Venus in Cancer – Men and Women

Venus In Cancer Natal Chart

Cancer is the fourth sign in the zodiac and the first water sign to make an appearance. 

And as such, you can expect a powerful flow of emotion that cancers find difficult to control. The sign’s avatar is a crab which is fitting for as the cancer typically is soft on the inside, but displays a tough exterior to ward off would be predators. 

The cancer’s ruling planet is the moon and which is one half of the duo that begins our days and nights and the cancer’s energy is similar. Cancers have a homely, motherly, nurturing disposition to their character and you can often find them hosting events at home or pretty much any activity that involves family and the home environment. 

Cancers are usually great with money and make excellent partners to the right mate. But if you’re the wrong mate, there is no fury like a Cancer scorned. This is not the sign to play with in the matters of love. 

They take their love life and their feelings seriously and it would be in your best interest to do the same. They began a courtship with caution and maybe even a bit of cynicism but when they do fall for you, they fall hard. 

I mean head over heels, heart eyes, you’re my soul mate hard. If you aren’t interested in something long term don’t play with this sign it simply just isn’t fair. 

Dating Someone With This Placement

When you take Venus in place it in the sign Cancer, you get a very loving, mature, and emotional connection. You can expect this partner to be romantic and passionate in their display of affection. Because they’re so emotionally powerful in matter of the heart, they often find themselves being more reserved than they are in an effort to hold back but once they decide it’s safe to come out and play, it’s with full force. 

When you meet your Venus in Cancer, they’re going to be standoffish and they might appear uninterested but stay the course and they’ll begin to warm up to you. Patience is key with this placement. I’d advise being more level headed than not because when emotions flare up (and they will) someone will have to be the reasonable one. 

This placement is capable of logic and intelligence in other areas but when it comes to matters of the heart, they operate based on how they feel. They’re feelings lead the way and their intuition is highly developed because of it. They want to know how you feel and they want you to know how they feel in return. 

When you’re dating this sign think traditional romance. Flowers, candy, soft music, etc. Venus in Cancer wants to be swept off their feet by their partner. They will return the energy, and radiate an almost blind loyalty to their partner that can only be broken by you. 

This placement is all about being in a loving, caring relationship and making it work for both parties; if what they want is possible, they’ll make it happen. If it isn’t possible and you know it isn’t possible, you need to make that abundantly clear and the sooner the better.

This placement is vulnerable to being taken advantage of and to some other placements that may be tempting but whatever you think you’d gain certainly won’t be worth the wrath you’ll incur for playing with this placement’s feelings. 

If Venus in Cancer suspects you’re playing a game or you get caught doing something you know is disrespectful to the relationship, prepare for war. This placement has a legendary reputation for over the top responses to what they perceive to be disrespect in the love department. 

Having This Placement

You’re a sensitive soul and that’s fine. Actually, it’s your super power, In matter of the heart, you’ve learned to take your feelings seriously and because if that, you’ve developed and polished intuition that won’t lead you wrong if you trust it. 

Taking dating seriously is your calling card but do understand some people date for the sake of dating or simply for the thrill of the game. It doesn’t mean they’re trying to hurt you, it just means you should be more careful with who you give your heart to. 

You’re a loving caring, partner and when you find the right person you’ll make them very happy. When you’re dating, keep the fact that you’re a great catch with something special to offer in mind. If a person doesn’t want to be with you, it’s their loss.

You deserve a partner who will appreciate you and at least attempt to match the effort you put into trying to make a relationship work. If a relationship goes south, try not to do anything that will get you in trouble. If it’s illegal, don’t even think about it. 

You’re very passionate about your relationships but when it’s time to end one and move on, it would help if you had a solid support system to help you through that tumultuous time. Being emotional isn’t a weakness it’s a strength.

When you do feel like you’ve found a potential suitor, try not to get nervous and put them through a bunch of trials to see if they measure up. You’ll just end up pushing them away in the long run. Instead, try to do something positive with all of that nervous energy like cook or arrange a romantic evening or something you think will bring the two of you closer and strengthen the relationship. 

This is a great placement for relationship experts so don’t be afraid to give your friends and family advice about dating as long as it’s positive. You’ve worked hard to maintain relationships and you understand the processes of different scenarios playing out.

You’re a valued lover and friend with something beautiful to offer there’s no need to rush into anything prematurely. Enjoy the process of dating and getting to know someone and follow your intuition when it comes to warning signs and red flags.

Your best Venus matches are; Pisces, Scorpio, Taurus, Virgo, and Sagittarius.
