Mars in Leo

Het Monster: Mars in Leo — I am a star! And I must be at the center of the stage. All spotlights and lamps should shine on me!

Here, Mars is a guest of the Sun, in a Fire sign. This is one of the strongest positions for Mars. Thus, it can grant strong willpower, assertiveness, persistence, and fearlessness—sometimes even courage bordering on recklessness. With this placement, you develop clear authoritarian principles, and if you serve someone, you usually do so to the end; that is, having chosen a master or leader, you won’t change him. Moreover, you willingly take on responsibility for many things and carry it out conscientiously. Typically, you possess immense self-confidence, rooted in the absence of internal prohibitions, and show evident strategic thinking (for example, you may wait until everyone else has acted, then take what you need). For Mars in Leo, irritability, ruthlessness, and coldness toward enemies may be characteristic. You usually do not finish off defeated opponents—though only if they can no longer pose a threat later; thus, your generosity has definite limits. Generally, you are very life-affirming and extremely generous with friends and those you love and respect. But there may also be unusual manifestations: for instance, you fight only when your personal interests are at stake—worse, only “for yourself,” but in the best case, for your cause or loved ones. In a challenged state, Mars in Leo may manifest as overconfidence and excessive ambition. In particular, you may sometimes reject useful advice from friends. Mars in Leo can also give you a capacity for highly active creativity. There will be noticeable dynamics of the Fixed Cross—meaning creative periods of inactivity when you’re disengaged, followed by sudden activation, a kind of leap like a lion escaping its cage, after which you’re likely capable of working intensively and with tremendous dedication for a long time. With this Mars placement, you may also exhibit greater fertility, heightened sexual activity, and sometimes even having many children. With an afflicted Mars in Leo, you may also experience strained relationships with children, especially beloved ones. Clearly, you usually lack combative or hunting fervor, and it’s generally very difficult to provoke you. It takes a very harsh external action or an extreme situation to make you enter into conflict. Otherwise, you’d likely consider it beneath your dignity to stoop to fighting. As an example, consider the fable 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’ll run off and tell all the animals that you, Lion, were afraid to fight me.’ The Lion replied, ‘Afraid of a Dog? Let the Dogs despise me for fighting you, but the Lions will despise me for having fought with a Dog at all.'” A similar attitude applies to situations involving the use of force for a person with Mars in Leo.

Mars gives Leo exceptional energy and enthusiasm—sometimes to the point of self-forgetfulness. At the same time, it poses the challenge of self-control, as such a powerful flow must be precisely regulated; otherwise, it will burn everything in its path. Mars also intensifies Leo’s stubbornness, tempting him to respond to unpleasant objections (regardless of their validity) with a powerful swipe of the paw. In its lower octave, this Mars placement produces coarseness, implacability, harshness toward loved ones, and cruelty toward enemies. In its harmonious expression, Mars in Leo indicates the ability for intense, hard work fueled by great enthusiasm, leading cohesive groups in solving complex tasks. When afflicted, the native experiences severe blows, especially to self-esteem. But with time and experience, necessary wisdom in dealing with people and energy flow is gained—then becoming a practical spiritual mentor.
