What Mars does in a chart

Mars is the part of the chart that answers one question:How do I go after what I want? It describes drive and desire — not events, and not outcomes.

What Gemini does to it

Gemini is a air sign, so it moves on ideas and conversation. It is also mutable, which means it adapts things. Put those together with Mars and you get acts through words — curious, verbal, restless, applied specifically to drive and desire.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, so this placement tends to be coloured by thinking and talking as well.

The useful version

Placements are not verdicts. This one describes a default setting, not a limit — the things listed above are what you do when you are not thinking about it, which is exactly why noticing them is worth something.

Is your Mars actually in Gemini?

Mars moves at its own pace and does not follow your sun sign. The only way to know is to calculate the chart.
