Mars entered the sign of Gemini at 2:32a PDT on Friday, 21st April 2017. Though Mars is associated with action, it can make your communications more impulsive and assertive, possibly even aggressive. Thoughts, ideas, and questions come quickly, and may fly out of your mouth as words before you’re actually ready for them to do so. It will be important for you to do your best to think about what you want to say or ask, and why you want to say or ask it before you let it come out.
That said, with both the Mars and the Gemini influences in play, actions themselves may also be more impulsive and less thought-out than you may intend….and they will act as another form of communication during these next few weeks. Even if you don’t verbally say a word, your actions will speak volumes, and it will be up to you to make sure they say what you want them to say.
This will probably be a challenging month for many individuals. Under the current Taurus Sun, there will be little tolerance for Gemini Mars’ rapid-fire communication, inquiry, and action styles. For many people who are gradually making changes in their lives (and especially those who aren’t very eager to embrace change in the first place), this energy could push them much faster than they want to go in answering questions about their personal values or making changes to their familiar lifestyles. This 2017 Mars in Gemini will likely generate a good deal of friction as people may become frustrated or angry over being “rushed” to make choices and/or adjust to new circumstances and /or environments.
The transits over the next few weeks give great insight into Mars in Gemini’s effects over the next few weeks. Let’s take a look at them:
- Gemini Mars square Virgo North Node/Pisces South Node, most exact on 23rd April – Your choices & actions now will have a lasting impact. Be mindful about speaking or acting on impulse as it could change the course of your life journey.
- Gemini Mars opposite Sagittarius Black Moon Lilith, most exact on 4th May – How much you really desire truth, freedom, growth, and expansion in your life? If you’re not putting your words into action, you don’t really want it as badly as you say you do.
- Gemini Mars square Pisces Neptune, most exact on 11th May – Your dreams may never come true if you’re not following through on them with aligned thoughts and actions. This transit may challenge you with a choice to either continue dreaming or to take action to make your dreams come true.
- Gemini Mars trine Libra Jupiter Retrograde, most exact on 12th May – Acting on the feedback you receive from your 1-on-1 interactions with others could open your mind and expand your life beyond your wildest dreams.
- Gemini Mars quincunx Capricorn Pluto Retrograde, most exact on 19th May – Be sure to remember your public and professional goals and ambitions. Impulsive actions/communications could indirectly affect your ability to pursue and/or achieve them.
It may not be an easy or smooth month ahead having Mars in Gemini. Yet it may be just what you need to make long procrastinated and long overdue changes, getting you out of any ruts you may be in and putting you into a new and improved lifestyle and frame of mind. The rough ride may be worth the rewards and returns which come out of these next few weeks.
Just remember – your actions will be just as, if not more important than your words.
Choose both wisely.
Mars will be in Gemini now through 4th June 2017.
