In this combination, when Mars—the lord of the ascendant (Lagnesh)—is positioned in the 5th house in the sign of Leo, it significantly impacts multiple houses including the 1st (Lagna), 3rd (Courage), 5th (Intellect and Children), 8th (Mysteries and Sudden Gains), 9th (Fortune), 10th (Career), 11th (Gains), and 12th (Expenses, Foreign Lands).
Mars gains strength in Leo and further empowers the Sun (ruler of Leo). Since Mars is the Lagnesh, the 1st house (self/personality) is naturally affected. Additionally, all the houses ruled or influenced by the Sun—like the 1st, 5th, 9th, and 10th—are also impacted. Being the significator of courage, Mars also influences the 3rd house.
Due to Mars’s aspects:
4th aspect on the 8th house (which Mars also rules),
7th aspect on the 11th house,
8th aspect on the 12th house,
the effects of these houses are also seen prominently.
The native is likely to have a strong personality, good physical strength, and a charismatic presence. They may be an excellent speaker and possess leadership qualities. There is a heightened interest in sports, a competitive nature, and an aversion to losing. Such a person may hold authoritative positions, possibly in government or defense services.
Their children will likely be obedient and influenced by the native’s strong personality. The native tends to be fearless, brave, and willing to take risks. They are likely to complete their education through self-effort and may have special knowledge in warfare, weaponry, and related fields. Interest in occult knowledge or hidden sciences (8th house) is also seen.
The native could be an in-depth researcher or someone who digs deep into subjects. Interest and gains from the stock market are possible. Fortune may rise through government-related work or influence. A profession related to property or construction is also indicated.
There may be gains through elder siblings, but avoiding disputes is advised. The native should be careful about conflicts with employees, as it may affect financial prospects. They might work in property-related fields, possibly away from their birthplace.
All effects described are general and can vary depending on the overall planetary positions in the birth chart. The native is likely to experience increased anger or aggression; hence, it is recommended to perform water abhishekam on a Shivling and chant “Om Namah Shivaya” regularly for mental peace.
