Sun enters Cancer, Venus enters Gemini

​Wednesday, June 22.  The Sun entered Cancer yesterday and Venus enters Gemini today.  The Sun is so important because it’s the spirit of life and vitality that centers us to engage in life in ways that make us experience the joy of being alive on planet Earth.  Venus is the emissary of the Sun and it’s her job to go forth and use money to experience value and pleasure through daily interactions with others.  Venus is also about demonstrating love and affection through a give and take of energy via interpersonal relationships. 
 
This is an adjacent sign combination.  Cancer emphasizes experiencing our longer summer days by finding joy through personal familial bonds and feelings.  We want to experience more time with family during this time of year and more than likely spend less time working.  We work in order to have more time to have with family and friends and this is the time of year we can be in a bathysphere exploring those connections.  Barbeques, parties, and lots of home entertainment as well as hanging out by the pool or shore. 
 
Venus in Gemini wants and desires to communicate, connect, travel and be personally very social.  This can take the form of more frequent yet shorter times spent with friends, cousins, brothers and sisters.  Each day can bring a variety of experiences with different groups of friends.  You can mix and match or keep certain communities separate from others as long as you spread the wealth.  Venus in this sign likes to catch up on the gossip and the dirt.  Generally this is harmless unless of course Mercury is in a nefarious position.  This year Mercury is also in Gemini so there will be a tendency to chatter and converse fourfold.  Enjoy this very social combination this week especially in the Gay and Queer communities in NYC as Gay Pride is in full swing. 
 
I would be more aware of negative kinds of gossip when Mercury squares Neptune closely around July 1, 2 and 3 leading up to 4th of July plans.  That may also indicate confusion around plans and some possible lying to avoid certain situations.
