Gemini – Mars in Taurus Horoscope

As Mars enters Taurus, the sandman will be working overtime to weigh down your screen-weary eyelids. Even the restless mind of a Gemini must occasionally go dark. When it comes to your sleep and private time, you may feel a sudden burst of paradoxical energy, but you, of all signs, can hold these two thoughts at once.

In fact, you can use Mars’ raw energy to run your tightest bedtime ship yet, addressing any slumber-leaks and preempting the habits that derail your shuteye. Coffee after 4pm? TikToking under the covers? You know what needs to be course-corrected. And now’s the time to do it.

That said, when Mars and Uranus clash on August 1st, the sheep that you’re counting will likely go on strike. If sleep is elusive, or your nervous system is a bit more difficult to calm, be patient and wait for the turbulence to pass. Read a book, sip some chamomile tea, or put your thoughts to paper. A watched pot — well, you know the drill.

You may also find this week that your need for privacy reaches a fever pitch. Hang up a do not disturb sign. Set a bedtime alarm on your phone. Surrender to your desire to switch the light off on the outer world. As you swing the hermit’s lantern through your psyche’s catacombs, know that there’s endless treasure to uncover there. Get as curious about your inner world as the one outside.
