Mars in Leo
Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. In Leo, it expresses itself with warmth, pride and a longing to shine.
In Leo — a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun —, Mars has no major dignity, but the fire of the sign lends it brilliance: it lights up a courageous and combative nature, hungry for power and recognition, that needs the stage to assert itself. It is the fighter who slays the Nemean lion and his own fears, and parades himself in the foe’s hide: the greater the challenge, the more determination he channels. The risk — alive in this sign of pride — is not knowing when to lower the guard, for a mind at war draws more war. When he learns to stop, he finds the peace he seeks without confessing it. It is a regal and theatrical Mars, that fights for honour and for applause, valiant when the cause is worthy of his name.
