Mars in Gemini

9 September 1960, 07:30, London, United Kingdom

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Hugh 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 9th house

You are a spontaneous, independent and dynamic person, always prepared for change and you also like to introduce changes. You probably enjoy travelling and you travel a lot, you certainly are connected to abroad. Because you are basically interested in everything and you also have an enormous amount of will and energy to fulfill your numerous goals, you are a person of exceptional strengths and talents. You are interested in all sorts of areas, but are mainly concerned with the truth and you often work in journalism, law, etc.

Mars as culminating planet

Because Mars is your culminating planet, you have a strong will and a lot of work energy and drive. You are a natural warrior and leader and although you are not always the most tactful person, people follow you because of your enthusiasm, life strength and energy, which you usually radiate. Whatever you do, you do with enthusiasm. You are often successful in politics, army, also sport. With your direct approach, competitiveness and combativeness, you get on people's nerves and often meet people who put a spoke in your wheel.

Mars opposition Jupiter

You have a lot of energy and enormous physical strength, which you don't always control well. You like exaggerating, you have strong emotions and reactions, you are passionate and often too dramatic. You have impetuous and explosive, eager and insatiable character. You expect and demand too much from yourself and others, but mostly you don't have the right and calm approach, so you are often in conflict with yourself and the outer world. You like speed, you are interested in sport and also danger, you are quickly drawn to paths which can prove to be thoughtless. Your inner dissatisfaction can originate from early life period, which perhaps wasn't the calmest and you also have this pattern later in life.

Mars sextile Uranus

You have a dynamic and flexible, sociable and playful nature and open spirit. You have fresh approaches and enough charm to awake interest and affection in other people. You are interested in novelties and technical things and often have a talent to work in these areas.

Mars square Ascendant

You are energetic and have enormous physical abilities, but you don't always organize them best and you either waste your energy or you don't have enough of it. You are extremely motivated, competitive and combative, also (self)destructive, that is why you are prone to injuries. If things aren't happening fast enough or as you imagine them to, you try to speed them up, sometimes with inconsideration and even violence, so your relationships with others aren't easy. These characteristics of yours can be the consequence of feeling unaccepted and of lacking attention in early period of life (and you perhaps feel that you always have to prove yourself).

You are usually an ambitious, decisive and firm person with clear goals; you know exactly what you want and you also always find a way to achieve it. You are determined and combative, usually nothing is too hard for you, you have no problem doing hard work and experiencing physical strains on the path towards reaching your goals. You don't feel good when things stand still, you don't like inactivity and laziness, you expect and demand a lot from others and from yourself. You often have leadership desires, ambitions and abilities and you try to be your own master, because you don't feel well in humble and/or subordinate role.
