Depicted frequently in the Tarot to represent success and achievement, such as in the 6 of Wands, Lord of Victory. This 2nd decan of Leo is the position of the Ascendant while Venus and Mars are together in the following place — the final showdown for Leo where we’re pressed to hold down our title and defend our crown.

The Astrology of the 7 of Wands Bay Laurel Votive Candle

Mars in Leo Decan 3 – Rising with Venus – in a Fire Trine

The focus of this election is Mars in Leo decan 3, a part of Leo that Mars rules. This decan in the Tarot is the 7 of Wands, Lord of Valour, which is all about keeping your spark alive and the Fire burning hot, resisting defeat. Leo symbolizes creativity, power, and strength; as we approach the end of the sign, holding onto these things becomes the focus. Our kingdom is at stake and we’re forced to defend and protect our legacy, vitality, and our ability to be in control of our own lives. With everything on the line, you put your whole heart into defending what truly matters, what defines you, and what is truly born from the heart.

Venus is applying to a conjunction with Mars, adding her blessing of love, passion and creativity to the mix. The two are in a Fire Trine with the Moon in bold Sagittarius and healing Chiron in self-assertive Aries. This bolsters Mars and stokes his Fire, ensuring that the energy is burning ever brightly. Invoking Chiron in Aries invites a part of us that is fighting for independence, self-directed leadership, and freedom of personal action.

Venus squares Uranus, an energetically-charged confrontation that encourages growth, experimentation, and creative spontaneity. Mars is also separating from a square to Uranus, and this energy is still present, signifying the intense need to break free from limitations, pursue our own desires, and assert our creative will in the world.

Sun-Mercury in Cancer: Tapping into Apollo’s Wisdom

The Sun is the ruler of the chart, conjunct Mercury in Cancer in the 12th House of the subconscious. This emphasizes the prophetic nature of VALOUR, and the ties to Apollo. Force alone is not enough; wisdom and prophecy will guide the way. Fire is intuitive; trust your impulses and instinctual nudgings.

The Sun and Mercury are trining Saturn, which gives dedication and persistence to reaching your goals. The election takes place during the day of Saturn and the hour of Mars.

Sun-Mercury sextile Jupiter on the Midheaven

Helpful in terms of assuring victory and success, Jupiter is in a prominent placement at the top of the chart. The Sun and Mercury form an advantageous sextile to him, offering positivity, encouragement, and fortuitous good luck. Positive thinking carries you forward and helps you attract support and good fortune toward your cause.
