Venus is all about love & beauty, and seeking sensual pleasures. The goddess of love leaves its place of dignity in Taurus on 24th April 05:03 BST/12:03 HKT, and will dance into the mentally stimulating Gemini territory until 19th May. Venus in Gemini is predominately peregrine, a wanderer who is independent in her stride. However, she will gain dignity by term when she reaches approximately 12 to 17 degrees, which translates roughly to 3rd to 8th May. Admittedly, the effect is rather minimal. Venus in Gemini by transit is a period of intellectual curiosity, playful flirting, and dynamic communication in relationships, as Gemini is ruled by Mercury. However, various aspects during her sojourn in Gemini will modify the way Venus in Gemini displays herself.
Outers or No Outers
For those who look at the outers, Uranus will enter Gemini on 26th April, so until the end of April, Venus is in a separating conjunction to Uranus. Matters of love and pleasure may take on an unexpected turn. For those who do not look at the outers, Venus in Gemini in itself already has this connotation. It's interesting to further note that Venus also sextile Neptune in the last week of April, so take promises with a pinch of salt. If you are lucky, perhaps this could manifest into something romantic, and it may get intense with Venus trine Pluto. If you don't look at the outers, similar message can be gleamed from the end of April to early May, when Venus is in an approaching sextile to Saturn, so it's not all frivolous fun, Saturn provides you the opportunity to gain some level of support or wisdom from the experience. This aspect becomes exact under the full moon in Scorpio on 1st/2nd May. More on this full moon in a later post.
Mutual Reception
From 3rd May, Mercury enters Taurus, which is in mutual reception with Venus in Gemini until 17th May. Intellectual curiosity blends in with sensual stability. In relationships, communication brings practical outcomes. Creative projects can benefit from combining objective thinking with sensual awareness. This mutual reception ends on 17th May, 14.5 hours after the New Moon in Taurus on 16th/17th May. From this point, Venus is in an approaching sextile to Mars, creating a dynamic, intellectually stimulating and physically exciting period, blending playful curiosity with direct action. Spontaneous romance is favored, where sparks get ignited at lightning speed. Just a day before Venus leaves Gemini, Mars enters Taurus, where he gains dignity by triplicity, not to mention being in Venus' sign of dignity, just in time for Venus to reciprocate the love when she saunters into Cancer the next day. More about this in a later post.
