<\/dt>\nYou can tell that Venus and Mars are working together well when there is no waste. Both planets cohabiting Gemini for the next three days will be your chance to think, and talk about that.<\/p>\n
“Mars,” in the words of Robert Hand, “is an energy planet.” With nowhere to go and nothing to do, energy of any kind can get out of hand and become destructive.<\/p>\n
That form of waste is rather straightforward and easy to recognize. Usually, it takes the form of loss. Mental energy with nowhere to go and nothing to do can result in a loss of sleep, making you feel wasted. Physical energy without purpose and place can lead to injury and physical destruction.<\/p>\n
How the Venusian archetype works in your life is more subtle. It is not the opposite of Martian energy, rather it is a complement, in that it completes the other half of the picture. By itself, however, the subtlety of how Venus expresses in your life can be insidious, less easy to detect than Martian energy, and wasteful in a less than obvious way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Venus,” as characterized by Robert Hand “is a Yin planet.” Among other things, it represents the elusive qualities variously characterized as attraction, receptivity or passivity. When things come to you, accumulate or proceed with no effort on your part, that is Venus at work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Venus gets wasteful when momentum or inertia take over. It can lead to excess or habits you would be better off without. It does not result so much in things lost as things missed. Since it is easier to tally up what you have lost than what you have missed, the waste that corresponds to Venus getting out of hand can go on indefinitely. The remedy is energy applied; in other words, Mars.<\/p>\n
Venus gives Martian energy something to apply to, for a constructive purpose. Mars, in turn, brings the Venusian inertia around to a constructive direction. When they work together, you know it, because you get intended results instead of unintended waste.<\/p>\n
Since Gemini is ruled by astrology’s emblem of thought (Mercury), it is appropriate to think about the nature of any object traversing the territory of the twins. Since the event field of Gemini combines the symbolic clarity of elemental air with the mutable inclination of a sign that hosts the Sun to precede a change of seasons, the next three days will be a good time to think about Venus and Mars — and also to see them at work all around you. Communicate what you see, and make some changes of your own.<\/p>\n
Foremost among those changes should be how you see yourself in the grand scheme of things. Astrology is one of the things that only human beings do. Doing it well means being receptive, like Venus, to that legacy. It also means being active, like Mars, and becoming a participant, rather than a spectator. It means taking heart in what you can do, taking a hand in what must be done, and working to rid yourself of all that is wasteful to your precious life.<\/p>\n
