Mars is your masculine side, your driving force, part of your sex drive, and how you’re motivated to make change in the world.
Your Mars shows how you obtain courage to act, what you’re passionate about, what you desire, and how you show aggression. Mars is all of the most base, animalistic feelings.
We need our Mars to push us towards what we’re passionate about and to be able to express ourselves in a truly authentic, visceral way.
At its worst, Mars makes us impulsive, reckless, or angry, but at its best, Mars can be a wonderful motivator and a great avenue to help us express ourselves. Though Mars in Gemini is typically mental, this placement does have a variety of types of energy because Gemini is so changeable.

Anger
Mars in Gemini is a warrior who doesn’t know the meaning of defeat. They will do anything to win, and words are their weapon! Their sharp tongue can cut someone’s reputation down with just one sentence, or they could stay quiet while cooking up more sarcastic remarks under your nose — all without looking like an aggressor (and thus avoiding conflict).

Though Mars in Gemini people have extremely cunning minds, this can also be their downfall. They cam come up with logic that makes sense and argue their way out of anything, but it doesn’t mean that they’re actually right.
However, if you have Mars in Gemini, you probably won’t be aggressive as a fire sign Mars placement. You’re unlikely to hold onto an argument for a prolonged period of time (unless the houses/aspects say otherwise), but your words can be extremely cutting while you’re actually angry.
Be careful that you don’t generate conflict just because you’re bored or under-stimulated. Mars in Gemini people tend to lash out at others when they feel downtrodden and useless, even if the cause lies somewhere else.

However, Mars in Gemini could also be a charming person who is skilled at talking your ear off. He or she will know how to get what s/he wants, but may not always do things ethically.

For more details about your career, I recommend that you look into your 10th house and aspects to your 10th house.
