This year, Venus entered Gemini on April 4th. During this season, it’s easier for all of us to flip between the two extremes. When denied their freedom or if they’re feeling bored, Gemini’s love can quickly turn to hate.

Gemini’s affections are hard to stabilize, as they are drawn to what is new, exciting and novel. It is like a butterfly, flitting in a garden from one attractive flower to the next. Gemini rarely pays attention to one thing for very long. Many people who have Venus in Gemini in their natal chart have a tendency for love/hate relationships. In Gemini, these two sides manifest as Love and Hate. Venus is a mutable sign, and like all mutable signs, it has two distinct sides. You may think of a new way to generate income during this time that uses your voice, networking abilities, and your mind. Whether in business or pleasure, there is a strong impulse to use all channels of communication – mental, verbal and digital, to explore new ideas. The need for intellectual stimulation is heightened. Gemini is the sign of communication, and while in Gemini, Venus likes to communicate … A LOT! Love notes, soft whispers in your partner’s ear, and new and exciting ways to communicate affection is how Venus in Gemini expresses itself. Often the relationship we find ourselves in now may need some serious tlc, or it might need to move in another direction entirely in order to align with our inner needs and values. We begin to examine our personal values, and if they are aligned with what we need to feel happy and fulfilled, both financially and in our intimate connections with friends and lovers.

We detach from others and our focus goes inward. This is a normal aspect of Venus, and part of how we enact the energies of Venus in our lives. When ever people connect to one another, their tendrils intertwine and their energy is exchanged. We use these tendrils to connect emotionally with others. W e all have psychic tendrils or “feelers” that reach out and touch other people.

A Cycle Of Rethinking Our Relationship Patterns I nstead of dealing with the communication issues associated with Mercury – this time, our relationships, our finances, and our overall level of fulfillment will be undergoing a cosmic audit. Similar to the more familiar and more frequent Mercury Retrograde, Venus Retrograde is a time of uncovering problems, retracing your steps, revisiting old connections and opportunities, and potentially taking a new and different path that brings you into greater alignment with your capacity for pleasure and success. Venus Retrograde is a six week period that happens once every year and a half. Relationships have been on a rocky road since last week when Venus – the planet of love, money and relationships – started her retrograde journey through the sign of Gemini. More specifically… How are you feeling about the people in your life?
