With Mars now entering the mutable and social sign of Gemini, your drive is one of high speed in many directions, both physical and mental which, if not careful, might easily result in scattering your energies. With so many varied interests it can be difficult to complete projects or keep promises. The primary focus is to initiate ideas and spread information with a tendency to be a much better talker than listener. Despite the inclination to force ideas, communication is best used as the means for beneficial exchange rather than intellectual combat.
However, this may not be an issue as you’re likely to work independently or behind the scenes without the knowledge of others to focus on a project that requires a great deal of time alone. You’ll be working in secret and others won’t know what you’re doing. The intense concentration and absorption required of this goal or to develop your vision can mean you tire more easily.
Although Mars is the planet of conflict, you’re not prone to being openly aggressive or assertive during this period. The emphasis is on cultivating your gifts and taking a refined approach to life with the potential to bring gain to your reputation. Generally, you’re tolerant of people and situations as long as they don’t cause harm or take advantage of you. The preference is to avoid anger, arguments, and ignore the offensive remarks of others. Your first choice is to withdraw from conflict and confrontations, particularly with family members. This is just as well as you’re not particularly sharp in retort or adept with timely defense.
In some cases, you feel extreme anxiety about the inability to defend yourself in difficult situations, and it’s usually specific people and situations most likely to trigger this stress. Often your anger is vague or even delayed after the fact. However, suppressed anger can eventually erode your sense of personal power. If this is the case, you may exhibit frustration as intense emotional outbursts or repressed desires that are inappropriate to the given moment. While you possess great mental energy and will, impetuosity directs action with either positive or corrupt intention and results. Responding to situations with rashness can lead to mistakes which incur displeasure and court danger. In fact, anger as a response may be displaced or even counterproductive. If you’re continually involved in aggravating situations, you may find that your energy is drained through conflict.
On the other hand, you may have very specific reasons for declining to respond with aggression. Perhaps the situation either doesn’t warrant force or you deem assertiveness to be useless. Mars working in tandem with the star, Alcyone makes you aware and sensitive to difficult issues and the anger at injustice. You have an amazing capacity for insight into people and situations and the ability to make realistic analysis that might compel you to become the critic or commentator on social challenges or apply energy constructively to address the imbalances in the world. As you develop greater psychological understanding of yourself and others, you become immune or less susceptible to any negativity. A lack of response may be the conscious choice not to become a victim of your own anger.
