Mars in Leo
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort noticed. Drive is warm, proud and sustained when it is appreciated; anger is dramatic and quickly forgiven. This is the placement of the performer, the leader and the generous competitor. The weakness is vanity and a poor response to being ignored. The work is to do the thing when no one is watching.
In plain words
Mars stands for your drive and your temper. In Leo, that works in a Leo way: warm, proud and wanting to be seen. You do things with heart and want them noticed.
