Venus in Cancer

When Venus in Cancer falls in love, they go all in. It also falls hard, which makes this energy & the people who own it unusually vulnerable to hurt & cruelty ... or even thoughtlessness from their loved ones. Water Signs are notorious for that kind of sensitivity anyway, but Venus in Cancer especially so. Loved ones to Venus in Cancer become "family," which hands them a special power they don't always use well.

It may have been a Venus in Cancer soul who first declared to their beloved, "I love you so much it hurts." Some signs find that announcement poetic; others melodramatic. Most thinks it's probably metaphorical. It's not. Venus in Cancer may not feel the same passionate feelings as Venus in Aries, but what they lack in excitement, they make up for in depth. It can be all-consuming.

Venus in Cancer

Venus in Cancer is deeply into its feelings. When love is part of any relationship, it goes all in. No half-measures; no holding back. But such commitment leaves Venus in Cancer very vulnerable to hurt & disappointment. It's also painfully aware of that. So, trust can be touchy. It knows it needs to protect itself from the serious harm & risk that goes with this kind of love. It's a delicate balance, & not always successful.

Cancer energy is deceptive. From the outside it can look tough & resilient, but behind its hard crab-like outer shell, it's tender, soft & fragile. As a Water sign, it's sensitive, compassionate & full of empathy. Security & protection are among its major concerns -- for itself, its family members, all its loved ones. It puts a lot of energy into building that & then maintaining it as a fortress against Life's many threats.

Venus in Cancer

Venus in Cancer is deeply emotional when it comes to "things of value" -- like relationships, the people you love, home, family and $$$. There is an emphasis on nurturing and bonding that can be very maternal. Cancer is everyone's Mother. It shows love and concern by feeding, protecting and having empathy and compassion. So, when Venus is in Cancer -- which happens once every year -- these qualities are part of the landscape.

Like all planets in Water Signs, Venus in Cancer is sensitive and psychic. It can merge with its loved ones to an extent that lets it feel what they feel, appreciate their concerns from their point of view and truly understand the heart and soul of the person. In fact, this intimacy can be so total and accurate it becomes intrusive. There's no hiding what you care for and what you're about when Venus is in Cancer.
