An astrologer named Eleanor says Mars has just entered Leo, a transit that will make people far less tolerant of being tested, underestimated, or disrespected. According to Eleanor, the next two months will demonstrate what happens when someone pushes a person one time too many. The shift affects four zodiac signs in particular: Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, and Taurus.
For Leo, Eleanor says the Mars transit brings a turn toward owning personal power. Leo is finished making itself smaller so that others can feel more important, and is tired of being talked over or embarrassed in front of other people. Eleanor adds that proving someone wrong still grants that person too much influence over one's decisions, and that the real victory lies in building a life that has nothing to do with what those people think. Leo's focus is now fixed on achieving long-held goals, with Mars supplying the motivation to accomplish them; a more competitive streak may emerge, but that simply reflects how much Leo cares.
Aquarius, according to Eleanor, has nearly reached its limit for disrespect, though the response will not be an angry outburst. Instead, Aquarius is becoming quiet and observant this month. Eleanor says Aquarius does not have to win every confrontation in the next two months, but will learn who only respects its individuality when that individuality does not interfere with what they want. She notes that some people do not miss the old version of a person so much as they miss the access they once had to that person. Falling-outs and friendship breakups may follow, but Eleanor frames them as beneficial, since Aquarius is now surrounding itself with people who genuinely offer support, even if the early stages prove painful.
Scorpio, Eleanor says, will find that being underestimated lights a fire under it during October and November. Rather than spend energy arguing with someone, Scorpio is advised to direct that energy into pursuits that make the other person's opinion irrelevant. Immediate revenge may not materialize, but the period offers a chance at a major glow-up that may be sparked by spite, which Eleanor calls acceptable motivation. That irritation gets poured directly into work, getting into a dream body, making money, or whatever goal is relevant at the time, and Scorpio is no longer giving detractors the time of day.
Taurus has had its limits crossed for the last time, with family and friends having taken advantage of its kindness for too long, Eleanor says. She explains that Taurus has been keeping the peace because it dislikes drama, but in October and November it will wake up and choose confrontation over that calm. Eleanor advises against letting anyone pressure Taurus into a decision it is not ready for, and says Taurus should stand its ground because it means it, not merely because it refuses to change its mind on principle. The era of people-pleasing is, in her view, finally in the past.
