Protective, cautious, sensitive and vulnerable are the ways in which we navigate relationships while Venus travels through the cardinal water sign Cancer. While feeling more vulnerable and tender, there is, at the same time, a protective defense growing around the ones we love. Venus in Cancer signifies a time when we put intimacy and connection first, before a sense of fairness and equity in personal one-on-one partnerships. Most of the time relationships aren’t perfectly equal, as much as the domicile of Venus which is Libra would prefer — they are hardly ever 50/50 but more of a range between 70/30 – 30/70. Sometimes one person must put in more effort and energy than the other, and Venus understands this sacrifice while in Cancer.
A need for commitment arises over the next 26 days, governed by an urge for security in partnership. We may get caught in the emotional tides, reaching for those who provide a calm place to land. Offering a safe haven for someone to explore the depths of their inner world is a love language. Cancer provides shelter from the storm, and we naturally seek connections with people who don’t require a full on essay in order to receive compassion and understanding.
Putting love, care and finances into home matters to beautify the space in which we dwell day in and day out generates warmth in the soul. It might be time to reorganize, invest in home décor and crafts – especially if you’ve been feeling the home has been a bit drab or cold. It feels natural to bridge gaps with certain family members that we haven’t checked in with for a while. Family may require a bit more attention while Venus is in Cancer, moving our focus away from worldly or work matters outside of the home to our immediate familial relationships.
