Possible Predictions for World Events
Leadership Shakeups:
Mars retrograde in Leo often magnifies leadership transitions, and this cosmic energy is already in motion:
French Politics: On December 4, 2024, French Prime Minister Michel Barnier was ousted via a no-confidence vote. President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans to appoint a new prime minister in the coming days. The retrograde energy of Leo (ego, leadership) combined with the emotional undercurrents of Cancer (public sentiment) reflects the intense political scrutiny and emotional reactions unfolding in France.
Other Global Leaders: We can expect surprise shifts in government roles, especially in countries with Leo or Cancer heavily featured in their national charts (e.g., UK, USA, or France).
Cultural Re-Evaluations:
Hollywood Strikes Back: Mars in Leo brings attention to the entertainment industry. A resurgence of debates around fair pay, AI in media, and high-profile celebrity controversies.
Revived Icons
Like Netflix's revival of Senna's story, we may see a return to the spotlight for beloved figures or franchises.
Family and Homefront Issues:
Housing Policies in Focus: Mars in Cancer could highlight debates around home security, affordability, and housing rights globally.
Royal Family Dynamics: With Cancer’s connection to home and family, significant news may emerge around monarchies, particularly in Europe.
Technological Clashes:
Tech Industry Struggles: Retrogrades often revisit unresolved issues. Watch for fallout from recent scandals or failures (e.g., AI ethics, data breaches).
Social Media Fatigue & New Frontiers
The Spotlight Feels Dimmer: With Mars retrograde in Leo, the collective enchantment with social media is fading. The dopamine rush that once fueled endless scrolling now feels hollow. People are craving more individual platforms to shine—whether through intimate creative outlets, local gatherings, or meaningful offline experiences.
Rekindling Care: As Mars retrogrades into Cancer, it stirs a yearning for emotional authenticity. The question arises: How can we care again? This is a time to shift from superficial interactions toward deeper, more meaningful connections, prioritising heartfelt expression over fleeting trends.
Climate and Nature:
Mars in Cancer’s water energy could bring attention to climate events like floods or rising sea levels, with leaders scrambling to address these concerns.

A Note on Love, Passion, and Intimacy
Mars rules desire and sex, also. Retrograde is a time to rethink how we express it. In Leo, expect playful flirtation to meet moments of self-consciousness. Are you seeking to impress, or are you showing your true self? When Mars dips into Cancer, intimacy turns inward—emotional connection becomes paramount. This is a beautiful time to deepen trust, rekindle passion with a long-term partner, or reflect on what kind of love truly lights your fire.
