This week brings one of 2022’s astrological highlights – the arrival of Mars in Gemini. While
in of itself, this is a regular feature of Mars’ biennial schedule. What makes this occasion
different is that instead of its regular six-ish week visit to Mercury’s home, Mars will spend
the next seven months in Gemini! That’s right, what is likely to begin this week will see it’s
conclusion in March 2023.
Mars is the archetypal solider who needs a job to do, to get in the trenches and get things
done. In Gemini, Mars’ energy turns from tangible tasks to warring about details, collecting
data points and battling a multiplicity of ideas.
The war on your mind, energy and attention is likely to ramp up on the collective stage.
Some of which you’ll need to know, some is good to know and some is designed to occupy
rent-free space in your mind. As Mars plods through Taurus until Saturday, spend the
majority of this week recalibrating your priorities. Select the areas of life that are most
important to you, set goals in that area and focus. Distractions will be inevitable, but be
mindful of mistaking activity for achievement. Where do you need to cultivate your
attention so your future self will thank you?
