Gemini is the sign of communications, short distance travel, neighbours, siblings, thoughts, words, and is part of the element AIR. This is the relationship angle that deals with your day to day interactions with neighbours, close pals and siblings.
When Mars is retrograde in chatterbox Gemini we have a similar vibe to the more infamous retrograde of Mercury, who just happens to be Gemini’s ruler. The main difference is that internal anger and triggers are going to be way more prominent during a Mars Retrograde. Tread gently, particularly when it comes to your words, and find ways to review your needs and desires, especially those that fall within Gemini areas.

Blue Topaz
The first stone that came to mind for the transit of Mars Retrograde in Gemini is blue topaz which links the third eye and throat chakras to help you communicate with wisdom and peace. Blue topaz is a super cooling stone that helps your words become more balanced and spiritual, rather than unpredictable, fiery or aggressive. Blue topaz is also said to help prevent sudden outbreaks of nervous tension or anger. Just perfect for the planet of energy retracing his steps through the sign of words and dialogue.

During Mars retrograde in Gemini the energy may come in short bursts and spikes, and sometimes you may feel depleted of it altogether. Bloodstone is amazing for stamina. This is a grounding and balancing crystal which calms strong emotions and encourages flow between the base and heart chakras. Bloodstone was used on the battlefield in ancient times to increase courage and strength. This crystal can help you create a strong presence in trying situations.

Tourmalated quartz
Tourmalated quartz is great for transmuting negative energy. Words can hurt, and since there will be a lot of hurty words being thrown around during Mars Retrograde in Gemini, you want to have some sort of protective crystal on your person during interactions with others. I love tourmalated quartz because it combines the clear and brightening energy of clear quartz with protective and grounding black tourmaline so you can keep your wits about you while deflecting negative comments. Tourmalated quartz is most often used to help eliminate toxic behaviour patterns so it’s handy for the inward turning energy of Mars retrograde. It also helps with shadow work by balancing yin and yang energies.
Fluorite
With so much scattered energy brought by Mars Retrograde in Gemini, or any of the air signs really, you might find it near impossible to focus on one thing at a time. If you do need to find some sort of mental focus during this period then fluorite can help you cut through the fog. Fluorite helps silence the Gemini mental chatter of unordered thoughts and worries, helping with decision making. Its calming vibration works with the third eye and crown chakras helping to fine tune your intuition and open to divine messages. When things feel like they’re falling all over the place fluorite can help to bring you back into balance and tune into what actually matters.
Unakite
Unakite is connected to past lives, helps process unresolved wounds, improves self esteem and can help you find the energetic or emotional root of a problem so you can release it and attract more positivity and abundance into your life. Hold the unakite crystal to your third eye and ask yourself which habits, relationships and inner beliefs you can release in order to create more abundance and happiness in your life. Unakite is often used as an affirmation stone. Hold it to your heart centre each morning as you repeat your affirmation.
