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.

La posición de Marte en Virgo puede ser compleja o ambivalente, como simboliza el quincuncio natural entre Virgo y Marte. 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 12th House:

The Mars in the 12th House placement is most often seen as problematic or detrimental. This is especially true if you are male. This is because the active and assertive nature represented by Mars is opposite the passive and inward looking focus of the 12th House. The blending of the two energies must take place at a high level of consciousness and with care and discipline. In its more positive mode, this placement suggests a desire for hidden knowledge or for the dissolution or transcendence of the ego, with action taken to achieve these ends.

Mars in the 12th House also indicates that you may have an impulse toward compassion and sensitivity. This may shape your actions and desires in a spiritual direction, but it may also result in you holding back your assertiveness out  of regard for others. You may also be attracted to the subtler arts, particularly to music.

Dissolution and boundarilessness, which are associated with the 12th House may also produce negative tendencies without the discipline necessary to hold to a high spiritual path. Having Mars in the 12th House, deception, escapism and self-destruction may infuse your motivations and actions.

Inseguridades

With Mars in the 12th House, if you are inwardly insecure, your attraction to the unknown and your sense of boundarilessness will make you fearful. Without boundaries, it is difficult for you to impose discipline on your actions and desires. You realize this and may be afraid to act. The “unknown” which frightens you are the Unconscious, which would swallow up and destroy your conscious ego.

Having Mars in the 12th House, one defense against your fears is to flee from those things that are symbolized by the 12th House and lead a very conventional life. In ignoring the unknown and failing to deal with it, however, you leave yourself open to its unwelcome intrusion in the form of unlooked for sorrows, illness, deceptions, etc. These are nothing more than calls from your subconscious for you to pay attention to your inner self.  Another type of defense against your fears is the opposite of the first. You define your desires and your actions within the purview of the 12th House. With Mars in the 12th House, you undertake roles and actions that are caricatures of the process of Unbecoming.  This is basically a self-destructive, as opposed to a self-transcending path. You can be consumed by addictive and destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse, pathological lying, dependency, etc. The self-destruction may be done openly, or it may remain hidden, with you leading a “double life” – hiding your actions and desires with deception.

Enfoque de los deseos

As an individual with Mars in the 12th House, your desire tends to be inward and for things that are immaterial or hidden.  Mars in the 12th House may signify spiritual desire or a desire to explore the realms of the unconscious. It generally indicates that you do not have much attraction for material objects. Instead, you desire the universal. Mars in the 12th House may also signify desire for things that are hidden or forbidden. Your aims and motivations may be obscure, or your aims and desires may be deceptive.
