Greetings,
The God of War, the planet of action aggression and conflict begins its seven month stay in the Sign of Communication and Confusion, Gemini. Ingrid and I were definitely confused during this recording, because after our rousing introduction to YouTube, we didn’t record video for this episode, even through we thought we did. We’re a two man band, reminiscent of the Twins, trying to do the job of twelve people. Thank you for your patience, and as Mercury enters its Retrograde Shadow this week, patience is a major theme moving forward, along with values, fun, and efficiency, which we are continually working on. Listen to the podcast through the link below...

SATURDAY, August 20
Mars in Gemini
What action are you taking to learn, to meet new people, to connect, coordinate, and communicate your thoughts?
This is the underlying theme for the next seven months as Mars begins an extended stay in Gemini.
Conversations are bound to get heated during this period.
A lot of ideas will be exchanged.
Disagreements will occur.
Do not assume that you have the answer.
The goal is to remain curious through it all.
Take action to introduce people in your life who do not know each other, but should.
Be a conduit, a connector, a listener, and a thinker.
Start the conversation with a question.
Listen.
Keep the conversation going with more questions.
Mars typically spends about six weeks in any given Sign.
The seven month stay in Gemini is due to the fact that Mars will retrograde during this period.
Learning the bullet points doesn’t mean to take a short-cut.
Do not rush the process, as rushing will create confusion, and confusion will cause you to redo what has already been done, or relearn what you already thought you knew.
Those born with key astrological points in Virgo and Sagittarius prepare for greater conflicts, challenges, and anger filled frustrations. This is not meant to bring you fear, but rather, bring the awareness of life’s challenges. Be patient and persistent through the difficulties and you will see yourself to the other side, stronger that you were before.
When:
This Time: August 20, 2022 - March 25, 2023
Last Time: March 3 - April 23, 2021
