N.B. I use whole sign houses. Out of sign aspects are not taken into consideration here. Aspects in ancient astrology are sign-based rather than degree-based, so sextiles/trines occur between planets in signs that are naturally sextile/trine each other, regardless of how far apart they are in that sign. More potent aspects are ones that are closest in degree and ones made by the Sun, Moon and chart ruler.
1-3 aspect aspect type: sextile A 1-3 aspect implies useful/skilled assets
(sextile) of the two or more planets within the area of life concerning the self, identity, body, physical vitality, character/personal status (1st house) and the area of life concerning
the immediate environment, everyday communication (with people in person or on the phone), and how you process these things, neighbourhood and/or sibling matters (3rd house). The planet in the 1st is what you identify and experience regarding self, identity, body, physical vitality and your character/personal status. The planet in the 3rd is what you identify and experience regarding
the immediate environment, everyday communication (with people in person or on the phone), and how you process these things, neighbourhood and/or sibling matters.
Both of these planets are cooperating with each other, and provide the individual with useful and skilled assets that they are able to use successfully and efficiently across two houses, according to the nature of what the planets represent in those houses. The cooperation and mutual harmony that exists between them usually means the more positive manifestations of the planets involved are present for the person to use. Sometimes, however, they can assist the individual negatively by supplying them with energy and assets to make something too easy to do, bringing out their more challenging manifestations. Sextiles in particular, in contrast to the trine, tend to be more conscious parts of a person’s psyche because a person has to develop a conscious awareness of them to use them for maximum effect, unlike the trine that exists more naturally and unconsciously in an individual. This can mean that the sextile can be used creatively, intelligently and manipulatively. The sextile occurs between signs that are of a harmonious element, but not the same element; they aren’t as natural or integrated as trines, but are instead parts that a person has learned to use dynamically and intelligently within themselves to get what they want.
1-5 aspect aspect type: trine A 1-5 aspect implies useful/skilled assets (trine) of the two or more planets within the area of life concerning the self, identity, body, physical vitality, character/personal status (1st house) and the area of life concerning
romance, sexuality, creativity, self-expression, children/the inner child
(5th house). The planet in the 1st is what you identify and experience regarding self, identity, body, physical vitality and your character/personal status. The planet in the 5th is what you identify and experience regarding
romance, sexuality, creativity, self-expression, children/the inner child.
Both of these planets are cooperating with each other, and provide the individual with useful and skilled assets that they are able to use successfully and efficiently across two houses, according to the nature of what the planets represent in those houses. The cooperation and mutual harmony that exists between them usually means the more positive manifestations of the planets involved are present for the person to use. Sometimes, however, they can assist the individual negatively by supplying them with energy and assets to make something too easy to do, bringing out their more challenging manifestations. Trines, in contrast to sextiles, tend to be more unconscious parts of a person’s psyche because they exist naturally between signs in the same element; they do not require active awareness or intelligence to use in a specific way. This means that the trine is very potent, for good or ill. It is so natural and unconscious within someone that it is like breathing; this can be good or bad. The potency can sometimes become out of control with a trine. The trine aids a person to do specific things across the two houses according to the planet significations very quickly and skilfully; this can make the individual appear lucky with whatever these things are.
1-9 aspect aspect type: trine A 1-9 aspect implies useful/skilled assets (trine) of the two or more planets within the area of life concerning the self, identity, body, physical vitality, character/personal status (1st house) and the area of life concerning
travel, new experiences, higher learning, beliefs you hold
(9th house). The planet in the 1st is what you identify and experience regarding self, identity, body, physical vitality and your character/personal status. The planet in the 9th is what you identify and experience regarding travel, new experiences, higher learning, beliefs you hold.
Both of these planets are cooperating with each other, and provide the individual with useful and skilled assets that they are able to use successfully and efficiently across two houses, according to the nature of what the planets represent in those houses.

1-11 aspect aspect type: sextile A 1-11 aspect implies useful/skilled assets (sextile) of the two or more planets within the area of life concerning the self, identity, body, physical vitality, character/personal status (1st house) and the area of life concerning
friendships, groups, societal issues, patrons, public forum (11th house). The planet in the 1st is what you identify and experience regarding self, identity, body, physical vitality and your character/personal status. The planet in the 11th is what you identify and experience regarding
friendships, groups, societal issues, patrons, public forum.

Thank you for your trust in my guidance. But I have already answered many of your divination questions. Please refer to this list and explore as you wish.
If you want to know what it’s like to be loved by a gemini venus, listen to the song “two princes” by the spin doctors. The energy and lyrics of the song capture the venus in gemini vibe perfectly- sweet, playful, but potentially devoted and deep in love.
If you want to call me baby Just go ahead, now And if you like to tell me maybe Just go ahead, now And if you wanna buy me flowers Just go ahead, now And if you like to talk for hours Just go ahead, now
Gemini venus is pretty shameless when it comes to love. They keep their heart on their lips and will say anything to get you. At the same time, they can be completely sincere. It is an irresistible, potentially lethal combination.
I mean, would you be able to turn down the guy singing “two princes”?
Nope. Don’t lie.
But here’s the catch: venus in gemini has a reputation for dishonesty and infidelity.
Like venus in scorpio, if gemini venus doesn’t feel like you’re The One, they will lie and cheat without any qualms. Unlike venus in scorpio, they probably won’t care too much if you cheat on them too. They are the type to get in a relationship just to avoid boredom. The minute you start to bore them, it’s over, whether you realize it or not. They won’t dump you, though. It’s not because they’re scared (though, as a mutable sign, they like to avoid confrontation) but because you don’t even rate the effort.
Yeah, gemini venus is the most likely to pull the fuckboy move of getting you to dump them. They’ll start by ignoring you and brushing you off. If that doesn’t cut it, they’ll blatantly flirt with other people in front of you. If that doesn’t work, they’ll let you catch them cheating. Make no mistake- if you catch a gemini cheating, it’s because they wanted you to.
Regardless, chances are, you’ll be the one to break up with them, which leaves them free of blame and able to start another relationship right away.
Gemini is the sign of duality, and in love, it embodies one of two archetypes: the trickster, or the lovers.
(Historically, the symbol of Gemini was not twins, but a pair of lovers.)
If you’re not The One, Gemini will play you and not give a single fuck. They can’t feel sorry even if they wanted to.
If you are The One, Gemini will approach the relationship with all the innocence, sincerity, and devotion of a young lover. They will say anything to get and keep you.
In this context, Gemini venus combines the fire, passion, and single-mindedness of Aries with the depth and commitment of Scorpio. Gemini will shower you with gifts and put you on a pedestal like Leo and make long-term plans like a Capricorn.
(Each sign carries the energies of the signs that form sextiles and inconjunctions to it. Every sign is unique, but its traits can be created by combining other signs- just like green it its own color, but can be created by mixing red and blue. If you have planets in capricorn, leo, scorpio, and (not or) aries, you may relate strongly to Gemini, even if you have no placements in that sign. Long tangent, but important info!)
As an air sign, Geminis like to be a little unconventional in love. Notice in “two princes” the singer says “if you want to buy me flowers, just go ahead now.” Traditionally, in a hetero courtship, the man buys the woman flowers. Venus in Gemini likes to switch roles and switch back every now and then.
Venus in gemini men may like it if you buy them scarves, flowers, and other “feminine” gifts. He may like to surprise you by cooking and cleaning. Conversely, venus in gemini women may take on traditionally “masculine” tasks like fixing the shower, etc, for her man. Even in same-sex relationships, the venus in gemini person will change roles and perform a variety of tasks for their partner, and expect the same from they. It’s all about variety. This placement also makes it likely for someone to be bisexual and down for anything, especially a threesome.
Gemini venus men tend to be in touch with their feminine side, and the woman may be comfortable with masculine roles. This is a great placement for the type of self-confidence that allows a person to change into anything, and still retain their sense of self.
Personally, I used to side-eye venus in gemini a lot, because of their reputation for deception and ruthless actions in love. I listened to that spin doctors song on repeat, couldn’t shake the feeling that it represented venus in gemini perfectly, and had a huge epiphany.
Now, I think this is one of the best venus placements for finding true love because, like scorpio, it allows for soul-level depth, like capricorn, it prevents you from settling for less than what you deserve, like aries, it allows you to pursue your lover fearlessly, and like leo, it endows you with great confidence and generosity.
I know venus is exalted in pisces, and I understand why, but I feel like venus in gemini should be tied for that position. After all, what better sign for venus to be in, than the sign that is literally symbolized by a pair of lovers?
GRATITUDE and MINDFULNESS EXERCISE | ROSE, THORN, BUD
The main purpose of this fun simple exercise is to help you become more aware of your surroundings and incorporate gratitude into your daily routine.
It will also help you to be mindful when you’re anxious.
To complete the exercise, answer these three questions:
ROSE | Daily High – What was the “high point” of your day?
THORN | Daily Low – What was your “low point” of the day? Importantly, what could you improve upon for next time?
BUD | Tomorrow – What are you looking forward to tomorrow?
By reflecting on the highlights and low points of your day, you start to realize that:
There are always things to be grateful for.
Sometimes things won’t go according to plan and that’s ok.
There are events you can and cannot control. The true wisdom lies in knowing the difference and taking action on those things you CAN control.
There is always room for improvement.
Mindfulness is like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the more developed it becomes.
You can do this exercise with friends, family members or solo, at the end of your day and transition into downtime. If you prefer a ritual in the morning, you can try it when you first wake up and apply it to the previous day’s events.
