This will be an extremely high energy summer! Mars is joining Jupiter, and to give them an extra boost, they will both be in the dynamic sign of Gemini. This powerful conjunction dominates throughout summer and into early fall.
Since Mars has a two-year orbit and Jupiter’s orbit is twelve years, they only join each other once in a little over every two years. This time they are joining while transiting through Gemini, which will make them edgy, to say the least. Mars will be joining Jupiter from July 30th until September 5th. They will conjunct exactly on August 14th. If you get up before dawn and look above the eastern horizon, you will see them both. Yes, it’s worth getting up a bit early.
Mars, Jupiter and Gemini are all fast, and when they are together, it’s super lively or even a bit crazy. Jupiter loves to travel, try new adventures, take classes and write. Mars will give Jupiter extra energy to do daring and thrilling journeys.
Putting Gemini in the mix will make things more fun and a bit mental. Gemini is the author, so if you are in the mood for writing or publishing, this is your time. Your mind will be going 100 miles per hour and will need a project to accomplish so you won’t spin out.
AI or Artificial Intelligence is just now cropping up in different platforms. Google has recently launched its aptly named AI program -- Gemini. AI will become commonly used in the near future, and Mars and Jupiter in Gemini is a fantastic time to launch this modern technology to the world. AI could be more important than computers, cell phones or the internet. I know that sounds crazy, but it’s true. The future is here.
Luckily, there is another planet involved who will help control Mars and Jupiter. Saturn is the taskmaster and is square to both Mars and Jupiter when they conjunct each other. Saturn won’t stand for much silliness from these teenagers with attitude. This could show up in the world with conflicts between conservatives and liberals. It’s a fight for ideology. Who is right? Both? Neither?
Let’s add a Mercury retrograde to the mix to see what that will do. Mercury will be retrograde from August 5th – 28th. This could bring confusion or misunderstanding to this already volatile summer.
The Summer Olympics will occur from July 26th until August 11th. Mars is associated with sports and Jupiter is international, so this conjunction is perfect for this much anticipated competition.
The challenging side of Mars, Jupiter and Gemini is extreme mental restlessness. If you are prone to having temper or anger issues, you will need to count to ten before you react. Breathe. People will be having heated discussions while trying to convince others to change their minds.
This, of course, is when the US political conventions are happening. The Republican Convention is from July 15th – 18th. The Democratic Convention is from August 19th – 22nd. Thanks to Mars and Jupiter, we will see bickering and intense situations happening. Make some popcorn because it’s going to be juicy.
The other interesting thing with this duo is that once Mars moves past Jupiter, then Jupiter turns retrograde from October 9th until February 2, 2025. Does Mars stimulate Jupiter so he can make significant changes in the world? A long Jupiter retrograde right after a powerful Mars conjunction just has to be a rethinking of the future.
All of this is in preparation for Uranus entering Gemini in July 2025, where he will remain until June 2033! I’ll be writing an article about Uranus in Gemini as that time gets closer. This is a huge change in consciousness for humanity that will enhance the independence brought by Pluto in Aquarius and strengthen the hold AI will have on us.
We will see major shifts in consciousness occurring in the next couple of years, which will change the world. This Mars Jupiter conjunction is just the beginning. Everyone will be thinking differently --- more independently and with a stronger voice. It will be an excellent time in history. We just need to get through these intense couple of years to enjoy it.
Yes, we are entering the Aquarian Age, folks. We all wanted to be here to experience it, so here we go!
P.S. As I take this newsletter to press, it seems that Mars has already started his summer with the shooting at Trump's rally in Pennsylvania. Mars was exactly conjunct Uranus as that happened. Mars is now heading towards Jupiter.
