On Friday, August 20, Mars enters Gemini, where it will for the next seven months! Normally, Mars spends only six weeks in a zodiac sign, so this is a very unusual occurrence.

The reason for this extra-long stay is because of Mars’ upcoming retrograde. From October 30, 2022 to January 12, 2023, Mars will be travelling backwards through the sky from 25° to 8° Gemini.

There are still a couple of months before the retrograde, but as soon as Mars enters Gemini, you will likely get a preview for what the Mars Retrograde will bring up for you. So it’s important to start observing and reflecting on what Mars in Gemini means for you right now — it will help you prepare for the retrograde this fall.
