Mars in Virgo

Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. In Virgo, it expresses itself with an eye for detail and a practical streak.

In Virgo — a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury —, Mars wanders peregrine, but sharpens itself in the rigour of the sign: it gives a critical, cutting gaze that takes apart ideas, processes, and methods to find the flaw and correct it with surgical precision. It is a force that separates what works from what has no reason to exist — excellent for auditing and improving —, provided it moderates its criticism so as not to turn it against itself or against those it loves. A hardworking spirit, tireless in demanding tasks, but one that needs to escape monotony and to tend also to its own body, which it tends to overstrain. It is the Mars of the craftsman and the analyst: energy put at the service of the perfection of the work, exact and exacting.
