Mars's Retrograde Through the Gemini Zodiac
Overview
Mars in Gemini thrives on quick thinking, sharp wit, and multi-tasking action. It fuels mental agility, a desire to explore multiple options, and a restless need to communicate and connect. But when Mars turns retrograde here, that forward momentum gets tangled. Words may come out sharper than intended, motivation feels scattered, and actions get stalled by second-guessing or conflicting information. This is a time when mental energy turns inward, prompting you to rethink how you act on your ideas and whether your energy is spread too thin.
