Venus in Gemini ♀ 2024

May 23 – June 17, 2024

Venus has been in earth sign Taurus for the last week. Somehow I forgot how fucking stubborn Taurus is, and I’m a Taurus! The sacred cow can be so particular and demanding. We’re learning to turn this heavy energy inward and focus on self-care, nutrition, and mending the collective brokenness between body, spirit, and planet. I hope you can relax and enjoy life right now. I wish you peace and calm.

Things will feel way lighter when Venus spins into Gemini, just a few days after Gemini Season 2024 begins.

Venus rules the heart. In Gemini, the heart first becomes transparent, then opaque, then hidden. Gemini is just as elusive as he is gregarious. The twins stay shrouded, heart protected. The Gemini heart demands both connection and detachment. Balancing these two needs is what will bring us peace.

With Venus in Gemini, the heart vacillates between insatiable nearness and foggy distance. Gemini’s presence is ever fickle, like a cool breeze that starts and stops without warning. In Gemini’s castle of cloud and sparkles, there is always something to be unearthed, something which must be brought out into the sunshine. A cosmic duality must be reconciled, or at least accepted.

When planets transit air signs, life moves quickly here on earth. The mind and heart race ahead uncontrollably. The tricky thing is maintaining honesty with ourselves and others when Gemini has such a strong compulsion to fly away at the first sign of tension. This is the work Venus does in Gemini each year, staying put and facing reality head on.

Those born with Venus in Gemini are complex individuals. One moment they are incredibly charming and affable – quick to laughter, seemingly trustworthy, inviting you willingly into their life like a new bestie – and the next moment enigmatic, aloof, suddenly gone.

How to please both twins at once – the introvert and extrovert, the artist and the warrior, the recluse and the clown – this is the question.

Gemini is the sign of duality and extremity, not equilibrium. We see this in Gemini relationships. Those with Venus in Gemini need to feel either totally superior or totally inferior to others. New friends and partners are idolized, revered, and elevated to superhuman status. The Gemini individual briefly centers their entire life around this person, until it all inevitably comes crashing down. Alternatively, they yearn to be someone else’s idol.

Nothing is more important to Gemini than family and friends, yet Gemini’s social/romantic life tends to fluctuate between dominating and being dominated. To overcome this pattern, Gemini must identify whatever it is that perpetuates this cycle of abandoning his soul to another, then feverishly reclaiming it again and again.

The first day of Venus in Gemini (May 23) coincides with the Full Moon in Sagittarius. Earlier in the day, while Venus is still chilling in Taurus, this planet forms a conjunction to Jupiter in Taurus. This will be a super high energy day. Confidence and physical strength flowing.

May 25: Venus trine Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius + Jupiter enters Gemini! Healing vibes. Tension and anxiety ease. Mind-body-psyche restored.

June 3: Mercury joins the Gemini party 🌈

June 4: Venus conjunct Sun in Gemini + Mercury trine Pluto Rx in Aquarius + Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Gemini. Extremely high energy day! Gold star day! Love & friendship flowing out of the sky. Beautiful & productive.

June 6: New Moon in Gemini 🐝

June 8: Venus square Saturn in Pisces + Mars enters Taurus. Pressure on Saturn makes having a routine difficult. The vibe is thrown off; slow day. The key is just going with it. Remember the basics, like feeding yourself.

June 16: Venus square Neptune in Pisces. Conflict and confusion. All that is hidden comes to light. Mental/spiritual/emotional fatigue.
