leo mars ➫ the master thread

Leo is ruled by the Sun, so when the planet of ambition, drive, and sexuality enters Leo this can be an incredibly larger than life presence. A Leo mars person is incredibly dedicated to their commitments, but they respond more to their desires than any other mars sign.

A Leo mars person is fueled by what keeps their adrenaline going. They're very cat-like, calculated and intense. They're constantly trying to make sense of the world around them and find their purpose in it. But, they often go for temporary fixes over long-term solutions.

They understand very early on that the world is quite shallow and frivolous, and to succeed in a world like this they must navigate pursuits just as equally. This doesn't reflect their desires as much as their need to fit in or be seen as likable by others.

Don't be fooled though, they know what it takes to get ahead in life and are willing to put the work in. But, they might carry a very glittery presence while doing so. They can make mundane tasks look larger than life. Which help them get noticed by supervisors/upper management

Underneath all of this, they're ruled by the need to be loved and be seen as an asset to others. They do things based on how they can be accessible to others. How they can be of more value to their family or loved ones, or even to strangers who might need something from them.

This could also be why a Leo mars person is one of the scariest people when p*ssed off or disappointed in someone. Their pain comes from deep-seated insecurities of not being worthy or good enough, and this can come out quite lethally when upset.

At their best a Leo mars is amicable and gracious. They aren't caught up in fancy titles or things, they're more impressed by the kind of person you are underneath it all. As they might feel like they struggle with a duality of power and vulnerability trapped in one body.

Romantically, a Leo mars person is passionate and quick to let it be known how they feel toward the person of interest. They know their worth and will make you know as well. Compliment their ambition and you have their interest, compliment their soul and you have their attention.

Leo mars people are like shining stars, we need them to feel inspired and encouraged. They are the biggest motivational speakers, cheerleaders, and entrepreneurs. They size up situations instantly and can spot weaknesses/strengths within five seconds of being present.

I will say though, a Leo mars person answers to a fixed modality. When they've decided they want something they will go to the ends of the earth to get this. They won't back down from a challenge, and they won't walk away from someone they believe in (even when they should).

So if you have a Leo mars person in your life, be honest with them. Show up for them, encourage them even when they seem tough because I assure you most of the time it's an act. They know their worth but they also find themselves questioning it in spite of themselves.

Last but not least, don't lie to them. They have extremely strong bs detectors and have perfected being able to detect a slight hint of a lie, even before you think about deceiving them. Remember, cat-like reflexes. They might be a lot of things, but deceptive isn't one of them.

IN SUMMARY: Leo mars people are fueled by the need to be helpful and lovable to others, they are consumed by a luxurious life and often follow where the glitter is. But, they are both the struggling artist and the bored rich housewife captured in one body.

They want nice things, but seldom will you see them ask for it. What they want they'll be the first to roll up their sleeves and work for. If you have a Leo mars person in your life - send them that sappy appreciation text. Or postmates them food randomly, they might cry.
