MARS IN VIRGO : ACTIVE AND STRATEGIC MIND
EYE ON THE SKY– MARS IN VIRGO JULY 28-SEPT. 13TH
Mars transits into Virgo on July 28th and stays there for about six weeks until Sept. 13th. It is an afflicted transit due to the oppositions from Saturn and Neptune into August 8-9th. Mars is not combust until Nov. 6th this year, so we have a while to worry about that one.
Mars does well in houses 3rd, 6th, and 11th from the natal Moon, Sun, or ascendant, so those with Aries, Cancer, or Scorpio Ascendant, Sun, or Moon will benefit most, provided their Ashtakavarga points are high and there are no conflicting malefics in Virgo to offset the favorable transit. Virgo and Gemini rising may have the most challenging aspects, as Mars and Mercury get along the least. This is a 1st and 4th house transit for the two signs, which can increase health issues or Pitta/fire imbalances for Virgo rising, and domestic arguments, home, and car repair problems for Gemini.
If you have an afflicted Mars in Virgo in your natal chart, you will have to watch the transit for the next six weeks. It may create an overactive mind, but on the positive side, it will make you a good strategic planner. Just having Mars in Virgo, a sign ruled by Mercury, can lead to a lot of verbal debating and a tendency to continue fighting without knowing when to stop. Be patient with people and accept them as they are. There is a tendency towards perfectionism, which is often a trap for Virgos. If you have an afflicted Mars in Virgo in your natal chart, you may be inclined to broken relationships and tend to exaggerate and be prone to digestive problems, accidents, wounds, and cuts. In transit, observe and see if these qualities come up. Virgo is an enemy sign because Mars is an active planet and does well by just “doing” and gets slowed down by thinking and being too strategic. Watch out for an overactive mind, aggressive thinking, difficulty stopping when verbally attacking others, impatience, and combative relationships.
Whenever a planet appears in Virgo in any sign of the zodiac, it means where we need to be better, improve, or be pure. Being the natural 6th house of the zodiac, it means that we need discipline in our regular work, health, and diet to prevent illness. Additionally, we need to develop skills to work with people so that we do not build enmity with coworkers. There can be too much self-deprecation and a continual beating oneself up on the dark side, or a continual focus on always wanting to do it better, which can also become a good quality. Key words to remember are purity and improvement.
Virgo is the natural 6th sign of the zodiac, so it is a health and service sign, and Mars can overcome the challenges of this transit through discipline, being of service, being a good co-worker, and staying out of fights. Still in the 6th sign of the zodiac and for Aries Rising, when afflicted, it can bring up more illness, wounds, cuts, and fevers, so stay on top of diet and health. We often worry about the planet’s health when malefic transits through Virgo, and the Mars transit will likely lead to a spike in health problems for many. The Sun enters Virgo from Sept. 17 to Oct. 17, and Mercury enters Virgo from Sept 15 to Oct. 2. Whenever we have a concentration of planets in Virgo, we have to focus on health and discipline.
Aries rising individuals may need to be disciplined with their health, but they can overcome problems with coworkers and other challenges. Scorpio Rising also needs to stay on top of these same issues, but it is an 11th house transit from the ascendant and can support the fulfillment of desires, friendship, and increases in income. However, watch out for in-fighting with groups you may be a part of.
