There’s a warrior living inside each and every one of us. In astrology, that warrior is ruled by Mars. This is the planet of drive, combat, action, and aggression, highlighting the way we tap into our core instincts. And when the gladiator of our galaxy activates our will to win, nothing can stop us. If you’re wondering how Mars in Virgo will affect each zodiac sign, you’ve come to the right place.

Virgo is a highly intelligent, analytical, productive, and service-oriented zodiac sign. From the moment Mars enters Virgo on July 10, it will encourage us to go for extra credit and put in the additional effort. It will also urge you to indulge in as much information as you can, soaking up information like a sponge. You will also feel more inspired to lend a helping hand to others, build something from the ground-up, and go out of your way to satisfy your partner in bed. After all, Mars rules over primal sexuality and Virgo is a very giving lover, as they always aim to please. As Mars immediately joins with the North Node in Taurus at exactly 0 degrees on July 11, it’s clear this transit is helping us tap into some of our deepest goals.
