Mars Transit in Gemini

Gemini belongs to Mercury, whom Mars counts an enemy, and Mangala passes through in about forty-seven days. Budha's quickness and Mars's heat sit uneasily together, and argument comes easily during the stay.

Gemini governs the arms, the hands, speech and short travel. Mars here turns effort toward writing, debate and machinery. The hands are busy and prone to small injuries. Words carry an edge the speaker does not always intend.

The nakshatras are Mrigashira, Ardra and Punarvasu. Mrigashira belongs to Mars, so the stay opens at full drive. Ardra, under Rahu, is the sharpest stretch and suits technical work and hard problems, and Punarvasu, under Jupiter, closes the stay by cooling the argument.

Classical gochara counts Mars well in the third, sixth and eleventh from the natal Moon, which here means Aries, Capricorn and Leo Moons. Gemini Moons hold it in the first, where restlessness runs high. Virgo Moons carry it in the tenth and Sagittarius Moons in the seventh, where agreements strain.

Notice how words get used as weapons during this stay. Turning the same force onto a technical problem settles the mind quickly. Guard the hands and check the brakes.

• Recite the Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesday through the stay.
• Take up one hard technical problem during Ardra.
• Leave any argument that has stopped being about the subject.

Mars in Gemini for each Moon sign

Counted from the natal Moon, following Phaladeepika. Read the ascendant the same way. Vedha and the birth chart can change the result.
