On August 21, 2022, the planet Mars went from the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus where it has been since July 5 into the Mutable Air sign of Gemini. Those that have planets in the sign of Gemini will have conjunctions to these planets during Mar’s stay in Gemini which lasts until March 26, 2023. A side note, Mars goes into retrograde October 30.
Mars is the
planet of action and defines the energy which is required to motivate us in a
particular direction. Check where your Mars is located in your natal chart by
house and sign to see how its energies work in your life. Mars is known as the
warrior planet due to its insistent push and aggression and when combined with
the more challenging planets and difficult aspects can be quite formidable.
Mars in
Gemini has to do with the desire to advance in knowledge and in general
intellectual pursuits. This can be an educationally motivating time and the
main reference point has to do with communication. Gemini is adaptable, versatile,
and pursues information. Discussions or arguments can arise depending on other
aspects to this position. The house of your T Mars will speak in terms of the
area of life involved along with the natal position of how it might define
itself.
Gemini is
changeable and it might be important to stick with your chosen endeavors at
this time once started. However, making up your mind might come quickly but
sway under this influence. One minute you might think that you want to advance
in a certain direction and the next you might be motivated to move in the
opposite direction. Decisions can be challenging and your mind will likely be
quite busy.
When Mars
goes retrograde it may move over the same degree once again in the chart as it
moves from the beginning of Gemini and turns retrograde at 25° and then moves
back to 8° before it begins its movement ahead again. The first contact of any
planet over the same degree of a planet or point in the natal chart is usually
the most intense and intensity is often what Mars is about. During the retrograde
cycle which lasts quite a long time we often have some time to plan our action
and once direct again, we might move forward. Some say that it is not wise to
move ahead with plans during retrograde cycles.
Think
things out before you leap might be an advisable intention and watch for
aggressive potentials if you have challenging aspects intertwining with Mars’
movement.
