Venus in Cancer, Mars in Gemini
Your Venus is in a Water sign and your Mars is in an Air sign.
Venus in Water, Mars in Air (Romantic Water, Airy Desires): You are a study in contradictions when it comes to love! A sensitive companion, you enjoy amusing, comforting, and inspiring your partner. Still, you don’t generally come across as sensitive as you truly are, tending to hide this sensitivity behind a playful and lighthearted manner.
You are very respectful of a partner’s rights and individuality. You tend to fall in love easily, yet at the same time hesitantly. Similarly, you are both a private person and a people person. This dichotomy may be confusing for a partner, and even for you at times!
You view sex as an emotional release, yet you also tend to appraise it with intellectual detachment. As a result, you can come across as intimate and doting one day, and cool — even self-possessed— the next! You are a sensual lover, and you are forever drawn to relationships.
Extremely charming, you are both playful and warm at once. You are not an easy lover to understand, however. You alternate between sexual adventurousness and vulnerability. As such, your lover will frequently wonder if it’s freedom you need most, or if closeness and intimacy are most important to you. The truth is, you need both, but it can be hard to know when you need what.
Venus and Mars in side-by-side signs:
The things that please you romantically and the things that please you sexually are quite different. What makes you feel loved and desired does not necessarily satisfy you on the level of desire and instinct, and vice versa. One partner could have a hard time attempting to fill your needs. As a result, you could be quite a handful; or, you may find ways to separate your romantic and sexual needs and thus satisfy them individually.
