Everybody, this is Adam Ellenbass from Nightlight Astrology. And this is another episode of Planets in Profile. So I'm catching up on a few of these episodes that have fallen behind on just at the tail end of Mars is transit through Gemini right now. I'm going to finally get on to talking about the meaning of Mars in Gemini. So that's the agenda for today's episode. Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and put a little PowerPoint up on the screen. And yeah, the idea behind this series in general, is to take a look at the movement of the planets through all of the 12 signs and give students of astrology some sense of the meaning of each planet in all of the 12 signs, how to read and interpret its meaning in a birth chart, and so forth. So with that being said, yesterday, I put up a video on Venus in Aries, which I had to catch up on almost tail end of Venus transit through Aries and now I'm catching up on Mars in Gemini so All right.

So what can we say about Mars in the sign of Gemini? Well, sign of the twins. I thought this image was perfect for Gemini. So I tried to find the funniest one that I could; this one really got me. Anyway, so Mars, traveling through any sign of the zodiac, as we've said in almost every Planets in Profile episode thus far, will be understood in terms of the planetary host that it has a relationship with. So, for example, Mars in Gemini is in the home of Mercury Hermes. Mercury, the Roman name, and Hermes, the Greek name. So Gemini is the masculine domicile of Mercury, feminine being Virgo. Gemini is a warm, moist air sign. It's masculine, and it's what we call a double-bodied or sometimes called mutable sign. So when Mars is in Gemini, it expresses itself in all of its natural significations, which we'll talk about in a moment, through the filter of these primary and secondary qualities of the sign, the primary quality in the way that I talked about the signs anyway, the primary quality being in relationship with Mercury. So it expresses itself in a mercurial manner in the secondary fashion. The secondary elements of the sign would be the warm, moist quality, the double body quality, the masculine quality, the airy quality.

But the first thing that you always need to know is whose sign is this and what kind of relationship does Mars have to Mercury? How do you blend the significations of Mars and Mercury to arrive at an interpretation? And, of course, the answer is that this is going to be different in every single chart based on the position of Mercury. The aspectual connection between Mars and Mercury in any given chart will matter a great deal. The essential dignity of Mercury, the House position of Mercury, whether Mercury's in evening or morning star or combust are invisible behind the Sun or cazimi. Any number of different conditions that Mercury might be expressing in the birth chart or in any kind of chart will be a part of the modification of the interpretation of Mars. And this is a big part of studying astrology; astrology is context-bound. So, for example, yesterday on Facebook, I saw someone post something that said something like, so if a planet is like in this state, and it's dignified like this, is that good or bad? And the question was just an attempt to use ancient language and theory to figure out if a planet was like good or bad, or strong or weak.

Most of the time, this kind of analysis is misguided. Because even though there are a variety of technical details that we need to take into consideration when reading a chart, the bottom line is that we're never searching for, is this planet strong or weak, or those kinds of considerations are usually only a sort of preliminary level of analysis, that's really leading us to say something concrete, or something valuable or worthwhile to whoever our client is, right? So when we say, for example, that Mars is well dignified, or Mars is poorly dignified, or something like that, because you have to take into consideration house placement aspects, testimonies from other planets, daytime or nighttime chart like all of these different factors, there's so much context that is built into analyzing a planet and at the end of the day, what we're really trying to say, what we're trying to do with that analysis, is to say something substantive about the life of a person, right? So just remember that for those of you who are out there, who study any form of traditional astrology, you know, the context of, for example, when studying Mars in Gemini, the context of Mercury in the chart, and its relationship to Mars, is not telling you Well, it's a good Mars, or it's a bad Mars. It's a weak Mars, or it's a strong Mars. It's trying to tell you something specific about a person about their life, about their behavior or attitude or their experiences. So that's ultimately what we're trying to do by using these analytical tools. Okay, so that's an aside.

Mars is going to express himself and his nature always. So what is the nature of Mars? It's going to be competition, aggression, warfare, violence, bravery, courage, assertiveness, action, cutting, severing, and dividing. So those are the basic, I mean, that's the gist of it. Mars is kind of your hunter, your ultimate sort of warrior archetype. And Mars has a feminine, and a masculine domicile can be more Yin or more Yang. Mars in Gemini is in a masculine sign. So you're gonna get more of an expressive energy of energy that sort of moves from the center outward. You're going to get it; it's warm and moist, which means it's very fertile. It has the ability to be prolific or to produce or create things that are fruitful, that multiply. Air signs are like that. It also has the tendency to be very social Air signs are very social. And usually, there's a more refined rational quality with air signs. So this is a more rational Mars. You also have this idea of Gemini being a double-bodied sign.

Well, what does that mean, this double-bodied sign? Well, this is really at the core of the constellation or solar, seasonal symbolism of Gemini. So if you think about what's happening at Gemini season, which I'll be talking about soon, when, when I do the meaning of the Sun in Gemini video, the Sun is reaching the apex of its seasonal journey at the summer solstice, rising to its highest sort of arc in the sky, where the day will be the longest in the northern hemisphere. So as it approaches that it's since the spring equinox when the light has taken over and all the way back to the summer to the winter solstice, when the lights started rising again, the Sun has been moving upward toward the pole star. In the north, the arc of the Sun in the sky, the ecliptic path of the daily sky, has been raising up slowly. And it's been moving north. The North Star, of course, represents an unchanging center around which everything revolves. The Sun has its own center like that. But in a solar year, it's also moving around a fixed Center, which is the Pole Star. Ancient astrologers looked at it that way we see that explained by Hermes in the Hermetica. Now, when the seasonal journey of the Sun reaches that topmost place of the Summer Solstice, in the day as the longest, we're talking about the aspirational journey toward an ideal. That ideal could be an image rooted in something really selfish, or something very spiritual, or noble, or progressive, or whatever, could be something really vain and materialistic, or it could be something that's really lofty and elevated.

But we're talking about, in a general sense, the journey towards an ideal, the movement towards an unchanging center, the movement towards the Pole Star upward. So Gemini has the spring-like quality of being aspirational, it's the yang time of year, and the yang is growing, and the light is building. So Gemini is an ambitious sign. It's a spring sign. So it's very youthful and ambitious. And it's about growth. And it's about movement. And it's about dynamism and moving towards an ideal. However, what happens exactly as the ideal is reached, as the summer solstice is reached, just at that moment, the Sun begins to fall in the sky. As soon as that moment is reached, the transitional point of the Summer Solstice will take the Sun back downward towards the Fall Equinox, and the winter solstice, the light will immediately start to wane in the solar here. So there's this duality that's built into Gemini that is reflected in that turn, the aspiration. But as soon as one thing has been gained, it's let go of, and as soon as one ideal has been reached, there's a disillusionment that follows.

So similarly, everything in this world moves like that. If you think about, you know, even sexuality, human sexuality, you move towards a climax. And as soon as the climax is reached, then separation occurs. And there's then the energy comes down, and the intensity of the attraction fades away until it's ready to build up again. Right. So this is a natural part of life and energy in the material world and our bodies and our relationships, and so many different ways. This is the kind of shift though that Gemini embodies movement towards the peak and the immediate turn to come down again. So, for example, one of my favorite Geminis had a lot to say about very good examples of solar, seasonal symbolism of Gemini was Tupac Shakur. Tupac Shakur (2Pac), you know, had a lot of quotes that were very typically sort of Gemini quotes. One of them, and I'm not going to remember exactly, but one of them was basically like, It's the game of life, you got to try to go around the board as many times as you can before your time is up. And he also had this sense of disregard for things yet a total belief in the afterlife. So he had this kind of flippancy about life and death, but also understanding of the afterlife of the soul. And these are on display in a lot of his quotes and are very interesting.

So similarly, Hermes Mercury Gemini, in its masculine form at the springtime, very different mood than Virgo the Virgo's Mercury is standing again, a very youthful sign, Virgo, harvest maiden standing on the threshold of the entryway into the underworld. That's really Mercury's favorite place, by the way. Virgo because it's both in its rulership and exalted there. But in Gemini, you have the idea of you have the hermetic ideal, as well as the wisdom or sense of disillusionment with having obtained or gotten what you wanted or desired. Often notice that Geminis are often talked about as being two-sided or two-faced, or, you know, hear all these cliches. But a lot of that relates back to this idea that once something is had, it's immediately discarded or let go for once something is, once you satisfy a desire, you're immediately disappointed again, or, you know, you, you start all over somehow, Got to go around the board as many times as you can. So Mars in Gemini is also going to express itself in terms of this double-bodied quality; it can be very restless, it can be incredibly ambitious, but also never fully satisfied. It can be sort of relentlessly youthful. And one of the qualities of youth, of course, if I watch my daughter, you know, like you'll watch a young child is that they are they there's a lot of energy, they exhausted in a lot of different directions, you know, they'll just kind of run around, and their energy's distributed everywhere. And they really, they really will reach a place where then suddenly they'll crash, you know, and, and then after they crash, then they want to start all over again.

So Mars in Gemini is also like this. It's very adventurous. It's very youthful. It's a very ambitious planet, but it will also easily crash, lose interest, discard things that it's been ambitious about, and then start up on something new. And that, that kind of quality of impermanence, and also kind of a wily trickster, like quality, a feeling of knowing more than other people do that it's all a game, right? That you're, you're just going around the board as many times as you can, that that kind of wily trickster like qualities there, of course, Mars, and Mercury combinations in aspect or when Mars is in Gemini will also produce people who are incredibly sort of, they're like mentally agile, there's a lot of sort of mental dexterity, or they're really good writers or thinkers or craftsmen, or they're very skilled technicians, or they have really highly developed competitive skills. They're very good rhetoricians, or they can be aggressive or competitive scholars or, you know, good on the debate team, this kind of marriage of the aggressive competitive qualities of Mars with the sophisticated mental and intellectual qualities of Mercury.

I happen to know this one pretty well because I happen to have Mars in Gemini nataly. So it sounds pretty familiar for me. For example, I grew up a preacher's kid in the church. And so, you know, growing up, I was kind of like the fast-talking, you know, sort of what is sarcastic sassy? Like, I was on my report card, it always says talks too much, you know, you know, so, and I was very good, for example. Mercury is also related, for example, to merchants and craftsmen and to the marketplace. Ace, a bustling marketplace, think of that in the old world sense. And Mars is, Mars Mercury combinations are also known for thieving and tricksters and stuff like that.

So when I was a kid, I was really good at a couple of things. One was fundraising like we have these school fundraisers where you try to raise as much money as you could for a cause. And then if you did, there would be if you raised so much money, there would be like a prize that you want. So, for example, I would read. I did this thing called the MS readathon. It was you read a certain number of books in a couple of months or something like that and, and you get people to sponsor you per book that you read. And of course, because I was a preacher's kid, I just went to everybody in the church and got them to sponsor me for reading a whole bunch of books. Then, because I was sort of a good, you know, I was a quick reader, I was a fast reader, Mars, and Mars and Mercury sign, Mars, Mercury, speedy thinker, speedy readers. And not only was I a fast reader, but I was a good salesman, right? And then I would fundraiser. So I would sell myself in this project that I was doing underneath at all; of course, even though I love to read, I really wanted the Sega Genesis, you know what I mean? Like the prize that you'd get at the end. So. So then, and I would get it, I was like a state, you know, I got to go and accept an award as one of the top fundraisers in the state several years in a row doing this fundraiser and reading just a boatload of books in a really short amount of time.

So also, when I was a kid, I used to, this is embarrassing. I actually wrote about this in a memoir that I wrote that was published in 2010. I wrote about growing up in the church, but I used to steal money from both the soda machine because I knew where the janitor hid the key. So so, I'd go in and take soda and, like, maybe a couple of bucks. And back then, you know, a couple of dollars going to Ben Franklin or Anderson drugstore and the town I grew up in these small little places that had huge candy aisles. A couple of dollars could go pretty far. Steal money from the offering plates that were left in the secretary's office afterward because I would be able to go into my dad's office, and they were connected. So you know, I like I grew up with some, some degree of like, very trickster, like thieving from the offering dishes. So that was, you know, Mars and Gemini thievery.

When I was a kid, and about 14 or 15, I went through a phase where I didn't steal things from stores. But I had a friend of mine, who was a Gemini, a really good friend of mine, who was a Gemini, and his Sun is basically right on my Mars nataly. And so his the degree of the Sun in Gemini in his chart is right on Mars degree of Mars in Gemini in my chart, and we would, we had this, we would always end up finding ways of, I don't know, what do you want to call it, like, just sort of like treasure hunting, like we would be at during the summertime, we would get dragged around people's houses. Because in both of our families, we're into the church. And so we were, we were always over at people's houses in the church. And we'd always find a way of not really taking things of value, but sort of like treasure hunting in people's homes for interesting things. And then just taking them. I think back when it's terrible, but it was just this kind of, you know, sneaky thing that we did, and, sometimes, money as well. There was a phase that I went through when that was that was a big thing for me. And I actually got caught stealing suckers. There was in school; there were these suckers that they sold for the band to make money for the band program. And I still some suckers and ended up getting a day suspended from school or like a half day suspended from school, my dad brought me in to speak with a probation officer, and it scared the crap out of me, you know, so it was pretty mild stuff. I know people go through a lot worse, but that Mars in Gemini was being activated during that time through time lords and transits and things like that. And so, you know, for example, Mars in Gemini is also very resourceful and sort of Robin Hood-like, right, like stealing from the rich to give to the poor. There can also be this kind of maverick quality with Mars and Mercury. Mars is sort of can be very knightly, and Mercury is very intelligent. So sometimes you'll see people with that combination being very innovative, inventors or people who are entrepreneurial because there's this kind of aggressive risk-taking quality with Mars, as well as a kind of ingenuity with Mercury, Mercury in ancient astrology was the planet of inventors.

So, for example, Mars is in Gemini in my second house, which is the house of money and finances. It's also the ruler of my marriage house. So my wife and I started a business together. And we basically, you know, sort of invented a sort of donation-based wellness collective with special sliding scales and donation-based rates. And when we started this back in 2011, it was pretty new; there was a place that inspired me to do it in New York City called Yoga for the People, which was a donation-based yoga studio. But when I first started doing astrology readings, I thought, how can I get experience? And how can I make a living doing this? And I remember when I was a child, my mom took me to the University of Minnesota dental office, where the students would do teeth cleaning, and it was greatly discounted or even free if I remember correctly. So my mom always was very thrifty. And she had some Gemini placements in her chart. And she was always good at finding a deal. So I had remembered that, and I thought, well, what if I kind of did the same thing and said, Hey, look, I'm training, I'd like to gain experience. So my readings for the first year will be donation based? Well, because I had had a platform built off of the success of a book that I published. And I had an online platform sort of developed, there's Mars in Gemini, again, my interest in writing, and in trying to make a living through writing and speaking and teaching and things like that. I ended up having success in getting a lot of experience in that first year, all through donation-based readings. So Mars and Mercury can be really crafty like that and very sort of inventive because the Mars-like quality is always very, you know, aggressive, or whatever.

Like when I was a kid, another thing that fits in with Mars Mercury is Mars Mercury combinations, very Robinhood. Like, you know, the maverick. So I was always involved in fundraising for causes for people who are suffering or whatever, and finding creative ways of raising money for people well, today, you know, I basically do the same thing for ten years now, I've been doing all donation based work and finding ways of making a living for myself while providing a lot of free content for massive amounts of people and trying to get, you know, some small subsection of my readers who can afford to donate and support my work to do so. When I was a kid, I was literally obsessed with Robin Hood. Right? I had this and, you know, I had this really deep feeling of admiration for him, because he, because he had this kind of outlaw rebel mentality, but he was also really good. So that kind of vigilante, I'm going to do things my own way, they're going to be clever and smart, and any kind of good, but also slightly morally dubious. I've always really resonated with that archetype. It's very Mars in, the sign of Mercury. So anyway, I'm giving you a lot of examples. I'm speaking more than I probably should about this one simply because I'm really familiar with it.

But let's talk about some of the interesting people that have this placement. And you can see how it's on display in the lives of people that you may be familiar with. For example, Martin Luther King, Jr an incredible orator, writer, and speaker. He was someone who rallied enthusiasm and people and had very innovative ways of rallying the support of people through speech. So he was someone who led a movement, Mars leader, warrior kind of mentality, but it was through intelligence. He also had a very lovable Venus in his chart. One thing to say, and I don't mean to diss Martin Luther King, Jr., But he was also, if I remember correctly, a little bit of a philanderer. I think he had several affairs, not to judge anyone, but like you know, that can be a Mars and Gemini thing to where there's a sort of multiplicity of interests, it's a little bit more sort of polyamorous, or there can be, you know, multiple what's the word of multitasking or multiple fields of activity are interested in sometimes there's some degree of moral compromise that happens with Mars and Mercury again, just like the Robinhood example there can be this kind of like deviance like a clever trickster, but also sometimes deviant or a little hypocritical even.

It's something I found that I always have to be really careful of, you know, I can there's that quality of wanting to break the rules and kind of go to the exact opposite side of whatever you say or think you are or doing is there with Mars in Gemini. Jim Morrison who is, you know, very prolific, but very provocative and rebellious, but also incredible poet and singer, Sean Connery, who is James Bond, slick, intelligent, smooth, crafty, a seductor, a womanizer, Pierce Brosnan, who also played James Bond, both bonds Mars in Gemini also had lots of gadgets and tricks. And, you know, he always has the interesting gadget weapon that he uses. And that's a very Mars in Gemini-like thing. Alexander the Great, who was an incredible conqueror, but also wanted to Hellenize the world, you know, the sort of people often celebrate Alexander whether he should or shouldn't be celebrated, because of not only being a great conqueror and sort of Hellenizing the world but also like, you know, culturing other people that needed to be cultured and that's a kind of agenda of taking over Mars, the conquering hero type of image, as well as the one who educates or disseminates knowledge. And, of course, Alexander the Great is one of the first people that we have on record as having encounters from the west with Yogis. He was apparently fascinated by them. So it's also this kind of a theme of being interested in knowledge. And Alexander the Great was certainly interested in culture and knowledge as well.

Mike Tyson a very controversial figure, incredibly fast, incredibly agile, incredibly powerful boxer, technically very precise, but also very strong and powerful. Also, interestingly, there is a little childlike quality or a youthful quality and even an innocent and sort of feminine quality to Tyson; that's really strange, and that's also kind of a Gemini thing. Coco Chanel, who is similarly famous, you know, fashion designer, but she designed women's clothings. I think, if I remember correctly, please correct me out there. If someone knows more about this than I do. But she, her mom, she was modeling after men's like, like work, like men's casual work, clothing or something like that. So there's this kind of masculine energy that she co-ops and makes really feminine and accessible for women. And so she has that kind of crossover that, that Mars in Gemini.

When I was a kid, for example, going back to my own story of Mars and Gemini, I was writing songs and music and playing guitar and like people at school. Some people really liked me. And there was also a constituent of guys who like really harassed me, like 24/7, calling me gay all the time. And at the time, of course, you know, this was at a point in time where, you know, in the 90s, or whatever, like, it was still like, for me nowadays, I'd be like, that's fine. I consider it a compliment. Like, a lot of my greatest friends are gay, like, I don't, I'm not offended by that. I'm not threatened by that at all when you're like 14 years old. And in growing up in the Midwest, and there's like, maybe one gay person in the school that's out at all. At that time, you know what I mean? Like, not many at all homosexuals were like, openly gay in my high school anyway. That was, like, totally traumatizing for me. So one of the things that Mars in Gemini will deal with, whether you're a man or a woman, will be the, you know, Gemini, the gender fluidity that you'll sometimes experience with, that, especially the masculine energy just can be more fluid. So, at any rate, I experienced that, and certainly, that was a part of my own struggles with Mars. Tom Brady and Tiger Woods, incredible technicians, incredible craftsmen of their games, and arguably the greatest of all time, football player and golfer, both Mars and Gemini, both incredible technicians, craftsmen, and innovators in their craft. People say that you know Tom Brady will pick you apart, that he's not like the strongest arm in the world. He's not even the most accurate in the world. It's that he has this vision for the field and this ability to dissect and read coverages and throw to the right receiver almost every single time. So he just has this kind of command and vision of the field.

Tiger Woods just talked about almost exactly the same manner. He doesn't always have the greatest skill set in every single area like irons, putter, wedge, game, driver, whatever. But he has this way of being this incredible innovator and seeing the course in ways that other people don't. Jimmy Page the same thing for guitar, and you get the idea, Daniel Day-Lewis, as an actor, is one of the most incredibly versatile method actors that we've ever had. So, Mars Mercury also, that combination Mars in Mercury sign will show up in people who can. There's this ability to enter into something in a methodical way of entering into something with but with great flexibility and fluidity. So Daniel Day-Lewis has Mars in Gemini, to me, is something that corresponds to his incredible abilities as a method actor, Linda Goodman, who is this very powerful astrologer, very, very famous successful astrologer, sun sign, horoscope writer, very famous writer, OJ Simpson, another person who's talked about in terms of his incredible athletic abilities as a running back, but also, of course, he has this really dark, sort of heinous side of, you know been, he's convicted, I think it was a civil trial of murder, or wrongful death or something like that. Even though the murder trial, his criminal trial, he was acquitted, I guess if that's the right word. So but OJ Simpson, you know, he was skilled in multiple things. He was an actor, a news anchor of a famous athlete, you know, businessman, all these different skills and talents. He also had a real dark side; you know, there was a really dark side that not a lot of people saw until all this happened.

Rene Descartes, I think, therefore, I am. Father of sort of modern dualism, the brilliance of his theoretical positions obviously have had such an impact on modern thought, and Mars and Gemini, the Declaration of Independence happened while Mars is in Gemini, Joni Mitchell, an incredible singer-songwriter, who also has this kind of youthful trickster edge to her, but also this really sort of lovely feminine side, there's again, a real duality that's built into her or her qualities as an artist. Edward Snowden, a famous whistleblower, someone who gets involved in spying and secret information, and there's Mars Mercury again. Bernie Madoff, the creator of a great Ponzi scheme, right, a trickster with money. James Joyce, an incredibly brilliant, you know, genius, literary figure who writes Oh, like Ulysses, and the Dubliners, and all sorts of I've read so much of his work in grad school, but James Joyce, total trickster, total innovator plays with gender fluidity a lot. And is also someone who is quite a maverick and a sort of rebel, but a literary one. Elizabeth Warren, someone who's also an incredibly versatile woman and her skill set and everything that she can do, and she, the way that she knows money, again, she's sort of very, she's been someone who's really intelligent when it comes to understanding tax code and money and distribution of wealth. And, you know, she's been a professor.

Spike Lee, and incredibly, again, sort of avant-garde rebel artist who has this curious, you know, kind of, he's he has a trickster, trickster personality, and very articulate very smart, but very, like, like, you know, verbally very cutting like he can slice and dice you; he has that, that thing going on. And so, at any rate, there's a list of people, you know, kind of think about with Mars in Gemini.

I hope that this, as always, has been useful for you. And that if you have Mars and Gemini stories, you will share them. Excuse or pardon me if I've over-shared my own stories here today. I can't resist sometimes when it comes to certain placements in my own chart. You always want to look at the position of Mercury. Mercury's position will tell you so much more. So Mars in Gemini, where is Mercury in your chart? If you have that placement right now, for example, Mars is in late Gemini; Mercury is in Taurus. So how does that combination go together? That would be the place to start an analysis. But wherever Mercury is in your chart, if you have Mars in Gemini, look very carefully at its house placement at its dignity by sign it's a special relationship with Mars if it has any, and then that will start leading you to build a more complete picture. Because for example, each of these celebrities that I've just gone through the position of their natal Mercury will also be a big part of the story. Even though Mars in Gemini can get you quite a lot, you can just you can get just by matching up the Mars and Mercury qualities together.

All right. So that's what I've got for you today. I hope that this was interesting, and I look forward to hanging out with you guys again soon. Venus will be entering into Taurus shortly, and Mars will be entering into its fall in the sign of Cancer, which is never really fun for Mars. But well, it's a really good one to talk about because there are some upsides to that one too, so. All right. Talk more soon. Take care. Bye.
