Gemini, t he 3rd sign, is similar to the cellular division process. Five to six days after fertilization, the embryo finds a safe zone and implants itself in the uterus. Taurus, the 2nd sign, takes what is initially only an idea, and makes it real.
Aries corresponds to the phase of conception. Gemini is the 3rd sign of the zodiac.Īries, the 1st sign, is the spark of consciousness that decides to take an individual shape.
Gemini is a dual sign, and it represents the duality of our being. That’s why Venus rules love and relationships – because love and relationships are a direct result of how we feel about other people.Īnd that’s why Venus also rules money, possessions, and personal values – because money, possessions, and personal values are a direct result of how we feel about ourselves. Venus is associated with our feelings, with what we like – and what we dislike – with what we value, and what we don’t value. Venus in Gemini – The Duality Of Our Feelings The purpose of the “trial” or the retrograde period is to purify you from what no longer serves you so that you can reset your heart and “start again”. In the 14th century, during the Black Plague in Venice, all the incoming ships had to be isolated for 40 days before their crew could go ashore, in an attempt to protect the city from the Black Plague. What is interesting is that the word “ quarantine” – a very familiar term in the context we’re living in – comes from the old Italian “quarantena” meaning “ 40 days”.
Number 40 is a sacred number in pretty much every religion and is usually associated with fulfillment of promises – BUT ONLY after a period of testing, trial and probation. There’s no coincidence that Venus is retrograde for 40 days. You have 40 days to review, revisit, and re-evaluate your feelings, personal values, and relationships. Venus retrograde will last for 40 days, until June 25th, 2020. On May 13th, 2020 Venus goes retrograde in Gemini.
