Mars in Gemini forms a merging of Mars and Mercury energies, also present with Mars in Virgo. This favors many constructive pursuits. It is a great Mars for surgeons, dentists or those working with exact tools. Similarly, it is a great placement for engineers, architects or those dealing with computers.

Pride, Passion and Arrogance

Mars in Gemini favors the intellect, as well as the search for information. Natives with this placement take great pride in how much they know, and how much more they can learn.

A lot of times, natives with this placement are multi-talented, knowing many different skills from many different areas.

A doctor with this placement would know not only about medicine, but also a little bit about nutrition and exercise, as these other areas could influence the main issues of his job.

A fashion designer would dabble with multiple styles, clothes for women and men, rather than just focusing on one thing.

The key-point for this placement is variety, knowing many things, knowing varied subjects and applying the combination of all of that into your work.

Independence and Risk

These natives are not afraid of trying something new, if they feel that they can learn something, or if they find something about it interesting or curious. Taking a new course, learning an unusual subjects, learning new skills are all things that come naturally here.

Similarly, expressing themselves comes naturally, and they would seldom feel shame of presenting something they believe in.

Tools and Weapons

Information is the key tool for Mars in Gemini. A lot of natives with this placement go through books, texts and reports as if devouring a bag of potato chips. The vast and varied information they consume informs their decisions. They keep their ear to the ground and are able to come up with new, informed and interesting solutions to any problem.

Logic becomes a weapon here and, specially when angry, these natives are prone towards tearing down people and going on verbal rants of criticism. Very argumentative natives who love debating.

Anger and Aggression

A key word and issue for Gemini is always freedom. They crave freedom and hate restriction. So it figures that Mars in Gemini would be angered by any type of restriction or barrier to their intellectual exploration.

“don’t you think you should concentrate on X, rather than doing all these different things?” is a phrase that deeply angers Mars in Gemini. Trying many things, having variety, having contact with multiple people and information is a key thing for them.

Any type of restriction, or idea of control, would anger Mars in Gemini.

Sex and Men

Sexually, this placement promotes variety, so the natives are prone towards experimenting. A stable point for them, however, is a love for anything verbal. Whether it is compliments or offenses, hearing something during sex is very important. Verbal foreplay can go a long way with this placement.

Men with Mars in Gemini will tend to be known as accessible and relatable, as they are always willing to listen to new people and new information, always trying to find even more variety than they already have. Men with Mars in Gemini will also always have variety in their lives, sometimes to the shock or surprise of others.

Why does the fancy executive go to McDonald’s? Why did the serious drama actor decide to do a stupid silly comedy? Why does the comedy actor write serious drama? Variety, variety and variety are indicated with Mars in Gemini.

If you have Mars in Gemini, you tend to be attracted to men that are: communicative, youthful and/or childlike, well-read of informed, funny. Writers, journalists, programmers, actors or creative types.

Taurus is fixed and earthy, two qualities that tend to slow down things. So Mars in Taurus always shows a slower, calmer pace to the red planet. Usually, this placement indicates people that are very slow to act, taking a long time to get started and going. However, the bull moves at full speed once a decision has been made, and they act intensely when they finally start.

Pride, Passion and Arrogance

A big love for stability arises out of this placement. Having a stable and comfortable situation in life is key here, with all that it entails. Seeking a good home, stable job, a good financial situation and a similarly stable partner in life. Finding and maintaining a stable position in life are top priorities and prides of the native.

Independence and Risk

Read the portion above, about stability, and tell me yourself about risk. Does it match? It doesn’t.

This placement is very risk averse. A lot of times, these natives will simply do the easiest, closer and most comfortable path in life. The path of least resistance. This is not a placement for radicals or rebels.

It is the classical placement of the son who goes to work in the same field as his father. His old man has all the contacts, he can help him rise, why not? It is comfortable, stable and it seems to work. This is Mars in Taurus, seeking comfort at all costs, seldom venturing out into something risky.

Similarly, a lot of times, these natives will forego doing something that they enjoy or believe in if it is not easily profitable. For an artist, that would mean doing the easiest and most commercial works, rather than something more unique that would be a toss-up in popularity and sales. Again, taking no risks, always defending stability. Their outputs in the world always seek comfort, easy, stable so rarely they will do daring works. Always the least challenging and more accessible of things.

Tools and Weapons

Anything that is tried and true is favored by this placement. Consulting their elders is a must with this placement, similarly, seeing what worked for others. Some might read this description and think “but don’t we all do that?”, not necessarily, and following through is a different thing.

We (at least I) read what other people did, and we go editing. Won’t do this. Hate that. No way. Could do more of X instead. And it becomes mostly our own. Mars in Taurus will see how other people did something, and will do exactly by the book, every comma and dot, even the wrong ones. These are people that actually read manuals for their things. These are people who follow instructions.

Similarly, doing something “the way grandma did” or fixing something “the way my dad taught me” will frequently come up with this placement. Tried and true tools all the way.

When angered, their weapon tends to be a blow up, sheer force. Bull strength, if I may.

Anger and Aggression

These natives are deeply angered by people telling them to hurry, go faster or change. They are slow and steady all the way, so telling them to change, or to do things in a different pace always strikes a nerve.

Sex and Men

Sexually, this is a very lustful placement. A high sex drive and desire is here. And this is the one area of life where they are neither slow or controlled. These natives tend to be very possessive of their partners, territorial even.

Men with Mars in Taurus give off an earthy and calm vibe, like someone that you can trust, someone who is stable and on point. Similarly, they give off great sex appeal. On the more negative side, they will always seem slow, and usually they really are.

If you have Mars in Taurus, you tend to be attracted to men that are: earthy, calm, somewhat serious, quiet-shy types, family types, more conservative men. Executives, men in suits, rugged men, those that work with agriculture, down to earth and traditional.

Other points

• Very possessive and defensive of their things and partners.
• Slow to start, but very decisive when they get going.
• When solving problems, they are always slow. If you are faster, you will get impatient with them.
• Not one for caring about variety or originality, this placement is frequently seen in people that copy others. Whether that is cheating in their school work, following instructions, or even plagiarizing someone else’s work.
