The astrological planet Mars is fiery, passionate, and forward moving. It represents action and ushers in strong masculine energy. It is associated with a warrior spirit and the desire to keep fighting.
The astrological sign Gemini brings in airy energy full of playfulness and curiosity. Gemini is ruled by Mercury which is the planet of communication. Writing, speaking, and learning will feel much easier when Gemini turns direct in Mars.
Gemini is associated with the third house which deals with early education, local neighborhood, and nearby travel. Community involvement or a staycation is the perfect way to take advantage of this energy. Motivation to learn close by is another way to satisfy the urge for exciting information.
When Mars goes direct, it simply means that the planetary body is moving in the same direction as the other planets in the system.
Mars retrogrades every two years for approximately 10 weeks at a time. Retrograde is when a planetary body appears to be moving backward, but it is more about the energy being blocked at an external level. The area of life ruled by Mars will not be expressed as easily.
The red planet will retrograde October 30th, 2022 through January 12th, 2023.
Be aware of trickery and say what you mean during this period. Words can become weaponized but also used for good. There is a strong theme of assessing how we show up in the world through the freedom of expression.
Before Mars goes retrograde try to have those tough conversations. Turn motivation into action. Physical energy may feel low, and frustrations could arise once Mars goes into retrograde. Use this time to your advantage.
Mars can feel like a difficult planet to work with, but it pushes us to become our best selves. It helps us overcome roadblocks so that successful action can take place. With Mars in Gemini, we can take time to immerse ourselves in experiences that we might not otherwise during other Mars transits.
Mars direct in Gemini is a favorable time to get involved with your immediate environment. Exploration is a big theme when Gemini is in Mars. We are here to grow and learn, after all!
