Mars in Gemini in the Eighth House

The placement of Mars in Gemini indicates that you have a need to feel free to take any action or to pursue your desires in any direction that you are inclined to do. This need generally is manifested in a desire to actively explore, experience what is around you and participate in a multitude of different types of activities.  With Mars in Gemini, this need can be accomplished within the bounds of everyday life and propriety. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Mars in Gemini are a result of this need for variety in your active life.

The placement of Mars in Gemini is generally positive. This is symbolized by the natural sextile between Gemini and Mars-ruled Bélier. Gemini is the Mutable Air sign. Gemini’s changeable air symbolically acts like a prism for the Mars energy, magnifying the power of the Mars-symbolized function as it is activated in several directions. However, if some control is not exercised to structure the flow of this active energy, it may dissipate into too many channels. The air element associated with Gemini also tends to give your actions and desires a mental quality. This is often manifested in your greater willingness to communicate your desires and talk about your activities.

Mars also symbolizes the animus in the psyche. Thus, if you are male with Mars in Gemini, you are likely to model your masculinity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Gemini. If you are female, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Gemini-associated traits.

Insécurités

Having Mars in Gemini, being insecure within yourself, you need to be involved in constant activity in order to feel that you matter. Activity is both a validation for your ego and a distraction from your insecurities. With Mars in Gemini, your need to be constantly involved in some activity is fed by the fact that your desires abound in all directions. These, of course, cannot possibly all be fulfilled. Nevertheless, you feel that you may miss something if you are not engaged in every activity.

Mars in the 8th House:

Mars in the 8th House is generally well-placed. This view, however, seems to be greatly influenced by Mars’ association with desire and sexuality. The 8th House is traditionally the house of sexuality and Mars’ placement here suggests a masculine sexuality that is “in its element.” Following this line of thought suggests that you are generally able to intimately express your sexuality.

Another dynamic that is suggested by Mars in the 8th House is the enhancement of your ability to act through the power that comes from intensity and focus. This is a power that generally comes from within you and allows you to act with force and confidence. It is your intimate involvement with your actions and with the thing or situation acted upon that is the source of this power in action.  Having Mars in the 8th House, you, generally, are not afraid to act. You know, often intuitively, both the appropriate form and the ultimate consequence of your actions. Your actions may, therefore, appear to others to be strong, powerful and fearless. This often inspires trust and respect. The outcome of this is often that you are placed in a position where you can lead or manage others.  With Mars in the 8th House, the intimacy that you wish to experience through your actions is often viewed by you in terms of control. If you can control through your actions, then you can enforce an intimate relation with the object of control. This desire for control sometimes becomes an obsession. It may extend to all of your actions, from a desire to have power over others, to a desire to maintain control over your own actions, to a will to dominate your sexual partner.  As an individual with Mars in the 8th House, sometimes this desire for control can have an inhibiting effect on your active function. You become retentive and may have difficulty acting. You may wish only to act in secret so as to protect your “power.” The polarity of this is the urge to liberate the power of action that resides within you.

Insécurités

Having Mars in the 8th House, if you are inwardly insecure, this will lead you to crave intimacy but you find none that you can obtain. In actuality, your ego will always stand in the way of experiencing intimacy but you are not willing to give up your ego. Instead, you are determined to be master of the “other,” whether this “other” is your partner, your associates or the situation in which you find yourself. With Mars in the 8th House, you cannot let go because, in your eyes, this would mean losing control. Therefore, all of your actions are bent upon securing and maintaining control. In this way, you seek to tie others to yourself.

As an individual with Mars in the 8th House, if you cannot control a situation, then you may react with one of two polar responses. You may lash out violently, desperately trying to enforce the intimacy of your control. Or, you may withdraw into your own intimacy, where you can be assured of “control” and where you can brood over the wrongs that have been done to you and plot your revenge.

Concentration des désirs

With Mars in the 8th House, your desires are generally bound up with seeking intimacy or control.  This may manifest as a desire for sexual intimacy or for power. For some individual with Mars in the 8th House, this desire for power may be expressed through the occult. For some, the desire for intimacy may be focused on that experience of ultimate intimacy with life and death.  Your desires are likely to be private and to remain private. You may consider them to be too intimate to share, even with those closest to you – or, certainly, only with those closest to you.
