Mercury and Mars in Gemini here, too.  Would trade for Mars in Scorpio, for sure.

Hmmm how did this show up in my feed.  The last entry appears to be years ago.

Mars in Scorpio in the 5th house here.  I am wondering....  I've been questioning deeply for a few years how it is that people can be manipulative.  I don't know If I have a blind spot that I do not see myself as a manipulator.  

My 8th house is Aquarius and Saturn is there natally.  Perhaps that has put a hold on the manipulative energy.  And Pluto is in conscientious Virgo.  

What I've identified with my Scorpio Mars is that I am taken down down down into subconscious worlds when I fall in love.  Ultimately the experience transforms.  Right now my chrysalis is ultra tight and uncomfortable/painful.
