What it means
You want to act so that it's seen: to lead, to perform, to take responsibility for a celebration or project. Admiration adds to your strength, and rivalry is a matter of honor. At work you bring a lot of drive and generosity toward your own people.
The flip side is that anger flares hardest when your pride is hurt: you weren't noticed, weren't appreciated, were laughed at in front of people. Admitting defeat is harder for you than for many.
This isn't about you if you're more comfortable acting in the shadows and public criticism doesn't sting more than usual.
How to check it on yourself
Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.
If your Mars is in Leo
What should match. Recall your three strongest bursts of anger. At least two began with hurt pride — you weren't noticed, weren't appreciated or were made to look ridiculous in front of others.
When it’s not about you. Two out of three were over work or money, and pride had nothing to do with it — this isn't about you.
