Mars in Virgo is what astrologers call “peregrine,” meaning it is in no essential dignity or detriment. This means we can take control of our narrative by harnessing the current energy of Mars, the warrior planet. If we leverage Mars being in Virgo constructively, resolving conflicts and dealing with challenges with a practical demeanour, we can use this current energy to our advantage. Conversely, we can use Mars in Virgo to dominate and be critical — leading to drama. In an ideal world, we all opt for the first choice, but when people around us use their authority as an excuse to be cruel, we need to counteract it with the rational responses Mars in Virgo provides.
