I talk a lot lately about “growing up” on here, due to my Saturn transit but it’s my Mars transit, to my 1st house, that wants to talk about “slowing down” and the challenge of that when Mars is in the 1st i.e. Nature’s Energy Boost!
This morning I woke up thinking: I have got to slow down. I have got to stop running. Because I have no idea the landscape of my life at this moment because I am always moving. Not paying attention.
I have my other job, I’m doing readings, I’m running for the train, I’m running to the gym, I’m running late, I’m blogging, I’m worrying about money, fighting with my cell phone, navigating my love life, I’m hoping the apartment will clean itself, food shopping, laundry, cats…
I have stopped creating the stopping place.
Virgo is the quotidian, daily life. Mars goes retrograde later this month. It will be time to… here comes that phrase... Take Stock: how you are living the Virgo House in your chart, where you put your energy, how much, and why and… what you need to, yes, FIX. Or save. Or adjust. Or cure. The answer will be in the details.
So all the strides or changes or increases or losses that you’ve made since Mars entered Virgo… well the time is coming for you to analyze (Virgo) and be critical (Virgo) and discern (Virgo) and change what needs to be changed after… processing (Virgo) ALL OF IT. And ask yourself: is it too late?
Have you been feeling Marsy? Do you create a stopping place?
Note to self: less coffee less coffee less coffee less coffee less coffee less coffee

10th/11th house. I never accomplish the virgo-like things I wish to; I’ve been the epitome of the sloth version of Mars in Pisces, and am frustrated.
I’m a pro at stopping places – probably my Taurean influence. Right now the only thing stopping me is a lack of work (winter break from my job). Once I get working again, I’ll pay off half my loans soon, and then the world opens up to me.
So, I’ve been using the Mars in Virgo energy to change my eating habits and organize all my stuff. Feels SO good.
Mars transiting my 1st house too! And boy, have I seen intense action going on around self-improvement – it seems like every day I’m having huge, intense breakthroughs. I’m doing this on purpose, and so totally welcoming it, but wow the pace sure is fast! Its awesome 🙂
Hi Jessica! It’s an amazing transit…
My life is coming to a full stop, new direction sort of point. It’s like someone shook the snow globe of my world. I am looking forward to Mars retrograde so that I can start to rearrange things again.
nice metaphor but sorry about the reason for the metaphor but you’ll have months to live this energy for sure
Yeah I was sort of dreading it before the big shake up. Now I understand the job that lies ahead of me. It’s ok. I’m ok.
I think I’ve always liked Mondays.
