Mars Transit in Virgo

Virgo belongs to Mercury, whom Mars counts an enemy, and Mangala passes through in about fifty days. Method and force pull against each other here, and precision takes more effort than usual.

Virgo governs the abdomen, daily work, service and health. Mars here turns energy toward detail and correction. Long, exacting work moves well. Impatience with other people's mistakes rises through the stay.

The nakshatras are Uttara Phalguni, Hasta and Chitra. Uttara Phalguni, under the Sun, opens with duty. Hasta, under the Moon, suits skilled work of the hands and steadies the drive, and Chitra belongs to Mars, so the closing days carry the strongest push to build.

Classical gochara counts Mars well in the third, sixth and eleventh from the natal Moon: Cancer, Aries and Scorpio Moons. Virgo Moons hold it in the first, where the digestion runs hot, and Sagittarius Moons carry it in the tenth and Pisces Moons in the seventh.

This stay puts imperfection, in others and in oneself, in front of a person. Anger at a small fault often points at a standard the person has not yet met. Make the correction quietly.

Watch the stomach and keep the meals regular.

• Recite the Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesday through the stay.
• Take up exacting physical work during Chitra.
• Correct one thing yourself and say nothing about it.
