Mars in Virgo: What It Means
Mars in Virgo is the scalpel, not the sledgehammer. You act with precision. Every move is calculated, every effort measured against its likely result. Other Mars placements throw punches. You find the exact pressure point and press.
You are hardest on yourself. Before you criticize anyone else, you have already cataloged your own failures in detail. Your drive is toward improvement, always improvement. The question is whether you can ever reach a standard that satisfies you, or if the goalpost keeps moving.
You are more sensual than people expect. Behind the analytical exterior is someone who pays close attention to what a partner responds to. You notice details other people miss, and you use that information.
