The fire has burned, the moon has spoken — and now, we balance.
Mars has just entered Libra, shifting us from bold reaction to balanced response. This planetary energy invites you to move, act, and create from a place of deliberate harmony, not heat-of-the-moment chaos.
It’s a paradox Leo season understands well: how to roar without domination, how to lead with heart, and how to be bold without burning out.
This is the week to tend your boundaries as sacred art, your creativity as quiet rebellion, and your relationships as intentional rituals.
🕯️🗡️Mini Ritual: The Velvet Sword🗡️🕯️
For this spell, you'll need:
A piece of fabric or ribbon (red, pink, or black)
A pen
A clear intention
On the fabric, write a single phrase: something you’re affirming or protecting. (Examples: “My voice matters.” “I act with peace and power.”)
Wrap the fabric around your wrist, a candle, or your journal.
Whisper:
“My grace is not weakness. My softness is not silence.”
Carry or display it as a reminder of your velvet sword—firm, beautiful, and unshakable.
