Mars in Virgo in the Sixth House

The placement of Mars in Virgo indicates that you have a need for your actions to be perfect. This often manifests itself as a particularization of action. By focusing on small details or by breaking action down into manageable events and then organizing your course of action, you may feel that can control your actions and improve your chances of approximating perfection. This desire for your actions to be seen as correct tends to lead you to internally limit your desires to what is “proper.” This may save you from “wrong” actions. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Virgo are a result of your striving for perfection in your actions and desires.

The placement of Mars in Virgo may be complex or ambivalent, as symbolized by the natural quincunx between Virgo and Mars-ruled Aries. Virgo is the Mutable Earth sign. The fine-grained earth of Virgo symbolically forces the Mars energy to be restrained and disciplined, flowing only through circumscribed channels. If the active and self-assertive nature associated with Mars does not chafe at the restriction associated with the Virgo qualities, its energy (and your desires and actions) will be refined, contributing toward your quest for perfection.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male with Mars in Virgo, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Virgo. If you are female, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Virgo-associated traits.

Inseguridades

As an individual with Mars in Virgo, because you are insecure within your inner self, you feel burdened with the ideal of perfection and you feel that you can do nothing right. Your ego knows, however, that if ever Real Perfection is attained, that is its death. So, in fretting about imperfection (in reality, avoiding the quest for the Real Perfection), you may waste your time trying to perfect what is good enough or fix what is unfixable. Or, faced with an internal demand for perfect order, you may revolt, give up trying to attain the ideal and exist in a state of disorder and chaos.

Mars in the 6th House:

Mars in the 6th House suggests that, though you may engage in many externally directed actions, the ultimate aim of your activity is to improve yourself and, particularly, to refine the rough edges of your personality. The 6th House symbolizes the gradual shift of focus from self to other. Consequently, you desire to present to others an image and a person that lives up to your own ideals and values. Consciously or subconsciously, therefore, having Mars in the 6th House, your actions are designed to make you a more suitable person for social contact and social interaction.

As an individual with Mars in the 6th House, this often involves you learning more humility and learning how to subordinate your own desires to the will of others. Therefore, the desire/action function may not appear to be particularly strong in you. It may appear that you are suppressing your own desires and acting on other people’s desires or wishes. In actuality, you are manifesting your deeper desire to sublimate your ego in order to gain the favor and respect of others.

Inseguridades

With Mars in the 6th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will continually find yourself in subservient positions and you will chafe at your lack of ability or opportunity to actualize your own desires. You will be frustrated at the restrictions that are placed on you and at how you have to work and obey others in order to obtain what you want to have. To willingly submit appears to you like admitting defeat. In truth, having Mars in the 6th House, you do not want to submit out of fear that your own individuality will disappear and be consumed in serving the will of others.

Having Mars in the 6th House, you are not so secure of your own identity that you feel you can maintain your integrity as a slave of the will of others. Out of this fear of submission, you often attempt to control your circumstances and your own actions. You may become obsessed or absorbed in the detail of exerting control and not letting anything get out of your control. Since the world is ever fluid and since so many  circumstances are beyond your control, with Mars in the 6th House, your level of frustration is bound to show  itself through either loss of temper, or scattered, wild or neurotic activity, or further  attempts to obsessively maintain control.

Enfoque de los deseos

As an individual with Mars in the 6th House, you are likely to have a desire, either conscious or subconscious, to achieve perfection. You may therefore experience a constant desire for self-improvement.  Sometimes, this may manifest as never being satisfied with yourself or the level to which you have attained. Thus, you may experience more the frustration than fulfillment. You may also have a desire for health, good working conditions and relations and, generally, to be thought of as a good and competent person.
