Mars in Virgo

In this post, we are continuing our transit series of planets moving through the signs. We are typically only going to focus on superior planet transits which are the planets from Mars outwards. Of course, there may be exceptions. This time we are taking a closer looking at Mars in Virgo.

Transiting Mars Dates 2023

Mars takes two years to fully transit the whole zodiac. Mars will leave Leo and be in Virgo from July 10, 2023 to August 27, 2023 when it enters Libra. That’s seven weeks in the sign of the Virgo the Virgin.

Mars

Let’s take a quick look at Mars. Mars rules the signs of Aries and Scorpio. Mars is an action planet that uses heat and friction for energy release. Mars suggests some activities that get you off the couch. Energy management can be an indication of Mars. Your competitive edge is suggested by Mars. Mars expresses your primate urges and the desire to copulate.

Virgo

Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac and is ruled by Mercury. Virgo is earthy, practical and analytical. Virgo is detail oriented. Mars in Virgo is quite a relatively quiet and non confrontational Mars.

Mars in Virgo

Stimulates practical and methodical projects. Actively pursues projects. Many hot details. Mars does not often display outward expressions of aggression and anger when in Virgo. Here the competition is in the details. For instance, the nature of editing and fact checking is a good expression of Mars in Virgo. 

Mars’ Transit of Virgo What to Expect

Virgo Sun

If you have the Sun in Virgo, you will experience a Mars conjoined Sun transit. This could be the impetus you need to get yourself moving. If you have other planets in Virgo they will get stimulated by Mars as it comes by.

Virgo Ascendant

If your ascendant is Virgo then Mars will leave your twelfth house and move into your first house. This is symbolically moving from the dark to the light. And from the unknown into the known. As Mars crosses your Ascendant there will be more activity in your life.

Virgo Midheaven

If you have a Virgo Midheaven Mara will activate your reputation during activity into your career. You may receive acknowledgements for your past actions. This will likely get the blood pumping around.

Mars Return

A Mars return is when Mars comes back to its natal position. This will happen for most people once in every two years. My Mars is at 13 Virgo and that means I’m having a Mars return on July 31, 2023. When Mars reaches its natal position, it triggers all your natalMars aspects and recalibrates any that have drifted off track. You can get more in tune with your Mars energy at a Mara return.

Alison;’s Mars Return Story

Way back in 2012 there was a Mars retrograde cycle in Virgo, that went over my Natal Mars. This created a three-hit transit to my natal Mars. It was at this time that I was spurred into action and I started the Starzology website and blog. I’d never done anything like it before, or since.

I was energized to get the blog populated. I wrote most of my blog posts, that are still live today, during the energy from that triple Mara return. 

I laid out my astrology courses and lessons one afternoon. I took my four kids to the library after school and the older kids needed some books and the young one likes the story hour the librarians put out in the afternoon. I sat against the wall facing forward with a pen and notebook and I laid out the blueprint of what was to become my astrology classes. I divided the classes into three levels namely beginner intermediate and advanced. I wrote the class titles for each series of learning in sixteen classes for each level. This was penned all in one go on one afternoon. Of course, I had to flesh the details out later, but the bones of my project were cemented that day.

The stimulation to action of teaching (3rd house Mars) was, and is, the foundation of my career for the next fifteen years. This culminates in the publishing of my book The Aspiring Astrologer – 52 Self-paced astrology classes. 

Usually, my Mars is quiet and non-confrontational. In Virgo Mars is pretty calm for the most part, but clearly every twenty-four years or so, you may experience a triple hit Mars return.

Mars Transiting Natal Houses

Either way, Mars will transit a house or two in your chart. This will heat up and energize that area of your life indicated by the House. You can anticipate some action, friction and heat in your life as Mars comes by.

People in the Houses

There could be some competition relating to the people in the houses and these are usually the odd house numbers.

People in Houses

For example, the first house is you, the third house your siblings, the fifth house your children, the seventh house your partner, the ninth house your college buddies and the eleventh house your friends and associates.

Other people can be in some of the even houses as well like your financial advisor in the second, your father in the fourth, your vet in your sixth, your surgeon in the eighth, your mother in the tenth and even your ghosts in the twelfth.

Virgo January 2023

Read more about Virgo in general.

 

Virgo Money

Early in the month the financial planet will slip into stimulate your work for money area. You may receive some extra gratuities, bonusses or tips. At midmonth, focus on your serious career as planetary energy stimulates this space for you. A younger man may give you a leg up on the competition or some work inside information that will get you moving.

On January 20th. Your daily sector is illuminated by the Sun. This will be a time where you maybe fall in love with your work. And you find that you are in. An easy balance with what you were doing. Now you will ignore the naysayers around you and pursue the type of meaningful work that appeals to you. Listen to your heart and you won’t go wrong.

Play close attention on the 21st to the New Moon as it augurs well for all types of employment and business in your life. If you receive a job invitation now you will do well to consider it carefully.



Virgo Love

On January 18th, chatty Mercury will turn direct in your love area. This suggests that you will be able to clear the air through conversations with those whom you find attractive.

If you are an artistic type, this would be a perfect time to write some poetry to your lover. Make sure to pay close attention to what your romantic partner says as it will be important to the future of your romance.

In the very last week of the month, you are fortunate in your love life as a beneficial planet will stimulate this area for you.

If your romantic relationships have been fraught recently or somewhat dry, you may find that they are able to blossom in the last week of January. Do not dismiss this positive energy and clear time in your schedule for love.

Virgo Vision

Many Virgos struggle to find their life path and vision, and this has not been helped recently by the very disruptive planet Uranus hanging around in this area.

In the latter part of January, Uranus will shift direction in your favor. Any crazy ideas you get in the third week of January you will need to consider and not just dismiss out of hand as being impractical for you. Do yourself a favor and allow possibilities to be contemplated for your future.

Virgo Wellbeing

The 3rd, 4th and 5th of January are the best three days this month for your wellbeing. If possible, take time to rest and rejuvenate then.

Virgo Creativity

Virgos are not the most genial people. If possible, around the Full Moon on the 11th, make time for a social gathering with friends or colleagues.

People you associate with around the Full Moon will probably be your true friends because they know exactly who you are and have no illusions about you. By the same token, you can clearly see their flaws as well.

This is a time to accept them. The veneer and polish in your friendships will be removed around the days of the Full Moon. Use this time to better understand the people who are close to you in your life.

Virgo Symbology

The symbol for Virgo is the Virgin and the Sun is in Virgo from August 23rd to September 23th.

 

Virgo Key Phrase

The key phrase is “I analyze” and strong Virgo types use this phrase.

 

Virgo’s Ruling Planet

The ruling planet is Mercury the fastest planet.

 

Virgo Polarity, Element and Mode

Virgo is of the element of earth suggesting being in touch, the mutable mode indicating you are flexible and can multi-task and the negative polarity which means you may be shy or reticent.

 

Virgo Keywords

Virgos are particular and this is another word for picky. You like to analyze situations.

You may seem to be finding fault but it is just your attention to detail that makes you aware (more than most) of any imperfections in people or situations. You can be self-critical and this may be a problem when you are young.

Virgos are discriminating and want perfection in life. You are kind, meticulous, fastidious, even, and can be detailed oriented.

Virgo is the sign of those who serve and you are good in this role. You are modest and humble and make excellent workers.

 

Virgo Births

There are more Virgo births than any other sign. Those born under the sign of the virgin are the workers of the zodiac and are often placed in supporting roles.

You do not like being put on the spot and will resist leadership when it is offered to you. It’s like a beehive with one queen bee – the Leo and many worker bees – the Virgos.

 



Virgo Compatibility

Passionate for Pisces.

Loves Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

Friends with Cancer and Scorpio.

Stretches with Gemini and Sagittarius.

Grinds with Aries and Aquarius.

Virgo Gets Things Done

Virgo Gets Things Done

by Alison Price

If you have planets in Virgo you can get things done.

Virgo is a modest sign. Often people with many Virgo placements brush off their accomplishments as old hat when others comment on their abilities by replying simply “Oh, but everyone can do that.”

Well no, not everyone can do the things those with a strong Virgo chart can.

A strong Virgo signature is a chart where there are three or more planets or the ascendant in the sign of the virgin with Mercury direct.

Imagery

The imagery for Virgo is a maiden holding a sheaf of wheat.

Now I propose she did not just get the bundle of cereal handed to her off camera. I imagine she donned her wellies and was down in the field and harvested the grain herself.

SCAN0001-page-001-2 11Miss Virgo then paused for the photo opportunity (our imagery of the constellation) she turns, walks over to the millstone and thrashes the wheat from the chaff.

She gathers up the germs of goodness and enters her kitchen to bake bread. When the loaves are prepared she calmly places them on a clean gingham cloth in a wicker basket. Then serves her nutritious sustenance to the workers in her village.

Simple food, not flashy but full of goodness.

Very practical.

Mercury

The ruling planet for Virgo is Mercury and there are clues in the affinity Mercury has with the hands, handiwork, and craftwork.

Women with Virgo planets are often knitting, baking and crafting things. These seem to be skills which are slowing disappearing as not all girls are taught these subjects anymore.

Men with Virgo placements are definitely handy to have about the place. Mr. Virgo is a guy who can wire a plug, chop onions and bath the dog.

Maybe not at the same time.

Perception

Perhaps the true skill of Virgo is that they look like they don’t know how to do things but in actual fact they do. They don’t yell from the rooftops about what they have done but go about their business attending to what needs doing on a daily basis.

Richard Branson’s Virgin International’s tag line is “More experienced than our name suggests” which about sums it up.

“More experienced than our name suggests”

If you are lucky enough to have Miss or Mr. Virgo living in your home you maybe taking them for granted…

Do you have a strong Virgo signature? Do you have planets in Virgo? Can you get things done? I really don’t expect any comments as the Virgo’s themselves don’t think they are that important.
