Venus enters Cancer

Venus has taken quite a long stay with the energy of The Twins since 03 April. As she retrograded here in Gemini from 15 May to 27 June, now she is in true forward motion again as she takes up some time where The Crab resides within the Zodiac Pie. The collective can expect cherishing moments, devoted affections, with plenty of time spent eating well and doting upon the domestic life. Romantic ideas fill the healthy imagination with gentle and susceptible sensations; while clinging, smothering and overly sentimental energies are best to steer clear of through 06 September.

Take a peak at your Cancer piece of your Zodiac Pie to anticipate some harmonious flows wishing to find outlets to grace this area of the life.  Venus is known as one of our benevolent planets, and even when she retrograded earlier this year, she gently asked for review where it was necessary. As she now transits with The Crab, it’s time to see just how much nurturing touch can be happily brought here.

Equally, see how the other water sign areas of your life will match up with receiving this channel of receptivity where Scorpio and Pisces preside. Any natal planets placed in the water signs will be able to find some pleasantries as Venus journeys in Cancer.  Look to where Taurus and Virgo rest (as well as any natal planets here) to find easy ways of opening up understanding within the life, for these too, are able to gain perspective that can allow good feelings to display themselves.

While Venus will oppose Pluto Retrograding in Capricorn by 15 August, it will be time to expect affections to truly intensify, and karmic alliances to come into some light to regenerate.  The “trickier” passage may be seen as she will square to Uranus Retrograding in Aries by 16 August, which certainly may stimulate tremendous activity between these two areas of the life that can bring unexpected turns to relate to. Aries and Cancer are two signs within the Zodiac that are not always at ease with one another.  As Uranus continues to fire up the eccentric, sensitive Venus may just not handle these things with emotional response in her receptivity of them.
