Support arrives in the most unexpected ways today.
Mars, the planet of energy, enters Gemini on August 20, where it will stay until March of next year due to a retrograde period. You may be rethinking your career–is this path truly fulfilling?

Either way, your retrograde story is beginning to unfold, and you’re putting more of your energy and time into considering the long-term plan for the work you do in this world.
