Mutables are curious and quick to shift gears. Think of a juggler deftly balancing balls in the air. Mutable signs are bright, upbeat, changeable, illuminating. This is the rhythm section–the bass line in your Venus song. I can go into denial around feelings–mine or another’s. I love restaurants and coffee shops–the buzz of chattering people invigorates me.

Sometimes I’m scattered, distracted, indecisive. I enjoy hanging out in my head–which is often too busy to meditate. Following are things that air planets might say: Think of blood circulating through your veins, air moving in and out of your lungs, sound and scents traveling on the wind. Think of a rain forest, teeming with activity, ripe with odors, its green forest leaves busily returning oxygen to the air. Imagination is the control panel that takes us into the invisible world. Use your imagination to make these sensations more vivid. Together they suggest the sensory coordinates to use when dialing in your Venus. The element describes the dominant energy your Venus likes to run. Signs point us to the raw energies that define each sign–the underlying element and mode. Gods are immortal which means we can still find them as the ancients did. The gods appeared as sandstorms, thunder claps, bird song, floods, abundant harvests, calamities, shouts of sorrow and joy. The first astrologers knew the Gods as the powerful, vibrant and creative play of emotions running through their world. When astrology was a sacred practice, it was understood that life itself, our very bodies, were infused with the divine. The raw energies inside your Gemini Venus Can you feel the depth and intensity of what’s on the surface? Is this “superficial”? Try this brief experiment… if you have a bare arm, run your fingers very lightly on your skin… then run your fingers in the air just above your skin. The worst and most annoying criticism of Venus in Gemini is that she’s superficial. As one Venus-in-Gemini said “I’m totally the receiver in bed, because that’s how I turn my mind off.” Some books say that your Venus is too much in her head to be erotic. They shaped the minds of the men who came to them, hoping to inhale the essence of a true female partner. Talented, hard-working, delicate creatures, they ruled the world more perhaps than even they understood. They lived at the cultural center of their times, inspiring poets and writers, offering not only their beauty and skill at love-making, but the special pleasure of intelligent discussion, knowledge of arts, history, politics, music and dancing. Gatherings at their salons attracted the most educated and powerful. I find inspiration for my feminine expression in the Hetaeras of Greece, the Courtesans of France, the Geishas of Japan. One of your Venus sisters instinctively understood this when she identified her role models: She especially loves to meet her intellectual match. She’s capable of stimulating conversation, knowledgeable about politics, history, and the arts … she’s a delicate creature who rules the world-because she shapes the minds of the men who come to her–to breathe in what a true female partner can be. She (or he) makes them feel special, bright, and interesting!Īs one of your Venus sisters made clear, Venus in Gemini is a Geisha and a Courtesan: Not only is she skilled in love-making, she’s educated. A good flirt has the gift of putting others at ease. I had to learn that flirting is not just batting your eyelashes and having confidence in being girly. But I discovered that she was often too sensitive to rejection to flirt. And that’s easy for Gemini!īefore my research project, I thought, along with many astrologers that Venus in Libra was the best flirt. That’s the secret to successful flirting: Just be genuinely interested in the other person. If I were to award my own set of exaltations and rulership, I would give special status to Venus in Gemini… because she’s got an ability to do the one thing most of the other signs had difficulty with: flirting! The reason Gemini Venus can flirt so easily is because of her great curiosity. But your Venus is one of my favorite placements for the Goddess. It is so difficult… I hope I can work on this. Right now I love someone I haven’t seen in two years and yet I live with someone else who I also love. It’s a problem that I can’t really like just one person. I felt very happy-free, able to enjoy different things, exploratory, mature, like it was all one great adventure. not the best strategy, though there was a period when I was dating two or three different men in one week. My relationships have been scattered, skipping from one person to another, not developing roots with many people. The perfect lover would know I like being surprised with change. Below is an exce rpt from the findings of my Venus research (more info about that here):
