In the morning, Mars enters Virgo, trading theatrical charisma for precision and detail orientation. At this time, we care less about earning credit and more about having our intelligence validated and valued. While Mars was in Leo, we might have earned an audience for our talents. Our sales pitch, whether in work or in love, hinged on our performance. However, with Mars in Virgo, we must follow through on what we’ve promised to deliver! This transit is not about selling ourselves, but showcasing our skillsets. We can make great strides pursuing a personal ambition now, if we don’t fall victim to self-criticism. If we regard “perfection” as aspirational, not a milestone to be achieved, we will set ourselves up for success.
In the early afternoon, Mercury in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn, inspiring research and investigation. Mercury will enter Leo later today, so we may receive some last-minute insights regarding Cancerian themes of home and family. Depth psychology and self-analysis are supported. However, discoveries made can rattle us, and stir up paranoid thoughts. Are your suspicions sound? Don’t assume the worst. Avoid good cop/bad cop interrogation styles. However, be mindful that others might use manipulation tactics against you. Or you might be tempted to employ them against others. If you want the truth, sometimes all you have to do is ask. But, if you ask, be warned that you may not like what you hear.
