VENUS ENTERS GEMINI ON JULY THE 4TH. I love talking to you!

Venus the planet of love and beauty leaves its home sign of Taurus, and after conjuncting Uranus on the 3rd enters carefree and bubbly Gemini on the 4th of July. Gemini is a sign ruled by Mercury, but unlike calculated serious and methodical Virgo, here in Gemini Mercury shows off his fun and childish side.

Because Venus governs relationships and money, here with Venus n Gemini we see a shift from a preoccupation with stability and financial security (Venus in Taurus), to wanting to have fun with friends and siblings, talking and gossiping all night about some recent drama and to spend money more carefree. Relationships tend to get more superficial and we get bored pretty easy with the same people. If you are single, this isn't a good time to start a serious relationship or to commit to something long-term, but more to date around and meet new people (potential partners and friends). If you are already in a relationship try to have fun with your partner. Go out with a group of friends or colleagues (Mercury in Gemini likes diversity) and be communicative but in a more lighter manner without going into personal or emotional matters.

On the 6 -7th of July Venus sextiles Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries and trines Pluto in Aquarius. Conversations with loved ones, especially romantic partners could go from light hearted and superficial to intense and serious for a short period of time. You could realize on the 6th that maybe the latest gossiping or latest things you spent money on were not that constructive for your life (Saturn) and feel a bit ashamed (Pluto). However, being easy aspects (sextile and trine) no big consequences will follow, just some needed limitation in what you spend or what you say to loved ones and some beneficial self-introspection seeing how Pluto is retrograding.

On July 11th Venus in Gemini begins to square Mars in Virgo. The square perfects itself on the 23rd of July. I mentioned this square in my Mars transits Virgo post.

On the 18th Venus in Gemini makes a sextile to Mercury in Leo. This puts more emphasis on light-hearted but self-confident communication. You might go to a party with friends and brag about how well you have been doing or how you bought that car or that house. If you are writing a book this day is extremely good for inspiration and writing creatively. Then on the 19th the planet that governs this Venus in Gemini, Mercury goes retrograde. Mars transiting Virgo, squaring Venus in Gemini at this time is also ruled by Mercury retrograde. As I said in my Mars transits Virgo post there will be a lot of miscommunication happening especially with friends and romantic partners, possibly verbal conflicts with that Mars square.
