Mars in Leo
Het Monster: Mars in Leo
I am a star! And in the center of the stage
I must be. All spotlights and lamps
Must shine on me!
This enthusiastic, usually cheerful child wants to be in motion and at the center of everything happening. He likely has a lot of energy and vitality, cares about how he looks, and has plenty of reasons to take care of his body. You won’t need to persuade him to leave the house and do something. On the contrary, just try to keep him at home! It’s unlikely to succeed, and you’d better just watch the show, but be ready to applaud. Your child with Mars in Leo will likely love team sports and strive to be a star. He will probably be drawn to theatrical performances. This child doesn’t like to lose and will be “sunny” if his role is the lead. Your child has a strong sense of pride. If he knows about any high expectations you have, he will work very hard not only to meet them but to exceed them. This child is unlikely to have his self-esteem bruised. It’s important to treat this little person honestly and with respect. Provide your child with diverse opportunities—sports, a theater studio, artistic activities, dancing—to help him discover what appeals to him. Then give him the initiative—let him choose what he wants to do. Your child with Mars in Leo will expend maximum energy, work the hardest, and gain the most satisfaction from what he chooses on his own. This child can be quite firm in wanting to make his own choice. The harder you try to impose your own activity on him, the more stubbornly he will resist to do what he has chosen himself.

Here, Mars is a guest of the Sun in the fire element sign. This is one of Mars’ strongest positions. Therefore, it can give you strong will, drive, persistence, and fearlessness, sometimes to the point of recklessness. With such a Mars in Leo, you will likely develop clear authoritarian attitudes, and if you serve someone, you usually do so to the end—once you choose a master or lord, you won’t change. Additionally, you willingly take on responsibility for many things and honestly bear it. You usually exhibit enormous self-confidence, based on the absence of internal prohibitions, and a noticeable strategic mindset (for example, you might wait until everyone has moved on before taking what you need for yourself). Mars in Leo can be characterized by irritability, ruthlessness, and coldness toward enemies. You typically don’t finish off defeated opponents, though only if they can no longer pose a threat—your generosity has certain limits. You are usually very life-loving and very generous with friends and those you love and respect. However, there can be quite strange manifestations: for example, you will fight only when your personal interests are at stake, and in the worst case, only “for yourself,” or in the best case, for your cause or loved ones. With a “wicked” Mars in Leo, you may exhibit arrogance and ambition. In particular, you can sometimes dismiss useful advice from friends. Mars in Leo can also give you the ability for very active creativity. Here, the dynamics of the Fixed Cross will be noticeable—there may be a period of inactivity in your creativity when you are not engaged. Then comes an instant activation, a leap akin to a lion breaking out of a cage, and afterward, for a long time, you are likely to work intensively and with enormous dedication. With such a Mars position, you may generally have greater fertility, high sexual activity, and sometimes a large family. With a “wicked” Mars in Leo, you may also have strained relationships with children, especially with beloved ones. It is obvious that you usually lack the fighting and hunting drive, and it is very difficult to provoke you. You are hard to anger; it would take a very harsh external action or an extreme situation for you to enter a fight. Otherwise, you will almost certainly consider it beneath your dignity to stoop to fighting. As an example, you can cite the parable of the Lion and the Dog: “A Dog ran up to the Lion and said, ‘Let’s fight.’ The Lion refused. Then the Dog said, ‘I will run and tell all the beasts that you, Lion, were afraid to fight me.’ The Lion replied, ‘I was afraid of the Dog, of what the other Lions would think of me for fighting with you.’” A similar position will be in situations where force is applied by a person with Mars in Leo.

Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary
Activity heightened by confidence in success, the vanity of a conqueror, love of struggle and power seized through struggle. The “I” subordinates active efforts. Vulnerability. Failures provoke outbursts of anger or refusal to acknowledge defeat.

Mars gives Leo exceptional energy and enthusiasm—sometimes to the point of self-oblivion. At the same time, it poses the problem of self-control, as such a flow of force must be precisely calculated; otherwise, it will burn everything in its path. Mars also amplifies Leo’s stubbornness, tempting him to respond to unpleasant objections (regardless of their fairness) with a strong strike. In its lower octave, this Mars position gives rudeness, irreconcilability, harshness toward loved ones, and cruelty toward enemies. In a harmonious variant, Mars in Leo speaks of the ability for intense hard work with great enthusiasm, leadership of cohesive teams solving complex tasks. When defeated, the horoscope owner experiences harsh blows, including to their self-esteem. But with years of processing, the necessary wisdom in dealing with people and the flow of energy comes: then they become a practical spiritual mentor.
