Mars in Gemini

24 March 1942, 22:30, Memphis, TN, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Aretha as “you”.

Mars is a planet of physical energy and action. It rules the Aries sign and traditionally (before Pluto was discovered) also Scorpio. Mars is also one of the personal planets, because on average it stays in one sign for less than 2 months and therefore has an important influence on our personality.

In personal horoscope, Mars is connected to action, energy, competitiveness, hot-bloodedness and impetuousness. The position of Mars tells us in what way and in what form you express your activity. Mars also indicates your ambitions and the work you do, which is connected to these ambitions.

Mars in Gemini

You are a vital, youthful, fast, dynamic and agile person. You are always in motion and are hard to catch. You have an irritable and restless nature, you love debates and arguments that go on and on, persuading others and getting up people's noses. You are always on the lookout, you rarely feel completely relaxed. You are successful in fast and dynamic professions, you have good reflexes, sense of rhythm and you probably do well in traffic. However, you need to control your thoughtfulness and absence of action, because you can't finish and carry out everything you want because you are extremely interested in numerous areas.

Mars in 7th house

In personal relationships, you are usually rather nonconformist and often even quarrelsome; you are basically looking for a partner that is at your level (but because such Mars position is actually often rather problematic when it comes to relationships, you are often found in the midst of tumultuous and temperamental love or/and partner relationship). In this sense, you actually have a pretty difficult character and are also attracted to a partner with such character. You are a dominant person, but you don't stand others being henpecked, so a relationship with you is (at least) interesting.

Mars conjunction Jupiter

You have incredible energy, inner strength and high physical performance. You are extremely flexible, dynamic and active, you like movement and travelling (although perhaps not long distance travelling), you are audacious and adventurous. You are interested in sports, often also involved in them and can even achieve good results. You are combative and competitive, but also of noble and honorary spirit. You have a passionate and impulsive character and also big appetites in all areas.

Mars inconjunct Ascendant

You are often in a sort of conflict with yourself and this often originates from a pattern from your early period of life, when you perhaps felt that you need to especially prove and validate yourself, because you perhaps lacked attention and validation or thought you weren't appreciated enough. So you can either engage in all possible areas to find confirmation or you withdraw to inactivity and laziness, if you give up because of disappointment.
