Mars enters Virgo this week — will your sign be one of the three most affected?
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.
Our bro luminary of high speeds and high fives will remain in Virgo until August 6th, 2025.
When Mars is in Virgo, there's increased attention to detail and an erotic satisfaction in getting a job done right and right on time. It's extra credit, extra mile, if you're not early you're late, teacher's pet energy.
As the zodiac's resident analyst, the M.O. of Mars in Virgo is to break things down to finite detail — in order to refine and rebuild to exacting specification.
As Virgo rules the body and its rituals, there's an emphasis on health and nutrition during this transit.
While clean eating and a commitment to fitness can help keep us healthy, happy, and free, there is a danger right now of taking it too far, obsessing too much and being hyperfocused on perceived flaws.
If you want to try a Milk Cleanse or integrate something that feels challenging and/or fringe, go for it.
Virgo wants to prune and purify, and we can honor that energy while stopping short of punishment.
Lest we forget, Mars is a trouble maker and Virgo is highly critical — a combination that easily lends itself to making trouble and throwing barbs both internal and external.
Before you offer an unsolicited critique or a sharp suggestion, decide whether or not the conversation will instigate or motivate the intended party.
Virgo is a service-oriented sign. In cahoots with Mars, there's an emphasis on leveling up and lending a hand.
Mars governs sexuality — and for all its reputation as 'virginal', Virgo is a kinkster that loves to please and at its highest expression seeks purification through pleasure.
If Mars in Virgo were a pornorgraphic archetype, it would undoubtedly be naughty librarian, brain boners and dewey decimals galore.
Mars in Virgo is a transit where acts of service can translate to sex acts. In fact, and in the flesh, sex is among the best balms for Mars in Virgo, as in the carnal arena, satisfaction is not tied to perfection.
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. However, this focus on excellence can quickly become an obsession that begets inertia and strangles inspiration.
Keep a steady hand, a fiery loin and an open eye on the grand plan.
Good luck out there, folks.
Mars in Virgo is waging and raging in your fourth house of family ties and home fires, Gemini. Driven by the pains of the past, the energy here is argumentative, wounded and fault finding — but if channeled thoughtfully this same pain could pave the way to breaking though and breaking free.
While it may seem urgently necessary to call your mom after three bottles of Sauvignon Blanc and read aloud your detailed list of every way she's failed you, I assure you it is not.
However, there has never been a better time to pour your prodigious energy into traditional and nontraditional healing, whether that looks like family constellation therapy, a past life regression, EMDR or an exorcism.
Fight forward and give your fury wings, not shovels.
Mars is strategically storming and swarming your first house of the self, Virgo.
This is a summons to stand up and step out. Mars is war, and the first house is identity; in turn, this transit can be seen as you fighting for yourself.
Devoted as you are to keeping everyone else alive and in line, Mars is here to poke and prod — and ask you where you would walk if you had no one behind you.
Mars is marching through your seventh house of trusted partnerships, Pisces — allies and adversaries, confidantes and con artists.
This could herald a time of conflict, and under these skies, your usual strategies of dodging or dissociation will not suffice. Mars in Virgo wants you to know that the way out is through, and with deft defense and thoughtful diffusion, you can clarify and compassionately cut ties.
Bear in mind, my fish friends, that if Virgo were an inanimate object, it would be a pair of bonsai shears.
You can adopt a similar energy of removal and reshaping to your primary relationships.

Daily Horoscope for June 19, 2025
General Daily Insight for June 19, 2025 There is practically no such thing as boundaries today. We'll have no problem jumping to the heart of any matter at hand as the Moon in Aries sextiles Pluto in Aquarius first thing. The world will take on all the vibrancy and fragmented beauty of an Impressionist painting when enthusiastic Jupiter in Cancer squares illusory Neptune in Aries at 6:50 am EDT. With Mars in Virgo then making a quincunx to Saturn, also in Aries, it'll be difficult to settle on one distinct strategy. Aries March 21 – April 19 It isn't currently easy to know what to do with all your emotions. Your feelings are larger than life while boundless Jupiter is spinning along through your sensitive 4th house, even as its square to foggy Neptune in your headstrong sign could make it rather difficult to figure out how to express them. What feels like a big deal could blow over in just a little while, and you won't know why you got worked up in the first place. Avoid overreacting. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Your immediate vicinity may resemble a wonderland more than the regular landscape you know. Excitable Jupiter in your local community sector tangles with magical Neptune in your dreamy 12th house for a confusing square, so everything is a bit out of proportion at the moment. That said, your usual routine might lead you down rabbit holes when you least expect them. The resulting adventure should be quite thrilling, if a little lacking in productive or disciplined energy, but that hardly matters. Have fun! Gemini May 21 – June 20 An atmosphere of generosity is shimmering in the air. A mind-stretching square between Jupiter in your invested 2nd house and Neptune in your humanitarian 11th house could inspire you to give your time or resources to a worthy cause. This is all good in theory, but Neptune can obscure the truth. Be sure to do your research before you start making any contributions, because the last thing you want is to find out that the organization in question is less than noble after donating. Cancer June 21 – July 22 You have endless energy, but knowing how to channel it wisely is another matter entirely. Your enthusiasm is off the charts while lucky Jupiter is moving along through your sign, bestowing all its blessings upon you. Opposingly, Jupiter's square to Neptune in your ambitious 10th house can cast a veil over the clear path forward. You may have a dozen different ideas and aspirations, but you'll do better if you just focus on a few of them, rather than trapping yourself with too many choices. Leo July 23 – August 22 Your dreams can take you all the way over the rainbow! There is a rare square between Jupiter in your fantastical 12th house and Neptune in your adventurous 9th house, practically begging you to soar off to parts unknown like an untethered balloon. This likely sounds very exciting, and it can indeed bring a lot of pleasure to your life. Still, be careful about flying so far away that you have no idea where you've wound up or how to get back home again. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Shadows may seem to creep into even the brightest of moments today. You are ready to come together and enjoy life with others while Jupiter is dancing through your affable 11th house — at least until that enthusiastic planet trips over mysterious Neptune in your secretive 8th house. This stumble could add a layer of fog to everything. Watch out for the temptation to read between the lines, because you might find some scandalous notions there, only to realize they aren't founded in reality. Libra September 23 – October 22 People may mean well, but that doesn't mean they are entirely reliable. You want to accomplish a lot and make a name for yourself while Jupiter is in your 10th House of Career, yet its square to illusory Neptune in your 7th House of Alignments will make it difficult to know who you can count on for a boost. Someone may promise you the stars, but being able to deliver them is another matter altogether. Self-sufficiency is very important right now. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Reality is for the birds. The temptation to leave your usual responsibilities on the back burner will be strong while Jupiter in your outstretched 9th house pokes Neptune in your routine 6th house. They're supplying the inspiration to search for something new and exciting. That is all well and good — go ahead and explore something that fascinates you. Just remember that Neptune's haziness will make it easy to miss something important, so keep your senses alert even while on your whirlwind adventure. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 It isn't always easy to know where to seek pleasure. You may feel pulled all over the place in your search for satisfaction as Jupiter in your intimate 8th house squares Neptune in your freewheeling 5th house. One moment you want to keep your circle small and your actions private, the next you want to find the cosmic spotlight and let everyone know exactly what you're all about. Ask yourself if there is any reason that you can't keep some things subtle while declaring others. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Let people into your life. Jupiter in your relationship sector is bringing plenty of positive people your way, who all have their own ideas and opportunities to offer. With Jupiter squaring Neptune in your emotional sector, you'll probably be more than happy to let them in without question. On the other hand, Neptune can blur boundaries, so make sure you aren't letting someone take up more space than necessary or giving away more of yourself than is wise for your life in the long run. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Today may fly by like a whirlwind. There is a potent square between Jupiter in your can-do 6th house and Neptune in your wordy 3rd house. Their debate could leave you feeling like you're in the midst of a tennis match, with the ball bouncing back and forth at the speed of light. Instead of trying to keep your eye on the ball, give yourself permission to sit back and enjoy the show. It won't be easy to play the game properly right now. Pisces February 19 – March 20 Be wary of throwing your money around. You have every right to enjoy yourself while fun-loving Jupiter is dancing along through your 5th House of Happiness, but its square to Neptune in your 2nd House of Income could make it seem like you need to spend more than usual to make it happen. It will be easy to get caught up in the general excitement, but stick to a budget, or you could regret your actions when the fun parade finally moves on.
