Mars in Gemini

Mars in Gemini fights with words and works in bursts. Drive is scattered across several fronts; energy is nervous, quick and easily bored. Anger is verbal and sharp. This is the placement of the debater, the multitasker and the person who does three things at once, none for long. The work is to finish one, and to let the body have some of the energy the mind uses up.

In plain words

Mars stands for your drive and your temper. In Gemini, that works in a Gemini way: curious, chatty and restless. You want to know a little about everything and talk it through.
