Venus enters Gemini today, and I’ve been thinking about how to communicate effectively.
Lately I’ve been wanting to reach out. To say what I really mean. To create true intimacy with people.
My obstacle is that I worry intimacy will create obligations I won’t want to or can’t fulfill.
Everybody has vulnerabilities, and when you let people with vulnerabilities in, it can feel like they’re trying to hold on to you when you’re both drowning.
Hello family history!
Even though I recognize that feeling of wanting to push intimacy away is more about my childhood than my present life, it still feels real!
I fear that the more I allow people in, the more people will need and expect from me.
Venus in Gemini triggers these fears. But she is also helping me recognize my gifts.
One of my gifts is being able to feel the fear of being intimate with people, of opening myself up, of saying what I really feel, and DOING IT ANYWAY.
By sharing that gift, Venus gives me a gift back. The more I practice authentic communication the more people I reach.
Venus is in Gemini until July 31st.
Is anybody else out there wrestling with this stuff? Tell me what obstacles to intimacy you’re working to overcome.
Tell me what gifts you have to help you solve the problem.
Venus in Gemini means we’re listening!
