Mars in Leo
You are proud and probably have a big ego. You want to excel, to
stand out and be recognized for who and what you are. You like to be
Number One. It is difficult for you to take orders or to stay in the
background. You like to be noticed and will do things in a dramatic
manner just to get attention and be seen. You hate being wrong and may
insist that you are always right. You are forceful, strong, energetic,
artistically creative, determined, and highly competitive. You play
hard, you play to win, and you do not give up easily. In fact, you
see life as a competitive sport, game or performance. You love
admiration and applause, and you have a strong sense of personal honor
and integrity. You tend to be very self-confident, even arrogant.
But you may become self-conscious, defensive, and rather belligerent
if your self-confidence is shaken. You tend to be enthusiastic,
rather impulsive, full of energy, and ambitious. You are very ardent
in matters of love and will pursue your love interest with great
fervor and passion, letting nothing get in the way of your desires.
You don't beat around the bush, but say exactly what you feel, often
in an embarrassing direct way. On the negative side, there may be a
love of taking risks or of gambling. You can be quarrelsome,
argumentative and jealous. There may be heart trouble if physical
activity is overdone when you are not in shape or if anger is allowed
to vent destructively. Energy and passion both need to be
disciplined. You need to be admired for your actions.
