Here's what I've found about Venus in Gemini:

If you have Venus in Gemini in your birth chart, when you go into "flirt mode" you tend to "act to attract" in some of the following ways:

Sweet-talker. You have a way with words. You're very good at flirting and teasing, and can charm or cajole anyone with that "silver tongue". You might also be tempted to be devious and "speak with forked tongue" (as the Native American Indians used to say). You are adept at adapting your style to suit the seduction.

Witty. When interested, you can turn into a quick-witted and clever conversationalist, and you love witty banter and the inviting innuendo. Double meanings and puns are the tricks of your trade when in "flirt mode". You are perceptive of details and notice the response you are getting, so you can swiftly switch style to sustain interest.

Raconteur. You can relate endless stories about people or events or experiences to arouse the interest of one you desire.

Writer. You like to write notes, poems, or long letters to the object of your desire. You may even send love notes by fax, or a romantic email greeting card. Internet chat rooms may also suit your style of flirting with written communcations.

Phone-mate. You love long romantic phone calls, or Internet meeting-by-modem (and may even enjoy "phone sex").

Reader. You love to share or give books, and to discuss books or ideas. You could shamelessly flirt in a book store or library or lecture hall.

The old stereotype is that Venus here is indicative of fickleness in love. If the lot of marriage is here or Gemini is in the 7th house, then this may be the case because Gemini is bicorporeal. This bicorporeal nature tends to multiply the instances of whatever signification is expressed. In any case, variety in social life and romantic interests is usually supported, which also means that these individuals have a harder time settling down. These natives think that smart is sexy. If also angular, there is usually an interest in music and poetry.

In a diurnal chart, there is a greater attraction to public life. Connections between people are not as deep but tend to be more numerous. This is because the heat and dryness of the day creates distinctions in relationships asserting appropriate boundaries. Also, the heat creates higher levels of activity in social circumstances.

If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. There are others here much more knowledgable than me when it comes to interpritation.

I do know that Venus in Leo suits me just fine. As does Libra (I have 5 plantets including the sun in Libra.) My moon is in Cancer, and this also suits my personality... as does Gemini Rising (I dare you to try to out talk me on the phone ). There are many many factors to be taken into consideration.

Can you find out your birthtime? At least as close as possible? I bet that might clear up a lot of confusion.

I'm glad Lalalinda posted. I'm in a litte over my head with this post , but I didn't want to leave you hanging. It can be frustrating to post something and wait forever for someone to reply.

Sun in Taurus is steady and calm with boundaries, Venus in Aries is emotional and warm, both conflict but the Venus attracts something different than what the Sun is used to, offering the Sun a chance to grow and change.

Your Venus in Gemini is giving your Sun a different perspective in terms of your relationships, so you will attract people with a strong third house, we all learn lessons from our relationships.

I think you may be able to tell which ascendant you are, if you give the possibilities here it's easy for all of us to analyze.

Can you give what you think are the closest ascendants with the times you gave?

My Venus in Gemini's flighty, superficial character is kept in check by my Pisces moon in the 6th house (a rather serious placement for a sensitive, ruminating moon) and grounded by my fixed Aqua Mars (fortunately not in an ultra-serious position - 5th house - so I still love to have fun, even if it means by myself). I have serious problems with expressing my Venus side due to a nasty conjunction with my Saturn, too, so that sometimes I am less spontaneous and carefree as then my Gemini Venus would like to be. Also, I have a Sag Neptune in the 3rd house opp my Venus which causes me to be a bit unrealistic, daydreamy, idealistic and habitually noncommital about my relationships.

So has this Gemini Venus transit made you feel like "branching out"?

I've had some confusion over my Asc because it's in Taurus at 29.48 degrees, but I never fit that, and then many people see me more of a Gemini Rising, but then that doesn't fit me either. NONE of the Risings do. But when you said that about your aspects to your Merc, I thought I'd look at mine. I have Merc Conj Neptune, so there you go.

And I have a Moon in Cancer in the 3rd House, as well as my 3rd House being ruled by the Moon.

"Venus in Gemini people will try to win over the object of their affection with witty conversation, displaying just how much they "know", and demonstrating their diverse interests. These lovers are playful—some might even call them a tease. They are hard to pin down, and they resist relationships that promise to become too "comfortable". Even those with their Sun in Taurus or Cancer, whose outward demeanor may suggest some reserve and caution, will want their relationships to be stimulating and full of conversation with Venus in Gemini."

the last sentence says it all, and I AGREE 100%.

I can be hard for others to pin down what sign(s) I am - most people are surprised that I am a Gemini. Due to a prepondence of mutable signs, I can "appear" in many different ways, given the situation. I get mistaken for nearly every sign except Aries or Leo, because I'm too reserved and generally not pushy (although I do have my bossy moments ). I really see my exterior persona being a kaleidoscope of my Gemini Sun and Mercury (which are conjunct), the "light/compassionate side" of my Pisces Moon, plus Virgo Rising, Aqua Mars and Libra Uranus (which is in 1st house and trine my Mars and Sun/Merc). Playing behind the scenes (what people don't see readily) are the "dark/secretive side" of my moon, my Gemini Venus/Saturn conjunct oppo to a Sag Nep/Jup conjuct (talk about a tangled knot! In fact, I think that's what they should call this specific aspect: TANGLED KNOT - opposition of two conjunction of mutable signs. Causes unrelenting contradiction and confusion. LOL). And behind that mess, a Virgo Pluto (my subconscious forces) that is a T-square with my Moon and Sun/Merc.

So when people "get to know" me they usually 1) feel their first impressions were wrong and 2) find I'm constantly surprising them with facets of myself they wouldn't have expected. All very entertaining, but it leaves me feeling like no one ever really knows me. Again, this is the plight of a dominatly mutable chart, since mutable signs are easily influenced and lack direction. In a chart with more fixed or cardinal signs, mutable signs usually follow in suit to those influences, but in my chart, they are the dominant influence (they've got everyone else outnumbered) and often lack clear direction.

So my personality tends to lack clear form and decisive boundaries, and I don't feel so much that I "branch out" but "spill out" or take on this weird, shifting, kaleidoscope/nebulous state of existence, if you know what I mean. If it weren't for my Saturn plaement and my grand trine (ironically with Uranus), I probably would be seriously unstable. Oh wait, I am seriously unstable...nevermind...lol.

It's taken a while for me to understand myself and my chart. At first, when I go nto studying my chart, I ddn't understand myself very well and I thought, "Wait, this is BS 0 I'm not like this." But as I studied astrology more, I began to realize how nothing in a chart is or can be static - everything is in dynamic relationships with everything else in the chart, and the key is seeing the "system" at work together and how each part plays its role. At least now I can say readily that the basics (planets/ASC/houses/aspects) when looked at as a system working does really represent me quite well - it's just I'm not easily broken down into neat three line paragraphs describing this or that side of myself. I doubt anyone else is either.
