Mars rules our drive, and ambition because of its warrior-like nature, it has no problem taking the lead and dominating when necessary. It does not hold back or even second-guess what needs to be done, but the one thing it does lack at times is the ideas to pursue, instead of often waiting for the situation to arrive on its doorstep. RELATED: Each Zodiac Sign’s Monthly Horoscope For August 2022 All of that changes this week though as Mars moves into Gemini bringing together both lucky ideas and the dedicated action to make them a reality. This is coming in at a perfect time as last week held powerful energy to help you release the old, seize your own independence, and remember what joy truly feels like. Now you are in the place to make it all happen.

The most important thing to remember this week is that it does not matter what has happened before, what has not worked out, or even what challenges previously existed. To Mars, all that exists is this moment and within it, anything becomes possible. Vesta, the asteroid that governs your inner drive and sparks, shifts into Aquarius this week as part of her retrograde intensifying that theme of individuality for the greater good.
