As an entre, consider Mars has, is, or soon will be, in it's own hood ~ 1st house.
His hawkish Virgo eye is seeing what's in his way ~ others.
7th house Pisces.
Right now it's time for you folks to move out of your own way. No ifs and buts.
I just told that to my friend Saralinda who is a business manager for a mental health service. She is Virgo rising.
My Venus sits on her descendant and we've been best friends since we met 20 years ago. I know her well.
At one time, in early 90's when she was unemployed for a year, she took pottery and welding classes (she's a Taurus). She made amazing, functional things. I still have the sturdy gifts she gave me.
It was the happiest I'd ever seen her.
I remnd her of that through the years. She is at a boiling simmer right now. Says something's gonna change.
Her user boyfriend of 3 years, a mother~hating Cancer who conjuncts my friend's Venus, has become the focal point.
She says she see's how she's been used and disrespected and she's really not even angry ~ she's just moving out of it and away from it.
Job, Boyfriend, Mate, Child ~
sometimes the same thing for Virgo Rising
Earthy duty, fixin' others, compassionately self reducing.
Not much of a better example of 1st/7th for pinpointing the imbalance between serving and putting others and things before yourself.
Mars is activating these imbalances while it barges thru your 1st house for quite a while. Step-aside detachment from obligatory relations/agreements getting you nowhere is required.
Mars always asserts our Sun, goes after, in its manner, what makes us glow. And won't give a second to anything that doesn't.
