Mars in Leo

19 December 1915, 05:00, Belleville, France

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Edith as “you”.

Mars is a planet of physical energy and action. It rules the Aries sign and traditionally (before Pluto was discovered) also Scorpio. Mars is also one of the personal planets, because on average it stays in one sign for less than 2 months and therefore has an important influence on our personality.

In personal horoscope, Mars is connected to action, energy, competitiveness, hot-bloodedness and impetuousness. The position of Mars tells us in what way and in what form you express your activity. Mars also indicates your ambitions and the work you do, which is connected to these ambitions.

Mars in Leo

You have a fiery, usually noisy nature (unless you are born in Pisces, Cancer, Virgo or Libra), you have an attractive appearance, a big heart and usually a firm and strong constitution. You are very sociable and popular. You love to enjoy yourself, but are also hard-working and reliable when necessary. You are rather egocentric, stubborn and you often snarl. You like being in dominant position, but have a strong and good influence on people and are probably a positive, firm and honest person. You love fun, sports, betting, good cars, beautiful people; you are interested in everything and you love motion, although you also often take a break and well-deserved rest.

Mars in 9th house

You are a spontaneous, independent and dynamic person, always prepared for change and you also like to introduce changes. You probably enjoy travelling and you travel a lot, you certainly are connected to abroad. Because you are basically interested in everything and you also have an enormous amount of will and energy to fulfill your numerous goals, you are a person of exceptional strengths and talents. You are interested in all sorts of areas, but are mainly concerned with the truth and you often work in journalism, law, etc.

Mars as culminating planet

Because Mars is your culminating planet, you have a strong will and a lot of work energy and drive. You are a natural warrior and leader and although you are not always the most tactful person, people follow you because of your enthusiasm, life strength and energy, which you usually radiate. Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm. You are often successful in politics, army, also sport. With your direct approach, competitiveness and combativeness, you get on people's nerves and often meet people who put a spoke in your wheel.

Mars sextile Pluto

You usually have an extremely dynamic and flexible character. You have an enormous amount of inner strength and energy which you most often use or take advantage of well and sensibly. You also have good instinct and often ‘smell’ good business and/or the right path.

Mars square Ascendant

You are energetic and have enormous physical abilities, but you don't always organize them best and you either waste your energy or you don't have enough of it. You are extremely motivated, competitive and combative, also (self)destructive, that is why you are prone to injuries. If things aren't happening fast enough or as you imagine them to, you try to speed them up, sometimes with inconsideration and even violence, so your relationships with others aren't easy. These characteristics of yours can be the consequence of feeling unaccepted and of lacking attention in early period of life (and you perhaps feel that you always have to prove yourself).
