This saying reflects the idea that while one can be quick-witted and versatile, collaboration and external support are often needed to achieve results—highlighting the communication and social aspects of Mars in Gemini, which might sometimes lack follow-through on its own.
Mars is traveling through Gemini during July 20th, 2024 until September 3rd, 2024. In doing my research about charts which have this aspect, the search through my astrological archive revealed that Jamaica as a nation has Mars in Gemini in its horoscope. I used the date August 6th, 1962 as a birthdate, when the nation gained independence from the United Kingdom. Jamaica's natal chart has the Sun in Leo, Moon in Libra and Mars in Gemini.
Mars in astrology is associated with the archetype/god of war and conflict. It represents the principle of passion, drive and doing. It converts whatever it touches into fuel and therefore into action. In a horoscope Mars shows where we dare to put ourselves on the line and take a risk. Our Mars will show where, when, how we may dare to show our strength.
When in Gemini, Mars' qualities could be resumed as:
Verbal Assertiveness: Express yourself clearly and cleverly.
Versatility & Adaptability: Embrace new skills and opportunities.
Curiosity & Mental Energy: Dive into creative projects and innovations.
Social Connections: Build and strengthen diverse relationships.
Physical & Mental Agility: Stay active to balance your mental energy.
Because Gemini is the sign of connection between parts, people and ideas, a Mars in Gemini will be mostly visible in the way we communicate. So on this premise, I went on to highlight traits of the Jamaican people that could be expressed by this aspect (Mars in Gemini), using language - with its application in songs. Chat GPT was of help in putting this together, but what I would have loved would have been a conversation with a Jamaican artist, in which we could explore these themes together. I place that wish with the Universe and hopefully soon it will happen.
Until then, here is a combination of songs that mirror the traits and qualities of this astrological transit (astrology is based on correspondences). I hope you find this fun and familiar. Educational too, as using the natal chart of Jamaica not only brings awareness to the collective of the country, but helps you to enrich your astrological knowledge.
