Mars Retrograde in Gemini 2022-2023 with Taylor Ursula (@thatssopisces)

Nectar of the Heart Podcast

In this episode Taylor Ursula (@thatssopisces) and I discuss the upcoming Mars retrograde in Gemini - one of the largest astrological themes for these few remaining months of the year. Taylor works with astrology, tarot & hypnosis and brought all 3 of those gifts to this episode. We started out with a Mars hypnosis/meditation centered around safety/protection and alchemizing change, we then got nerdy about all the astrology happening and how it fits into our personal lives and the collective, and we finished the episode with some tarot card pulls for all the rising signs. In true Gemini fashion we went all over the place and discussed so many topics, but it all has a similar thread running through it – curiosity & doing things in new ways.

Topics discussed:

• “Fixed Summer” aka this summer’s tension in the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio)
• Mars retrograde and how it fits into the larger story of 2022-2023
• Following the call of curiosity, even while having resistance to change
• Working with the generative side of Mars
• Mars-Neptune and their anti-capitalist vibe + tips/tricks to work with their energy
• Progressed Mars compared to Natal & Transiting Mars
• Mars being retrograde in a Mercury sign and what that might mean
• Upcoming eclipses in this Scorpio season, ruled by this slow Mars
• Venus’s retrograde in Gemini from the early era of the pandemic
• The “Great Conjunction” of Saturn-Jupiter (Dec 2020) and how we’re still in the new moon-crescent phase of their cycle
• Major shifts in 2023: Saturn into Pisces, Pluto into Aquarius, Jupiter into Taurus
