The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (July 30)

Mars has transited into Virgo.  The planet of directed energy takes on a practical, disciplined quality in the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo.  This is the sort of energy that could help you get a house built, or a book written.  The Mars transit through Virgo will instill a generous desire to engage in service that helps others in all but the most severely self-absorbed among us.  Virgo is obsession territory, similar to Scorpio, so we need to be aware of that over the next six weeks or so.  Problematic perfectionism can also manifest during the Mars/Virgo energy period.  This transit can further complicate decision making in choice-challenged Sun and Rising sign people, even in the most mundane of matters.  Mars will be in Virgo until September 14.
