Venus has been in Taurus for the last approximately 4 weeks where she has been very much at home. When a planet sits in its home sign of the zodiac it has a lot more power and influence over us and so many of you may have found over the last 4 weeks or so, that you were a lot more focused on improving your position in life, or that you were seeking more beauty and luxury around you and/or you were more intent on increasing your income and security. These are all very Venus in Taurus behaviours and can really help us to put more value on ourselves and the life we wish to live, however Venus in Taurus can become a bit overly fixated on such things too.
Now Venus in Gemini also has a great love for the finer things in life, BUT it’s not as practical and balanced in this energy as it is when it is in Taurus. The methodical and logical way that Taurus operates means that it puts value on what it owns and is more than happy to work as long and hard as is necessary to acquire those luxury items or to achieve that financial security. But when Venus is in Gemini its quite different. Venus in Taurus says “save up for that luxury item”. Venus in Gemini says “I must have it now!”. So, under this influence we do have to watch our spending and what we are attracted too. What can seem like an imperative need that you have to fill, can, once Venus moves out of Gemini, be revealed as a waste of money or a bad investment. So, do take your time and question everything regarding major purchases or investments at this time, as you may well be under the influence of the Gemini magpie that just needs to explore everything that glitters and sparkles! And, if you worked hard during Venus in Taurus to increase your bank account or put money aside, don’t let cheeky Venus in Gemini now convince you to spend all of it! Be discerning and be honest with yourself when it comes to what you “want” opposed to what you “need”!
Venus in Gemini is a very social placement that will encourage you to explore opportunities and experiences that encourage a deeper appreciation for beauty and things that inspire you. This can be a wonderful time to learn more about art, or even about what creative things you like to be involved in or have around you. We are also having a look at our values and needs and seeing if there needs to be any change or upgrade there to allow us to come more into alignment with ourselves. But, once again always remember that Gemini can be the ficklest sign of the zodiac and what can be important one day can mean very little the next.
You may also feel under the influence of Venus in Gemini that you need to explore all and any new opportunities offered to you, and especially so if they can make you feel better about yourself and the life you are living. But once again, we need to remember that Gemini energy is extremely changeable and so use this time to discover and explore but perhaps not to commit to too much. Remember during Venus in Gemini we will also be under the influence of Mercury Retrograde and during this we can often not see things as clearly as we should, or be as practically aware of what is truly needed in our lives.
When it comes to romance Venus in Gemini may well want to play the field and is possibly a lot more interested in having fun and a good time than it is in commitment and loyalty. Therefore, any romances begun under this influence may not last the distance unless a lot of hard work and good communication can be put in after Venus leaves Gemini at the end of July.
Venus in Gemini does like to have fun however, and so this can be a wonderful time to reconnect with old friends and to spend time doing new things and exploring new opportunities to see what other interests you can develop and what gifts and talents you may be sitting on that you did not realise you had.
Use this transit to appreciate what you already have and to put more of a value on yourself and what you bring to the table. It can be a positive time to re-discover or re-vamp your own beauty and wardrobe. You may feel a lot more confident to try a new look and experiment in this way and your open-mindedness and ability to embrace something new could be very enlightening and enjoyable for you, so don’t be afraid to get busy in this way.
