Mars in virgo

Mars enters Virgo on 11th July 2023 at 9:41pm AEST (10/7/23 at 11:41am GMT) and will remain in this mutable earth sign until the last few days of August.

As Mars moves from Leo into the sign of Virgo there will be a noticeable difference in how the energy of this red planet will be felt.

Mars is dynamic energy that represents forward momentum, courage and the desire to go out and get what you want. There is a tendency for Mars to be somewhat combative in the process, so there is a need for care and attention as to how this energy is used. It’s best to find constructive rather than destructive methodology when implementing all that Mars has to offer.

That’s where Virgo comes in. Mars in Virgo is an opportunity to pay attention! Virgo can rein in the force of Mars and give it a more grounded quality to help keep your feet firmly on the ground and steady in forward motion during this period.

The nature of Virgo is clever, discerning and is detail oriented. Mars tends to go forth purely on drive alone without much thought to consequences of actions. Whatever it is that we may feel we are “battling through” right now, Virgo will provide a lens that can filter our emotions to a manageable level so not to interfere with any decisions we make or actions we take at this time.

Earth can smother Fire. Virgo’s mutable influence on Mars will be less inhibiting so as not to put out the fire, but to keep it in a tempered state where the heat remains without having to raze everything to the ground in the process.

Mars is conjunct Venus in Leo so there can be some sexual tension and conversations around who demands the most attention in the relationship and if this dynamic can continue in its current form. Mars is also semi-square to Hades so if there is a need to dredge up all the relationship baggage, try to make sure its to help not hinder what it is you’re trying to achieve.
