Mars is in Gemini for 7 months thanks to its retrograde cycle, which happens about every 2 years. After all that "slowing down" and "being patient" thanks to the north node in Taurus, it's now time to get busy. Integrating the lessons of Taurus and striving to move at a measurable and consistent pace now, we war with an impulse to jump around and get distracted. Mars means choice, but Gemini struggles to make up its mind with so much available information. All air signs receive a considerable boost in morale and the wherewithal to achieve a great deal in a short amount of time. Retrograde begins October 30 and lasts until January 12 before exiting Gemini by March 25, 2023. This is a forecast for all 12 signs.
