Your mind also slows down a little, so you’re not moving at such a quick pace mentally, and can think things through a little more.
​

On May 9th, Venus enters air sign Gemini, and you have an easier time communicating your thoughts and ideas with others. They’re more receptive to what you have to say, and you’re more friendly and sociable. You choose your words well, and this can be a good time to write or do some public speaking.
