8/20/22 ✨ Mars Enters Gemini
✨ Happy Saturn Day!
SUN IN LEO | MOON IN GEMINI
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: The actions I take are aligned with my highest purpose.
🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:
♉️ MARS ➡️ GEMINI ♊️ 12:57 AM PT
Mars moves into the sign of the twins, picking up the pace. Multitasking feels easy. We want to do all the things under this transit and we'll have plenty of energy to extend in multiple directions. We're also more motivated to learn new information with Mars in Gemini. Enrolling in a new course or cracking open a new book (or a few) will feel aligned. But don't be surprised if you swing from high to low with the planet of aggression in the sign of the twins. Our actions are less predictable now.
This is an extended Mars transit. The red planet stations retrograde later this year, keeping Mars in Gemini until March 25, 2023!

THE MOON:
🌗 WANING CRESCENT MOON IN GEMINI ♊️
The waning moon in Gemini helps us release and surrender through communication. Using our words- whether through conversation or writing- can help us process our emotions. During this time of introspection, reading can also be nurturing.
♊️ MOON SEXTILE ♌️ VENUS (10º) 2:00 AM PT
The moon makes a supportive angle to Venus overnight. If we’re up late on Friday, we can easily find pleasure and loving connection. This transit can bring sweet dreams and ideas about money or beauty into our awareness as well.
♊️ MOON SEXTILE ♈️ CHIRON (15º) NOON PT
Saturday afternoon brings a healing connection between the moon and Chiron. We can understand our pain in a new light if we’re willing to get curious about our wounds. In this space of surrender, we can let go of trauma just by thinking or talking about it.
♊️ MOON TRINE ♒️ SATURN rx (21º) MIDNIGHT PT
We can easily understand the lessons we’ve been learning in this phase as the moon harmonizes with Saturn overnight. This flowing connection allows us to act with maturity and see why everything has played out the way it has. With Saturn currently retrograde, there’s an element of review and reflection that comes along with this transit.
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
Who’s ready to juggle? Mars enters Gemini early Saturday morning for an extended stay. The planet of action and aggression will be in the sign of the twins until March of 2023 (thanks to an end-of-the-year retrograde.) Over the next seven months, expect to start a variety of projects and feel your motivations pulled in many directions. This is a fantastic time to try new things and learn new information, but we aren’t as willing to commit or see things through to completion. The moon is also in Gemini, making supportive connections throughout the day. An overnight sextile to Venus brought sweet dreams or made it easy to attract love. Another sextile to Chiron mid-day allows for healing moments if we’re willing to get curious about our wounds. Talking through emotions is especially powerful now. We end the day with a flowing trine between the moon and Saturn, making us feel more responsible and mature. We can understand the lessons we’re learning more easily now.
