Mars conjunct the South Node in Virgo - healthcare cuts

The transiting South Node represents a point of letting go. The sign and planets it is aspecting shows us the things that we will have to surrender in order to move closer to our lives destiny.

The South Node is currently traveling Virgo, while the North Node is in Pisces. Virgo is a sign that governs healthcare, hospitals, the pharmacological industry, the working class, and especially social workers. It is ruled by the planet Mercury. Mercury is still retrograde in Leo, till the 11th of August, making any themes of Virgo be ”a work in progress”.

Mars is also traveling the sign of Virgo till August the 7th. Mars is known as an aggressive, action oriented planet. Mars is also associated with cutting. Mars in Virgo acts by a step by step plan, it does controls and verifications before acting. On the 23rd of July it will be conjunct the South Node in Virgo. Meaning after ticking its checking list, Mars will take action to sever things it considers wasteful and not useful.

On a national level, in my country, some social healthcare was cut during this transit. Also there have been rearrangements regarding the occupation rate of hospital beds in healthcare facilities.

Efficient changes and measures in healthcare systems seem to be a theme associated with Mars in Virgo transit. I am still unable to pinpoint how the North Node in Pisces is impacting this. Saturn will return to Pisces for a brief period of time and we will probably also see themes of the North Node in Pisces soon.
