What your star signs implies when Mars enters Gemini from now until January

Mars moves into the sign of Gemini on August 20 and stays there until next January, which is a super long transit as Mars goes into retrograde in October.

So this energy is here to stay for a while.

Mars depicts ambition and passion, and Gemini is energetic and clever.

The coming together of these planets signals a really special time to activate something wonderful in your life, a brainwave, a master stroke, a flash of genius.

Mars empowers our intellect with courage and confidence. We actually start to believe our ideas can be manifested, and we have faith in our imagination.

Imagination + action = anything is possible!

Ready to discover what incredible idea you could bring to life this Mars in Gemini season? Let the tarot give you a clue, with your star sign’s horoscope for this special time ahead.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries: The Hermit

Meaning: The Hermit is not a typical Aries card or vibe. It’s about solo, solitary pursuits, often research or intellectually challenging projects, which you do away from the world, in deep contemplation and thought.

What could it be? Are you thinking of writing a book or doing your family history or creating something?

You could achieve something marvellous, in your own time and space, just for you or even to sell to the world. Go create. Go invent something.
