Venus in Gemini

Venus in Gemini

1458347Having satisfied her physical appetites while in Taurus, a sign she calls home, it was time for Venus to visit Gemini and indulge her mind.

Although one might think that Venus would be homesick for the Bull’s earthy delights and passionate nights, this pleasure-loving planet feels very much at ease in Gemini’s breezy bungalow.

Like Mercury, Venus presides over two signs in the zodiac. As it happens, her second home is the airy abode of Libra, which gives her a natural rapport with fellow air signs Gemini and Aquarius. Consequently, Venus is comfortable in the sign of the Twins where she works every room and charms the rest of the zodiac with her witty repartee.

As the sign that presides over the mind, Gemini is curious about everything and everyone. It’s also restless and craves variety. Consequently, while Venus is here, she behaves much like the bee that samples the nectar of a variety of blossoms while keeping an eye out for more tempting delights. So yes, she can be flirtatious as well as a bit fickle, but it’s not because she’s cold or uncaring. Air signs are social creatures, and in their mind they’re not flirting; they’re just making polite conversation. As for being hard to pin down, that’s because Venus in Gemini is often indecisive. Although she’s loathe to admit it, she can give Venus in Libra a run for her money when it comes to weighing the pros and cons of any given situation.

When it comes to love, as long as she’s immersed in the sign of intellect, her heart will follow her head. In other words, romantic attraction begins in her mind and works it way down her body. Those who excel in conversation will capture her attention, provided of course they don’t want to talk about their (or her) feelings. If your idea of expressing affection involves talking about feelings, save yourself some heartache and find another goddess. Does she make exceptions? Yes, but only when she’s under the influence of a strong natal connection from the Moon, Neptune or Pluto.

Venus also rules money, and in keeping with Gemini’s well-known duality, her attitude towards its tends to alternate between easy come, easy go and Ms. Cheapskate depending upon how much (or how little) cash she has at the moment. When she’s flushed, she can be a spendthrift; when funds are tight, she can be downright stingy. While in this intellectual sign, Venus tends to spend her hard-earned cash on experiences that stimulate the mind, and even when her chips are low, she’ll always manage to come up with enough money for a ticket to that fascinating film, must-read book or coffee with a friend.

When Venus is in Gemini, life and love doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive or even the best quality. The only “must” is that it’s interesting. Everything else is gravy.

Venus is in Gemini from May 24 – June 17, 2016.
