I have Venus in Gemini, however, your question is extremely general. You usually get all of the information you're asking for by looking at the whole chart, not just one of the personal planets in a sign.Can you be a more specific as to what you're trying to determine by someone having Venus in Gemini. I have Venus in Gemini in the 12th House. It is sextile Mercury-Saturn and sesquiquadrate Pluto. Also, Venus=Sun/Moon. My Venus tells nothing of my Mom, Dad, hobbies, school or friends. My Venus co-rules the 12th House and rules the 6th house, so you've got my health and workplace, cooperation dynamics. Would you please explain what you're looking for with your question. Thanks.

Hm...I have Venus in Gemini in the 12th.My life as a child was not based on anything academic or intellectual. My parents didn't tell me to do homework, didn't care about my school life, or supported me in those areas for that matter. My parents split when I was 5, then when I turned 8 my dad married my stepmom. My childhood was mostly emotional and tulmutuous and because of the trauma I don't remember much from it. But yeah,....other than the love I received from my stepmom, it was anything but lovely. Oh, and regarding a sibling, my older brother was more like a younger brother...I never felt supported by him and I was the one who took care of him. Taurus/Scorpio/Cancer IP: Logged |

Hmm, I've never really thought of my Venus sign as having much to do with my childhood. IP: Logged |

Moms, Dads, step-parents, school, friends, hobbies, etc.?Natal Venus in Gemini in the 7th. Hmm I grew up in a challenging home environment. I had an angry, verbally abusive father, and a very kind, spiritual mother. I was homeschooled, and we moved around quite a bit so my primary friends were my mom and sister. I read a lot and played tons of computer games (escapist stuff). : ) What are your thoughts on how a Gemini venus affects the parental relationship, friendships, and hobbies of a child? IP: Logged |

I wanted feedback from Venus in Gemini natives because it's one of the Venus signs I don't understand very well and I wanted to make the effort, especially regarding upbringing. (I actually think Venus sign can say a lot about what a person's childhood influences were like.)Some commonalities among Venus in Gemini types I've noticed so far have included at least one step-parent, a big social circle and/or extended family, and nurturant influences who...weren't so much. Thanks for those who have contributed. IP: Logged |

Very true for me. I was also a very good student and a very creative one. I'm an only child [as far as I know - I'm adopted] and my parents have always been uber protective of me. I feel that I'm still a "child".IP: Logged |

Hi Wild Sheep,Yes, I fit the bill with the very large extended family. I never thought about how large my social circle is, but because my Venus is also in the 12th house, as is my Sun, I tend to isolate from time to time, but I've never felt that I had no friends to socialize with when I come out of hiding. I have had 3 step parents at this point. I don't understand what you mean when you say "nurturant influences who...weren't so much." Does that mean that the people who were supposed to nurture you didn't nurture very well? Thanks for focusing the question a little more. Geocosmic Valentine ------------------ "Everybody is a star!"

Oh well now this makes a bit more sense to me. I've had a "stepfather" in all but the legalities since I was 3 or 4 years old. My father's side of the family is pretty much unknown to me. I have a decent sized extended family but don't really have a lot do with them as everyone lives in different places (different cities, different countries).My bf who is also Venus in Gemini has very large both nuclear and extended family. He doesn't have a step-parent, but his three oldest siblings have a different father to him, and so does the youngest sibling. So his father is actually the step-parent to all of those children. This is very interesting. IP: Logged |

GV, yes, I meant that I've encountered Venus in Gemini people whose parents or designated caregivers neglected them in some way (or at least one primary caregiver did).This is not to suggest that all Venus in Gemini folks were neglected as children; I'm sure this Venus placement manifests in as many different ways as others.

Well, I' ve always been very close to mom, but not so much to dad. Dad and I have always been distant from one another, even when I was a kid. My immediate family has grown with the addition of half siblings, and my extended family was pretty large to begin with...LMAO My stepmother can only be described as....interesting. She's a gemini herself, but her moods are kind of ridiculous. Then again, so are my dad's. She's also been very gossipy in the past about my mother and me and my sis and my brother.
For interests: I've finally realized that I tend to have alot of hobbies, almost being like a Renaissance man. And during childhood, we did kind of move around quite a bit. But we did manage to stay in the same state for about 12 years. I did switch schools quite a bit though. =__= I have many acquiantances, but only a few friends Im really close to. IP: Logged |

Hi Wildsheep,Although I have Venus in Gemini and that was my experience, it was also my brother's experience. He is a year older than me and he has Venus in Pisces, so I'm wondering just how tight your research can be with Venus in Gemini reflecting these things, how does it compare to every other Venus in the zodiac so far? How many Venus in Gemini charts have you considered that have these same experiences? What houses are they located in? How are these Venus' aspected? What houses do they rule? I am currently involved with a man who has Venus in Aquarius who has the same experiences with a large family, step parents, he's a musician, he went to music school, and has millions of friends (the social aspect of Aquarius, etc.) His Venus rules the 11th House of friends and the 5th house of creativity, romantic sexuality, children, teaching and athletics.

One of my good friends has Venus in Gemini (Libra decan) in the 7th house. She doesn't have any siblings and her parents have been married throughout her whole childhood - they still are. Her mother is a kind woman even though a little bit distant emotionally, her dad is conservative and reserved. They took care of her but my friend didn't grow up in an emotionally nurturing environment. Growing up, she didn't have much friends and she often felt lonely. IP: Logged |

My family life is far from being fairytale,elders just didnt get along,and they favorized my and sisters older brother so a lot of tension on both sides. Sister and i sticked together allways. Father was almost allways absent I started "noticing" mother when i got tad older,my grandmother kinda alienated us from mom when we were super young because she disliked her (still does,and still looks us under the eye when she sees us being close to mom) I mean i like my childhood in general,but it had lots of negative stuff going on also Even though i have sun,mercury and gemini in my 11 th house i dont really have or have had real friends - i mean,i was good with everyone,but no real ,real friendships. I was quite timid,shy,calm kid - loved and still love sweets,live chocolates,sugar,candies,cakes - you name it as long as it is sweet i liked and still do. IP: Logged |

I have venus in gemini in third trine my moon in 12th. My childhood was chaotic because of sun/chiron combust in 4th. I'll address the venus part though.I have a lot of siblings so we always had lots of coming and goings with friends and people visiting. I would say my siblings are all very cerebral as there are a lot of gemini venus/mercury placements in my family. We liked to read excessively and we had lots of arguing/chatting/debates....My sisters and I used to leave each other little notes and place it in a special envelope we had on our doors for "mail." I also love to learn languages. My family is bilingual and so we had media in different languages at home. In high school my sister and I learned Spanish so it was like our "secret" language when we didn't want anyone to understand us hehe. IP: Logged |

My father lived away from us so no relationship there, but then that can be also explained with other heavier aspects in my chart. I have a lot of step siblings, also huge extended family. Moved around a lot in my childhood. IP: Logged |

Venus in Gemini 10th house, mars in Gemini 9th house.Crappy, thats the best way to explain it. A child should never have to go threw the things that happened to me and I saw as a child, I just learned to treasure what was good along with seeing the silver lining to it all, atleast I know how to survive. Thankful, I am not a drug addict, alcoholic or checked out of life all together. Statistics say I should be 1 if not all 3 of those and somewhere along the way found healthy people to bounce off of.
