Transiting Mars, the God of War, the planet of action, passion, sex, courage and boundary setting has been in the sign of Taurus since July 5, 2022. In that time we had the opportunity to slow down and stabilize what we began while Mars previously was in Aries. However, the cycles of astrological energy are always in motion and August 20th, Mars will enter into the sign of Gemini, activating, shifting and increasing possibilities. In general, things will begin to move faster, information will flow, changes will blow into your life and the need for increased communication, flexibility and an open mind is called for.

On July 5, 2022 Mars moves into the sign of Taurus until August 20, 2022. In the sign of Aries since May 24, 2022, Mars has lit a fire under us to release fears, find our courage, set healthy boundaries and take action in the ways that matter to each of us.
When in Taurus the quick drive and passion of Aries subsides into a slow burn, stabilizing what began in Aries and laying the groundwork for turning most important and recent efforts into something that is lasting.
Wherever Mars is moving in your birthchart is an area of life that you are pulled to activate.
Mars Retrograde - September 9, 2020 to November 13, 2020
I previously wrote about the transit of Mars in Aries which included the retrograde period but there is some more important information about this retrograde I would like to share. When Mars, the planet of boundary setting, action, passion and courage goes retrograde the normal outward moving action of Mars is slowed down, turned inward and can provide like all retrogrades a time when reflection and insights are possible. It is a time to plan more, figure out what you truly desire, in any facet of your life, and also look at how you use your drive, passion and will. How you react or respond under stress, exert personal power and set boundaries. Similar to Mercury retrograde it is not a time to start new projects, make large purchases or begin or end relationships if possible. Additionally with Mars retrograde it’s advised to not push yourself too hard physically or take on new physical challenges. There are times when you have to follow through on things that may have been set up previously. In that case use your will and take actions with real awareness and care, especially if things seem stuck or challenging so that you have the best outcome.
