Mars, the strategist and ambitious warrior, transits Virgo from July 28th to September 13th, immediately coming into a dynamic mutual aspect with retrograde Saturn.
Saturn holds us accountable for our karmic actions and divine timing. Mars is the brute force of our will. In Virgo, Mars gets to work, acting in a measured and tactical way, interested in our well-being and security, paying attention to material details and long-term planning. What felt blocked gains momentum now. From our health, work, relationships, and presentation, how we bring ourselves forward into the world.
Mars now off the throne of Leo, Mars in Virgo is where:
Confrontation becomes negotiation.
Aggression becomes calculation.
Challenges become discovery and restructuring.
From the personal to the impersonal.
Prarabdha karma of Mars and retrograde Mercury
The dispositor Mercury, during the initial 13 days of Mars’ transit, is retrograde in Cancer, creating a mental rewind that impacts family relations and communication. Prarabdha karma is coming forward to be cleared out, past conflicts to be worked through, so that intention can be focused on moving forward with full concentration.
Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Saturn are all in a very powerful graha drishti: The guides, Jupiter and Venus, are giving orders to the soldier, where efficiency is blended with emotional intelligence, and action is driven by long-term purpose (Saturn).
This is a great period to build your determination, courage, and the will to tackle challenges. It supports health, fitness, strategic planning, and clear decision-making. Mars, the natural ruler of the 1st self and the 8th house of transformation, brings a lot of energy into our personal transformation in the material plane.
With infinite love and affection
