Short tempers are de rigueur when Mars is in Gemini. Not only will you feel like loved ones and friends are taking issue with you, but they'll feel like anything they say sets you off. Mars is an irascible energy. It thrives on friction and the heat of conflict. Since it will be impossible to identify who started the argument – you may recall your parent settling similar disputes by putting both you and your sibling into a time out – this would be a good time to think before speaking and to keep your sense of humor handy. Mars will be in Gemini through September 4th.
