VENUS ENTERS CANCER 30-31 JULY 2025

VENUS ENTERS CANCER

The caring partner or the stingy lover…from socialite to housewife

The most motherly of signs welcomes the most loving of planets and it looks like we’re in for just over three weeks of tender, caring love or are we?

One of the images of Venus in Cancer is certainly that of the romantic figure forever in love with Prince or Princess Charming. Venus, of course, doesn’t rule only love, it also covers, among many things, finances, self-esteem and all the things that gratify us. Venus responds to everything that makes us feel good, comfortable and happy. In traditional astrology Venus is known as the Lesser Benefic and considered a fortunate planet. The sign of Cancer, ruled by the Moon and its fluctuating phases, lends a rather restless nature to any transiting planet.

So, in Cancer, we may find not only a clingy, maternal Venus but also a fickle one, never completely happy with his or her lot, never sure about how much to give unconditionally.  Venus here is more compassionate than actually physically passionate. Viewing this placement from the a “giving” point of view we might like to remember that the glyph for Cancer is a crab and (hermit) crabs retreat into their shells when their security is threatened likewise Venus in Cancer never gives totally (be it concerning love or money)….self-security is far more important than surrendering completely and ending up without defenses or moneyless.

During its stay in Cancer Venus will make some rather important connections to the outer planets:

01/08: square Saturn R (01°37’ Cancer-Aries) and simultaneously square Neptune R (01°58’ Cancer-Aries) whilst both Saturn and Neptune are in sextile aspect to Uranus in Gemini and Pluto R in Aquarius– a total (Pluto) dissolution (Neptune) of boundaries (Saturn) presented as a gift (Venus) to humanity (Uranus). Or ongoing warfare (Saturn in Aries) deliberately destroying (Pluto) humanity (Uranus) leading to bloodshed (Venus) under a misguided ideal (Neptune). Remember that retrograde planets are debilitated and thus not working in their “programmed” manner.

11-12/08: conjunct Jupiter (14°03’ Cancer) – some need to trust (Jupiter) in love (Venus) others will be overestimating (Jupiter) their good luck (Venus).

“You can love someone so much…But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.” John Green
