What it does well
Learns fast, connects unrelated ideas, and can talk to anyone about anything.
Air · Mutable · ruled by Mercury
♂ Mars in Gemini ♊
Mars governs drive and anger — how you pursue and how you fight. In Gemini, that function takes on curiosity, quickness and a need for variety — a Mutable Air expression ruled by Mercury.
Where it strains
Starts more than it finishes, and uses cleverness to avoid depth.
