Fighting for Answers, Mars Retrograde 2022

The Gemini Mars is the warrior who wants answers. On October 30, 2022, Mars gets help from Vesta working in the archives (3rd house). This moment has substantial energy around secrecy and power. Scorpio secrets are too widely known and cannot be defended in the network (11th house). Scorpio Mercury, Sun and Venus are in the 11th but the Ascendant is at 0° Sagittarius (30° Scorpio). Sagittarius is the effect of the quest. Seeking answers to the question. Retrograde Jupiter, ruling Sagittarius, is supportive and asking questions about the past.

The Capricorn Pluto lies in the 2nd. Ceres, the ruler of the 2nd, is within the 9th house conjunct the midheaven. She is on Jupiter’s side of the midheaven and will publicly reveal detailed government and business secrets.

Accusations are one means of Mars attack and he is present in the lower courthouses where people confront each other to tell their stories and deal with their conflicts. At 25° Gemini, Mars is on the attack as a “gardener trimming large palm trees.” The effect of this attack is the retrograde 13° Aries Chiron whose Sabian symbol “an unexploded bomb reveals an unsuccessful social protest.” Hard to not see the brewing Twitter-Musk feud and Justice Department-Trump raid as being the fodder for these wordy attacks that ultimately lead to court cases that end up looking like a wounded social protest that results in an unexploded bomb. The revelation of the dud bomb is part of the revelation of secrets. Those court cases appear to be going no where.

The 11th house secrets also relate to income. Twitter’s balance sheet, and possibly other companies, have some hidden secrets about their income and the network, both 11th house. This isn’t going to be kept secret either. The retrograde Taurus Uranus stands ready to drop these bolts from the blue once again shaking people’s wealth and possessions. The result of these bolts, the Taurus north node, consume individuals possessions and the creation of more debt and debt is the mechanism that creates money. Since inflation is ultimately the effect of the expansion in money supply lowering the value of the money in your pocket, this also points to more inflation.

The Gemini Mars can be parochial attacks, accusations, nasty gossip that harms others reputations, name calling and essentially the aggression you see on a schoolyard playground. Childishness. Lemons. Gemini is also commerce and can grant us the energy to start new small commercial ventures. Seeking the answer means turning these lemons into lemonade at your own stand. Keep your chin up and don’t let the pettiness and childishness of those around you get you down. This is going to be a long seven months with the Gemini Mars.
