Every now and then, you are reminded that each of the other people in your life know something you don’t know.
The 2016 Venus in Gemini is that reminder.
Of course, the other side of that is…you may know something that each of the people in your life may not be aware that you know.
In other words, you can learn from them, and they can learn from you.
That’s what this 2016 Venus in Gemini experience is all about. Beginning at 2:45a PDT on Tuesday, 24th May 2016, in your partnerships and one-on-one interactions of all kinds, you get to be both a student and a teacher. You and your partner get to learn from each other.
Of course, this exchange of knowledge, information, and insight works best when both parties are open to learning from each other. Challenges arise when one person thinks they should know more than the other, or when one person believes they don’t know enough to speak up or speak out. When there is intellectual or communicative imbalance between two people or two parties, Venus in Gemini can be a rough road to travel.
The key during these next 3.5 weeks is to keep your ears, eyes, and mind open to everyone you interact with. The information you are seeking may come from sources you least expect, not because the sources are actually surprising, but because you may not think or believe them to know what you need to know. And you may be surprised to find out that you may be able to contribute to them in kind.
Venus in Gemini is a time to focus on the mental-intellectual-communicative aspects of your one-on-one relationships of all kinds. Logic and reason will dominate your relationships for the next 3.5 weeks. If engaging in conversation and/or asking for what you want or need do not come easily to you, you may in for some really difficult experiences. Participation in the exchange is crucial for you to give and get what you need to during this time.
This 2016 Venus in Gemini period will teach you, for better or worse, that a narrow mind keeps a mind and a life narrow. So keep your mind open, and enjoy the experience of exchanging information and insight. Together, you all may be able to grow faster and better through your intellectual affair than either one of you could have grown without the interaction(s).
Through the intellectual exchanges of ideas and insights and information, new perspectives and ideas may emerge, proving that two minds working and/or playing together may sometimes be better than one.
Here are 2016 Venus in Gemini’s upcoming transits:
Gemini Venus opposite Sagittarius Mars Retrograde, most exact on 24th May – Venus isn’t even in Gemini a full 24 hours before it’s doing its thing. Right off the bat, Mars Retrograde is triggered into responding aggressively to Venus’ intellect. Mars in Sagittarius acts upon what it believes to be its “superior knowledge”, but thanks to its retrograde motion, it gets confronted when Venus in Gemini comes in and gives it a taste of its own know-it-all medicine. As result, you may find others aggressively trying to prove that they know better than you…or you may find yourself trying to prove your knowledge and wisdom to others.
Gemini Venus square Pisces Neptune, most exact on 2nd June – Your partner may be bursting your bubble, giving you facts which don’t align with your idealistic vision. Their logical perspective and objective analysis may crush your inspiration. It may be difficult for you to find a workable truce between your mind and your spirit around this time.
Gemini Venus opposite Sagittarius Saturn Retrograde, most exact on 3rd June – There may be a battle of wills, but the stronger will is the one most aligned with their true nature. The one who can move their agenda forward authentically gets the win. The one who is being more inauthentic may find themselves at a stand-still, unable to progress.
Gemini Venus square Virgo Jupiter, most exact on 4th June – If you don’t really know, you don’t get to grow. You may be challenged to learn more than you believe you already know so you can progress forward or upward on your path.
Gemini Venus conjunct Gemini 6 Sun, most exact on 6th June – If you’ve got something to say, today’s the day to say it. Authentic voices reap rewards, and those who use their soapboxes most effectively will likely garner the support they need to follow through on their spoken intentions.
Gemini Venus sextile Aries Ceres, most exact on 9th June – The information and insights which come from your one-on-one interactions with others help you recognize your individual value and worth. You begin to realize that you – as your unique self – can bring something to this world that no one else can.
Gemini Venus sextile Aries Uranus, most exact on 12th June – Once you allow yourself to see the intellectual value and potential of your one-on-one interactions with others, you may find yourself eager to learn or exchange more information…information your current community may not have. Your need for a larger quantity and/or higher quality of intellectual exchange leads you to seek and find new communities and networks which accept you for your unique self-expression – groups which accept and welcome you just as you are.
Gemini Venus square Pisces Chiron, most exact on 13th June – Your partner(s) either helps you heal your emotional-spiritual wounds, or twists the knife and makes them worse. Either way, they challenge you to see your wounds objectively to recognize how much the pain may be (or may have been) influencing the way you think and speak about yourself and your relationships.
Venus enters the sign of Cancer on Friday, 17th June 2016.
