Mars, the planet of war and will, desire and drive, f-king and fighting, getting it on and getting it done, is leaving the hungry centerstage of Leo for the sickled fields of Virgo on June 17th, 2025, at 4:35 AM EDT — a shift from showtime to go time, if you will.

As Virgo rules the body and its rituals, there’s an emphasis on health and nutrition during this transit.

In both sex and execution, there is an energy of mastery to Mars in Virgo, it encourages disciple and a honing in, supporting us in projects that require a concentrated, consecrated effort.
