The Basics

Mars symbolizes our desires, our energy levels, and how we take action. If your Mars is in Leo, you have a creative and confident approach to life. You are passionate and energetic, and have a strong desire to express yourself and be noticed. You have a dramatic flair and a natural talent for performance and entertainment.

You are competitive and love to be in the spotlight, making you a natural leader and a charismatic influencer. You have a proud and confident nature and believe in your own abilities, making you a force to be reckoned with. Your competitive nature may lead you to be boastful or flamboyant, as you strive to be the best and outshine others. You play hard, you play to win, and you do not give up easily. In fact, you may see life as a competitive sport, game or performance.

While you have a generous and kind heart, you can also be arrogant and bossy, seeking attention and admiration from others. You may come across as self-absorbed at times, with a tendency to put your own needs and desires above those of others.  In conflicts, you can be quite fierce, unleashing a fit of rage — especially if your sense of ego has been offended. You can also hold onto a grudge stubbornly if you think the other person will never change.

*Look at your Cosmodyne scores to see whether your Mars is Harmonious or Discordant.

In our AI model, Mars is considered a Malefic - everyone starts out with a (discordant) negative score and harmony points are added from this base configuration if applicable.  It is perfectly normal to have a negative score.

(As we age, we learn to deal with all of our discordant placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.)

Transits to your Mars, especially from the outer planets, can greatly affect its expression as well.
