Introduction
After spending time in Leo, planet Mars will now enter the sign of Virgo on July 28th, 2025.
Transit Of 2025-Dates|Time|Predictions
This transit is going to last till September 13th, 2025, and it is important because Mars is coming out of a fire sign and entering an earth sign where energy gets directed towards precision, work, and correction.
Virgo is a practical sign, and when Mars moves here, the native tends to focus more on fixing things, becoming productive, and trying to gain control in areas where things have been slipping.
But same time, Mars here becomes restless because it doesn’t like wasting time on small tasks.
So there can be impatience and tendency to overdo things.
From Virgo, Mars will cast its aspect on the 4th, 7th, and 8th houses, which will activate areas like home, marriage, and hidden fears or expenses.
If Mars is a malefic for your ascendant, then this transit can bring health issues, stress, or relationship problems.
For some ascendants, this is going to be a time where real correction happens, especially in terms of discipline and daily routine.
In this article, I’ve covered the effects of this Mars transit for all rising signs, with clear predictions, Dasha overlays, and remedies based on actual planetary logic.
Let’s begin.
Effects for Aries Ascendant
For Aries ascendant, Mars is the lord of the 1st and the 8th house and is the most important planet for them. It rules over health, body, courage, mindset, transformation, longevity, and sudden events.
Mars will now transit their 6th house, which represents enemies, competition, diseases, debts, service, daily work, and discipline.
From here, Mars will aspect the 9th, 12th, and 1st house, impacting luck, expenses, foreign matters, isolation, health, and personal drive.
This transit will activate the fighting spirit of the native. On career, the results will be strong, especially for those in jobs that require competition, strategy, or physical effort like armed forces, police, sports, litigation, or politics.
Those in corporate jobs will also benefit if they’re aiming to win over rivals or push forward in a difficult environment. Mars brings boldness, and in the 6th house, it helps to overpower hidden enemies and deal with office politics directly.
If the native is going through Mars, Saturn, or Mercury Dasha, this transit will bring visible changes at work.
Financially, the transit can help in clearing debts or negotiating better terms in financial matters. However, expenses will also rise, especially if the native is dealing with legal matters, health bills, or foreign projects.
Mars's aspect on the 12th house shows that unnecessary spending may happen if not controlled. Those trying to earn through foreign sources or hospital/medical industries can benefit, but results will depend on the strength of the 12th lord.
In relationships, native will become blunt and more defensive. Mars in the 6th house doesn't favor emotional softness, it can bring friction with spouse or partner, especially if disagreements already exist.
The aspect on the 9th house can also cause conflict with father, mentors, or religious figures. If the 7th house or Venus is already weak, marital arguments can turn serious. With siblings or friends, ego clashes may come up over petty matters.
Health-wise, this transit is protective. Mars here gives the strength to fight diseases, and native will be more physically active. It's a good time to get into gym, martial arts, or any fitness practice that demands discipline.
But Mars also makes the native accident-prone, so care is needed while driving or using sharp objects. Digestive and blood-related issues should not be ignored.
If Mars is afflicted in the natal chart, this transit can trigger surgeries or inflammation-related concerns. Sleep quality may drop due to 12th house aspect.
If Ketu is placed in Virgo, then Mars-Ketu conjunction in the 6th house can bring karmic health issues, work-related tension, or conflict with colleagues. It can also cause unpredictable outcomes in lawsuits or competitions.
