When Venus passes through Cancer, love becomes protective, nostalgic and drenched in sentiment. This is classic “housewife” Venus, but don’t be fooled into thinking she’s all sugar and spice. Venus in Cancer can suffocate as well as calm. During this time, relationships often crave security and closeness, but there is also a risk of becoming too clingy or emotionally manipulative. The sweetest smile can hide a sharp, grasping claw.
This transit has a talent for attracting people with warmth, charm, and emotional intelligence. Venus in Cancer wants to nurture, but also wants to be adored in return, preferably with constant reassurance. Romantic gestures tend to lean toward the sentimental side: handwritten notes, cooking for a partner, or reliving old memories. On the other hand, past loves can resurface like ghosts from the attic. If there are cracks in a relationship, this Venus transit lovingly repairs them or reopens the wound completely.
