![]() Given the extraordinary time we are living through now, most of us have been forced to hit the pause button and consider exactly how we conduct our lives, who we’ve become and most importantly, do we want to continue living the way we did before Coronavirus? Have you checked in with yourself lately? In the case of Venus, because she rules relationships, this really means RElationship REview, including and especially with our primary relationship: our Self. Enter the “Re” wordsĪs with all interior planet retrograde phases, the Re words are ready for prime time and take precedence. Venus retrograde is reflective and thus deeply psychological. Emerging on the other side of this period, we will know who we are better than we ever did before. Whether it is the story of Jesus’ confrontation by the devil in the desert, or Inanna crossing through seven gates of hell to redeem and own her shadow sister side, the mission remains the same: We are invited to pause and dance with pieces of ourselves we either do not know or acknowledge. Each relates a dark night of the soul we do not associate with Venus. As did Ishtar and Isis, the Babylonian and Egyptian versions of Inanna, all forerunners of Venus. And the Sumerian goddess Inanna descended into hell to meet her wanton sister Ereshkigal. Jesus wandered through the desert for this length of time. That bit about 40 days and 40 nights….sound familiar? Hmmm, yes it does. For 40 days and 40 nights, she reverses gear to mark her shift from super bright evening star to the first to rise before the Sun as morning star. If you know where Gemini occurs in your natal chart, you will find Venus going back and forth across that sector of your life this Spring. She understands the cause and effect of thoughts and speech: that kind words soothe and inspire that insults hurt or do worse that our thoughts affect our emotions, which affect our actions. Venus in Gemini encourages us to be conscious of our thoughts, words, and language. She attracts smart people and wants to be in the thick of their knowledge. She wants to know, engage, discuss, read, write, be informed, and share information. In Gemini, Venus has an intellectual bent. Last, the sign of duality, Gemini the Twins, rules siblings and pairs of any kind. This is also the arena of our immediate environment, our neighbors, neighborhood and community, and the extent to which we are engaged in it. It is the great connector, so ground transportation: cars, buses, trains and the rides we take via these modes. Thus, Gemini rules our rational, conscious mind, what occupies our thoughts presently, in the now, at this very moment. Think of a radio, which Gemini rules, giving and receiving messages constantly. It is the Information Gatherer in Chief, along with disseminator of said information. The air sign of intellect, Gemini rules the mental realm: thoughts, language, communication, speech, cause and effect…no small thing.
