Saturday, August 20th, the Moon travels through Gemini, the sign of duality and diversity, all day!
Mars enters Gemini, 2:56 AM: Mars, planet of action, anger, self-defense, the initiator, the sexual driver, and being headstrong, enters the sign of Gemini. Gemini is a sign of duality, diversity, multifaceted qualities, good/evil, siblings, and communications. Mars usually spends about 40 days in each sign. This year, Mars will be going retrograde and will be in Gemini for an extended period of time.
The Mars Calendar is:
Mars enters Gemini – Aug. 20th
Mars goes retrograde – October 13th
Mars goes stationary retrograde October 31st
Mars is stationary direct Jan 12th, 2023
Mars is direct Feb 18th 2023
As Mars travels through Gemini, it will affect the Mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, and Sagittarius.
For those that have Mars in Gemini natally, this is your Mars return. An event that happens about every two years. The first time this happens, we call it the “Terrible Twos”!
The USA has Mars in Gemini so all Americans will be impacted by this. There could be more anger and potential violence. The division between the people with consciousness and those without will grow wider. This can also mean some military involvement for the USA! And with the ongoing problems with Russian and the Ukraine and Chine will be heating up! Our past president is a Gemini Sun and Sagittarius Moon. He will be directly impacted and may feel that he is under attack and he will be more erratic in his actions.
The house Mars is traveling through in your chart can tell you where the action is going to be the most intense. This can also affect supply lines, transportation, the internet, and traffic in general. Be prepared for this long retrograde period. We will also have a Mercury retrograde in September and at the end of the year in December through January 2023. Keep on your toes. Flexibility will be very helpful. Be careful about over investing yourself into projects and loosing your perspective.
Moon sextiles Venus, 4:09 AM: This lunar aspect should help us sleep soundly through the morning. We may remember more of our dreams on this morning.
All times are central.
Sunday, August 21st, the Moon travels through Gemini for most of the day. Luna does go void at 5:06 PM in Gemini. But the Moon enters Cancer at 7:29 PM and is no longer void-of-course.
Moon Trine Saturn, 2:04 AM: This aspect would have more impact in the daytime, but it should upset our sleep. If you are awake, this is a good time to complete some task!
Mercury opposes Neptune, 2:40 AM: Deception, lack of clarity, confusion of facts all work well for people who are trying to hide or deceive others. For most of us, we will want to relax and lay back and let the time go by. This is a good time for meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, and a glass of wine if you are awake at this time! We are moving slowly, so take your time as others will be doing the same thing. This can indicate internet problems, traffic delays, missed messages, and bad timing all around. This aspect has been in play for the last 10 days and will be strong for the next 10 days. This could be a very good time to study art, metaphysics, go to a museum, a long trip to the spa/beach/lake, or just napping. This aspect has the strongest impact on the Mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, and Sagittarius. This is not a good time to replace electronics, your car, or hid evidence that the FBI is looking for! It’s a time to chill.
Moon squares Neptune, 8:47 AM: Moon squares Mercury, 9:29 AM: This Luna aspect and the next one both trigger the ongoing Mercury/Neptune opposition. We will need to give ourselves lots and lots of extra time to get to where we are going. For most of us, we want just to chill and hang out this morning avoiding decisions and drama types. We will have a late start to our day.
:
Moon sextiles Sun, 5:06 PM: We are more energetic this late afternoon that is better for planned activities. This is a good time to work with your social media, podcast, and some Tik Toking! A great time to be with your friends.
The Moon in Gemini at 5:06 PM is now void-of-course until 7:29 PM when Luna enters Cancer and is no longer void-of-course.
All times are central.
