![]() ![]() Throughout the rest of his journey through Gemini, Mars is going to align with Neptune and Saturn. To prevent misunderstandings, it can be useful to ask for clarifications if something feels off, before impulsively reacting. The Mars-Mercury alignment suggests the importance of paying particular attention to the way we articulate and verbalize our desires, needs, and thoughts. The quincunx between Mars and retrograde Mercury in Capricorn can be more complex to navigate, as quincunxes are aspects of paradox, indicating a need for adjustment. The Mars-Venus trine enhances our capacity to establish healthy compromises, agreements, and win-win solutions that support our relationships. It supports the alignment of our desires, needs, and values with those of others and it is favorable for the resolution of relational conflicts. The Mars-Venus trine is an aspect of connection, flow, and ease. ![]() Mars is stationing direct while forming a trine aspect to Venus in Aquarius and a quincunx aspect to retrograde Mercury in Capricorn. Throughout the upcoming days and weeks, we are likely to feel more confident about what we truly desire and clearer about the direction to take. His shift of motion is an energizing event that will progressively increase the dynamism and the momentum of these days, stimulating our desire for movement, our desire for our reality to shift, as well as our willingness to take risks, make changes, take new paths, and explore different solutions. Mars’ appears to be at a standstill right now, from our perspective on Earth. During the upcoming weeks, we will be able to move forward with more clarity and gain a deeper understanding of the subtle shifts in our perceptions, our desires, our goals, and our life direction that took place while Mars was retrograde. The post-shadow period is a time of integration and adjustment of what took place during the retrograde and invites us to act in alignment with the inner changes that happened. ![]() Mars stationed retrograde at 25º of Gemini and the retrograde post-shadow phase is going to last until March 16, when the planet reaches again the degree on which he stationed retrograde. Mars stations direct: Moving Forward with Clarity This transit has encouraged us to shift our focus inwardly and examine all those patterns and behaviors that tend to come up for us with respect to taking initiative, sexuality, self-assertion, communication, expressing anger, and following desire. During this time, we have been invited to revolutionize, reframe, and redefine the way we think about desire, the way we communicate our desires, the way we go after what we desire, the way navigate conflict and confrontation, the way we assert ourselves, the way we think about sexuality, and the way we relate to our sexuality. Mars has been in retrograde motion for approximately ten weeks. Mars in Gemini encourages us to experiment with different ways to take action on our ideas and verbalize our desires: this transit favors independent thinking and assertive, direct communication. Since Mars has been in Gemini, our minds have been more energized. Gemini is a Mutable Air archetype, correlated to logical reasoning, accumulation of data and information, inductive learning, observation of the environment and the duality inherent in it. ![]() Transits of Mars inform us of changes in our relationship with our desires and in our approach to initiating and going after what we want.

Mars’ journey through Gemini: Exploration of Duality, Desire, and Assertiveness We could feel the urge to shift the direction we are moving towards, initiate something new, or take action to make significant changes in our lives. Around this time, we are likely to gain a deeper understanding of something that was still unclear during the retrograde. Mars stationing direct will be felt more powerfully by those of us who have natal placements around the 8º of Mutable signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. The Red Planet’s shift of motion offers us an invitation to align our actions and choices with the new awareness that has been emerging. Since October 30, we have been on a journey inwards, a journey of exploration of the truth of what moves us, a journey of discovery of our Soul desires, of our core intentions and motivations. The Red Planet has been in Gemini since August 20 and is going to remain in the sign of the Twins until March 25. This is a powerful energetic shift: Mars turning direct is a clear invitation to move forward and follow the path of our deepest desires, according to the insights we gained while the planet was in an apparent backward motion. On January 12, 3:56 PM ET Mars stations direct at 8º Gemini after being in retrograde motion since October 30. ![]()
