As an astrologer, there is this bias I run into that astrology is a load of malarkey and not accurate. As you will read below, with Mars in Gemini for the next seven months, it is fitting that I explain why astrology is reliable.
Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity explains that we were all connected by a plasma of quantum energy. Every physical piece of this planet is connected to the moment our galaxy was created. Each of those atoms and molecules hold memory.
Carl Jung called that memory the collective unconscious. He believed that we collectively associate different symbols, images, colours, etc. to similar things, dependent, of course, on our various lineages. These meanings change over time, but they are part of a large pool of memories we all tap into when we sleep, imagine or create.
So, if we have collectively placed meaning on a constellation, why wouldn’t its position relative to us on earth impact us?
Mars entered Gemini on Aug. 20. Normally, Mars spends just a little under two months in a sign. This year, however, Mars will be moving in retrograde, which happens approximately every 26 months. What this means is it will move forward into Gemini, then move backwards through the constellation. This results in a lengthier than usual amount of time spent in a zodiac sign. April Elliot Kent describes this energy as, “…the young girl who is texting while driving, putting on her makeup and giggling with the five other girls she’s crammed into her Volkswagen Beetle.”
When Mars is in Gemini it creates a lot of curious, erratic, social, and often humorous energy. This energy can also stir up lots of gossip, scandal and misinformation if it’s not well balanced. It also ignites our capacity to compromise, collaborate and relate to others.
So, as we welcome in this zappy energy at the Autumn Equinox on Sept. 22, here are some words of wisdom based on your sun and rising signs and a playlist to get you in the right mood for Mars in Gemini.
