Mars in Virgo in the Ninth 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 9th House:

Mars in the 9th House is compatible with Mars’ fiery nature, the 9th House being one of the fire houses. The outward focus and expansiveness of this house allows the action principle symbolized by Mars to freely assert itself.  This placement gives your desires and actions a direction and purpose – to experience and understand the world around you.

Having Mars in the 9th House, you are generally motivated to pursue what will broaden your horizons.  Your actions will tend to reflect your desire to experience life fully. You may also have a drive to integrate your experiences. Thus, you can often draw upon a wide range of knowledge to accomplish your goals. With Mars in the 9th House, you will usually act after taking into consideration the lessons of that you have derived from experience. Your depth of experience often makes you more willing to assert your will in a group or community situation

Inseguridades

Insecurities of the Mars energy are most likely to manifest in the 9th House through overcompensating behavior. With Mars in the 9th House, your desire for outward expression must be satisfied but, if you are insecure about your assertiveness, you are likely to  attempt to hide your Insecurities by going overboard, especially in typical 9th House pursuits (athletics and sports, travel or showing off your “vast knowledge”).  You may aggressively promulgate religious or ideological doctrines. Or, you may throw yourself hedonistically into pursuing whatever experiences may come your way. Having Mars in the 9th House, you may also be susceptible to self-development fads. However, your activities do not lead to true growth and understanding and, instead of finding the purposefulness you may hope for, you find that there is an emptiness about your desires and activity.

Enfoque de los deseos

As an individual with Mars in the 9th House, you are generally motivated by a desire for expanding your sphere of experience and understanding. Your desires may lead you to pursue higher education, a religious calling, travel or other broadening experiences, or on a quest for understanding.
