Mars in Virgo

Mars in Virgo is where Mars sat in the zodiac at the moment of birth, the part of a chart read for how you act, compete and get angry. Mars stays in a sign for six to seven weeks, up to seven months around a retrograde. Virgo is a mutable earth sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 636 have Mars in Virgo for the whole of their birth date. George W. Bush, Mother Teresa and Silvio Berlusconi are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Leo (82), Libra (78) and Virgo (77); every Sun sign appears with Mars in Virgo. 22 more were born on a day Mars moved into or out of Virgo and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Mars in Virgo means

Read for how you act, compete and get angry. If this is your placement:

You act carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and your anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When you are upset you tend to criticise rather than confront. A clipped tone signals your frustration well before you say anything directly.

One placement is one part of a chart; the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign and the planets around them change how it plays out. Draw your whole chart to see the rest.

Positions are computed from each person’s birth date and place with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth data comes from Wikidata; a placement is listed only when it holds for the whole birth date, and a rising sign only with a birth time Astro-Databank records. Readings describe tendencies, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Every planet in every sign.
