Answer 1

Hi Kristy,

There are so many things indicated by this in all realms of life, it's probably better for you to understand it one angle at a time. Since Mars is in the 7th House, Leo. I'll give one brief interpretation from the point of view of the main significance of the 7th House: Marriage.

[PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ASSESMENT IS COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF THE REST OF YOUR HOROSCOPE AND THEREFORE *HAS TO BE* MODIFIED ACCORDINGLY]

[ =( also, you're giving me a western house placement, I bet, and I'm applying eastern methods. You should consider that in reality mars is probably LITERALLY not in the constellation Leo, but in Cancer... in the 6th house, where it is fallen or debilitated. In any case let's pretend theoretically that mars REALLY is in the 7th House (and the Western Zodiac houses have their importance too, even in my eyes ;) ]

Mars in the 7th creates a situation called "Mangal-Dosh". Mars and Saturn are two planets that we really prefer not to have connected in any way with the 7th house. Marriage is very sensitive to the overly cold influence of Saturn and overly hot influence of Mars. Mars in the 7th is bringing a lot of military-type energy to your relationships... argument, competition, conquest, fighting, etc. It makes you quite prone to be injured (physically, emotionally, mentally.. depends on fine tuning the factors) by your marital and romantic relationships.

What you can do about this is:

1) find a partner who also has a Mangal Dosha.

2) you (or someone with Mars in the 7th) will be attracted to martial type, manly people... people with a lot of Mars energy. Try to find a partner who has the POSITIVE side of mars... very energetic and optimistic and protective and strong, NOT the negative side: domineering, controlling, competitive, argumentative, hot-tempered and violent.

I have this aspect and theres nothing wrong with me so don't sweat it! Mines the other way around though ascendent in Leo and Mars in Aquarius!

Answer 3

Hi Kristy!

It isn't necessarily negative, it's just opposite. The mars being in Leo you have defined ambitions. Your ego is tied up with your actions and your actions are ruled by your heart. Therefore, you have great pride in everything you do.

The Ascendant being in Aquarius you are a humanitarian and at first are a bit stand offish. Sometimes you over look others personal needs that are close to you. You tend to focus on the needs of people that you don't know.

Therefore, all in all. You are a unique and independent person. There are likeable qualities in both your Mars and Ascendant that keep you balanced. By having these signs in your chart aren't necessarily negative.

Answer 4

Hi Kristy ,

Adding to what kelly have said above , Mars opposite ascendant can give you a good amount of energy and dramatic predispositions. The meaning of opposition is that you need to learn how to stay in the middle ground since you can go into either end and totally neglecting the other . You may come accross as totally self-centered and aggressive and personal, dramatic and display sudden anger outburst or you can become totally cool , calm, collected , detached and level headed . The opposition energy tend to project outwards , so other people may percieve you as hard to get a grip on, or your temperaments become confusing to people around.

The opposition between Mars and ASC , however, gives you a touch of independence, competitiveness and again, abundance in energy if channelled correctly.

Answer 5

Can be pros and cons.

Your mars in leo would likely be in the 7th house right ?Usually.

You like Leo (or fire type) men but either you control/inspire or are controlled by them and too dependent on the other half for self-esteem.

Especially in leo..

You might appear cool and detached and logical ( Aqua rising)to all  but on a one to one...there could be some flare ups !!! Mars is the god of war afterall so you might clash easily and argue very quickly with your "significant other". It is also in a fire sign..Emotions could be running high.

But that depends on what aspects your mars has with other planets in other houses..

You might be a great motivator though with the right person and give great encouragements to achieve their potential either presenting arguments logically/coolly or maybe getting annoyed if the other does not "get it".

Those two positions could be at loggerhead : logic/calm/reason : asc versus this mars in the 7th when emotions could run high.

Check your venus I would say, sun sign , moon sign etc to see if there would be less confrontational by nature.

Difficult to say when you do not know the rest of the chart...
