Mars is the closest planet to Earth that is further away from the Sun, representing the first point of departure from the inner solar system. Mars’s cycles are rough and irregular, further off the ecliptic, jagged in his recurring geometry as his scarred red face crosses the sky. Accordingly, Mars is the planet of action, courage, conflict, passion, separations, divisions. The condition of Mars at the time of our birth says something about how we fight for what we want, our competitive spirit, our propensity for bravery, our experience with danger and risk.
Mars in Gemini is in a mutable air sign and takes on the qualities of its ruler Mercury. This is someone whose strength is in their speed and skill, with their hands and with their words. Their weapons are trickery, confusion, misdirection, disorientation, dividing and conquering. They may be good at martial arts, boxing, tennis, successful in sports that reward speed and skill. With Mars in Gemini, this is someone who is provoked to action by insults, curiosity and contests.
This is especially true if you were born with Aries, Gemini or Scorpio rising. Whether you experience the better or worse significations of this position depends on whether you were born during the day or at night, and the kind of aspects it makes with the other planets.
