Venus in Gemini, Mars in Cancer

Your Venus is in an Air sign and your Mars is in a Water sign.

Venus in Air, Mars in Water (Romantic Air, Watery Desires): In matters of the heart, you are a youthful, intelligent, and passionate lover, or you magnetically gravitate to partners with these qualities.

You do require some “space” and freedom to explore in any relationship, preferring not to be possessed. However, you can display distinct moments of possessiveness yourself! Your mind must be stimulated in love affairs, but you also strongly value subtle, non-verbal levels of communication.

You value being friends with your partners as well as lovers, but that can be a challenge for you when you are in a more insecure mood. Partners (or potential partners) who are uncommunicative, dull, or lacking in spontaneity can be a real turn-off for you. However, you also crave a feeling of security, and a too-outgoing partner might leave you feeling insecure.

You can be a natural flirt, but you usually can deliver on your promises! You easily confuse partners by being indifferent and objective one day and moody the next.

Although you thrive on the emotional and physical charge that you get from sex, you are also able to examine it from an impersonal level. You are passionate and intense, yet in some ways, you can be the most rational of lovers.

Your emotional and sexual needs can be so mixed and varied that a partner is bound to have difficulty knowing what you want and when. Similarly, it’s not always easy for you to find a deeply satisfying partnership, especially in youth, simply because your romantic and sexual needs are conflicting.

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.

More specifically: Venus in Gemini, Mars in Cancer:

You’re wonderfully and unusually adaptable in a love relationship, ready to accommodate. Even so, you can also be difficult to please due to your variable moods and sometimes conflicting needs. Your playful approach can sometimes mask your sensitive nature. Lovers find you funny, interesting, bewildering, and fascinating.
