Mars in Gemini Archives - Lynn Hayes astrology readings and writings

The astrology of Andrew Huberman

As a health nut who borders on orthorexia (an obsession with healthy eating with associated restrictive behaviors) I am a big fan of podcasts about nutrition and health. I think I came to Andrew Huberman through the Rich Roll podcast and I’ve been fascinated by his take on the neurology of health and body dynamics.

I’m not alone – Huberman is all over the airwaves and especially on YouTube where you can find sound bites of his strategies and cartoons made from his now-famous morning routine. […]

Planetary news this week: A Mars-y Gemini Full Moon

Astrological update for the week of December 5-12, 2022

artist unknown?

I don’t know about you, but the past few weeks have felt very much like Mercury retrograde, with lots of glitches and communication breakdowns. There’s a reason for that: Mars is retrograde in Mercury-ruled Gemini. Because of this retrograde phase, Mars will have been in Gemini for seven months and you can read more about that here. In Gemini, Mars inspires quick and rapid-fire thinking and communication, and we often speak without considering the ramifications of what we […]

Planetary news this week: Eclipses and Scorpio dominate the energetic frequencies

Astrological update for the week of October 23 – November 2

(I will be traveling so next week’s report will be a few days late and is included in this one.)

Scorpio. The big news that will dominate the week is the infusion of Scorpio energies that are emerging right now. On Sunday the Sun and Venus both entered Scorpio, and just after midnight EDT on Tuesday the Moon enters Scorpio just before the solar eclipse at the Scorpio New Moon on October 25, 2022 at […]

Mars in Gemini: 2022-2023

art by Andrew Ferez

I wrote about Mars entering Gemini in last week’s update but this is a significant enough event that it deserves its own post. Mars entered Gemini on August 20, 2022 EDT and because of its retrograde cycle it will remain in Gemini until March 25, 2023. Mars is considered a malefic planet by astrologers in the various ancient traditions because of its connection with violence, but Mars is essential to physical and mental health as it inspires and motivates us to action. Mars helps us […]

Astrological news this week: Mars enters Gemini and the Uranus station

Astrological update for the week of August 15-22, 2022

artist unknown

What is the Uranus station? Every planet appears to travel retrograde at some time or another – the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are retrograde for about half the year. Saturn and Jupiter turn retrograde about once a year. Mars turns retrograde about every two years, Venus about every eighteen months, and Mercury about every three months. Obviously planets don’t really travel retrograde, but geocentric astrology observes the motion of the planets from Earth and we interpret the symbolism […]

4.5.21 – Supercharge your relationships with Venus and Mars!

art by Dolores Develde

A harmonious interaction between Venus in Aries and Mars in Gemini is building throughout the day today and will peak Tuesday morning. Venus, planet of harmony and relating, is in Aries right now where she is more dynamic and forceful, encouraging us to speak our truth and own our own attitudes. Aries is ruled by Mars, so the sextile from Venus in Aries to Mars is a double whammy of Martian energies! Although Venus and Mars are not natural allies – one is sweet […]

3.23.21 It could be another disruptive day when we must face difficult facts

art by Sam Brown

The challenging square between Mercury in Pisces and Mars in Gemini from yesterday’s post is at its peak today, so the potential for confusion and lack of clarity is likely to prevail. Efforts at productivity and effective communication are likely to be frustrated by a fog of illusion and distraction. In addition, the Leo Moon is very active and challenges both Uranus (disruption) and Saturn (reality check) to perhaps force some kind of confrontation which may be difficult, but which will result in greater […]

3.23.21. Confusing messages today with Mercury square Mars

art by Alex Tooth

Mercury, planet of the mind and communication, is in Pisces right now where it loves to dream and imagine expansive and lofty ideas, and where it acts more from feelings and intuition than facts. Today Mercury makes a challenging square aspect to Mars in Gemini which may generate a lot of excitement and motivation without a clear goal or direction. Mars in Gemini is so fascinated by so many things, and the hunger for learning is intense under that aspect; however, Gemini and Pisces are both mutable signs […]

3.3.21 The astrological meaning of Mars in Gemini 3/3-4/23/21

art by Patricia Ariel

Mars, planet of war, action, physical energy, drive and desire, helps us to set boundaries and defend and protect ourselves and others. Far from the “evildoer” malefic of traditional forms of astrology, the enthusiasm of Mars motivates us to accomplish our goals and attain our desires. While it’s true that Mars is connected to unpleasant things like war, blood, cuts, knives, Mars energy provides courage and is essential in achieving physical health. If Mars energy isn’t allowed full and healthy expression, it tends to create blocks […]

Update for the week of March 1-8, including Mars in Gemini

The planets are relatively quiet throughout the week, and actually for the entire month of March. This gives the lunar influences more of a voice, and I break it all down for you here. Mars leaves Taurus for Gemini, a big shift in the type of activation that’s available to us. Enjoy, and the transcript is below the video and promo stuff. ❤️
