Why We’re Still Crushing on Adam Brody (It’s his Virgo Mars)

Look, I didn’t plan on falling for Adam Brody. But here I am, years after The O.C., still thinking about Seth Cohen’s quick wit and awkward charm like it’s 2004 and I’m thirteen again, doodling hearts in my notebook. And you know what? It’s not just nostalgia, it’s the stars. Yep, Adam Brody’s Mars placement is basically a cosmic recipe for being wholesome, lovable, and weirdly irresistible. So, let’s unpack this, shall we?

Mars is all about drive, passion, and how we go after what we want. In Adam’s chart, Mars sits in Virgo in the 7th house, the house of partnerships. This means his passion and energy are channeled into his relationships. He’s not just a "show up when it’s convenient" kind of guy. Nope, he’s all in. Virgo’s influence adds a layer of meticulousness and thoughtfulness. He’s the guy who pays attention to the little things, your coffee order, your dog’s name, that random fact you mentioned once about loving vintage typewriters. And because his Mars is at 9 degrees, a Sagittarius degree, he’s not just attentive—he’s adventurous, curious, and always ready to dive into deep, meaningful conversations. Think spontaneous road trips mixed with philosophical debates about whether pineapple belongs on pizza.

But it doesn’t stop there. His Mars placement forms a sextile with his Scorpio Moon in the 9th house. Now, a sextile is like a cosmic high-five...a supportive aspect that brings out the best in both planets. This combo means he’s got emotional depth (thanks, Scorpio Moon) and an adventurous spirit (shoutout to the 9th house). He FEELS things deeply but isn’t over-the-top about it. Instead, he’ll casually drop some profound, soul baring truth in the middle of a conversation about your favorite bands. And you’ll be left wondering how you’re suddenly talking about the meaning of life.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. His Mars squares his 10th house Mercury in Sagittarius, creating a bit of tension. A square is like the universe saying, "Hey, you’ve got some stuff to work through." This means Adam might sometimes speak before he thinks, blurting out things that are hilariously honest. But honestly? That’s part of the charm and why the public loves him, it’s also why he feels so genuine, he’s not filtering himself to fit some image. With Mercury in Sagittarius, his thoughts are big, bold, and a little philosophical. He’s the guy at the party who’s cracking jokes one minute and waxing poetic about the universe the next. And then there’s Mars conjunct Jupiter, the cosmic equivalent of passion on steroids. This aspect screams optimism, enthusiasm, and a larger-than-life approach to everything he does. It’s why he lights up a room without even trying. He’s got that "I’m excited about life and I want you to be, too" energy. And honestly? It’s contagious.

So, why do we love Adam Brody? It’s not just the floppy hair and the sarcastic grin (though, let’s be real, that doesn’t hurt). It’s the way his Mars placement blends drive, thoughtfulness, emotional depth, and just the right amount of awkward. He’s the guy who’ll make you laugh, challenge your ideas, and remember the little things that make you feel seen. And with his recent role in Nobody Wants This and that adorable red carpet banter with Leighton Meester, it’s clear he’s still the same lovable, grounded guy we’ve always adored. Basically, Adam Brody’s Mars placement is like the perfect indie rom-com script...quirky, heartfelt, and impossible not to love.
