What To Expect When Mars Enters Gemini, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
It’s fortunate, and strangely appropriate, that the fighter planet ingresses into Gemini on a Saturday. You’ll need all the free time you can get on July 20, when Mars makes its way out of the slow and steady terrain of Taurus and into the inquisitive, silver-tongued realm of Gemini. Thank God for weekends.
Gemini is one of two signs ruled by the messenger planet Mercury, so, as you can imagine, it is crucial for the cultivation of culturally influential new ideas, technologies, and software. It’s no coincidence that Google named their new artificial intelligence chatbot after the sign of the twins.
Google Gemini is only one example of how the tech sector will fight back against largely negative attitudes from the public regarding AI. From now until September 4, when this Mars transit ends, there will likely be an escalation in propagandizing for new software, even the enforcement of it in certain workplaces and industries.
On the other hand, those with legitimate interest in preserving the sanctity of traditional literature written by real people with real hearts, minds, and souls, will fight back just as hard. This war will be one of words and ideas, and the most skilled orator will be the winner.
That said, if you’re a writer, speaker, lecturer, life coach, or you work in any aspect of digital media, you will find this transit highly powerful and conducive to getting a lot done in a short span of time. Ideas and trends will seem to move at a faster speed, reaching a wider audience in a shorter period of time—and collectively, we’ll be more willing to assert our opinions.
Mars is nothing if not forceful, so you can anticipate external and material consequences to this transit. Right now, the urban-exploration app Randonautica, popular with bored teens during the 2020 lockdowns and allegedly powered by thoughts and “intention,” is experiencing a sudden resurgence.
Perhaps by the beginning of September there will be a new and exciting social media platform threatening to usurp the big names—or the new trend will be Luddite digital detoxes. Even the most jaded, screen-addicted Gen Zs are recognizing that the water we’re swimming in is polluted; it’s time to come up for a breath of fresh air. And that’s exactly what flighty but super-intelligent Gemini provides.
What can you expect this two-month stretch of fast-paced movement to bring you, according to your rising sign? Read on to get a general idea.
Aries.
Mars’ grand entrance into your third house will put a greater emphasis on your local community, including neighbors, siblings, and extended family, but also potentially cause conflicts between all of the above. No one will be able to keep their mouths shut, least of all you, the sign who best encompasses the phrase “act first, think later.” Pick your battles, as you’re going to attract a lot of wounded masculine ego into your social sphere right now. If your willingness to speak with boldness triggers the men in your family or friend group, that’s likely nothing more than a reflection of their own insecurities. Meanwhile, if you work in a field that requires any form of digital communication or writing, you’ll be thriving, motivated to take on the most daunting projects even if they require working lots of overtime.
Taurus.
With Mars transiting your second house for the rest of the summer, you’ll be working harder than ever for your money, but the payoff will be worth it. You’ll feel more energized and excited about your work, no matter what it is, and may even take on an extra job or kickstart a side hustle to fund your dream luxury lifestyle. Brainstorm ways to increase your net worth and set them into action. This is likely to feel like one of those manic periods in your life that makes no sense until you talk about it years from now on a podcast. It’s the beginning of your origin story. If you start out scrappy, you’ll succeed if you make the right moves. On the other hand, men in your workplace are probably going to be threatened by your sudden power, and some may even try to silence you. Don’t let the bastards get you down.
Gemini.
You won’t be able to abandon your gym membership for much longer, with Mars in your first house placing a strong focus on your physical health. You’ll have more energy than ever, and you’ll feel the need to actually do something about it. Take up running, learn to longboard, or join a local sports league. Even if you’re not naturally inclined towards athleticism, you’ll find yourself intrigued by activities that require adrenaline and brute power. If you’re hoping to attract men into your sphere this summer, the probability is high that they’ll swarm to you like moths to a flame; something about your own masculine strength will make you irresistible to them. On the other hand, you could work too hard and burn yourself out before the summer is up. You’re not one to take things slow, but it’s important to build an exercise and wellness routine steadily over time rather than sign up for a marathon on a whim. Listen to your friends’ well-meaning advice. You need balance in your life now more than ever.
Cancer.
With Mars in your twelfth house, you’re likely to feel more spiritual and covetous of your alone time, preferring your own company than that of your casual friends. This is an ideal time for self-reflection, journaling, and committing to a recovery plan if you’ve been struggling with any mental health or addiction problems. Hermit mode is sometimes healthy, as long as you don’t drop off the face of the earth and worry your friends and family. If you can’t stand the sight of your own four walls anymore, sign up for a retreat in the wilderness and incorporate some daily physical exercise into your largely mental transformation. However, be aware that self-medication is unwise right now. You’ll want to keep your head about you at all times and be hyper-aware of who you’re letting into your intimate space, as this transit brings the potential for attracting stalkers, especially those who prey on your vulnerable mental state. If you’re attending AA, for instance, learn to dodge the “thirteenth-steppers” and don’t assume that everyone’s kindness is sincere.
Leo.
Your social circle is about to get much more expansive and interesting, but the potential for conflict—especially among male friends and colleagues—is just as high. If you love sitting back and observing the drama, you might find this summer pretty fun, but be aware that neutrality still sends a message to certain people: you might, by the time this transit is up, be forced to take a side. On a more positive note, you might find yourself attracted to social groups and teams that are passionate about health, physical activity, and self-defence. Don’t hesitate if a casual friend invites you to her puppy yoga class. It might end up being the best—and cutest—experience of your life. If you’re looking to date casually, men in your professional network might slide in your DMs, or a friend might hook you up with someone, but be cautious of getting too invested. This is the energy of short-term summer romance, not serious commitment.
Virgo.
Your career has already been on the upswing since Gemini season, but you’ll see some major action playing out in your tenth house during the latter half of the summer. Whatever you put into action back in May and June is likely to deliver some return on investment, with the added bonus of attracting some powerful and alluring people. Men, especially, will prove influential to you, either vouching for your skill and talent—or ruthlessly trying to bring you down. Look out for toxic exes coming back around and spreading rumors, and avoid getting into romantic entanglements with male mentors and bosses. It might seem harmless, and it’s likely to feel organic considering the dynamics of your relationship, but you are ultimately competent enough to succeed on your own. You’ll be busy hustling this summer, especially if you work in digital media, influencing, or publishing, and you won’t feel like you even want to stop for a second to catch your breath. Remember that life isn’t all about work. You can take time for guilt-free leisure, too.
Libra.
Your world is about to get a whole lot bigger. Many of you will be leaving their current locations to embark on late-summer European vacations, and while the point might be to “find yourself,” you’ll probably spend more time getting in touch with your physical body and understanding its limitations than lounging by the sea with a book in your hand. Even if you’re taking a retreat for religious reasons, or settling into your new home for your study-abroad year, any foreign travels will be physically demanding. If you’re typically the glamping type, and like to avoid getting your hands dirty, this experience is likely to build character and teach you a thing or two about humility. While you definitely will meet a lot of male guides on this pilgrimage, from bohemian shamans to handsome young professors, you also run the risk of being swindled and manipulated by men on the road. Keep your belongings close to you and be cautious about who you go out for drinks with. Don’t let the fear dominate your adventure, but use your common sense, too.
Scorpio.
Mars entering your eighth house can be a disorienting time, causing you to reflect on your own mortality, finances, and where you belong in the world. A fair few of you are going to receive sudden inheritances or debts paid off thanks to male relatives; others will begin the process of divorce from their spouse and become frustrated by the division of assets. Some of you, though, will experience this as a more positive and enjoyable time, attracting a true force of nature into your life and beginning a relationship that is profoundly psychosexual. You’ll understand each other in the dark and during the light of day, sharing a common willingness to bear your souls to one another and losing sleep to communicate your shared ideals and daydream about the future. However, if this fire burns out almost as fast as it started, or you end up in a bit of a love-hate dynamic, don’t be shocked; this type of karmic relationship is rare but ultimately necessary for your growth as a human being. You might not marry this person, but you certainly won’t ever forget them.
Sagittarius.
You might be hopeful that Mars in your seventh house will bring your long-awaited man written by a woman, the one anomaly who enables you to delete Hinge once and for all. But the dark side of this transit can’t be ignored. You can just as easily become burdened by an obsessive guy friend who can’t accept that you don’t reciprocate his romantic feelings, or an obsessive ex who resorts to messaging you via Venmo since he’s blocked everywhere else. Be especially wary of anyone who comes on way too strong, flexing their money, power, or influence. If you’re already happily partnered, this will inevitably be a very exciting time for both of you. Start integrating more of your separate lives together, either by spending more time in each other’s spaces or committing to a workout regime together. Those of you who start training physically together will ultimately test the solidity of their relationship, since petty fights are bound to happen when you’re both exhausted after a game of pickleball. By the time this transit wraps itself up, you’ll know for certain whether your competitive streak is going to drive your person away—or make them love you all the more.
Capricorn.
The next several weeks are all about your health, routine, and work habits, thanks to Mars’ transit through your sixth house. If you work in communications, you’ll be feeling extra-motivated to wake up every morning and get to the office. Even if you work from home, you’re going to need less coffee to feel invigorated, and you’ll feel genuine passion for your work. It’s a great time to integrate midday workouts or stretches into your day, keeping you in good mental and physical shape. Your responsibilities will undoubtedly ramp up near the end of the summer, but you’ll be more than ready to take them on, even if they require more physical training to be at peak performance. As your vitality becomes more evident to everyone around you, you might find yourself extra confident—and combative—at the office, coming off like a threat to male colleagues who had previously looked down on you. You could attract a brief tryst with a male coworker, but it likely won’t be serious; you’ll be too busy to commit to someone, especially if they can’t keep up with your current pace.
Aquarius.
With Mars in your fifth house, you’ll be having lots of fun as the summer comes to a close. Many of you will be working with kids in jobs that require a lot of strenuous, long days, such as daycares, sleepaway camps, and creative programs for kids interested in writing and communications. Others will be running themselves ragged caring for a new baby of their own. Those of you who avoid kids at all costs will more than likely experience this joy in the form of a new, swoon-worthy affair, or a creative project. You’ll be exerting a lot of physical and mental energy, especially if you’re balancing multiple responsibilities, so be careful you don’t burn yourself out. Also, use your intuition when it comes to dating. If you’re enjoying the freedom of going out on multiple Tinder dates a week, you don’t owe any single partner a statement of commitment right away. And, obviously, if a man gives you a bad vibe, exit stage left and block his number.
Pisces.
Mars in your fourth house will jumpstart your home renovation era, inspiring you to completely revamp everything about your living space—or move impulsively. Some of you, in fact, will clash so hard with male landlords or relatives that you feel you have no other choice but to get out of Dodge. On that note, family conflicts are to be expected during this transit, but you can choose to remain neutral if the issue doesn’t directly impact you. Use your newfound stamina to build a small home gym or get rid of your old couch. Your space, whether it’s a one-bedroom apartment in Bushwick or a sprawling farmhouse in the Midwest, deserves to make you feel absolutely safe, comfortable, and at ease. Around this time, men will provide annoyances in your home and family life, but they’ll also serve you well if you need manual labor done around the house. For instance, if you start a DIY project that ends up being too much for you to handle on your own, enlist the help of your guy friends. It’s okay to lean on someone else for a change.
