Your Weekly Horoscope for July 14: Brains Over Brawn.

We often reduce strength as a muscly, physical manifestation. Neglecting the power of mental strength is a silly mistake. Concentrated willpower and focus are the common denominators of all influential individuals and leaders. On July 20, assertive Mars enters cerebral Gemini. Mars transits tell us where we need to focus our energy. Vitality, passion, and individual needs are this planet’s concerns. 

Self-preservation of our beliefs, opinions, values, and mindset is of utmost priority during a Gemini Mars transit. In Gemini’s home, Mars is told to strategize and sit with their thoughts before acting. However, Mars can become restless. Irritation can lead to heated debates and pretentiousness. The urge to dominate the mind can lead to restrictive communication, where others feel they have to walk on eggshells. To maintain equilibrium, hold space for various perspectives.

MANTRA

YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE

ARIES 

Your planetary ruler, Mars, enters Gemini. As the planet of aggression, willpower, and determination makes moves, this week is action-packed. Seeing situations from multiple perspectives brings you an open minded approach. While this can be refreshing, it can also spell confusion. Indecision is not the absence of options, but the inability to commit to one approach. Aries, take your time to consider and plan. However, don’t get stuck. Filter out the noise and channel your vision to what matters most. Taking every opportunity thrown your way will throw you off balance.

TAURUS

Mars enters Gemini, into your material resource sector. This can bring you a lot of financial restlessness, and eagerness to spend and invest. However, it’s best to hold your horses. Remember to stay within your budget. Strategize for long-term financial savings or growth. Putting yourself in a tricky situation by being impulsive isn’t worth your mental peace. However, this transit may be the motivating factor you need to advocate for yourself. In the workplace, don’t be afraid to create boundaries and expectations of respect. In your personal life, don’t allow yourself to feel less than you’re worth.

GEMINI

It’s the season to cut circumstances out that no longer make sense. This week, proactive Mars enters your sign. Your life path sector is up for evaluation. The planet of self-preservation is here to ensure that you’re taking care of the center of your Universe: yourself. Inspiration arises. Solutions become clear. The indecision fades away. Listen to your instincts, as your body will sense the truth before your mind does. As you charge towards your desires, honor your individuality. You are different from everyone in some ways. Honor that uniqueness, rather than trying to conform or fit in.

CANCER 

Listen to your spirit, Cancer. If something feels off, trust it. Otherwise, Mars entering your spirituality sector may shake things up to get your attention. Listen to omens. Your sleep may feel dysregulated. Restlessness falling asleep or tossing and turning are not uncommon. Your unconscious mind will be eager to speak out. Trust that dreams hold deeper meaning, even the most nightmarish, positive, or abstract ones. When you link your consciousness to your subconscious, real shifts occur. 

LEO 

Gear up for a shift in perspective. This week, Mars makes moves. As the planet of aggression, determination, and willpower enters cerebral Gemini, social shifts occur. Your friendships and other platonic connections may be tested. Can you hold space for your truth and theirs at the same time? Or will a difference of opinions lead to burnt bridges? A supportive hype man, or team, loudly encourages you to charge towards what you want. If you are so lucky, be sure to listen to your advocates. Boundaries, discipline, and inspiration are all you need to reach your goals.

VIRGO

You don’t have to take it. If something is bothering you in your professional life, don’t settle or blend in. Proactive Mars enters Gemini this week. This makes it nearly impossible not to speak your truth. Whether you wait to speak your mind beforehand or wait for a slip of the tongue, is up to your discretion. Your work-life sector is hit. It’s time to find inspiration in your craft and skills in a new way. Don’t be afraid to take up space. Ask for what you need. Seek the experiences you want to grow. Submit your resume. Miracles can unfold when you believe in yourself and your practical skills.

LIBRA 

Mars enters Gemini this week. The planet of assertion charges into your philosophical and travel sector. The urge to get out of your comfort zone will be undeniable. Should you remain in the same mundane routines or habits, you’ll find yourself irritable. It’s best to prioritize your freedom and expansion. Challenge your mind to take in new topics of interest, lifestyle considerations, or beliefs. Explore options or opinions beyond your culture. There’s a world out there of possibilities. When you limit yourself, whether by environment or outlook, growth cannot occur. Break free. Rediscover who you are.

SCORPIO 

The urge to hold a tight, death grip on matters beyond your control is highlighted this week. Warrior Mars enters Gemini. Your traditional planetary ruler has shifts in store. In the act of surrender, true intimacy can arise. When we stop trying to insert our will, the more we get the chance to bond. There’s not a lot of room for love when power games are at play. Listen to the wisdom of anger, frustration, or tension, as it may point to where boundaries are needed. Limits don’t prevent connection, they allow it to be healthily sustainable and enduring.

SAGITTARIUS 

Gemini Mars rams into your relationship sector this week. You’re looking for more, more, more in your connections. You’re feeling intense, focused, and determined. While this ambitious energy can motivate growth with loved ones, be mindful. Charging full speed again doesn’t bring sustainable results. It also can throw those around you off, creating an uneasy vibe. On the positive side, you may set much-needed boundaries, let out authentic truths, or find your spark in interpersonal life. Much stress can arise though if you lean into stubbornness, impatience, or ruthlessness. 

CAPRICORN

If you’ve been going through the motions, prepare to be shaken up. Gemini Mars rushes into your daily life sector. Intellectual stimulation provides excitement. Passionate goals reinvigorate your spirit. If there has been a bad habit you’ve been looking to kick, now is the time. Your motivation is stronger than any practical adversity. Exercise, eating well, and other mundane health-related tasks are sparked with novelty. As you find the drive to dial in, mastering your craft comes easily. Professional endeavors can be rewarding, especially if you take charge.

AQUARIUS

Everyone wants love. Whether we admit it or not is another thing. Your romantic sector is heated up upon Gemini Mars’ grand entrance. While Mars is passionate, the planet of war can also be impatient for swift results. For new love birds, take the time to get to know your crush. In established relationships, don’t be too quick to condemn your partner for taking their time to learn a lesson. The positive outcomes of this transit grant you a clear understanding of lovers’ intentions, needs, and desires. On the flip side, it’s important to know change doesn’t happen overnight. 

PISCES

In the healing world, we often neglect the power of anger. When we are angry, our body is telling us that a boundary has been crossed. It is a sacred thing. When we deny ourselves of frustration, we find ourselves wallowing in despair. This week, Gemini Mars heats up your personal life. Your true inner psychological state is revealed. You cannot deny the irritation, annoyance, hurt, or anger you feel any longer. Let it out constructively. When you let yourself healthily blow steam, you can truly heal and move forward.
