Now, let’s move forward and explore how Mars turning direct in Gemini will affect all zodiac signs.

Aries

Mars is the ruler of your Ascendant (Lagna) and the Eighth House, and it will now be positioned in your Third House, which governs siblings and interests. Mars will turn direct in this house, leading to improvements in your communication skills and possible short trips. You will feel courageous and energetic, ready to tackle pending tasks that have been delayed for a long time.

However, conflicts with younger siblings, especially brothers, may arise. You might experience arguments and disputes, but they will still support you when needed. Mars will also influence your Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Houses. This period is favorable for students preparing for competitive exams, as enemies or competitors won’t be able to harm them. You will receive support from your father, teachers, or mentors, but you should be mindful of their health.

Remedy: To enhance Mars’ beneficial influence, wear a high-quality Red Coral (Lal Moonga) gemstone on the ring finger of your right hand.

Taurus

Mars is the ruler of your Seventh and Twelfth House and will now turn direct in your Second House, which represents speech, savings, and family. As a result, your speech may become harsh and prideful, which could strain relationships with family members. It is advisable to communicate gently and think before speaking to avoid conflicts.
Mars’ influence extends to your Fifth, Eighth, and Ninth Houses. You may become overprotective regarding your children, education, and love relationships, which might make your partner or children feel uncomfortable. Avoid being overly controlling in these matters.

Mars’ aspect on the Ninth House will bring support from your father, teachers, and mentors, but you should also be mindful of their health. Encourage them to go for regular check-ups to maintain their well-being.
Remedy: Offer red flowers to Goddess Durga for favorable results.

Gemini

Mars is the ruler of your Sixth and Twelfth House and will now turn direct in your Ascendant (Lagna House). During this period, your immune system will be strong, and you will feel energetic and confident. However, you may exhibit aggressiveness and arrogance, so staying mindful of your emotions is crucial. Fortunately, you will be able to control your feelings better during this phase.
Mars’ influence extends to your Fourth, Seventh, and Eighth Houses. Due to its aspect on the Fourth House, you will receive support from your mother, but concerns about her health may arise, making you overprotective toward her.

Mars’ aspect on the Eighth House indicates growth in your spouse’s joint assets, but it could also bring some instability in your life. Take care of your partner’s health and drive carefully while commuting.
Remedy: Chant Mars’ Beej Mantra regularly for better results.

Cancer

For Cancer natives, Mars is a Yogakaraka planet, but due to its retrograde motion, you were not experiencing its full benefits. Now, as Mars turns direct in your Twelfth House, which governs foreign lands, solitude, hospitals, and multinational companies, you may see unexpected and unwanted changes in your professional life. Since Mars rules both your Fifth and Tenth Houses, this planetary shift can influence your career significantly.
Typically, Mars in the Twelfth House is not considered highly favorable. However, if you have been planning to go abroad or switch jobs, this is an excellent period to do so. There is also a possibility of a transfer or a change in your role or position at work. Despite these opportunities, you might experience a decline in courage, strength, and patience during this period.

Remedy: Recite the Hanuman Chalisa seven times daily for protection and blessings.

Leo

For Leo natives, Mars is a Yogakaraka planet as it rules your Ninth (fortune, spirituality) and Fourth (home, comfort) Houses. Now, as Mars turns direct in your Eleventh House, which governs gains and ambitions, your desire for material success will intensify. This is a great period for financial growth, as you may earn profits from past investments or commissions. It is also an ideal time to plan long-term financial strategies. Additionally, you will receive support from your uncles and elder siblings.
Mars’ influence extends to your Second, Fifth, and Sixth Houses. The connection between the Eleventh and Second House indicates financial gains, increased savings, and possible salary increments.

Remedy: On Tuesdays, worship Lord Hanuman and donate sweets for favorable results.

Virgo

For Virgo natives, Mars rules your Third House (siblings, efforts) and Eighth House (secrets, transformations). Now, as Mars turns direct in your Tenth House (career, profession), this is an excellent sign for professional growth. Your focus and determination will increase, helping you advance in your career. You will feel highly energetic and motivated at work, which will be recognized by your seniors and superiors. They may even assign you additional responsibilities, and your popularity and respect in the workplace will grow.
Business owners will be driven to expand their ventures and increase profits. Mars’ influence also extends to your First (self), Fourth (home, mother), and Fifth (education, love, children) Houses.

Mars’ eighth aspect on the Fifth House could create challenges for students, making studies more difficult. Your romantic life may also face hurdles, and you might worry about your children’s well-being.
Remedy : On Tuesdays, install and worship a Mars Yantra for beneficial results.

Libra

For Libra natives, Mars governs your Second House (wealth, speech) and Seventh House (partnership, marriage). Now, as Mars turns direct in your Ninth House (fortune, father, guru, spirituality), this will bring major positive shifts in your life.
Single natives may have a strong chance of getting married or introducing their partner to their family. Your interest in religious and spiritual activities may increase. You might embark on a pilgrimage with your family or spouse or organize a spiritual ceremony like a havan or Satyanarayan puja at home.
Mars’ influence also extends to your Twelfth (expenses, foreign travel), Third (communication, efforts), and Fourth (home, mother) Houses. Expenses related to travel and medical issues may rise, especially those linked to foreign trips or hospital visits. The home environment may turn tense or negative due to Mars’ aspect on the Fourth House. Be mindful of your speech and temper to avoid unnecessary disputes.
Remedy: To enhance the positive effects of Mars, regularly seek the blessings of your father and guru to maintain harmony and attract positive energy.

Scorpio

Mars is the ruler of both the sixth and ascendant houses for Scorpio. Your ascendant lord is now going direct in your eighth house. The eighth house in a horoscope represents longevity, sudden events, and secrets. However, Mars going direct in Gemini may not be beneficial for you. The presence of Mars in the eighth house is considered inauspicious as it can bring uncertainty or instability in life.
Since the ascendant lord is positioned in the eighth house, you need to be particularly cautious about your health and while driving. The placement of the sixth house lord in the eighth house forms a Vipreet Raj Yoga. Due to this, your adversaries may try to harm you or create problems for you, but they will not succeed in their attempts.
Additionally, Mars, from the ninth house, is aspecting your second, third, and eleventh houses. Since Mars is casting its aspect on the eleventh house, this is a favorable period for earning money. You can expect good profits from any past investments. Mars directly influences the second house, which governs wealth, speech, and family. Be mindful while communicating with your family members, and choose your words carefully, as they may unknowingly hurt them.
When Mars is direct in Gemini, it will also aspect your third house, which may lead to disagreements or a communication gap with your younger sister.
Remedy: Wear a copper bracelet on your right hand.

Sagittarius

For Sagittarius natives, Mars rules the fifth and twelfth houses and is now going direct in your seventh house. The seventh house in a horoscope represents a spouse and business partners. When the ruler of the fifth house enters the seventh house, it is advised to consider transforming a romantic relationship into a marital one. Mars will now be direct in your seventh house. However, this period is not very favorable for married individuals. There is a possibility of disagreements between you and your partner due to their dominating and egotistical behavior, which might cause distress. You are also advised to take care of their health.
Additionally, Mars, from the seventh house, is aspecting your tenth, first (ascendant), and second houses. Due to Mars’ aspect on the tenth house, you may feel insecure about your career, but there is nothing to worry about. No negative event is actually occurring—these are just thoughts in your mind. However, this insecurity might make you appear arrogant or overly self-confident.
Furthermore, Mars’ ninth aspect on the second house may cause throat-related issues. A family member might face health concerns, or your spouse might experience an unexpected change in their life. You may also encounter financial ups and downs during this period.
Remedy: Offer sweets made of jaggery and peanuts at a temple.

Capricorn

For Capricorn natives, Mars governs the fourth and eleventh houses and will now be positioned in your sixth house as it goes direct in Gemini.

Your immunity will be strong, and you will enjoy good health. You will perform well in competitive situations, and your enemies or rivals will not be able to harm you.
However, you should avoid being fearless and reckless, as this could lead to unnecessary problems. Additionally, Mars from your sixth house is aspecting your ninth, twelfth, and first (ascendant) houses. Due to this, you need to be cautious regarding your father’s health. Changes in your workplace are possible, and you may have to travel long distances or even abroad for work-related matters. During this period, your expenses may increase.
These factors might make you more aggressive, argumentative, and arrogant, which could lead to people disliking you.
Remedy: Consume jaggery daily.
