Planets in signs and houses
Mars in Virgo
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
Your energy is used in an orderly, detailed, efficiency-minded way. You work hard and quietly, and you like fixing whatever is faulty. Anger tends to come out as criticism or irritation over small things. Beware of working until you are stressed and anxious. Set limits on working hours and use routine exercise to release tension, and your diligence will become sustainable.
Mars in a birth chart
Mars is the planet of energy and action. It describes how you assert yourself, go after what you want, compete, defend your boundaries and express anger. It is your drive, and it shows whether you tend to charge ahead, hold back or wait for the right moment.
Virgo at a glance
- Element
- Earth
- Modality
- Mutable
Virgo is mutable earth, and Mercury rules it, which gives this Sun an analytical, practical mind in service of making things work. You notice details others pass over: a loose thread, a flaw in a plan, the small fix that changes everything. You tend to feel at ease when you are useful and when your surroundings are in order. Under a modest manner sits a sharp, steady intelligence that is always refining.
