After reclaiming its fighting spirit in Aries, Venus is ready for a spa day. From March 27th to April 30th, the planet of love and beauty re-enters Pisces, the sign of its exaltation — a harbor where Venus feels in its flow and fully resourced. But this homecoming isn’t just a straightforward Hollywood ending, so go easy on the rose petals. Venus is still retrograde in this mutable water sign, where our focus shifts from relearning conflict strategies to retrieving our intuitive powers. If you’re feeling burnt out from the fierce inner scrutiny you braved when Venus stationed retrograde in fiery Aries, give yourself space to process the hard-edged truths you’ve uncovered. Spend extra time savoring that algae face mask. And extend yourself boatloads of compassion if this underworld journey has depleted your energy — or frayed your last shred of patience.
Venus’ return to the sign of the unabashed romantic is an opportunity to reinforce any boundaries that still feel porous as you reconnect with the muses within. But a word of caution: Escapist tendencies or daydreams about “the one that got away” can distract from our inner work when Venus is retrograde in idealistic Pisces. We can also get swept away by crushes, budding friendships, or mesmerizing new art projects without registering how far we’ve drifted from the shoreline. And yes, this is a time when old flames and frenemies can slither out of the woodwork and lure you with even more elaborate promises than before. Rally the support of your group chat before sending a text you might regret the morning after.
Though the temptation of total immersion may be strong, it can quickly tip into self-abandonment if we’re not careful. When Venus stations direct on April 12th, matters of the heart will feel less murky, but it’s worth giving yourself time to integrate the pearls of wisdom that have risen to the surface. Over the coming weeks, remember what Venus retrograde taught you in assertive Aries, and interrogate moments when you lose yourself in another person’s agenda instead of prioritizing your own needs. Whether you take a time-out to regulate your system or vet new friends and lovers with probing questions about shared values, don’t be afraid to burst some bubbles with the tools and tactics that help you feel emotionally safe. The connections that honor your deep wells of sensitivity aren’t boring; they’re the most enchanting of all.

Venus in Leo is sass and sequin, bravado and big hair, grace and grandiloquence. This season though? Venus’ strut through Leo from June 26th/27th to July 21st has the air of a boxing ring walk.
With draconian Saturn in Aquarius, flag-burning Uranus in Taurus, and aggressively-maned Mars in Leo, the fixed signs are the site of a major gridlock. When Venus waltzes into the fray at the end of June, it’s not clear whether the “lesser benefic” comes bearing bandaids or boxing gloves.
On the one hand, Venus wants to soothe and reconcile. On the other: between Venus’ opposition to Saturn on July 6th, its square to Uranus on July 8th, and its conjunction with Mars on July 13th, Venus has its own fetters to wriggle free from. In a proud sign like Leo, hitched to an inflamed temper like Mars, Venus sets off a few fireworks.
Venus rules love, pleasure and beauty, and these parts of your life could get thorny as Venus presses through these trials. Ego reactions and diva moments will abound, but they may not help diffuse tension. When it comes to your relations, your art, and your pleasures, see if you can harness this heat toward constructive or life-affirming channels.
The following horoscopes highlight how Venus in Leo will bestow bottle rockets and roses in your own life. For more on Venus in the sky, and in your chart, download the CHANI app.

The following horoscopes were written by Eliza Robertson.
Venus in Leo beams the Glamlite on you and your creative quests. ‘Tis the season to post lip-syncing TikToks, to dust the cobwebs off your manuscripts-in-progress, and to boogie like a Bird of Paradise in a courtship dance.
With Venus pitching into the fixed-sign fray with Saturn, Uranus and Mars, however, you may need to don your wrestling singlet. While Venus’ opposition to Saturn on July 6th brings activities to a crunching halt, the tripwire from Uranus two days later will upend business as usual.
Mars in Leo will add heckling and lighter fluid, and when Venus joins the red planet on July 13th, things could get flammable. (Though in your house of pleasure, this heat might be steamily redirected.)
Expect creative blocks; expect lovers’ squabbles; expect bombast, and expect to blaze through anything holding you back.
As Venus smolders into Leo on June 26th/27th, your ruling planet gets rebranded. The grace-spinning, rose-plucking, chocolate-nibbling paramour of the solar system swaps its pearls for a marabou boa. Venus in Leo doesn’t do understatement — especially not while dancing in the crosshairs with Mars, Saturn and Uranus.
While Leo may bring a light touch (and touch of gloss) to family or home matters, things could get sticky around July 6th, when Venus opposes schoolmarm Saturn in your career sector.
Maybe a boss is breathing down your neck, or maybe you’re frothing with your own urgency of what needs to get done. Work and home demands could feel inimical right now, stretching you in opposite directions.
When Venus squares off with Uranus two days later, there’s a chance you’ll want to smash through any barriers or glass ceilings keeping you stuck. While you’ve likely been experiencing this rebel energy for a while, Venus in Leo will lend you the sass and spunk to launch your own pièces de résistance.
Venus cruises Leo from June 26th/27th to July 21st, blazing your news feeds with all the hottest gossip. Whatever writing, speaking or learning ventures you tend on the side, Venus polishes your words with gold-tongued charisma.
Starting around July 6th, Venus saunters into the ring with Saturn, Uranus and Mars in the fixed signs. Not just there for eye candy, Venus blows gold dust and chili powder onto the melee. On the one hand, your exchanges may need this comic relief. On the other: words remain charged and barbed.
Whatever spikes get exposed in your communications, Venus wears them on a leather collar. The words you hurl will linger after the smoke clears; be judicious about which social media bin fires you wade into.
The planet of love and adornment will flame through Leo from June 26th/27th until July 21st, dusting off your costume jewelry and gold trinkets. Leo represents your treasure chest and piggy bank: the corner of your chart where you earn and splurge.
Under normal circumstances, Venus wants you to treat yourself with all the sparkle and splendor you can rationalize to your monthly budget. This season though, the circumstances are far from “normal.”
Starting around July 6th, Venus will surf into the turbulence of Mars, Saturn and Uranus in fixed signs. This is Part II of this year’s gnarliest astrology, and Venus arrives at the ring, wrists taped and ready to rumble. For you, the fracas could manifest as tension between what’s yours and what you share with other people.
Venus will collude with hot-headed Mars on July 13th, goading you to roll high. Meanwhile Saturn, the IRS auditor of the season, glowers from the other side of the sky. Risks could come with a hefty reality check. This is a time to dream wild, but sleep on any major decisions, especially if they concern your savings.
While the sun is always your greatest accessory, the glow that surrounds you just got more honeyed. From June 26th/27th – July 21st, Venus will swan through Leo, fluffing your mane or peacock feathers. ‘Tis the season to play dress-up, take selfies as a devotional act, and get shameless with your adornments.
However, this isn’t your usual golden hour. Starting around July 6th, Venus will slip into the scrimmage between Mars, Saturn and Uranus in fixed signs. On the one hand, Venus may offer an analgesic balm for the bruises garnered so far. On the other: Venus in Leo is no demure damsel, and that balm may turn to habanero sauce.
As Venus and Mars intertwine around July 13th, you are the throne of significant heat. Watch your ego reactions, especially in dynamics you share with others. With the current astrology, you can expect your crown to get jostled. The test is to respond with tact, if also firmness. Compassion, if luminous self-respect.
From June 26th/27th until July 21st, Venus pussyfoots through the corner of your chart you tend to keep shielded behind a silk screen. Venus in Leo is effulgent, slinking up to the party in cat eyes and gold lamé. For you, the silk screen diffuses this Leo light, but it provides the ideal conditions for shadow play.
The fixed signs have been highly charged of late, and while this tension reaches your chart from off-center, the pressure could have you tossing and turning. On the one hand, Venus offers a soothing ointment, hushing the inner static long enough for you to catch a catnap. On the other, Venus may reach the end of this period with its mane extensions singed.
The thoughts churned up likely stem from your own mechanisms of self-interference, rather than your environment. That doesn’t make the turbulence any easier to subdue, but self-flagellating only worsens the problem.
Instead, get regal about your personal care regime. Pamper yourself. Neutralize the unhelpful thoughts with radical acts of self-love.
Venus mooches into Leo from June 26th/27th to July 21st, spattering honey and hot sauce onto your friendships and community dynamics. Venus in Leo tends to favor flash over self-effacement, and this could be a time to make a statement with friends, showing up to the parade or protest with extravagant papier-mâché props.
While the dress code for Venus in Leo is always Fabulous, this season, Venus dons a cape and superhero spandex. The first showdown will be with straitlaced Saturn around July 6th, instilling friction between your personal pleasures and the ways you connect with your covens and social groups.
When Venus catches up to Mars on July 13th, dynamics with friends could feel extra prickly. Tread gently around this time. Be soft to yourself and other people. Sometimes thorns only exist to protect things of great beauty; consider the rose, for example.
Venus will shimmy into Leo on June 26th/27th, adding both grace and gumption to your professional life. When it comes to balancing career with home and relationships, you may feel like you’re dancing on pigeon spikes. While Venus will lend you radiance, drawing others to your glow, the fixed signs remain a site of turbulence.
These growing pains will recur all year, but they could feel pronounced around July 6th when Venus opposes Saturn. If presented with a choice between pleasure and duty, or pride and humility, consider whether this dichotomy is a false one.
You’ll have to make choices, of course, but this is only Part II of an ongoing story. Preserve your energy. Mete out your trail mix and dehydrated stew packets for the months ahead. But also: don’t be ashamed to satisfy your needs in the current moment.
Venus flashes into Leo on June 26th/27th, lighting sparklers in the corner of your chart that rules intellectual expansion. Whether you’re sharing ideas with friends, mentors, or academic committees, Venus sprays a little splash and sparkle on your presentations, goading you to flaunt your knowledge.
Venus represents the principle of attraction, and in ordinary circumstances, this transit may lure new teachers, traditions or adventures from the gold mosaic. All of this remains possible, but your relationship with wisdom traditions, and their keepers, is going through a trial by fire at the moment.
Bombast will be pervasive and highly contagious. Ask subversive questions, but remember to apply the same healthy skepticism to your own adamant beliefs.
On June 26th/27th, Venus slides into Leo, gilding your collaborations and joint-ventures. Taken on its own, Venus sweetens the deals in this area, offering a gold nib fountain pen for you to sign on dotted lines. However, planets don’t tend to operate on their own.
Venus’ tour through Leo will be studded with interference from Mars, Saturn and Uranus in the fixed signs. Around July 6th, your urge to hitch yourself to another person in love or business may stir up old fears around scarcity or independence.
Committing yourself to a union requires you to relinquish some personal freedom. If you’ve learned self-reliance as a mode of self-defense, trusting someone else with your love, resources, or security, can feel sacrificial.
And it is, in a way. But it’s also the birth of something new. Something shared. Something you can’t control. Like a rare-blooming orchid that sprouts under the most finicky conditions, that vulnerability is what makes it so precious.
Venus enters Leo on June 26th/27th, planting sunflowers in the corner of your chart that rules love and besottedness. Now, Venus is no doe-eyed princess — not in Leo, and not with Saturn, Mars and Uranus duking it out from the fixed signs.
Starting with an opposition to Saturn on July 6th, Venus appears ringside with a quiver of arrows. The question remains: are the arrowheads laced with love potion or poison?
As Venus sidles up to Mars on July 13th, it could be a little of both. On the one hand, dynamics could get steamy between you and your paramours. On the other: you’ll need to practice fire safety to avoid spontaneous combustions.
All this applies to your platonic and professional partnerships too. If your accomplices feel a little testy right now, don’t force the issue. The most compassionate response may be to give each other thick margins of space.
Venus scooches into Leo on June 26th/27th, reminding you to add pleasure to your work and health regimes. With Mars also in Leo for the last few weeks, a fire has been kindled under your rump, propelling you to complete your daily tasks.
Whatever deadlines you’re bumping against, you may feel unceremonious urgency, even if you’re not sure where the momentum is headed. Venus reminds you to take that movement break, to snack on something that brightens your tongue, and to adorn your office with flowers or cheering colors.
This season, Venus will need your help. Caught between a despotic mountain goat and an unruly cannon, the planet of love and pleasure has seen better hair days. Anxious or fearful thinking could get activated at this time, and it will be harder (and all the more crucial) to practice self-care.
To interrupt the pattern: pamper yourself relentlessly. Have a stay-at-home spa day. Eat something ambrosial. Wear fabrics or ensembles that make you feel like a god/dess.
Venus gets cozy in Cancer from June 2nd through June 26th. Right away, the planet of loving devotion makes a tender trine to Jupiter and the cup of sweet satisfaction runs over. Pleasure and wishes-come-true pour forth in what is one of the most delicious aspects of the year.
Next, on June 12th and 21st respectively, Venus mingles with the outer planets Uranus and Neptune inviting otherworldly notions to this otherwise domestic affair. Bonds turn electric and fantastic as Venus leaves the door open to far out possibilities.
Venus wraps up her stay in Cancer with an opposition to Pluto, the planet of shadow and obsession, on June 23rd. This is quicksand territory. Loving the muddy versions of ourselves is the task.
With the following horoscopes, make a heartfelt wish, flirt with the farfetched and journey deep within to embrace your own alluring power.

Your Venus in Cancer horoscopes are meant to be read as inspiration. If you know both your rising sign and sun sign, please read both horoscopes. You’ll know which one resonates more for you from week to week. Take what works for you, and leave the rest. If you want to share this work, please credit the source by quoting it and providing a link to this post and website. Thank you for your support and for spreading the work around. We really appreciate it and you. The following horoscopes were written by Thea Anderson.
When Venus glides through Cancer, look for love in all the right places — the ones you call home. Make a wish for your best case scenario living situation, because your current residence could become just that. Decorate, adorn and celebrate your abode. Cradle the loving vibes like a newborn kitten but maybe say no to bringing home strays. When Venus melts into a puddle of wistful romance, be sure to save a little bit of TLC for yourself.
On June 23rd, see where you’d be properly served by exploring watery caverns of the past. When you think about it, familial relationships predate our physical birth. Open your heart to those lineages. What’s revealed through tradition and ancestor wisdom calls on you to venture further along your roots of origin. In this case, your flashlight is your heart.
Fondness and affection for your local community overflow when Venus settles into Cancer. Exchanges with shopkeepers, neighbors, and BFFs become sweet as sugar over the next 3ish weeks. In fact, these interactions could become a full-on candy fever dream and a part of you wants to keep it going.
The trick is to exist with one foot in this river of delights while the other is planted firmly on solid ground. By June 23rd, the consequences of the sugar rush bring an aha moment. So as not to crash, look deeply into the shadow, the truth that needs to be brought to the forefront. Remember, you’ve got agency over which rabbit holes you tumble down.
When Venus waltzes into Cancer, you’ll be feeling the love when it comes to material comforts and treasured belongings. Opportunities to receive bonus income flow in and the bounty is truly a blessing. This open door directs the resources straight to you and you’ll be feeling shored up and echoing many thanks.
You may be swept up in the sentimentality of your prized possessions because for you, an antique mirror is more than just a pretty bauble. If you find yourself caught in a daydream loop of all the fancy things at your disposal, check in around June 23rd.
Materiality and spirituality aren’t divorced from each other — rather, your good fortune positions you to reverberate gratitude for all things close to your heart.
Mirror mirror on the wall…. When Venus enters Cancer, the planet of attraction shines an enchanting spotlight on you. In the beginning of June, you’ve got permission to put on the rose-hued glasses and see where possibilities for pleasure — romantic or not — abound. Embrace all the trappings that make you feel in-your-skin.
Allow the heart to swell to great proportions as long as you can remember where the line is when it comes to giving yourself away to passions. On June 23rd, investigate where you might benefit from taking care of self, body and mind first and foremost. Your power multiplies as you prioritize yourself and create a sustainable practice of self love.
Sweet loving care is waiting in the wings when Venus enters Cancer. The planet of union and affection is strolling through the part of your chart that retains mystery and secrets. Keeping it interesting, if you will. You could inadvertently imprint on your admirers, causing them to form cute attachments.
The nurturing affection that stirs beneath the surface unfolds when you can make time to turn your phone off, unplug, and sit in silence. Cherish the away-time to connect to the blessings.
Things get a little Beauty and the Beast on June 23rd when Venus contends with Pluto. Merge the two principles of love and shadow for a deeply powerful combination. Who knows what can transform from undesirable to desirable?
Cozy up to your admirers and adoring fans because your crew has you feeling majorly taken care of. When Venus enters Cancer, the planet of adoration will have you relishing amorous connections to those in your crowd. It’s not that you need the masses to fawn over you. Rather, you value the sort of bond that you can foster over time from seedling to mother oak.
Boundaries among your affinity groups may get hazy if you allow small slights to add up without being addressed. By June 23rd, repressed feelings crescendo as Venus opposes Pluto. Have you had your fill? Trust, commitment, consistency, the ability to work through the mud and mire of intimate exchanges — these are the principles that transform neutral acquaintance to close fellowship.
There’s no time to be bashful when Venus enters Cancer and turns the adoring gaze to your work and career. If you’ve spent the last few weeks tenderly fiddling behind the scenes, just wait until people fall in love with your vision in presentation mode. Heartfelt praise reinforces why you’re so devoted to your endeavors. Capitalize on the recognition and appreciation by seeing what fantastic heights you can attain.
Expanding beyond the protective confines of your cocoon can reveal old trepidations about what it means to display your passion. And yet, confronting these shadowy fears, showing them compassion and tenderness, can transform them into good fuel. Caring for the rose of your work means withstanding the prick of a thorn.
When Venus steps into Cancer, you’re invited to embark on pilgrimages of the heart. Fall in love with your studies, travels, and wisdom pursuits all over again. In the beginning of June, you’re flooded with prospects and possibilities in a way that is refreshing and replenishing.
On June 23rd, turn your attention to the churning bend of the river where things get a bit murky. The poet Emily Dickinson asks “Have you got a brook in your little heart,” and therein lies the answer. Be willing to follow the brook to wherever it may lead.
When Venus enters Cancer, you look fondly upon the assets of a collaborator or partner. Thanks to important bonds, you’ve got a sparkly pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The sharing and blending between both sides produce a recipe that you could never have concocted by going it alone.
The love stirred here spills over, soaking through boundaries that you may want in place when it comes to the territory of shared stuff. When that happens, particularly on June 23rd, how can you sort through the junk drawers of partnership? Deep cleaning is often far more emotional and difficult than we anticipate. Confront the nostalgia, feel the memories, then decide whether to cherish or chuck it.
When Venus enters Cancer, the apple of your eye has you seeing hearts and stars. What prime relationship are you hopelessly devoted to? It’s here that you’ll feel a deepening connection, particularly in the beginning of June. Welcome the pleasure and spiritual alignment that’s born from your key union.
On June 23rd, love and partnership get intense. The Florence Nightingale effect warns us of how easy it is to fall for someone simply because they need our care. What if both sides of the arrangement meet each other with their cups already full?
When Venus enters Cancer, the planet of love cozies into the area of your life that has to do with work, health and processes. What’s not to love here? The engine of your routine deserves to be held too. Gifts of tender support are the right maintenance. If you have an animal familiar, it’s a great time to care for them and enjoy that bond.
On June 23rd, tend to the dark and dusty corners that usually get ignored on the daily. You may need to roll your sleeves up, but this sort of work and attention is ultimately a form of self-care.
When Venus enters Cancer, the planet of love and sweetness plants the seeds of creation in fertile ground. Write love poetry, watch RomComs, and allow feelings of amore to lead the way. You can swim deep here, washing all your passion projects in blessed creative waters.
As you dote on your darlings, notice what calls for more caretaking. Inherent with birthing new creations is the responsibility to them as they mature in the world. When sea turtles hatch, they must embark on a treacherous journey to safety. And they are well served by it. If you love something, give it the same chance to thrive.
Venus has entered Gemini, which means it’s time to flirt, unabashedly; send selfies to your paramours; write irreverent love songs; add “sapioromantic” to your online dating profile; adorn yourself in paradox; say one thing, do another; read as an act of foreplay.
Venus will flit through Gemini from May 8th – June 2nd, tangoing with a Mercury retrograde and part of eclipse season. The following horoscopes are an invitation to consider where in your life you might invite more play and word-games, where your wit might become your most attractive feature.

Aries & Aries Rising
Venus in Gemini revives your relationships with a flurry of memes and inside jokes sliding into your DMs. Your phone, inbox, and calendar are already busier than usual thanks to Mercury’s presence here — Venus joining the party ensures that at least some of the busy-ness is pleasurable.
Make time for loves who want to catch up or exchange playlists. Share your eclectic collection of muses with your people. This would be an inspired time to write poetry, make music, record a podcast, or cross-pollinate with whoever’s in your immediate environment. You might even stumble upon an additional income stream in the process.
Either way, a potent sense of being in the right place at the right time may lock you into step with your community around May 17th-19th. Trust that the inspiration you receive from Venus is part of a larger plan that will be clarified during Mercury’s retrograde in Gemini, which starts on May 29th.

Taurus & Taurus Rising
If you’ve been bored with what you have to bring to the table, Venus in Gemini will enamor you with your talents all over again. With the support of Mercury also in Gemini, Venus beckons with a grab-bag of tricks and reminds you how to be your own muse.
Though you’re under no pressure to monetize any of this, you can put the spell of inspiration to work in practical ways and speed up the flow of exchange that sustains you. You’ll be feeling especially magnetic when Venus meets the North Node on May 17th, amplifying your powers of charm and attraction.
Shortly after, Venus’ stabilizing trine to Saturn on May 19th will help pave the way for more sustainable success. Remember to stay flexible, though — Venus passes the torch to Mercury on May 29th as the latter stations retrograde. The month of June will involve going back over budgets or balance sheets to hammer out the annoying yet crucial details.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
Feel free to flirt with life. As Venus graces you with the cosmic equivalent of a good hair day for the next few weeks, you’re reminded that you control your own capacity for all kinds of play. It also doesn’t hurt if others lavish attention on you, pick you out of a crowd for your babeliness, or tap you in on a plum opportunity — but that’s just the icing on the cake.
Though this transit sprinkles you with fairy dust, it’s possible you’ll feel swept out to sea around May 27th, when Venus squares Neptune and tempts you with a dream or opportunity that might not be entirely what it seems. It may help to contextualize this Venus moment as a glamification before your closeup.
When Mercury stations retrograde on May 29th, the revision process of your tell-all interview begins.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
As Venus twirls through a part of your chart that’s often reserved for the cacophony of thoughts that keep you up at night, at least some of these internal monologues might feel lighter to hold. With Mercury also here, the chatter is loud, but Venus will add a dose of humor that helps you process new insights around your own self-defeating cycles.
Alternatively, it might be a friend or family member whose true motivations are hard to read, especially around May 27th, when Venus squares off with Neptune. Yes, some truths may be sugar-coated around this time. But don’t dismiss the other very real possibility that you’re being invited to deepen your faith by doubling down on love when you could very well run in the other direction.
As for what’s really going on? Mercury’s retrograde in Gemini, beginning May 29th with a conjunction to Venus, will handle the investigation.

Leo & Leo Rising
Your social butterfly wings are primed for action while Venus is in Gemini. With added fuel from Mercury this year, you’ll be especially busy catching up with your community and cross-pollinating ideas between the various groups you’re a part of.
If this spell comes and goes as a moment in time where you simply enjoy the sensation of spinning multiple conversations in the air — excellent. If you’re not feeling totally allergic to the concept of “networking,” this would also be a great time to put yourself out there professionally, or perhaps mingle with some personal goals in mind.
Note that this Venus transit is actually part of the lead-up to Mercury’s retrograde in Gemini, which kicks off on May 29th. Venus is the social lubricant that helps you pull in important connections. Much of June will be about hammering out the details.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
In Gemini, Venus gives you permission to lay it on thick with the charm of your talents and accomplishments. As someone who moves through the world with more humility than most, tooting your own horn may not be something you feel particularly comfortable doing.
Perhaps you usually prefer to let your work speak for itself. Venus can certainly gift you with a swell of public appreciation and recognition during this time, but you might also find yourself in the right frame of mind to zhush up your portfolio and social media presence in order to properly showcase your brilliance.
Assume you’ll have to give it more than one pass after Mercury stations retrograde in the same part of your chart on May 29th. Venus is here to give you some confidence and art direction as you get ready to hammer out the details.

Libra & Libra Rising
As Venus teams up with Mercury in Gemini for the next few weeks, your love affairs begin at your bookshelf. This heady period of bonding with others on the basis of knowledge, philosophy, politics, and metaphysics not only connects you to those who share your values, but also serves as a reenchantment and enlargement of your world.
This might also be a time where you feel curious about the extent to which you’ve been seeking a type of love from other people that can possibly only be found in communion with the divine.
A spiritually transcendent experience will be most likely around May 27th, when Venus squares Neptune, but that doesn’t have to negate your more incarnate, everyday affections. Venus in Gemini is comfortable holding space for paradox, so you can flirt with multiple possibilities.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Venus in Gemini invites you lovingly into the fray of messy interdependencies. When it comes to the complex math of “who owes whom” and “where my stuff ends and your stuff begins,” multiple conflicting truths can coexist.
For instance, grief and debt can be the remainders of great love.
This year though, Venus dances in step with Mercury, which will station retrograde on May 29th. Venus provides the glue and playfulness to help you let down your guard and depend on someone more thoroughly. Mercury will remain after the honeymoon’s over to sort through the details and balance the checkbooks.
You might also find yourself literally reorganizing your finances, perhaps with a little extra sugar that comes your way around May 17th.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
As Venus joins the Gemini party that Mercury just started, prepare to be in full-blast “liking everyone’s posts and replying to everyone’s stories” mode. You’ll have more than enough heartfelt appreciation and sweet nothings to offer to your loves, and you’ll be especially adept at crafting the resonant language your heart wishes to express.
If you’ve been struggling to find the words to tell someone how much they mean to you, these are ideal cosmic conditions for overcoming your writer’s block. Around May 19th in particular, conversations will solidify into a concrete agreement or long-lasting bond.
Assume some aspect of this dialogue will be revisited, however, after Mercury stations retrograde on May 29th. For now, Venus is there to remind you of what you liked about each other in the first place.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
By your very nature, you are prone to wearing multiple hats at work. In fact, you make it look so easy that a lot of your multitasking goes unnoticed beneath your facade of capable cool.
