Venus is now in the Mutable Air sign of the Zodiac, Gemini, where it will be until 7/17/2022 when it enters Cancer. The planet Venus fulfills our psychological needs for security (income/values) and balanced relationships, and the archetype of Gemini is associated with our needs for information, learning, adaptability, mental stimulation, and communication. Our relationships to self and others will be more adaptable and communicative. We may feel as though we need our relationships/partners and our forms of income to be more versatile, adaptable and stimulating in order to feel secure and stable. You may find that you need more stimulating forms of relating to others - you may be reaching out to friends more, socializing and sharing more to others about your security needs. The Gemini archetype is curious, flirtatious, experimental - you’ll likely be bringing these qualities into your relationships and be willing to try new things to please your partner. When Venus was in Taurus, even though it is one of the homes of Venus, we were conservative with our resources and within our relationships - we may have felt more possessive towards our immediate needs for security, holding tightly onto partners, money, being stubborn with our values and our time, attaching ourselves to the tangible reality that is in front of our faces…but after weeks of holding ourselves down and (attempting to) resisting instability, we now feel ready to welcome air into our sails - we are ready to accept the inevitable change, to pivot towards a future that leaves room for our dexterous natures.
Venus Transits:
6.28.22 Venus square Vesta 6’33’ - Vesta in Pisces can signify a time period of when our work commitments and sexuality become more subliminal, poetic, or spiritual. Though, the Piscean influence on Vesta may mean we’re scattered in our approach to our work, possibly spacey and diffusive, and we may even feel victimized by it. Many may be energetically cleansing or washing away devotional activities, work routines, and complexes towards one’s own sexuality - if this sounds relatable to your current focus, make sure after the spiritual cleanse that you give yourself time to imagine and dream of the possibilities that could fill in the empty space.
With Venus in Gemini forming a square to Vesta, we are faced with a challenge to integrate our varied, plentiful and ever-changing security & comfort needs with our needs to let go of the soul-crushing limitations within our devotional work…limitations that we likely placed upon ourselves to adhere to an idealistic and puritanical understanding of our purpose. In other words, your approach towards (what you have deemed as) sacred may be the stick in your gear and preventing you from authentically connecting with others. Don’t be afraid to let something go (or to sacrifice) for someone or something that you love, or that will bring you more security in the long term.
6.28.22 Venus sextile Jupiter 7’19’ - This transit ties in with Venus square Vesta, and may signify an opportunity of expanding your awareness of the good and the generous relationships in your life. This transit may help you gain perspective of the long term benefits of exchanging with those who share similar ideas and who believe in forging new paths. Allow yourself to indulge in your relationships - share something with a friend or loved one, and be grateful for whatever you may receive. Though, be careful with overindulgence - this aspect can make you feel like all is well, all is beautiful, and all is possible…which is great, unless you’re overlooking the very real work that is involved in maintaining beauty and new ventures. You may overextend yourself to others as a way to please them and keep things pleasant. It may be difficult saying no to involving yourself in the hopes and plans of others.
