Mars will enter Cancer on August 11th
Mars entering Gemini creates some dynamic shifts within the first week. A conjunction with Uranus ((July 3rd)), sextile to Neptune ((July 4th)) and trine to Pluto ((July 5th)). Mars has only about 2 days to try to ground itself into Gemini before these intense and exciting aspect start peaking.
((This is a expression of Mars in Gemini :: The transits will be discussed separately))
Mars in Gemini
Mars in Gemini brings massive waves of energy to all forms of thought, communication and movement. This is an opening and invigoration of the mental faculties. More thought per moment. Time may feel sped up and distorted as energy lines are running at higher speeds. Efficiency of the energy flow occurs. Breath, heart rate and speed of thoughts all increases.
With all of this may come the desire to ‘get everything done at once’. FOMO can occur. Key to this time is to focus on yourself, your interests, your passions and find ways to share that joy and excitement with the world around you.
Some wiring isn’t well established and that may show up during this transit as more electricity flows through. If you have been stressed, double down on your stress management techniques. Yoga, meditation, walks, hiking, sitting for tea, petting a cat, running away to an island in the south pacific and befriending the colorful birds. Whatever works for you. We can also lose ourselves into a book, a movie, or just drive a different way home from work. Anything that gets us out of our own way and in line with the joy of living.
With Mars in Gemini, avoid stimulants such as caffeine and sugar. They are tools, yes, but the energy is in the ether and it wants to be in your body. Slow down now and then, take some deep breaths, clear your mind and notice the energy boost. 3-5 minutes can change your entire perspective and energy levels. I mean, hell, one minute can do that. No one can help you if you don’t help yourself. In short, RE CENTER whenever you can, cause things are spinning pretty fast.
This represents a test of capacity, patience and tolerance. As each minor situation has various twists and turns that we can take, staying the course takes just a bit more energy. When working with others, this dynamic combines and if we don’t have the patience for it, it can be grueling. Consider what is useful and valuable, and what might just be outdated. Put it on the shelf or get rid of it altogether. Go for what makes you happy, interests you and excites you.
Situations that GIVE you energy are the best, look for them.
Consider how your personal growth is skewed towards ‘being productive’. Take a moment to recognize the power of acceptance. What if we never changed at all. What if we never ‘produced’ anything? What would that look like? What would that feel like? How would we feel about ourselves? Some basic sense of self may have gotten lost in the mix in our busy world. Reclaim it. Then, by all means, go be as productive as you want, as you can, as your body, mind and life reasonably allow.
As the ability to manifest through thoughts strengthens, we may find our inconsistencies, insecurities or faulty beliefs more easily accessible. A small shock from the carpet isn’t much, but touching a fork to an electrical outlet certainly is. Mars may feed into our wounds and make them seem more raw, shocking and uncomfortable. In Gemini, remember that we have to feed our brain and manage our thoughts. Becoming too fragmented leaves us open to anything and everything. Unedited and coercive media is rampant between our televisions and phones. I adore the time we live in, I consider the freedom to express one of the most healing and telling ventures of modern times. However, what is shared isn’t really for the receiver, viewer or reader. It is for the person expressing.
In my writing here, I have a specific goal of assisting in understanding the energy patterns. At best, this writing helps the reader feel more prepared, seen and at ease with the changes and shifts. I recognize that my words may also be triggering, confusing, frustrating or even offensive to some. The point is, all that I can have is my intention. It is a complete blessing to me that anyone reads and is impacted.
As social media continues to ramp up in influence, consider this. Getting likes or notoriety as a goal can be damaging to the self concept. Over time, getting boosts of energy from the strangers through a device can cause us to forget to ‘feed ourselves’. While, again, I enjoy connecting online and like it when my information is shared, I recognize that it is NOT the same as honoring myself or spending time with people in person. Social connections that are only electronic leave something lacking.
As a balance to this transit, ensure that you are putting your phone down and getting present with the world. There will be a lot to see and take in via the phones. I expect the transits to outer planets to foster some intriguing storylines within the media. Are the stories important? Probably not. What will be important is how the stories portrayed impact the focus, energy and well being of the people exposed to it. We cannot verify the truth of an event. If we want to believe something, we will. That doesn’t make it true.
How will this time affect our communities and sense of well being? That is up to us. Choose where you focus. It is okay to opt out of mass hysteria.
Beware of building your house on assumptions, reports and heresay. There is enough in your day to day life to fill you with the spirit of God. Love what is around you, get to know your environments. The best conversations happen in person, on the phone or in your own head… haha.
Research and investigation are all favored during this time. Findings require dedication and diligence. If it interests us enough, we will probably be willing to see it through. If it doesn’t, we can easily become bored, distracted and unmotivated. Get lost in some interests, even if you end up going to bed a little later than usual. Maybe you discover that you are interested in something completely new. This can be the difference between a neurotic mind and a fulfilled and positive mindset. Keep your eyes and ears out for new interests.
