Mars in Gemini (retrograde)

A stream of consciousness poem for Mars in Gemini as he transits this sign for the next 7+ months. A Mercurial Mars is finding itself through curiosity, play, and an innate tenacity to reflect on “the why.” Channeling this poem felt like dancing a tango and the tropic of belonging coming through was quite surprising.

Mars in Gemini is blue flames of fire. Mars Retrograde here symbolizes the warrior within who sits with their own duality, their conflicting feelings, thoughts, and impulses and finds peace there.

The dates during the Mars retrograde (Rx) that I find of the utmost importance for integration and offerings are:

December 7th, Mars Rx will conjoin the moon dispersing a dose of iron to fortify all that we have gathered and learned. On December 8th, Mars Rx will be at it’s most visible and closest to Earth. What shall we offer Mars in return?

Where is Gemini in your chart? Are you a natal Mars in Gemini? What are your feelings around this transit?
