Mars in Virgo

Mars in Virgo works precisely and tirelessly. Drive is channelled into skill, method and improvement; energy is efficient and critical. Anger is expressed as irritation with what is done badly, including by itself. This is the craftsman's Mars. The weakness is fussiness and a body that carries stress in the gut. The work is to let good enough stand and to rest before the list is empty.
