Gemini likes routines and the powerful punch that warrior planet Mars adds to this will encourage this placement to take on errands, tasks and chores with enthusiasm — especially if it means wandering around the local community. They’ll take on work with energy and joy, ensuring that everything gets done promptly. This also means we might be inspired to burn the midnight oil; however, knowing how to balance your life before experiencing exhaustion and anxiety is vital.
When it comes to how we express our sensuality, Mars in Gemini will bring out our flirtatious nature. We’ll want to let our passions be known through sexting and not hold back on telling people about our desires. The same goes for hexting (aka hate texting). In heated moments of intense emotion and anger, putting our phones down will be hard. It’s critical we take a step back and understand the weight of what is being said or written. Draft your thoughts before sending them out. Words can hurt; use them wisely. Pay attention to tales and gossip that are circulating in your peer group. Since Gemini is a dualistic sign, there could be more to the story and things may not be as they seem. If the vibe doesn’t feel right, then it’s advisable to trust your instincts.
How To Navigate Through The Energy
Breathe through it. If you have any stress or frustration, take a few deep breaths as you inhale and exhale to calm your thoughts.

Journal. Write down your feelings to explore them on a profound level. You’ll be surprised by how much you can connect with your emotions by journalling them.
Take breaks in communication. You don’t have to send blocks of text paragraphs at a time. Think about the heart of the matter and send one simple yet meaningful message.
Rest your mind. Don’t overthink matters. Disengage from obsessive thoughts through meditation and connecting with nature.
Most importantly, take on fun activities. Mars in Gemini likes to be social and have a good time. Therefore you should, too!
