Your Predictions – Ketu, Mars Conjunction in Leo

Mars and shadowy Ketu are very different planets, though Ketu itself also has restless, Mars-like qualities that inspire you to look for meaning and inner escape. In Leo, you have ego invested in your fighting and leadership ability, though you may take a leisurely approach to work that only engages fully when there is great demand. The doubly fiery nature of this transit finds you inwardly driven, yet you may also struggle to identify the exact thing you are pursuing.

Ketu is a symbolically headless, blind creature, and you can easily become frustrated and angry from obscure emotions that come from inside you. It’s essential to operate to an overall plan and not spend all your energy moving about for no good purpose. Your concentration can easily slip, or negative impulses arising from the past can spill out and affect you in a distracting way. Be careful when exercising and driving, or using sharp or heavy machinery. These two planets enter the sign of Leo from opposite ends and move gradually closer to each other until they meet directly from July 21st to 25th, when this transit is at its height.

At this point especially, you may need a subtler approach to asserting yourself at work and in relationships, and to use psychology to influence people. Channeling your efforts in a spiritual and transformative direction promises excellent results, however, and this is an excellent time for yoga and meditation. Helping people also comes naturally, when you put your ego drive to one side and fight for a shared or humanitarian cause.
