Weekly Horoscope

MARS IN GEMINI

Mars enters Gemini on August 20th, turning up the heat on any low-burning disagreement, smoldering rivalry, or forgotten feud. You may think that you get along with everyone you meet, but Mars in the turnabout sign of the Twins will quickly disabuse you of that notion – especially when tensions flare up with loved ones and friends. And this will be more than just a case of people being oversensitive – you’re going to hear a lot about past slights and repressed resentments. This is why you’ll want to handle tempers gingerly and choose your words carefully because anything you say will be taken out of context and used against you. It may prove so bewildering at times that you could swear you’ve been transported to some Mirror Universe where people look the same but act totally opposite. And that might not be the worst way of approaching situations until you get a fuller grasp of what’s going on. Due to its retrograde, Mars will be in Gemini until March 25, 2023. That means seven months of quibbles, squabbles, and squawks.
