Mars Enters Virgo
Mars Enters Virgo
17th PDT 1:36 AM / 17th AEST 6:36 PM
Mars ingresses into Virgo, leaving the Leo territory that it has been transiting on and off since November 2024, due to its retrograde. Here, battle tactics require less spin than strategy. We don’t need to be the loudest, flashiest or even the most courageous to win now. What DO we need is a game plan, which we might have neglected to maintain, especially during the past few months, where plots were lost in the shuffle of Leonine theatrics.
Mars in Virgo is an interval where we don’t get as many *chances* as Mars in Leo provided. If we can hold attention while Mars is in Leo — if we keep others amused or entertained — people are generally willing to give us the benefit of the doubt. But while Mars is in Virgo, we don’t have additional sex appeal and charisma to fall back on. If there is no substance behind our posturing, it will be evident. We might only have one chance to make a pitch or implement a scheme, so we must be mindful of windows of opportunity AND pursue our goals with precision.
Fortunately, we have all the skills we need to be successful, but this is where it is critical to know your strengths and weaknesses. Mars in Virgo doesn’t want you to be a jack of all trades — it wants you to be a master of one or two highly specialized skillsets. This is NOT a time to perform, showboat or dazzle others into giving you the green light. This is a time to prove your excellence. Your only competition is yourself, so don’t stress about someone else filling your niche. If you have the knowledge to back up your credentials, you’ll be taken seriously. The next seven weeks suggest working smarter, not harder. That means being realistic about what abilities are within your wheelhouse and which aims could be better executed by someone who has the experience you lack.
