Mars Transit in Leo

Leo belongs to the Sun, and Mars counts the Sun a friend. Mangala is strong here for about fifty-six days, two fiery grahas meeting in a fiery sign, and confidence and heat both run high.

Leo governs the stomach, the heart, children and authority. Mars here pushes for recognition and command. Leadership taken up now holds as long as the pride stays in check. Where it does not, conflict with authority follows.

The nakshatras are Magha, Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni. Magha, under Ketu, opens with inherited position and old family standing. Purva Phalguni, under Venus, softens the drive toward pleasure and display. Uttara Phalguni, under the Sun, closes the stay with steady duty.

Classical gochara counts Mars well in the third, sixth and eleventh from the natal Moon: Gemini, Pisces and Libra Moons. Leo Moons hold it in the first, where the heart runs hot and sleep breaks, and Scorpio Moons carry it in the tenth and Aquarius Moons in the seventh.

The stay tests how a person holds power. Leading through work done in plain view of others settles questions of position quickly. Guard the heart and keep the temper cool.
