How strong is Mars here?

Succedent houses (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) follow the angular houses and are about building, sustaining and securing what has been started. Astrologers read planets here as working steadily, with results that show over time.

The 5th house corresponds to Leo, ruled by Sun. Mars doesn't rule Leo, so it is read as bringing its own style of drive, action and assertion to the house's themes.
