As Mars passes through Virgo, we find energy that is not overtly aggressive in the traditional sense, simmering beneath the surface and taking on that time. Mars in Virgo is a defender and not a conqueror. It fights not for glory, but for the protection of the family, the motherland. It may tolerate injustice for a long time, but when pushed beyond its limits, Mars in Virgo fights back with uncompromising forces.
Direct attacks become awkward as Mars does not retain strength due to its dignity here. Instead, this Mars works with destructive accuracy and wins a war with the female rather than the sword. It is tactical, meticulous and often devastating to its critique. Mars in Virgo has the forensic ability to separate flaws and inconsistencies, whether it be a person, argument, or system. It is a talent that can serve on the battlefield of art, business or ideas.
Virgo Theme Transit Mars
- Defender’s Wrath: Mars is not an attacker, it is an Avenger. It steps up when all other options are exhausted, and often leads to a fierce rebound of power dynamics.
- Forensic Accuracy: A female, not a sword, this Mars can be dismantled, analyzed and reconstructed with unparalleled skills. There is nothing to escape critical eye.
- Outsider’s Mission: Mars in Virgo fights for causes that challenge the status quo. These natives often appear abrasives or radical, but are driven by a higher call that transcends personal interests.
Here, the swing between suppression and dul is worth noting. With Mars in Virgo we can live in an age of extreme abstinence, followed by an unlimited consumption stage in the wild, whether it be love, career, or even food or pleasure. Often, this transit has a feast or famin rhythm. Like Celes, everything has its seasons, but Mars speeds up the cycle, producing rapid rises and sharp falls equally sharp.
This speech during transport can be particularly chewed. Mars here tends to be cruelly honest, often wielding words as weapons. It can be very clear, but their style of telling truth is often alienated, as it often feels like a bitter medicine. Their criticism was cut to bone, but in time their warnings proved to be visionary. Like sharp scalpels, they remove the sick ones, but this process is rarely painful.
