That Water Sign inspiration softens her, but it's Leo's vibrant energy that drives this sexy star to succeed. The Fixed Fire Sign shows up in not only the placement of her Sun, but also of Mercury and Mars, two very potent and personal planetary influences. Mercury, the Planet of Communication and Self-Expression, in Leo indicates an individual gifted with a fertile but focused mind and a knack for expressing ideas in the most dramatic ways possible. One thing to watch for with this placement is a sort of intellectual superiority. Not knowing when to take the advice of others over her own self-assured opinions-a quality that comes from the Fixed nature of this Sign-could put up obstacles in Lopez's path to realizing some of her dreams.

When Mars, the Planet of Ambition and Passion, finds itself in Leo, you've got an individual with an enthusiastic drive for power and accomplishment that's rooted deeply in their ego. The main goal of Leo energy, born of that vain and beautiful Lion, is to gain appreciation and applause. And unlike, for example, a Cancer or a Taurus, Leo seeks acclaim for the sake of their pride, not for comfort or material gain. Pride comes up again and again in Lopez's life, through her creative endeavors and in her personal interviews. She's aware of the power she now holds and of the effect her actions and choices have on her fans, and she endeavors to always present herself in the best possible light. Status is vital, and if tawdry bits of gossip or insults come her way, you can be sure that Lopez takes them to heart.  She will not, however, get angry or vengeful: Leo is an openhearted and forgiving energy. Lopez also benefits from the placement of Mars Sextile Uranus in her chart.

This aspect urges her always to strive for more, even just as one goal has been attained. Right on the heels of her big success in Out of Sight, she released her first album, promoting it and touring with it just like any other hard-working performer. Mars also makes a Square (a hard aspect that causes unease in a chart) to Jupiter, the Planet of Philosophy and Good Fortune. If untouched by other more positive aspects, Mars Square Jupiter can lead to excess and recklessness. Lucky for Lopez, she's got the complementary energy of a Trine to Neptune stabilizing the Mars energy in her chart. A Trine is a soft aspect that lends an ease to affairs, opening the flow of energy between the Planets involved in the aspect-in this case Mars and Neptune, the Planet of Illusion and Dreams.

Speaking of Squares, though, Lopez's Leo Sun Squares Jupiter, making her susceptible again to arrogance and an abundance of self-pride. Unless she keeps in mind how hard she's worked and how lucky she has been, an exaggerated self-image and sense of importance could get the better of this super-hot and multi-talented star. She's Leo strong, and pride and vanity are always possible stumbling blocks to ultimate, lasting, satisfying success.
