Mars in Gemini (General) 

When Mars is in Gemini, people are generally sharper, more critical, and can often have more than the usual disagreements with friends, relatives, and neighbors. Since Gemini is ruled by Mercury which is associated with our thinking processes and how we communicate, Mars in Gemini can manifest as harsh exchanges of words. Rather than physical confrontations, people use their words as their weapons (this applies to the written word as well). 

Mars is all about energy and drive and in the mutable sign of the twins, all that energy can manifest as unfocused and scattered which can make many folks frustrated and angry.  People generally become more easily bored than usual and need to have constant change and excitement to keep up their energy. Without anything to pour their energy, drive and strength into they can become physically exhausted from boredom. However, when they have many things to do and which will hold their interest and attention they will have an abundance of power and energy.  

How Mars in Gemini Affect You

A planet, such as Mars, describes a specific type of energy. In the case of Mars it is the energy of action. The sign that it occupies indicates how that energy manifests. Mars, the energy of action, in Gemini will manifest as aggressively stubborn  restless and indecisive.  Finally the house that the planet transits will determine where this energy will manifest in your life. 

In order to determine the house that Mars in Gemini is transiting you look at your birth chart and determine what house aligns with Taurus. For example. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Gemini is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Gemini is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Gemini is your 1st House. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Gemini is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Gemini is your 11th House. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Gemini is your 10th House. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Gemini is your 9th House. 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Gemini is your 8th House. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Gemini is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Gemini is your 6th House. 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Gemini is your 5th House. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Gemini is your 4th House. 

Example 

Mars + Gemini + 8th House 

With Mars (I act) in Gemini (I think) in the 8th house of sexuality and transformation you can feel sexually frustrated. You may feel the need for more sexual attention than usual, or a stronger desire to be more adventurous and if someone cannot or will not give you their complete sexual devotion you will likely move on to another partner or lover. 

Mars in the 8th house increases your sexual prowess and gives you an enormous sexual appeal so there should be no shortage of people who are attracted to you. The influence of Gemini can make you more of a selfish lover,  resulting in arguments of a verbal nature and you won't likely hold back your words preferring to hurt your lover with your words. It is important during such a transit that you make sure that you, listen to your partner and give as much pleasure as you receive. 

Working the Root: If you have a sexual partner who can keep up with you during this transit all the better and, if not, this might be a good transit to attract a lover or series of lovers to feed your sexual appetite.  This can be accomplished by marking a red candle with your wish and dressing it with Mars Oil alone or with another condition oil such as Kiss Me Now or Lavender Love Drops (depending on what you wish to attract) Place the candle on top of your specific wish written on a piece of paper. This could be as simple as a description of the type of lover you wish to draw to you.  

If you find this transit to be a bit too much, you can try some spell craft to mitigate these energies. Begin by cutting a piece of paper into a triangle and writing your wish on the paper. Place the paper on your altar right side up. On the lower left corner place a red candle dressed with Mars Oil, on the lower right corner place a green candle dressed with Venus Oil. On the top corner place your own astral candle on which you have carved your own name and dressed with both Mars and Venus Oil. 

First light your own candle (this candle represents me), then the Mars candle (this candle represents Mars in me - stubborn, lusty, and aggressive) and finally light the Venus candle (this candle represents Venus in me --- the qualities of harmony, ease and patience which I call to bring balance to Mars in me). Finally end with "I release these words to the Supreme Power that provides all good things and it is so. Amen."
