Mars Is In Virgo For The Next 6 Weeks — Here's What Your Zodiac Sign Needs To Know
If you've been feeling more passionate, dramatic, or even downright egotistical as of late, Mars in Leo might have been to blame. The energizer planet was in the realm of the Lion since April 18, but now, it's making moves into Virgo.
Known as the perfectionist of the zodiac, we might all adopt a more critical lens as we're encouraged to streamline and optimize our lives. But of course, depending on where Virgo lands in your chart, we'll each be impacted by this transit a little differently.
Here's what to know about Mars in Virgo, plus what it means for your sign.
Motivator Mars makes its way through Virgo from June 17 to August 7
For the next six weeks, we can all expect order in the court. As the AstroTwins recently wrote for mindbodygreen, with action-oriented Mars charging into detail-driven Virgo until August 6, the next month and a half is optimized for efficiency.
"Turn your lofty ideas into actionable plans, complete with budgets and schedules," the twins say, adding that this health-focused, fix-it-fast transit is motivating us to improve every aspect of ours lives, from eating habits to workflow.
In other words, if you've been meaning to start a new healthy routine, the twins note that Mars is supplying the motivation and Virgo is helping you stick with it—and track your results.
Expect a surge in productive energy, "but be mindful of how you come across when doling out advice," the twins warn. After all, Virgo has a reputation for being a bit nitpicky, so you might sound more critical than you mean to. "Mars in Virgo can make us all especially judgmental—you'll attract more flies with honey than with your 'helpful hints.'"
