Venus in Mithuna (Gemini): meaning
Mithuna is a dual air sign ruled by Mercury, a friend of Venus, so Venus is in mitra rashi. The planet of love and art meets the sign of communication and curiosity: attraction begins with the mind, and affection is expressed through words, humour and shared interests. Venus here enjoys variety and cultural exchange, and is at ease in social settings. The relationship with Mercury is friendly, so charm and intelligence blend smoothly.
A strong Mercury adds wit and elegant expression to Venus. An afflicted Mercury may bring restlessness, flirtatiousness or difficulty committing. The dual nature makes the native adaptable but sometimes torn between options. Aesthetic taste is often drawn to writing, music with lyrics, design and conversation.
