Interpretation

Mars in Virgo channels energy into precision, efficiency, and practical improvement. You work methodically and tirelessly, driven by the need to get things right. Your anger manifests as sharp criticism rather than explosive confrontation. The gift is the ability to accomplish more through careful, sustained effort than others achieve through bursts of passion. The shadow is anxiety, overwork, and weaponized perfectionism.
