The fighting spirit pulsates directly from the heart, a passionate and fiery temperament flowing through the veins. The fighter is endowed with solar light and vital energy in this position and the martial Leo experiences life vibrantly, powerfully and explosively. Mars is glowing and equally volatile under the solar life force, undergoing emotions full of life, creative energy splurges and romantic & sexual charisma. The individual is entirely individualistic and has strong determinations involving their self-expression and the development of their confidence. Mars is the animalistic ego and Leo is governed by the solar ego (sun), aligning to create a majestic, hearty and dynamic drive that is aggressively independent, inspirational and honorable.

Emotions are typically on overdrive and dramatized; Mars in Leo displays joy and love that is radiant, loud, exuberant and magnetic, vibrating through loved ones and kindling warmth in their hearts. Likewise, their anger and sorrow are theatrical tragedies of the weeping soul and one makes it known to those around their inner circle, especially when they feel no one cares enough to pay attention. Mars in Leo has innate fears of abandonment, of being forgotten and not receiving the love and praise they feel they deserve and could revolt by means of exhibiting temper, plentiful tears and excessive neediness. One gives much of their love, loyalty and protection to those they deem as ‘special’ and all they desire is for their adoration to be reciprocated. Any wound received from motivating, prominent or inspirational figures in the life is magnified and perceived as devastating punctures of the ego and heart and although generally forgiving, one is not forgetful. 

Mars in Leo is generally attracted to those who are confident, exciting, charismatic, loyal, fun-loving and passionate, and likewise demonstrates as such through their character. They may pursue by means of exhibiting a “knight in shining armor,” so one presents a charming and courteous character to lure and yet this also shows one to flaunt the glimmer and value of their armor and prestige, to show their presence is worth the effort. The individual enjoys uniting romantic and sexual pleasure with intimate partners, indulging in the attention they receive and imprinting their memory in lovers through their performances of sparkling affection.

The battle within is related to the struggle to find self-respect, gratification, self-assurance and courage. Mars in Leo can go through sessions of crippling insecurity, self-doubt and embarrassment concerning their abilities. They are over reactive and sensitive to criticism, judgment, humiliation, disrespect and insults, responding with erratic rage, irritation, resentment and antagonism of themselves and others. One has a competitive and willful streak, finding displeasure in losing and bitterness in following, as being a follower rather than a leader makes one to feel weak and takes away their right to self-govern. The battle outside of themselves surrounds what they feel strongly about; the direction of their drive and origin of the fighting will comes alive for injustices done to people deemed as unworthy, and they fiercely advocate for the rights of individualism, love, and self-expression.

Leo governs the source of heartfelt Creativity and Love, and the individual characterizes these principles through mars animatedly. They put their creative essence and loving soul into everything, taking pride in generating inspiration, originality and imagination with fondness, tenderness and delightful emotion. There is a youthfulness in these people, the golden and chosen child, that emanates vivid love, innocence and purity. Leo is representative of the Lion too, the dignified king or queen of their domain with a presence that is powerful, magnificent and Known, possessing a will of fire and heart of gold.

Stop what you’re doing and please reblog this. Innocent people are being murdered, people are trapped, have no internet access, and are being raped by the dozens on the streets of Sudan.

The death toll is estimated to be over 300 civilians. And the fact that not a single major news outlet is covering this is horrific and disgusting. Please help get the word out about Sudan!
