Mars In Virgo: Pay Close Attention To Your Love Life

Yes, you’ve heard right, Astro babes. Mars in Leo is winding to an end. Mars in Leo felt like a party that would never end. However, you’re waking up the next day and feeling the weight of the responsibilities you have to return to pressing in. This is Mars in Virgo, ladies. It’s an energy that doesn’t feel like the blast of the last month, but it can benefit some of the signs in more practical ways. 

Mars is everything related to fight or flight, in a nutshell. Mars is drive, passion, conflict, excitement, and yes, sex. It’s the emotions that get our heart pounding and our faces flushed. 

Mars often gets a really bad rap, since it’s the planet of conflict. And yes indeed, Mars has a lot to do with fighting, and wherever it is transiting you must be on the lookout for easily riled tempers. However, it also can be motivating and self-assured. Take the sign that Mars rules: Aries. I don’t know any that actually run around looking to throw hands, but I know many that will never bend over and take abuse. 

When Mars is in Virgo you get all of the Mars themes married to everything that Virgo represents. Mars in Virgo brings passion and energy to the little details. Virgo itself can pick out everything that needs changed or improved, but they may not actually follow through. When Mars passes through Virgo, there is initiative being taken to actually do the thing you’d like to change. 

It’s important to note that Mars does both good and bad in Virgo. On one hand, Mars is a workhorse just like Virgo. You’ll find that productivity can skyrocket during a time such as this. However, it’s sometimes not the greatest for relationships and for being detail oriented. 

Virgo would like to make small cuts with an x-acto blade while Mars runs in with a sledgehammer. For obvious reasons, this can be a point of tension when Mars passes through Virgo. You’ll have to find a way to strike a balance. Your motivation to make improvements can be hindered by an attitude that’s too gung-ho. 

Every sign is going to be impacted by this transit differently, however. For some the emphasis will be on productivity while for others there will be a larger focus on sex. The vibe is also changed when taking into account your sign’s relationship to the sign of Virgo. Is Virgo an energy that you can understand? 

No matter what, every sign will be able to sense a shift as Mars transits into Virgo. Find your own sign to take into account how these changes are going to impact you personally. Is there hot sex or micro-managing coming your way this month? Is there productivity or conflict? Whatever the case, I am here to let you in on it!

Aries

Aries, you’re one sign that is going to be able to sense the changes at hand easily. Mars is your ruling planet, meaning that whatever he’s up to will be on your radar no matter what. As Mars shifts into Virgo, you’re seeing your focus move towards work, labor, routines, and habits. 

If I had to give you one piece of advice for you Aries, it would be to find time for some work while Mars is in Virgo. You’re not usually detail oriented, so your planetary ruler going through the nit-picky Virgo can be a blessing if you have work that needs to get done. I highly recommend using this time to catch up on everything that you might have put off while Mars was in fellow fire sign, Leo. 

On the sexual front, you could be getting the hots for a co-worker right now, Aries. However, your attempts to come on to them could be seen as too brash and intense if you’re not careful. Take a deep breath and slow your roll so that you don’t scare them away and you might find a sexy hookup in your future.

Taurus

Ooh la la, Taurus, you’re looking at an incredibly beneficial time for romance and sex! Virgo is a fellow Earth sign, meaning you ‘get’ the energy of Mars in Virgo pretty well. You’re looking at a time full of lots and lots of sex, if you’re interested in accessing this energy. Taurus, if you want to explore your sensual side this is the ultimate time to do so!

You could be feeling the beginning of a blossoming romance that is moving at breakneck speed. Mars can increase the velocity of events, and when it’s in the dating section of your chart, you are looking at a fast-moving relationship. Perhaps you’re crossing physical boundaries way faster than you normally would with this person, or perhaps the ‘talking stage’ was never even a thing with this partner/crush. 

Taurus, you’re not a speedy girl by nature so this speed can leave you reeling. Despite this, I think you’re going to enjoy the overall energy of this transit. You’re feeling totally alive, like the world is a big adventure that you can’t wait to explore. Mars in Virgo has you feeling like you’re on top of the world in romance and in life. 

Gemini

Gemini, Mars in Virgo lands squarely in your house of family, home, and your roots. This can create some mixed feelings within you. This also could be hitting you especially hard since Virgo and Gemini are both connected through their relationship to Mercury. Mars in this area of your chart can create tension within the home. 

This is a good transit for moving and doing house repairs. Mars rules physical activity, so it would revel in the act of lugging around boxes or hammering a nail. On the relationship front, it can cause you to butt heads with those in your home or your family members. 

On the bright side, if you live with your partner, you can expect a period where the two of you are staying in to get frisky… a lot. However, this could be something like make-up sex, because the likelihood that you two are fighting is high. 

In addition, there is a chance that the tension is not coming from within your home, but tension from outside the home is seeping in. For example, maybe the yelling from your upstairs neighbors is keeping you up at night or perhaps you’ve run out of ibuprofen because of all the construction going on next door from morning until night. 

Cancer

Cancer, we see Mars in Virgo entering your house of communication, which could have you acting uncharacteristically. You don’t jive with Mars as a whole, Cancer. Your energy is internally focused while Mars’ energy is externally focused.

Communication in general is not typically your favorite, since you kind of wish everyone would just be as emotionally perceptive as you – that way everything doesn’t have to be laid out word for word. In your opinion, that’s far too straightforward, which is definitely not your style. 

This all could change as Mars enters Virgo. You’ll be feeling less inhibited when it comes to how you talk and communicate in general. In fact, you might find yourself uttering some things that you thought you’d never come forward with! 

Cancer, one positive thing this transit will bring you is some spice to your sex life. If your partner can’t be with you at this time, it’s absolutely perfect timing for sexting and phone sex. Your words are sexy and honest right now, creating the perfect allure for hot and steamy escapades using your words. 

Leo

Leo, you’ve just come off of a high while Mars was in your sign. You’re likely not feeling as straightforward and bold on the whole anymore. However, Mars is still doing its thing, so it’s not all gone, just shifting focus. 

Now we have Mars in Virgo entering your house of resources, money, and your sense of what is valuable. At this time, you are putting a greater emphasis on what passion and drive can offer you in the way of material goods. You could be inspired to get to work now more than ever due to your desire for cool new objects and goods to buy for yourself or others. 

On the other hand, sexual energy moving into the realm of material goods means that you could be looking to incorporate a toy, some sexy new lingerie, or some other gadget into the bedroom. You’re seeking something to really put the sex over the top in a scandalous way!

Impulse spending could be a problem at this time, since Mars takes action first and asks questions like, “do I really need a new Coach bag right now?” later. Flex that Virgo energy and keep a solid eye on your money as it flows out. 

Virgo

Virgo, Mars energy is defining who you are as a person during this transition, and you feel like you’re in your seat of power. Your whole body is radiating sexiness. You’re currently the embodiment of what’s physically attractive to others during this time. Don’t sleep on this energy! Especially if you’re looking to get a little more action in your life. 

You may find that you’re getting frustrated by yourself. You might have about had it with your own B.S. and feel as if you have to fight your own natural urges in order to be a success in the world (and to meet your own expectations). It’s important to improve yourself, but it’s just as important to have self-compassion. Don’t forget this! 

I know that you’re normally incredibly detail oriented, but this period could have you feeling like a bull in a china shop. You aren’t being taken the right way by others and this is frustrating to you. Be patient with yourself and measure the weight of your words before you put them out there. This period could have you purging the weight of things you didn’t know were bothering you, which could come as a big relief. 

Libra

Libra, Mars entering Virgo is challenging you in some big ways. You have a lot of rage that you have no idea how to communicate. You could feel victimized by things outside of your control. This period is asking you to draw inward and consider how your actions are affecting those around you. 

It’s not easy realizing that maybe you were the bad guy in a situation. It’s incredibly difficult to sort through the wreckage of your own soul. And this is exactly what Mars is asking you to do right now. 

Mars is making you feel as if the world is literally out to get you. Humans don’t seem less than kind, and no one is returning the kindness that you give out back to you. When you feel like this, it can cause you to crumble or you might decide not to care. Mars in this position is going to extend a hand and tell you to get up off your knees and make your own life, and what everyone else thinks, be damned!

The positive thing is that Virgo is very good at taking broken pieces and putting them back together in an even better way. Maybe you’re more motivated to look at all of the ways you have been hurt and to be your own hero. It’s a period of deep reflection, Libra. 

Scorpio

Mars in your area of friendships, charity, hopes, and dreams has you wondering, Scorpio, where is it that I want this world to go and how can I help get it there? It’s a period for being proactive and to work towards causes that mean a lot to you. 

Mars in this energy is actually not that bad. It’s motivating you to get mad at presiding power structures while providing you with motivation to take solid action in the direction of your ideals. Mars being your coruler with Pluto, you’re feeling this transit on the same level as Aries is. You’re empowered and willing to go the distance for the things that mean the most to you. 

Scorpio, have you been crushing on a friend? If so, this is your chance to consider getting into a friends-with-benefits scenario. You’re looking hot as hell to someone in your friend group and they’re totally down to walk on the wild side with you! As a daring Scorpio, I know you’re willing to go to the edge with someone you trust. 

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, you’re feeling like the Wolf of Wallstreet as Mars transits your House of career and legacy. Success is important to you and you’ll cut throats to get there. You are feeling as if nothing can hold you back in life, so why would you bother being afraid of the consequences?

As much as this transit can be motivating, you could also experience some conflict in your career. Some power in your life who is older and has more influence than you might be battening down the hatches… and it feels like an attack. You could be defensive, but don’t do anything too hasty. 

On the other hand, you’ve got a prime opportunity to make moves regarding your career right now. You might find the courage to ask for a raise or put your name in for a promotion. Your grit and boldness could be rewarded greatly as long as you back up your requests with action. 

Capricorn

Capricorn, Mars transiting Virgo is encouraging you to do something totally uncharacteristic for you… to throw your reservations out the window. You’re normally calculated and cautious, but Mars is urging you to abandon fear and take life in stride right now. 

You’re feeling motivated to learn new things and expand your mind. If you’re in a position to do so, I would take somewhat of a sabbatical from everyday life and just immerse yourself in great books, good food, and new ideas. You’re more passionate than ever about wandering the world, physically or in your mind. Take a trip if you can, but be mindful of technical screwups as Mars can cause machinery mishaps. 

On the topic of sex, you could be hooking up with someone from a radically different background than you. This could mean differences in race, religion, or country of origin. Either way, you can expect some passionate love from someone who brings something that you’ve rarely seen before to the table.

Aquarius

Aquarius, Mars in Virgo is asking you to go deep within yourself and within others. There is something in your life that simply is not clicking with you anymore. You’re realizing that there is a part of you that needs to die off. It might not be easy, but it is necessary. Mars is cutthroat and won’t hesitate to take out the trash. 

You might find your sex life taking a more intense turn at this time. Shallow sex is not for you and casual hookups will feel inauthentic. You need someone that you can bare your soul to during sex. This person should be willing to push the boundaries of the acceptable norms while communicating their intentions to you. 

Finances could be a source of tension at this time. Perhaps you spent a little too much and now you’re facing the consequences. Maybe you’re feeling the squeeze of an unacceptable credit score. Either way, you have an opportunity to do something about this if you decide to be proactive. 

Pisces

Mars is entering your house of long-term relationships, creating in you an urge to go out and get that significant other that you have been dreaming about. Pisces, you’re not typically the first to make a move in relationships, but this could change as Mars transits your House of partnership. 

Sex with your committed partner is mind-blowing right now. You’re having a lot of sex, and you’re likely trying out new techniques and methods to take your sex to heights of ecstasy that it’s never gone to before! You’re realizing that practice makes perfect between the sheets, so it’s best to have a lot of it with someone who is willing to work as hard as you. 

You could be butting heads with your significant other at this time, so it can prove to be a time of tension for a short while. Usually, you’re willing to forgive and forget quite quickly when Mars is involved. You’re being driven to commit whole heartedly to your love as well, making you passionate in love on all fronts.

Wrapping Up

Mars in Virgo is exactly what you make it. Virgo is all about hard work, so the key takeaway for this transit is that if you’re willing to do the work, then your passion might be channeled in the best possible way. 

As tempting as it can be to run into your passions full force, I advise that you take a deep breath and assess the situation first. When you determine the best way to direct your energy then strike with all your might!

Keep in mind the information that I’ve given you while Mars moves through Virgo. You’ll realize that these themes pop up all over the place during this time. Don’t be shy, but don’t be careless either. 

How do you plan to use this shift in passion and energy during this time? Does this transit seem like a bummer or a motivator? Let me know your hot takes in the comments below! 

Wishing you all the luck in the Universe,
