Mars, ruler of the body. Divine masculine warrior-god of the stars. Mars in Virgo means only one thing: total commitment to a daily practice. Mars acts and lives. Let’s travel out of the mind and dreams into the reality of our intentions. I’m very excited about this transit. Bow your head and surrender to Virgo’s graceful rhythm!
I think waking up to Mars in Virgo will feel like rising from bed after a long night of sorrow, a night of letting go and giving in to what must be. Intuition speaks until heard. Mars in Virgo is a serious warrior who dares not ignore even the softest call. We’ll get a really good idea about what the rest of the year holds with this transit. When people ask me what’s going on celestially these days, I like to use the metaphor of cogs in a machine. It’s time to polish and fine tune so that everything operates as smoothly as possible.
With Mars in Virgo, we turn to the body as a source of discipline. To give you an idea of what he’s looking for, I’ll share my intention: renewed commitment to daily yoga and meditation upon first waking. Mars in Virgo demands a routine. With Mars hanging in Leo for the last couple months, we’ve been lounging and lazing more than usual. This ends now! Mars in Virgo contracts. We’ll be more conservative with our words, expenditures and bodily movements. Think efficient, thrifty and practical. I suggest a ritual involving outdoor exercise or some Virgo Yoga.
The pace of life will crescendo now. Although Mars in Leo is magnificent in his own way, he’s a bit of a slacker and doesn’t really want to sit down and take The Test. It’s time to roll out of bed, take a deep breath, walk into class and begin. If you’ve been waiting for something to come along and get you on track, this is it, lovely people. Mars in Virgo is the voice of the reason; the life coach; the inspiring personal trainer; the expert assistant; the motivator; the tireless workhorse. Need I say more? Get ready! 
If you were born with Mars in Virgo, this transit will be a return for you. More on that later! To ascertain your personal Mars sign, click here.
