Gemini
2008: Gemini Love Horoscope: Love Guide
The following guide shows when, where, and how
to best find or maintain love. See below the guide for more key dates and the
best periods for attracting or enhancing romance, partnerships, and intimacy.
Key to the Guide
Where: Each sector of a chart
represents certain areas of your life. For example, the ninth house is connected
to institutes for higher learning and travel. When Venus transits that
particular sector, you may have better chances finding love while traveling,
doing adventurous things, or furthering your education.
How: Emphasizing your own
character traits that are associated with a particular sector of the chart that
Venus is currently transiting helps you to attract more pleasant and loving
energies into your life.
Relationships begun now are:
Relationships begun while Venus is transiting a particular sector of your chart
tend to take on some of the characteristics of that sector.
Enhancing love now: Ways to
improve an existing love relationship during a particular period.
Dec 30, 2007 (Dec 29, 2007 to
Jan 24, 2008) Venus 7th House: Where:
Anywhere! Could be through a consultation or meeting, however. How:
By expressing and emphasizing your diplomatic, tactful, compromising skills.
Expressing a harmonious, cooperative, and pleasing manner. Relationships
begun now are: True one-to-one partnerships, often leading to
commitment; they can be decidedly romantic, at least at first; there is a real
give and take associated with this house, however, which can amount to "keeping
scores". Enhancing love now: This is perhaps the most favorable
time of the year to enhance an existing relationship. Expressing open-hearted
interest in a lover, listening to a lover's side to the "story", compromising.
Jan 24, 2008 (Jan 23, 2008 to Jan 25, 2008)Venus quincunx Ascendant
or Sun: A strong need for harmony, affection, approval or belongingness
colors your attitude and decisions now. Overall this is apt to bring ease and
engender positive feelings in your interactions and personal relationships, but
in a situation in which you need to move forcefully on your own behalf it could
work against you. Social engagements, pleasure outings, and even shopping are
favored. Your own values or way of expressing love and affection may differ from
someone you encounter now, but because you are willing to please and smooth over
differences, all is apt to turn out well. At the very least, you'll learn
something about a friend or lover that helps you understand them. In fact, your
differences may be appealing. As long as egos don't interfere, love will reign!
Bottom Line: Some awkwardness when it comes to romantic expression; feeling
misunderstood. Not an ideal time to make your move.
Jan 24, 2008 (Jan 23, 2008 to Feb 17, 2008)
Venus 8th House: Where: Privately, a bank or financial institution, an

stormy and characterized by possessiveness, obsession, or power games;

love and intimacy, non-superficial expressions of love (although these do not
have to be spoken), expressing psychological understanding.

A pleasant, affectionate, relaxed, or courteous attitude eases your interactions
now, and may open doors or help lighten troubled situations that you've been
working with lately. You can attract what you want and need, rather than pursue
it forcefully or do it all yourself. This is an excellent time to go out on a
date or ask someone for a favor, because you make a decidedly positive
impression at the moment. Being with people and enjoying good times (especially
with beautiful, charming, lighthearted people) is really what you want now.
You're in a friendly and cooperative mood which brings ease to your interactions
and an overall sense of harmony to your day. Because you are open to love and
friendly gestures, you will attract loving people into your experience. Bottom

side. Relationships begun now are: responsible, status-conscious,
serious, long-term. Enhancing love now: Sharing goals, structuring
your relationship, doing things that make you feel secure, showing your more
responsible side.
