Mars in Leo: Start Creating

Alright, listen up: It’s Mars in Leo Retrograde. On a Tuesday. The planet of action is in full backward-drama mode, and it’s not here to be polite. It’s here to grab you by the collar and say, “Why aren’t you living up to your creative potential?” You’re spiraling? Great. Let’s work with that. Here’s how every sun sign can take this chaotic energy and turn it into something—anything—productive, even if you’re screaming the whole way through.

Aries (March 21 – April 19): Stop Starting, Start Finishing

Oh, look, it’s Aries with 37 tabs open in their brain and not a single project done. Typical. Mars retrograde doesn’t want your half-baked ideas; it wants a finished product. Get on it.

Do This: Dig through your pile of “projects I’ll finish later” and FINISH ONE. Yes, just one. For now.
Blunt Truth: Nobody’s impressed by your ability to start things. We’re waiting to see if you can actually land the plane.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Stop Playing It Safe

Ah, Taurus. Cozy, predictable Taurus. Painting the same comfortable picture over and over again. BORING. Mars retrograde is here to throw a metaphorical pie in your face and demand you take a risk.

Do This: Try something that terrifies you creatively. Ruin your perfect little bubble. Make chaos art. You’ll survive.
Blunt Truth: Growth doesn’t happen while you’re lounging in your creative Snuggie.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Commit to SOMETHING

Gemini, we need to talk about your commitment issues. You’re a tornado of ideas, spinning in 87 directions at once. Mars retrograde is here to yell, “Pick one, dammit!”

Do This: Take your wild brainstorm list and circle ONE idea. Work on that today. No, you can’t change your mind.
Blunt Truth: Your creativity is like a browser with too many tabs open. Close some before it crashes.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Use Your Feelings for Fuel

Oh, Cancer. You’re drowning in your feels, but Mars retrograde doesn’t want you to wallow—it wants you to make something out of it. Cry about it, sure, but then DO something with it.

Do This: Write a sad poem, paint your heartbreak, bake cookies that taste like unresolved trauma. Just channel it somewhere.
Blunt Truth: Tears aren’t art until you do something with them. Sorry.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): Stop Overthinking Your Greatness

Leo, you’re spiraling because you’re not sure if you’re still the main character. Newsflash: You are. Mars retrograde just wants you to make sure your story’s worth telling.

Do This: Take an old success and rework it into something new. Shine it up. Make it golden.
Blunt Truth: Your spotlight’s not going anywhere, but you need to step back into it.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Let Go of Perfection

Virgo, you’re stuck in analysis paralysis, convinced that your creativity isn’t good enough. Mars retrograde is here to slap that thought out of your head and yell, “JUST DO IT.”

Do This: Make something terrible on purpose. Imperfect. Messy. Let it be ugly.
Blunt Truth: Nobody cares about your perfect spreadsheet of ideas if nothing’s actually done.

Libra (September 23 – October 22): Stop Worrying About Approval

Libra, you’re too busy wondering if people will like what you create. Mars retrograde is screaming, “Create for YOURSELF, not for them!”

Do This: Make something so indulgent it’s borderline selfish. Write fanfic about your dream life. Paint your favorite dessert. Whatever.
Blunt Truth: People like you for YOU, not for how much you cater to them.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Stop Hiding Your Depth

Scorpio, you’re sitting on a creative volcano, and Mars retrograde is here to say, “Let it erupt already!” Stop hoarding your intensity. Share it.

Do This: Make something raw, real, and maybe a little scary. Don’t hold back.
Blunt Truth: Nobody can connect with what you keep buried.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Finish What You Started

Sagittarius, we see you, running off to the next shiny thing without finishing the last one. Mars retrograde says, “Not today, adventurer.”

Do This: Grab one of your half-finished projects and finish it. Like, right now.
Blunt Truth: Your big ideas mean nothing if they’re left to gather dust.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Stop Treating Creativity Like Work

Capricorn, you’re overthinking your creative process. Mars retrograde is begging you to relax and make something FUN for once.

Do This: Doodle, paint with your fingers, or write nonsense. Whatever feels playful.
Blunt Truth: Your creativity isn’t a job interview. Loosen up.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Stop Reinventing the Wheel

Aquarius, you’re so focused on being original that you’re not making anything real. Mars retrograde says, “Stop overthinking and start doing.”

Do This: Take an old idea and give it a weird, futuristic twist. Make it so YOU.
Blunt Truth: Innovation isn’t worth sh*t if you don’t follow through.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Ground Your Daydreams

Pisces, your creativity is an ocean of endless possibilities, but Mars retrograde is here with a life preserver: ACTUALLY MAKE SOMETHING.

Do This: Take one dream and make it tangible. Write it down. Draw it. Sing it. Just DO it.
Blunt Truth: Your dreams aren’t art until they exist in the real world.
