Mars enters Virgo

Mars crosses into Virgo on 14 May 2027 at 14:49 UTC.

An ingress is simply a body passing 0° of a sign, but it marks a genuine change of register: Mars in Virgo operates through earth means and at a mutable tempo. Mars redirects where effort and irritation go, and how directly people are willing to compete.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so for as long as Mars is here its behaviour is coloured by that planet as well as by its own nature.
