ARRIOR Mars enters Gemini in August beginning his unusually long stay in the sign of the twins. This season will not come without its challenges especially when the retrograde motion begins. This phenomenon is observed from the earth as the planet’s apparent backward movement, due to the relative position of Mars and the Earth in relation to the Sun. What does that mean? Let me walk you through this celestial season, that is about to make significant changes in many aspects of our life. Mars is retrograde from 30th October - 12th January and only leaves Gemini at the end of March.
Mars in Gemini In the sign of Gemini, Mars expresses itself through communication, travelling, ideas and socialising. Mars fires up our exchange of ideas, words, mind, intellect and the way we connect to each other through, especially on social media. We can be more physically active, move around a lot, sprinting, and weights. Forceful expression of ideas, passionate ventilation will be likely. The digital world will be fired up, writing a blog, designing websites, activity in the neighbourhood, road rage, social media debates are all to be expected.
Mars retrograde When Mars appears retrograde in heavens, the action, the will and ego are reigned in. It’s time to deal with the past and karma, rather than being a time to start new ventures, relationships, and businesses.

Mars’ energy is limited and restricted in some way but, because he hates being reined in and forced to deal with the past, he will be irritated and frustrated. The retrograde period offers us a chance to learn from the past to come into a proper relationship with our Mars in Gemini, the divine masculine within us. Responding with passion and learning assertive communication without offending other people will be on the agenda. Piers Morgan who’s Mercury and Mars are closely intertwined said, ``We are all walking on eggshells, terrified of offending people, terrified of losing our job over a misspoken tweet or a comment on Facebook. It has got to stop!’ Mars’ backtracking in Gemini urges us to deal with past mistakes and learn to interact on social media even with fiercely energised intellect.
