Mars Retrograde in Leo Opposes Pluto: Clearing Survival Patterns

This week, Mars retrograde in Leo continues its powerful opposition with Pluto in Aquarius.

This cosmic tension brings old survival-based patterns and power struggles to the surface for release.

Pluto, the relentless transformer, is urging us to shed these outdated energies, which have kept humanity trapped in cycles of scarcity, fear, and separation.

The opposition is not just individual but collective. Mars, representing the will and action, is being asked to shift out of ego-driven survival mode and into alignment with higher values and divine purpose.

Expect themes of conflict or inner restlessness to arise, as the soul pushes for growth and recalibration.

 

Ego Triggering Likely

Ego triggering is a major issue, so be sure to keep a cool head and opt out of any battles that aren’t worth it.

Spirit reminds us that these patterns are not “who we are” but inherited survival templates from ages past.

As these templates purge, our system makes space for the crystalline energy grid to activate.

This shift will empower us to live more fully in alignment with oneness, compassion, harmony and love.

 

Venus Joins Pluto: Deep Relationship Purging

Adding to the intensity, Venus aligns with Pluto in Aquarius this week, amplifying the focus on relationships, love, and self-worth. This is a powerful transit for releasing toxic relationship dynamics, unspoken fears, and attachment to external validation.

Venus asks: Are your relationships truly aligned with your higher self, or are they rooted in fear, control, or old karmic imbalances? With Pluto in the mix, these questions may feel unavoidable.

If you’ve been feeling triggered, it’s a sign that there are deeper layers calling for healing.

This transit also supports recalibrating how we experience abundance. Pluto reminds us that divine wealth and love are infinite, but to access them, we must let go of scarcity programming and step into our own inner wholeness.

 

Full Moon in Gemini: Emotional Breakthroughs

The Full Moon in Gemini on December 15th is here to illuminate what’s been hidden in your thoughts and emotions. It’s a powerful time for closure, release, and gaining clarity on your path forward.

Gemini, ruled by Mercury, brings a focus on duality, curiosity, and mental shifts.

This Full Moon may highlight patterns of overthinking, indecision, or fragmented energy that need integration.

Let this be a time to align your head and heart – you’ll notice how emotions have likely been clouding your thoughts, and ideas have affected your emotions. Now is the time to check in, notice it, and realign.

Take this opportunity to journal, meditate, and release what no longer serves you.

 

Mercury Goes Direct: Clarity Returns

On December 15th, Mercury finally goes direct in Sagittarius, bringing relief after weeks of communication chaos. As Mercury stations direct, you may notice a surge of mental clarity and momentum.

During this retrograde, you’ve likely been guided to rethink your beliefs, communication patterns, and higher aspirations.

Now, as Mercury moves forward, it’s time to implement the lessons and start taking steps toward your goals with a renewed sense of purpose.

With Mercury being the ruler of Gemini, this weekend will bring an amplified Full Moon that can feel intense.

Mental chatter can become problematic and you may need to push yourself to take time to unwind and go within to bring calm. It will be worth it.

 

Old Astral Templates Dismantled

Behind the scenes, Mars Retrograde opposition Pluto is pushing for a continued dismantling of old 3D separation structures and astral templates.

These energetic imprints, created by collective fear, control, and separation consciousness over centuries, are being purged from our systems and the planet’s grids.

This is part of the larger shift into unity consciousness and the preparation for the crystalline energy era.

You might feel this process as vivid dreams, physical exhaustion, sudden emotional waves or other strange symptoms.

Spirit reminds us to be gentle on ourselves as this is an intense process. Grounding yourself daily, drinking plenty of water, and using energy-clearing tools will ease the process.

 

Embracing the New Era

As we move through these transformative times, remember that every challenge is here to help you step into your true divine power.

The purging of old patterns is preparing you to embody higher frequencies of love, abundance, and unity.

This week’s energies ask you to go within and find inner peace in the middle of what can feel like a strange storm going on.

Let go of the past, release fear, and find deep inner peace. You will realize that your own inner sanctuary was what you probably needed the most all along.

 

Practical Tips for the Week

Ground yourself daily and use energy methods to navigate the intense Mars-Pluto opposition with more ease.

Use the Full Moon in Gemini to release old patterns through journaling or meditation.

Focus on positive, empowering thoughts as Mercury goes direct—your mindset shapes your reality.

Work with energy-clearing tools to ease the purging of old templates and anchor higher frequencies.

Plus, set bold intentions with the Sagittarius energy before we get into Capricorn season, which can be heavier and more pessimistic to work with.

What do you truly want to create in 2025? If you don’t have clarity, the Universe can’t easily deliver your desires. Time to check in.

Remember, you’re not alone, and these shifts are helping you step into a more powerful, aligned version of yourself.

It may just challenge you more than you’d like right now – but down the line you’ll see how much you grow from this period.

As always, I’m sending you so much love and light for your continued journey <3
