hese astrological interpretations all relate to the placement of Mars at 21°23' Gemini,
Commonalities
Gemini Influence: Most interpretations reflect Gemini's themes: communication, intellect, duality, adaptability, and social interaction.
Artistic/Creative Tendencies: Several sources ([1], [2], [9]) mention a connection to fine arts, music, or working with the public in artistic fields.
Social Interaction/Relationships: Many emphasize the individual's approach to relationships, whether in terms of attracting others ([1], [5]) or navigating social dynamics ([2], [3], [5]).
Potential for Success/Failure: There's a recurring theme of potential for success balanced by the risk of failure, often contingent on choices, wisdom, or external factors ([1], [3], [4], [6]).
Mental Acuity/Intellectual Pursuits: The degree is linked to mental ability, mathematical skills, inventiveness, and a fondness for knowledge ([5], [8]).


Differences
Overall Tone:
Positive/Optimistic: Some readings lean more positive, emphasizing a gentle disposition, success, and harmonious relationships ([1], [2], [9], [11]).

Cautious/Negative: Others highlight potential downsides, including VULNERABILITY, challenges, betrayals, and even negative traits like cunning or weakness of character ([1], [4], [6], [7]).
Specific Focus:
Carelli [1] focuses on the individual's disposition, social harmony, potential for idealism/weakness, and relationship dynamics (especially for women).
Bardon [2] emphasizes a specific spirit/head, Corilon, who assists artists for public success and financial gain.

Chandra [3] paints a pragmatic and adaptable individual who makes calculated decisions, even if it means sacrificing parts of themselves ("cutting deals," "total sell-out"). This is one of the more cynical interpretations.

Charubel [4] describes a noble nature facing early promise but ultimate failure and a sensitive soul overwhelmed by life's hardships. This is a particularly melancholic interpretation.
Henson [5] provides a mix, touching on math/music, inventiveness, marriage difficulties, trouble with the opposite sex, public position, and some physical/health associations.

Janduz [6] depicts a secretive but courageous character experiencing career ups and downs, ingratitude from others, and the need to fight injustice to avoid a lonely end.

Kozminsky [7] uses the symbol of ivy clinging to stones to describe someone who clings to others for business advantage, focusing on accumulation of riches and recognizing useful connections.

Leinbach [8] notes potential for eye problems and either lopsided or scattered development. It highlights mental ability, especially in math, but stresses the need for direction from the rest of the chart.

Sabian [10] uses the image of "Dancing Couples in a Harvest Festival" to emphasize the wholesome enjoyment of organic processes and emotional drives, contrasting it with urban life and highlighting bioenergetic rebuilding. This is one of the most abstract and symbolic interpretations.

Weber [11] provides a blend of Taurean (gentle disposition, love of nature/religion) and Sagittarian (successful in vocations, potentially "captured" by common ones) influences, leading to a gentle, pleasant, and harmonious nature.

Relationship to the Rest of the Chart: Carelli [1] and Leinbach [8] explicitly mention the importance of considering the entire horoscope to temper or direct the ENERGIES of this degree.
In essence, while they all start with the same astrological placement, these interpretations diverge significantly in their focus, tone, and specific details, offering a multifaceted view of the potential influences of Mars at 21°23' Gemini




============================================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Carelli

21-22 deg Gemini

Symbol: Chirping birds peck at their seed.

A gentle, winning disposition, a delicate but communicative nature, a rather too talkative but pleasant character; a person led by the honest desire to be in harmony with everyone and to bring peace everywhere,

89

fond of nature and in some cases highly gifted for fine arts.

This native might incline to the corresponding failings and be overconfident; or his gentle nature might not stand the hard struggle for life and might resent its cruel blows; or he might entertain lofty desires which can hardly be satisfied on earth. The demonstrative strain in his character can be warped into a random talkativeness apt to waste away his creative faculties; and his conciliating tendency might sink to weakness of character.

Reference is to be made as usual to the horoscope as a whole. Should the rest of the chart offset the excessive idealism with a solid sense of reality (prevalence of the Earth element; role played by the sign Scorpio; opposition of Luminaries; trigonal position of the Moon, Mars, Mercury to each other, etc.) and be good on the whole, the subject would be skilled and successful in his work, happy in marriage; harmony and well-being would sway in his home and about him.

A woman born under this degree will land the man she wishes, though leaving him the pleasant delusion of having made his own choice, if she is wise enough not to let him go too far before wedlock. Should she have other aims, she could have all the men she wants, and would manage to stay on friendly relations with them afterwards as well. The horoscope as a whole will show whether she will be prodigal of her own or of herself.


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Bardon

107: Corilon (23° Gemini) - This head is the guardian and assistant of all artists working for the public, no matter whether singers, stage actors, circus-artists, virtuosos etc. If this head is evoked, he will assist everybody by inspiration, in the above quoted direction, to display his art or work to everybody's complete satisfaction. Corilon makes professional artists very much loved by the audience and also secures their financial success. In case the magician is a stage-artist himself, orin case he wants to assist somebody else theoretically and practically, then he should refer confidently to this head, who will fulfill his wish at any time.


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Chandra

GEMINI 22 A young girl is sold to a sultan. Cutting deals. Shuffling the personal deck. Being willing to cut out this part and amplify that part of self as the occasion demands. Intensely pragmatic. Taking things as they are and adapting accordingly. Especially prone to neglecting, forsaking, denying for extended cycles huge chunks of yourself. Seeking the optimal combination to be able to do what you want to do and achieve the results you have in mind. Streamlining all self-presentation, even to yourself, to make it look good and easy and manageable. Caught in the ego-mind in a thousand distorted reflections, you are able to rationalize or justify even a total sell-out. But essentially smart, capable, and on top of things. Just intricately familiar with the ropes and rabidly convinced you must not be caught short or marginalized. And you can emphasize and insist upon whatever angle of selfhood will prove helpful and productive to the ego-mind in its multiple ongoing transactions.

- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Charubel

I see the Sun rising in his brightness. It is on the horizon, but all the other part of the sky is covered with dark clouds, over which hang the shades of a lingering night. A noble nature. This nature is stamped with a generous disposition. The native’s early life is marked with promise; but fate and fortune conspire against him. The winds are too cold for that sensitive soul. He is born out of time and place. His grand schemes prove failures. His Sun sets under a cloud while it is as yet but morning.

- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Henson

21-22 deg Gemini

Math ability, music; inventiveness; sometimes very firm about theories and guesses; inclines one to avoid marriage or, if they do marry, they generally make a mess of it; often brings trouble through the opposite sex; culminating; said to confer martial or ecclesiastical honors and riches, attended by waste and dissipation; a public position of trust and eminent friends; careful, timorous, inquisitive, very fond of knowledge and of novelties; said to be fortunate; enteric; beneficial hopefulness, and good fortune; upper arm.


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Janduz

22 Gemini "A decrepit man stooping on a stick limps off a deserted road. Behind him, is an old, storm-stricken oak." Secretive, subtle, and courageous character. Life starts under the best aegis, but after having reached its heights, the career undergoes numerous ups and downs, and one discovers that the people one has helped, including the family members, behave with ingratitude. One must carefully distinguish between genuine friends and flatterers, if one is to prevent one's life from ending in painful poverty and loneliness. Furthermore, one must never hesitate to fight injustices instead of limiting oneself to cowardly neutrality.


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Kozminsky

21-22 deg Gemini

275

Symbol: A heap of stones over which ivy is growing.

Denotes one who clings to others for business and advantage, and who will be careful, saving, and given to the accumulation of the riches of the world. He will recognize those useful for his purpose, and recognizing them will secure them. The symbol is not without its danger and its threatening. It is a symbol of Clinging.


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Leinbach

21-22 deg Gemini

This degree contributes to eye problems of various kinds. It also indicates a variety of possible influences. Generally the development will be either lopsided or scattered. If much effort is put into a particular area it tends to leave the person very immature and undeveloped in most other areas. If the person is scattered generally there is much dissipation and waste of energy. Mathematics is an area where this native may excel. Others with this degree may fail completely to acquire any skill whatsoever with the simplest math problems. It seems to lend the mental ability to pursue almost any chosen course. However, the rest of the chart must lend direction and stability. It is better when this degree is not one of the forceful ones that is occupied by the Sun or Ascendant, etc. Even so, if Mercury were in a good degree in Taurus or Cancer it would give greater breadth to the chart.


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Muir

21-22 deg Gemini

One who obtains recognition through literature and to whom others cling for business advantages. He must use all who come in fulfilling his mission.


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Sabian

PHASE 82 (GEMINI 22°): DANCING COUPLES IN A HARVEST FESTIVAL.

KEYNOTE: The wholesome enjoyment of organic processes and emotional drives.

Again we have an image in strong contrast to the first of this series. From the mind-built city, where workmen claim a larger sphere of social abundance, we find ourselves in the village, where men and women live in far greater harmony with natural and seasonal processes, giving free rein to their emotional instincts. The two poles of a wholesome society - the large industrial city and the agricultural village - should be included; likewise the two poles of a healthy personality - mind and natural emotions - should be active.

This is the contrasting second stage of the seventeenth sequence of five symbols. It stresses the value of rhythmic, healthful activity in a natural setup, for this leads to an often much needed process of BIOENERGETIC REBUILDING.


- Mars 21°23' Gemini - Weber

21-22 deg Gemini

444

Taurus with Sagittarius gives a gentle, winning disposition - generally pleasant and harmonious enough - and fond of nature and also religion. Successful at variety of vocations, probably “captured” by common ones - secretary, clerk, intercessors - but apt to do very well later in life. Must guard health and avoid life-endangering habits.
