I’m obsessed with Mars in Virgo. Mars in Virgo direct and Mars in Virgo retrograde. Sometimes I capitalize Retrograde. And sometimes I don’t. Which isn’t very Mars in Virgo of me.
😉
Which reminds me: I am aware that my blog posts are full of sentence fragments. I like the freedom to punctuate where I please when I blog.
But the reason for this post tonight is a question for you:
What was Mars Direct for you? Which house is it in? And what does it mean?
And what do you think Mars Retrograde will mean for you? And, yes, I know it may change — it often does.
For me, to name one thing, as I’ve been writing about, it was joining a gym and not just joining a gym but the exercise itself: I’m running for my life. It’s all I want to do. And how I have to force myself to take rest days — even knowing that rest days will make the gym days better.
The gym has a nice view too — where the treadmills are — and I’ve got my music and it’s just me and my body — I feel like I’m working with my body. It cooperates. Even on a day like today when I felt not so fierce but fierce all the same. And exercise is prayer practice: I become grateful.
The 1st House is the body. And Mars rules physical activity and athletes.
But that’s my story. What’s yours?

Thank you!!
See I am at a lose on this one because my Mars is in Aries and I used to be very physically active, then got sick a few years ago and I completely.
stopped..I am better now to the most part but my Sun is in Leo my Rising is in Leo and it’s all in the 12th House. So can you give me any insight or were to look at my chart of why I am so scared, it all plays in my head over and over again. But I can’t push past my fear of dropping and never getting back up and I need the exercise for all the same reasons or I won’t probably be around to see all of my kids grow up. This story just peaked my interest so much that I had to ask and comment. Love Love your Blog!!
Thanks Ruby – and I’m sorry you are having such a hard time (((hugs to you)))) – you can go to a site like astro.com (free) and pull up your chart there – Find where transiting Jupiter is – that will show you where some good things could be happening in your life i.e. possibility — to balance out the difficult stuff
Mars RX 3rd, rules 10th. Natal is in Cap conj Decs. I’m keeping my mouth shut and counting to 100 and counting my words, minding my Ps and Qs, dotting Is and crossing Ts.
🙂 hmm mars cap conj decs – I know of someone else with that placement! strong mars!
7th. I feel like I am working equally as hard to sort out my shit in order to have a successful relationship.
Mars is transiting my 1st house, where my sun and Venus reside. I have recently become hyper aware of how out of shape I have become and am more ready than ever to do something to change. While I haven’t joined a gym, I have begun to contemplate what my body will look like when I am done.
