Mars stations Direct in Gemini

Mars is stationing direct today, January 12th, at 8 degrees Gemini (have any planets around 8 degrees of Gemini or the other mutable signs- Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces? You’ll be more impacted.)

This is a big moment, which we will start feeling quite slowly, as Mars is still moving very slowly.

Mars has been retrograde since October 30th, 2022, suggesting that we’ve been in hibernation in many ways since then and taking a pause to reflect. What have you been reviewing? hint: look at the house in your chart that contains Gemini).

Mars is a planet about action, how we are motivated, how we fight, and how we engage with conflict (or don’t).

Whatever you’ve been mulling over over the last few months (perhaps even since August when Mars first entered Gemini), clarity may start to emerge about what to do, where to go, or how to address an issue.

Or, perhaps you’ve been waiting for something from someone during this retrograde and you’re finally starting to get answers or actively ask for them.

Questions to ask yourself:

Where is there a need for a new strategy with regards to what you want?

What have you been reflecting on regarding your anger or how you confront people?

What has changed about your courage and willingness to take risks?

Other general themes we’ve been reviewing include:

How we take action

How we take a stand for or against something

How we engage with conflict (or avoid it)

How we scatter our energy

How we are motivated (or unmotivated)

How we can better nourish our nervous systems

Mars will be in Gemini until March 25th 2023, giving us ample time to make the necessary changes we’ve been contemplating or to move forward in areas of life that have felt challenging or that have been on pause.
