Mars in Leo in the Eighth House

A colocação de Marte em Leão indica que tem necessidade de se expressar e de ser criativo nas suas acções e através delas. Isto manifesta-se muitas vezes como o desejo de que as suas acções sejam notadas ou como um desejo de atenção, em geral. Grande parte do comportamento e muitas das caraterísticas de personalidade associadas a Marte em Leão são o resultado da sua propensão para tomar medidas que o coloquem no centro das atenções e reforcem a sua autoestima e personalidade.

A colocação de Marte em Leão é geralmente harmoniosa. Isto é simbolizado pelo trígono natural entre Leão e Marte Áries. Leão é o signo do Fogo Fixo. O fogo fixo de Leão simbolicamente energiza e dá força ao princípio ativo de Marte. A energia de Marte é livre, com o único perigo de se tornar demasiado poderosa e dominante.

Marte também simboliza o animus na psique. Assim, se for homem e tiver Marte em Leão, é provável que modele a sua masculinidade de forma a incorporar caraterísticas tipicamente associadas a Leão, que é um signo geralmente associado a uma energia masculina. Se for mulher, é provável que se sinta atraída por alguém que projecte ou incorpore traços associados a Leão.

Inseguranças

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 8th House:

Mars in the 8th House is generally well-placed. This view, however, seems to be greatly influenced by Mars’ association with desire and sexuality. The 8th House is traditionally the house of sexuality and Mars’ placement here suggests a masculine sexuality that is “in its element.” Following this line of thought suggests that you are generally able to intimately express your sexuality.

Another dynamic that is suggested by Mars in the 8th House is the enhancement of your ability to act through the power that comes from intensity and focus. This is a power that generally comes from within you and allows you to act with force and confidence. It is your intimate involvement with your actions and with the thing or situation acted upon that is the source of this power in action.  Having Mars in the 8th House, you, generally, are not afraid to act. You know, often intuitively, both the appropriate form and the ultimate consequence of your actions. Your actions may, therefore, appear to others to be strong, powerful and fearless. This often inspires trust and respect. The outcome of this is often that you are placed in a position where you can lead or manage others.  With Mars in the 8th House, the intimacy that you wish to experience through your actions is often viewed by you in terms of control. If you can control through your actions, then you can enforce an intimate relação with the object of control. This desire for control sometimes becomes an obsession. It may extend to all of your actions, from a desire to have power over others, to a desire to maintain control over your own actions, to a will to dominate your sexual partner.  As an individual with Mars in the 8th House, sometimes this desire for control can have an inhibiting effect on your active function. You become retentive and may have difficulty acting. You may wish only to act in secret so as to protect your “power.” The polarity of this is the urge to liberate the power of action that resides within you.

Inseguranças

Having Mars in the 8th House, if you are inwardly insecure, this will lead you to crave intimacy but you find none that you can obtain. In actuality, your ego will always stand in the way of experiencing intimacy but you are not willing to give up your ego. Instead, you are determined to be master of the “other,” whether this “other” is your partner, your associates or the situation in which you find yourself. With Mars in the 8th House, you cannot let go because, in your eyes, this would mean losing control. Therefore, all of your actions are bent upon securing and maintaining control. In this way, you seek to tie others to yourself.

As an individual with Mars in the 8th House, if you cannot control a situation, then you may react with one of two polar responses. You may lash out violently, desperately trying to enforce the intimacy of your control. Or, you may withdraw into your own intimacy, where you can be assured of “control” and where you can brood over the wrongs that have been done to you and plot your revenge.

Foco dos desejos

With Mars in the 8th House, your desires are generally bound up with seeking intimacy or control.  This may manifest as a desire for sexual intimacy or for power. For some individual with Mars in the 8th House, this desire for power may be expressed through the occult. For some, the desire for intimacy may be focused on that experience of ultimate intimacy with life and death.  Your desires are likely to be private and to remain private. You may consider them to be too intimate to share, even with those closest to you – or, certainly, only with those closest to you.
