opposition, it’s time to weave the lessons together and transmute the intensity into wisdom. You have grown. You have transformed. And now, you rise.
We’ve created a powerful tarot ritual - one for each Mars-Pluto opposition - to illuminate your path and help you alchemize past struggles into strength. As you prepare to face this activation, it’s crucial to remember: You’ve been here before, and you are now stronger than you’ve ever been!
A Mars in Leo Ritual for Transformation
You will need: a tarot deck, three small candles (black, red, and white), and matches.
November 3, 2024 – The First Clash
Light the black candle and pull a tarot card, asking: “What was the initial lesson Mars and Pluto brought me?” Reflect on the challenges that first arose. How did this clash shake your foundation, and what fears surfaced?
January 3, 2025 – The Second Clash
Light the red candle and pull another card, asking: “How did this story evolve?” This phase likely forced you deeper into transformation. What patterns became undeniable? What power dynamics shifted?
April 27, 2025 – The Final Clash
Light the white candle and draw your final card, asking: “How do I integrate these lessons and move forward?” This card holds your key to empowerment. Take a deep breath, hold this card in your hand as you visualize yourself stepping boldly into this next chapter - unshaken, wiser, and fully in your power.
Let the candles burn as long as you feel called, then extinguish them with gratitude. The Mars-Pluto cycle has ignited your inner fire - now, it’s time to rise!
