What Mars Transit in Virgo Means for Your Zodiac Sign in 2023!

Aggressive, belligerent, malevolent, pugnacious, destructive - if you have any other negatives, you could attach them to this planet. Most of us have known this planet in a negative nuance, but very few know that Mars is synonymous with power - in fact, exceptional power.

Its ruling element is fire - and so, none of the other planets can be as fiery as this one. Born of the earth or Bhumi, Mars is called Bhauma or Kuja.

Mars enables us to see the world in a different light. When its power is harnessed, it shows you what a human mind is capable of manifesting. Mars, on the physical level, brings about vigorous movement. It nurtures you with confidence and fearlessness, irrespective of the outcome.

Virgo is the sign of wellness, healing and organisation. Its ruling element is earth, and thus, Virgo represents everything ‘solid’.

It's solid thoughts, solid action and solid reliability in this transit. A focussed sign by nature, Virgo symbolises the power to stabilise under any given circumstances.

Placed sixth in the list of zodiacs, this sign is symbolic of ‘motherhood’. When you tend to the Virgo energies, it activates your nurturing hormones. Owing to the ticking of the nurturing side in you (irrespective of whether you’re a man or a woman), you’d want to give willingly and take care of those around you.

The power in you to heal naturally (yourself and others) and your calibre to help others sprout from the pre-eminence of Virgo over your mind and body.

Virgo is often represented by a virgin, and with Mars in this sign - it distinctly represents raw power. Virgo is a feminine sign - and with Mars transiting in this sign, it signifies the fusion of the polarities. The Yang energies will be floating in the zone of Yin.

In this union, Virgo will primarily anchor the high-flying energies of Mars. And in turn, Mars will excite Virgo into realising her dreams and taking necessary action to fulfil them.

The times ahead, August 2023, are the ones where your dreams will meet action. Mars in Virgo will help you solidify your ideas. If your ideas have been in an amorphous state until now, then it's time you crystallise them.

Your skills of analysis and productivity will find a new high. Processing information, sensing the changes in your immediate surroundings and balancing your reactions will be the prime themes of this transit.

Mars will stimulate you into impulsive actions, and Virgo will incline you towards rethinking your actions. This will challenge you to keep a balance between acting appropriately and avoiding delayed action.

Virgo has a deep emotional reserve. And when Mars traverses into this sign, it could catalyse a drastic emotional outpour. So, people might see you in a different light. If you’ve had the habit of suppressing your emotions, this time, Mars will make sure you puke out your feelings and in full force!

Returning to the earth sign for another three months, Mars will be trying hard to exert its energy and might be met with some opposition from the dampening Virgo.

Mars marks the pure survival instinct, while Virgo is about gradual evolution.

Caught up between polarities, you could feel confused and be swept. While trying hard to find a balancing ground, you might go to extremes and wouldn’t know when to stop.
