What a spectacular way to open the new year, the grand trine (great harmony) in the earth element makes this a special new year and a time to build, create, recreate and rebuild if necessary your hopes wishes and dreams because a great deal is possible for us to accomplish at this time when the planets are so favorably aligned.

Friends and interested parties, we are going into an extended transit of the planet Mars into and retrograding in the constellation of Virgo.  It is significant particularly for Virgo native sun sign people and the rest of us as well. 

We can expect not to have much happiness with newly purchased electronics in February so don't say I didn't warn you.  Wait until the transit is at least past the retrograde phase later in the year before making that purchase to be on the safe side and watch it.  Your present electronics may act up or fail.  :((

Mars in Virgo is good for body building and getting clerical work done, the energy will be there and the situation corporeal and otherwise will improve. Clear up the clutter, no better time than now and I say it to myself as I suggest it to you.

People who handle sharp instruments and or knives, beware, Mars is has cutting potential that during the retrograde may be unwelcome. 

The transit gives Virgo and the other earth signs and those with other planets in Virgo, you get that extra amount of vigor that perhaps you have not had in a long time.  Virgo males appear more masculine, more attractive and they give off a Mars like (male) vibration so step up your game and ask someone out, make a bold move or appearance, you'll be glad you did.  Remember to take it easy during the retrograde period February through March generally speaking, other than that, you can get a lot done during this period where, Mars in Virgo, Jupiter in Taurus and, yes (!) Pluto in Capricorn form that grand trine that we here on earth are all being blessed with!
