MARS IN LEO/REGULUS
Mars is moving toward the deepest point of debilitation into July 17th at Cancer 28th and emotionally vulnerable this week at the end of Cancer but moves into Leo on July 21st  but is still weak in early degrees until July 22nd with the planet in the difficult gandanta area (Leo 0-0.40 degrees) where problems seem tied up in knots and difficult to deal with. Deep karmic suffering can plague the mind if you regret the past too much so let it go. Use the present to act and create new greatness in your life.
Mars in Magha nakshatra can bring out strong leadership qualities and in Leo it is strong to take on the world’s challenges and conquer big problems. Use the fire energy to act boldly and courageously. Mars in the first three degrees (0.3.20 Leo) next week will be in dharma to do great and right action to benefit mankind. Use the energy to help all the people in need and in crisis and there are far too many
Mars will be connected to Ketu on the mental plane which is strong in the intuitive home sign of Scorpio so trusting your intuition to come up with good leadership decisions will be important. Still for Scorpio or Aries rising,  it can and will brings up regrets about the past and might lead to explosive outbursts of anger.
Mars starts combustion August 17th as it moves toward the Sun exactly into early October at Virgo 17th makes the warrior exhausted and irritable the end part of the month. The Magha transit could amplify frustration and irritability as it moves toward a 150/210 degree connection with Saturn which is exact on August 13th . It at least will bring more energy initially to Mars so we may be able to get moving again.    The remedy is too dig deep into Mars’ courage and find the ability to transform and be more in your power over the next three weeks and stay alert while driving and around the house and continue to do the Warrior pose to stimulate the third eye and you sense of alertness. Stay rested so that you are not sleep and fail to see potential problems with the Mars/Ketu connections.
Magha is in Leo and modern astronomers refer to it as a group of stars called Al Jabha, Adhafera, rasalas, Alterfand. Magha constellation is associated with lions and thrones. The principle star of the constellation is the well-known Regulus know for the seat of power. It means the great and beneficent one, the bountiful one, and its symbol is the throne and connects the constellation to royalty, honor, and achievement. It signifies material success and prestige in the world realm. Donald Trump has Mars in this constellation which has made him a very fierce fighter and with Mars going into that constellation now, he may get more aggressive and rise more in power into August particularly when the Sun returns to his natal Leo.
