Your Venus In Gemini Horoscope, According To Your Zodiac Sign
On June 8, voluptuous Venus, celestial cover girl and the cosmos’ very own bachelorette, concludes her boujee vacation via her home sign Taurus, where she indulged in sensual pleasures, and devoured decadent d'oeuvres. After about 30 days reveling in the delights of slow-moving Taurus, Venus will twirl her way into the mischievous sign of the Gemini twins, where the way to her heart is strictly through the mind. Surely, the cosmic darling thrives when traveling through her signs of rulership, (Taurus and Libra) but wherever the goddess of love goes, a butterfly trail of happiness will follow. Pleasure is this celestial deity’s main priority, and it doesn’t matter which of the 12 zodiac signs she’s traveling through either. Granted, there are signs of exaltation and debilitation, as per astrology, but the goddess of love never ceases to bring us closer to our five senses. Venus is a cosmic dazzler, and whatever she touches becomes enchanted by her seductive lure.
As you probably already know, Venus is the planet of love, beauty, relationships, and pleasure. The goddess rules everything related to that which brings us joy and harmony. She is the feminine energy that is alive within us all, and she holds the key to our happily ever after. Luscious Venus is the perfume we wear, and the scented oils we massage on our skin after a routine bubble bath. She is our fashion aesthetic, favorite hairdo, and the fresh manicure we look forward to every month. Venus is the queen of our desires, values, spending habits, and she also has everything to do with our seduction style. Bow chicka wow wow. Ever wonder how Venus makes a cameo in your birth chart? Fun fact: Whenever you flirt with someone, it’s compliments of Venus herself. So what happens when the goddess of ooh la la travels through a mutable air sign like Gemini? The first thing you want to consider is the divine order of the zodiac wheel, along with the three modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable.
In the sign of sensual Taurus, Venus finds harmony in luxury, and all things overpriced. Given the slow-moving bull’s fixed earth, Venus in Taurus is naturally possessive and overindulgent. What Venus wants, Venus gets. So it’s no wonder she rules a comfort-seeking sign like Taurus, huh? In the end, the more beautiful and decadent, the more it becomes an object of her desires. Remember, the element earth is a symbol of abundance, and that which we are able to manifest. It is material, substance, and anything we can experience through the five senses. The element air, on the other hand, is a symbol of the mind. It is the mental energy we inhale on a daily basis. And in the case of Gemini’s mutable air, it is the way we use our minds to get the results we need. See the difference? So let’s combine the essence of irresistible Venus with Gemini’s mutable mischief, shall we? If your guess is mentally-stimulating conversations, you’re half right.
I typically refer to Venus as the goddess of sparkling rosé, but the effervescence in the heart of champagne is all things Gemini: bubbly, fizzy, refreshing, and never a dull moment. When Venus enters Gemini, we are suddenly greeted with a breath of fresh air. Gemini is a brilliant conversationalist, and an incredible problem solver, so this gifts us with the opportunity to experience pleasure in a number of different ways. If I had to pick one word for Venus in Gemini’s must-have list, it would be variety. Options are a must when the goddess of love is gossiping through fickle Gemini. And this airy, light-hearted, schmoozing is instantly reflected onto our relationships. But there’s a catch. While our desires tend to be all the colors of the rainbow during this transit, our desire to commit to anything serious takes a back seat. Gemini prefers to keep things flirty and friendly, given the colorful array of options that exist all around us. And the same goes for our spending habits. If you splurged on an expensive designer handbag during Venus in Taurus, chances are you’ll save that money for a rainy day, and go the nearest library instead. For Venus in Gemini, experiencing pleasure is totally mental, so a new set of some retro-iridescent stationary will do. Mind games are fun, too. But in the words of Lana Del Rey, make sure to dance in the ballroom of your mind.
Here’s what Venus in Gemini has in store for you, according to your zodiac sign:
Aries: You’re so clever, Aries. And with loveable Venus gossiping via your third house of communication and immediate network, your words are as persuasive as ever.

But for those of you coupled, don’t be afraid to spice things up with your SO during this time. Love letters and sexy scavenger hunts are welcome, compliments of Venus in Gemini. *Transit tip: Communicate before, during, and after sex.*
