What Mars in Gemini means for you

With Mars in Gemini, your drive goes into thinking and talking.

You get what you want by speaking, writing, negotiating and outsmarting people. A good argument gives you more drive than coffee. You can sell an idea before others have opened their slides.

Your drive is spread across many things: several projects, many interests and a phone full of half-written plans. Under stress, you become nervous and your words get sharp. Sarcasm becomes your favourite weapon. Movement helps you, such as walking while you think or walking around during a call.

Love

Your attraction starts with playful conversation. You love flirting with words, teasing and quick replies. You need a partner who can keep up with your thinking and does not mind a lively debate. Boredom is your enemy. In arguments, you can become clever instead of kind. Choose the honest sentence over the one that wins.

Work & money

You do well in fast, varied work: journalism, sales, media, negotiation, teaching and any job that rewards quick thinking. You are excellent at meeting people and convincing them. Concentration is your challenge. Divide goals into short periods of work. Finish one before you start the next. Keep a single list, so that your many ideas do not become many unfinished jobs.
