Gemini decan 2: the decan lords of both systems

Gemini decan 2 covers 10°00′–19°59′ of Gemini, the middle ten degrees. In the Chaldean system each ten-degree slice has a lord called the face, and here it is Mars.

Mars as face lord turns the talk of Gemini into action and argument. Speed shows in sharp replies, quick fixes and a liking for debate that has a point to win. Words are tools here and they are used on purpose, sometimes like a blade. Restlessness is higher than elsewhere in the sign, so sitting through a long meeting or a slow explanation is hard. Ideas are tried out immediately rather than discussed for long.

A planet here tends to emphasise speaking up and trying things out fast. In practice, you reply fast in a group chat, challenge a claim on the spot, and start on the fix before the meeting has ended.

Gemini decan 2 covers 10°00′–19°59′ of Gemini, the middle ten degrees. In the triplicity system its sub-sign is Libra, and its lord is Venus, the traditional ruler of Libra.

Gemini coloured by Libra turns the curiosity of the sign toward other people. Conversation becomes social: the pleasure is in the exchange, in tact, and in finding a phrase that works for both sides. Charm and a sense of style are stronger, and writing or speaking with a particular person in mind comes naturally. Conflict is avoided by changing the topic or lightening the tone, which keeps the peace and sometimes keeps a question from being answered.

A planet here tends to emphasise sociable, balanced conversation. In practice, you write the message that is firm and kind at once, choose a topic that suits the person you are talking to, and ease a sharp moment with a joke.
