CROSSING EVERY "T" ... DOTTING EVERY "I" !!!

Mars blazed its way into the highly analytical and perfection seeking sign of Virgo today, October 15th, at 7:05 AM EDT ... we all are now literally driven to step up the work productivity times 1000 !!! ... this is the universal energy of the true workaholic ... when Mars transits through an earth sign - Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus - sometimes its force is slowed down to a point, and it usually manifests its power conservatively and patiently ... but remember we are talking about normally aggressive Mars now in a sign that pays a LOT of attention to DETAIL, DETAIL, DETAIL accompanied by a deeply penetrating analysis and practicality ... Mars is a planet whose nature is represented by a fiery drive, and Virgo is an earth sign represented by a slower and more exacting energy ... and what does fire have the potential to do to Earth ??? - SCORCH AND BURN, so proceed cautiously and carefully !!! ... Mars was last in Virgo from November 2011 through early July 2012 ... by now you've figured out that this is longer than the normal 6 week transit and the reason, which you have also probably figured out, is due to it's retrograde period during that time - anything come to mind about what may have occurred in your life during that time frame ??? ... it is important to remember that Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and thus it can be said that Mercury and Mars will now have a connected relationship as a result of this transit ... it would therefore be extremely wise to think carefully before you speak in order to avoid verbal confrontations that are most surely guaranteed to surface with these two planets and their energies dancing together !!!

Mars in Virgo is scientific and logical ... it enjoys working ... and working ... and working !!! ... it is extremely thorough and painstaking ... this energy is usually able to perform even the most monotonous tasks well - surgeons and craftsmen are often born under this energy ... sometimes it can get so engrossed in the work details that it loses sight of the overall project and can come to the conclusion that the effort is hopeless and decide to move on - thus making this energy driving one to the point of undertaking too many projects at once ... one must guard against becoming overly critical, and one must also be on guard to avoid working themselves so hard they end up bringing on some form of illness ... under this energy one might need to address health issues - especially inflammations or issues in the intestinal area, or one may simply decide its time to pursue a healthier lifestyle and begin a new diet regimen or nutritional routine ...

Mars in Virgo usually plans its actions carefully and executes them very systematically ...efficient functioning is important in both work and bodily health ... the basic inclination here is to be practical, thrifty, dedicated and follow an approach that tries to find flaws and fix them ... personal identity is tied to being competent and doing things correctly ... Mars in Virgo considers cleanliness is of utmost importance - the caveat here is to avoid too much nitpicking, self-criticism and getting so enmeshed in the details that you inhibit your ability to act ... sexual drive and physical energy are influenced by ones sense of effectiveness and ones competence ... and too much focus on "performance" could result in inhibition and failure to be productive ... one can also negatively affect their health by becoming so engrossed in pursuing the art of perfection !!!

The lesson of Mars in Virgo is learning to get what we want through detailed analysis ... it can be the slave-driver or slave-driven ... here good health represents efficiency ... many times one may ask themselves exactly what is it that they are striving for ... it is said that one of the lessons under this energy is to learn by giving in to the energy of the sign opposite of Virgo which is Pisces - in other words giving into the mystery of life itself, the world, sex and just letting everything run on autopilot for awhile ... Mars in Virgo can flip back and forth between chastity and promiscuity very easily since we have Mars (desire) and Virgo (purity) whose energies are intertwined ... this energy likes work that is done with very fine precision, getting things right, a professional touch, good sexual hygiene, and proper technique ... it dislikes inaccuracy, people who don't put forth effort and those who lack dexterity and grace ... the energy of Mars in Virgo can be expressed in the following ways:

POSITIVE: fine sexuality, hits the target, watchful, even-tempered, helpful, healing ability, attentive, subtle touch, industrious, methodical, energy-saving, thorough, shrewd, clever, ingenious, precise, accurate, clean, economical

NEGATIVE: frustrating, sexually exacting, voyeuristic, repressed, interfering, hypochondriac, neurotic, workaholic, inflexible, energy wasting, never finishing projects, exploitative, cantankerous, critical, fussy, sanctimonious

Virgo born individuals, this is your time for an expanded extra energy boost - just what you need to be further fueled by that detail, practical, analytic and work driven oriented energy you were born with ... so you may be thrust into overdrive - but we still love you !!! ... as always for everyone, if you've had a natal chart done look to which house or houses the sign of Virgo resides in and you can gain insight as to what area of life will be charged up by this Martian energy !!!

Even though we all will be driven by this energy which makes us seek perfection and perform with maximum efficiency, the Universe will throw in a dose of cosmic humor that perhaps slows down our pursuit ... most of you may have figured out why by now ... Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and Mercury is currently "slowing down" to begin its final retrograde journey for 2013 next Monday, October 21st ... for 21 days of this 54 day Mars transit, Mercury will be retrograde ... surely there will be some interesting stories of how these energies play out in our individual lives !!!

Mars is the only planet currently transiting through Virgo, and it remains in the sign of Virgo until December 7th ... you may have noticed this is longer that its approximate 6 week transit through each sign ... BUT YOU KNOW WHY !!! ... Mars is beginning to ever so slightly "slow down" as it prepares for its next retrograde journey which will begin on March 1st, 2014 - it will enter its shadow point on December 26th ... this is the last full sign transit of Mars as it will be retrograde entirely in the sign of Libra ... in fact, now would be an excellent time to go back and read my blog from September 30th entitled "Personal Planet Retrograde Flip Flop" if you have'nt done so at this point ... first of all - SHAME ON YOU - and secondly you will find it very helpful during the next 10 month period as the three "personal" planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars - bounce back and forth in retrograde motion !!!

Make good use of this time as there is the potential to get a lot accomplished through steady and controlled effort ... and just a reminder, Uranus is currently transiting through Aries which is ruled by Mars and so it "deposits" its energy in with Mars in Virgo and with all that drive and heightened energy to expand, liberate, do things suddenly and unexpectedly intertwined with the urge to do things with precision and accuracy, the tendency to "incinerate" yourself and others with this fiery energy will be something to be on constant guard against and end up pushing yourself into potentially hazardous overdrive ... We will certainly be very busy crossing every "T" and dotting every "I" - OVER AND OVER AND OVER !!!
