Mars in Leo

23 August 1970, 12:10, Madras, OR, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to River 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 10th house

You know exactly that you want and also, how to achieve it (as fast as you can, because you aren't very patient). You are extremely combatative and ambitious, you spend most of your time and energy achieving success in public life, politics, sports, etc. You are dynamic and impetuous, also aggressive and dominant with great power or influence on others, that is why you have very good leadership and organizational skills and although you are not very tactful or diplomatic, other people appreciate and like you because of your outstanding life strength which you radiate.

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 square Saturn

You are usually decisive, energetic, enterprising and ambitious, also stubborn. You have a strong desire to succeed in business, but you also often have a rigid character and are not perceptive to other ways, you know the best and do the best. You are critical and demanding, you can also be harsh and even cruel. You aren't too understanding of others, so you can't always cooperate with them well and your business path can be difficult because of it, until you try to also put yourself in other people's shoes and start nurturing compassion.

Mars square Neptune

You are emotional, sensitive and have strong intuition, but it is often not of much help to you; whether you don't follow it or you place too much importance on different possible perspectives, which are often only your mind constructs and fantasies or even your escape from reality and this actually distances you from the right path. You indulge in daydreaming and sometimes you spend too much time and attention daydreaming, so you are caught in a vicious circle of inactivity and stressful and depressive emotions.
