Mars in Leo: This is a very masculine combination and it is said of these natives

that they "have the right stuff". The Sun as lord of Mars shows one who is set
apart and unique for qualities of courage, bravery and bold action. Because the Sun
is heroic in quality and Mars is the "god of war" they are sometimes awarded with
medals of honor for acts of bravery in the face of deadly situations. They have
great composure under stress and handle emergencies well. They frequently enjoy
risk and some play the role of daredevil. They have great self confidence, will
power, determination, endurance and stamina. They are extremely competitive and
will sometimes go to deadly lengths to ensure that they will not lose. When they
do, they can be extremely sore losers.

In a diurnal chart, the heat and dryness of the day rarify the actions of the
native making him stand out from the crowd. Those born with this should be careful
of injury because Mars is not of the sect in favor and the day magnifies the
malefic qualities of Mars. These natives can at times be wreckless.

In a nocturnal chart, the cool and moistness of the night counteract the
excessively dry nature of Mars. They may not stand out as distinctly for their
actions as a result, but they are not as wreckless and have greater self control.
Their will power, determination and endurance may in fact be enhanced by the
nocturnal sect, since the excess of heat in the day time can lead to a lack of
control.
