If you have Mars in Leo, you don’t do anything halfway or in secret. When you want something, you go for it with your whole heart and you want people to see you do it. Your energy is warm, big and hard to ignore.
Pride is your engine. You work hard because you want to be proud of what you make, and you want the people you love to be proud of you. You lead naturally, and you’re fiercely loyal to anyone on your side.
Mars in Leo wants to be chosen, loudly and on purpose.
Your gift is generosity and courage. Your challenge is ego: learning that being wrong, or being second, isn’t the end of the world.
What Mars in Leo is attracted to
You’re attracted to people who are confident, stylish and a little bit dramatic. Someone who can hold their own in a room, who dresses like they mean it, who laughs loudly. You like a partner you can show off, and who shows you off right back.
Admiration is a huge turn-on. Being complimented, noticed, desired out loud. Grand gestures work on you, even if you pretend they don’t.
What turns you off: stinginess, people who ignore you, and anyone who flirts with someone else in front of you.

The good news is you don’t stay angry long, especially if someone offers a sincere apology or a bit of recognition. What helps: separating ‘they hurt me’ from ‘they don’t respect me’, which aren’t always the same.
