How Mars in Gemini is read
Mars in Gemini is traditionally read as putting its drive into debate, negotiation and gathering information. It juggles several things at once and moves on when bored. Anger comes out in words and quick comebacks.
Dignity
Traditional astrology rates how comfortably each planet works in each sign (essential dignity). For Mars, Gemini is no essential dignity (peregrine); aspects and house carry more of the reading.
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish)
Jyotish calls Gemini Mithuna. Because it divides the zodiac by the stars (sidereal), a Western Mars at Gemini 0° to about 24° is in Taurus (Vrishabha) in Jyotish. Reading both systems side by side shows different sides of the same person.
