Onzekerheden

With Mars in Leo, being insecure in your selfhood, you need attention in order to validate your reality. Your ego subconsciously knows that it is not real, but if it is receiving attention, it can persist in the illusion of its reality. You are, therefore, obsessed with the need for recognition and attention. You never feel that you are getting enough attention for yourself. Having Mars in Leo, you continually attempt to monopolize the stage of life and call attention to yourself through outrageous, and even obnoxious, behavior. Alternatively, you may feel that all eyes are on you and you become timid about self-expression and assertive action lest your imperfect performance bring embarrassment or, worse, the dark secrets of your self are laid bare for all to see. Or, worse than that, you may perform and no one notices.

Mars in the 7th House:

Mars in the 7th House suggests that you need to achieve a balance between your need for relatie and your need to assert your own will. Traditionally, Mars is in its decline in the 7th House and this placement is often associated with a weak or unassertive will and a submissive nature. The placement of Mars opposite the house that it rules, however, suggests that the path for you to travel, with regard to actualizing your desire/action function, is one of resolving opposites and seeking complements between apparent opposites. With Mars in the 7th House, you may have a tendency, particularly early in life, to be out of balance when it comes to asserting your will within the context of the desires and wills of others.

As an individual with Mars in the 7th House, you are likely to pursue your desires through your involvement in relaties. The actions that you are most concerned with are likely to take place within relationships or may involve cooperation or partnership with others. One-on-one relationships are likely to be particularly important for you in achieving your goals.  Naturally, when you are operating in this mode, you will tend to treat the desires and motivations of others with consideration. Having Mars in the 7th House, you will likely bend to the will of those with whom you are involved. You realize that your welfare, the attainment of your desires, is dependent upon others and, therefore, you will usually seek to please or gain the favor of others. If carried too far, this could lead to an unbalanced desire/action function. It could even lead to dependence or co-dependence.

Onzekerheden

With Mars in the 7th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will secretly harbor your desires but will not express them without the “permission” of others. Even then, you act only in ways that you believe are sanctioned by your relationship. You may well have no idea what your true desires are. Your actions may be totally dominated by the (perceived) desires of your partner. You may, thus, be perceived as weak-willed and totally under the domination of your partner.

Having Mars in the 7th House, though you do not acknowledge your own desires, they nevertheless exist and will assert themselves, often deviously and perversely. While thinking that you are doing what pleases your partner, you may actually be engaged in achieving your own agenda. Thus, the actions that you perform in the context of your relationship often go awry and conflict between you and your partner is likely to be the result.

With Mars in the 7th House, you may feel that you can never do what is right to please your partner. In fact, often you do not do what will really please the partner. Sometimes your partner’s reaction may be violent or demeaning. With your own desires continually unacknowledged and frustrated, you may be overwhelmed by impulsive and often destructive actions. This may fuel the conflict that exists within your relationship.

As an individual with Mars in the 7th House, sometimes the roles may be reversed. You will over-compensate for your insecurities about your desires and actions and for your fear of being dominated by others. You will preempt these fears by becoming the dominant partner in a relationship. Driven by the need to protect your own self-perceived weakness, you may become particularly aggressive and dominating in your relationships with others.

Focus van verlangens

Having Mars in the 7th House, your desires are focused on or through relationships. You have a strong desire for close relationships. You may very well feel that you cannot live happily without being in a relationship. You may see participating in a successful relationship as a primary goal in your life. Consequently, you may work very hard at pleasing your partner and developing the relationship.

With Mars in the 7th House, you are likely to be aware of your partner’s desires and take them seriously.  You may feel that you have very few desires of your own, but that you and your partner’s joint desires are sufficiently motivating. It is not uncommon for you to receive much of your motivation from your partner. The challenge with Mars in the 7th House is for you to learn to express and act upon your own desires within a relationship. This will result in the relationship actualizing as a fuller partnership.
