Transit of Mars in Virgo in July 2025

Mars is ready to switch in to Virgo sign on evening of 28th July where it will remain till 13th Sep. Let's see, what we can expect during this transit of Mars -

1. Mars will be in Virgo sign for these 45 days. It is ruled by Mercury. As Mars and Mercury are great enemies, Mars is not in good dignity in Virgo. Hence, this transit is one where lots of care and awareness is needed. Now, important thing is that Mars represents quick actions, so it becomes more necessary that we should remain aware of this transit and its results else later we may not get enough time to handle or manage things as events may unfold so quickly.

2. Also, if we see, from last almost 1 year, Mars is either not in good dignity (Gemini/Cancer and now in Virgo) or it was impacted by malefics like Ketu in a fiery sign Leo. So, after Mars in Virgo transit on 13th Sep, Mars will gain its strength for first time in last one year. Also, sign based dignity of Mars will remain good for some time after that.

3. Mars represents our actions, efforts, aggression and courage etc. When it is in wrong dignity (like in Virgo), it means that our actions, efforts, aggression and courage can go into wrong directions. We can be misguided or misdirected in our efforts during next 45 days. It also shows that we may not get right direction to divert our energy and action.

4. As Virgo is sign of conflicts and Mars also represents fighting, it is necessary that we must remain aware to mitigate any such circumstances where we may end-up in having an unnecessary conflict.

5. As Virgo is ruled by Mercury which represents communications, there can be malefic impact of Mars on our communications which can bring conflicts and disputes for us. Conflicts can be with people related with the house where Virgo is falling in your chart. Like, an Aquarius ascendant person can have these conflicts or arguments with in-laws as Virgo falls in 8th house of in-laws.

6. Then Mars in bad dignity can also bring circumstances of accidents, surgeries or bloodshed especially if Virgo is one of Dushthana house or 4th house where Mars loses its directional strength too.

7. If transit of Mars is impacting your money-oriented houses (2nd or 11th) then it can also indicate that you may need to take extra care in safeguarding your money as you can get into situations where you may need to spend the money.

8. Mainly, people need to be careful against aggressive communications, accidents/injury and ill-directed actions.

9. As Virgo is sign of analysis and details, Mars in Virgo can also lead to a situation where someone can become hyper-analytical and in that situation, he is unable to decide and act in any way.

10. Mars has 3 aspects and Mars is also creating few joint impacts with other planets through these aspects which are as follows -

a. Its 4th aspect is going to Sagittarius and we can see people getting into conflicts or dominance struggle over belief system. At the same time, this transit can be helpful for someone in their higher educational pursuits. This is also where Saturn-Jupiter-Ketu are aspecting from their respective positions in transit (Pisces-Gemini-Leo respectively). This shows that lots of malefic energy is accumulating in Sagittarius sign. Again, this energy can either be utilized in being rigid or fundamentalist about our belief system or it can be utilized in higher education, religious studies and travelling etc. Not to forget that Venus from Gemini will also aspect Sagittarius till 20th Aug. When so many planets are impacting Sagittarius sign in next one month or so, we can say that area of life where Sagittarius sign falls in chart will remain focal point for all of us. We will be dealing with that house related matters in Sagittarian way. Now, dealing in positive or negative Sagittarian way is our free will.

b. 7th aspect is going to Pisces sign where Saturn is transiting. This again indicates rigid views on matters of spirituality of people. Other people can utilize same transit in spiritual pursuits and educational matters. It can be a great time for practicing Yoga or Meditation. Mars-Saturn mutual aspects can be difficult as both are malefic with opposite nature. Mars is looking for quick results and Saturn is all about delays. So, it may lead to lots of frustrations for people in the axis of Virgo-Pisces wherever it falls in their chart. It can lead to lots of rigidity in people about their actions and spiritual views. Mars-Saturn energy exchange can also lead to accidents and sudden events due to that push and pull between quickness Vs delays. So, we need to be careful while commuting.

c. 8th aspect will go to Aries sign. This impact will remain for next 3 months as Mars will aspect Aries from next sign Libra too. So, for next 3 months, we need to be careful about the house related matters where Aries falls in our chart if Aries falls into Dushthana Houses. Also, we must avoid negative representations of Aries which are dominance, control and aggressive behavior and focus more on actions, individuality and finding our uniqueness. Only positive thing here is Mars aspecting its own sign Aries. So, it is kind of protecting that house/sign. It means that if we are proactive with our actions/efforts then we can mitigate the possibilities of any major issues in that area of life. At least we should let go of our expectations from Jeeva Karakas of that house and focus more on Ajeeva Karakas.

Maraka Impact on Leo and Aquarius – Besides the aforementioned result, I feel that we need to be very careful in matters related with houses where Leo and Aquarius axis falls in chart. It is because both these signs will be under Maraka Impact during this transit. Let’s understand it –

a. Aquarius - Aquarius sign is coming under heavy malefic impact as follows –

• Rahu is transiting in Aquarius.
• Saturn is transiting in Pisces (2nd from Aquarius).
• Ketu is transiting in Leo (7th from Aquarius).
• As discussed earlier, it is creating a Maraka impact for Aquarius sign for coming 1.5 years - https://astrosaxena.com/articles/MarakaImpactonAquariusSignduring2025and2026 .

b. Leo – Leo sign is coming under heavy malefic impact as follows –

• Ketu is transiting Leo.
• Mars will be in Virgo (2nd from Leo).
• Rahu is transiting in Aquarius (7th from Leo).

As we can see that there are hell lot of malefic impact on Leo-Aquarius signs in their respective Maraka Houses, we need to be very careful with respect to things, people and matters related with houses where Leo-Aquarius axis falls in chart for next 45 days. Needless to say that this will also be the time when Leo’s lord Sun will also transit through Leo and will be at the axis of Rahu-Ketu. So, we have plenty to take care in coming couple of months

As always, transits give results only after overall chart and dashas also show same result. So, we need to look at chart and dashas too. Mars’ good position in birth chart can also help us navigating tough transits. Still, needless to say that we need to be careful and aware during this transit to avoid conflicts, arguments and any sudden event. Take extra care of the house where Sagittarius, Leo-Aquarius falls in your chart.

Gratitude!!!!
