Venus in cancer

Venus has moved into Cancer as of July 18, 2022 and will be staying there through August 10, 2022.

In Cancer, Venus takes a more intuitive and sensitive vibe. Venus is the planet of passion and desire,and in Cancer it desires more of an intimate connection in relationships. Creating emotional bonds. It can also be a bit clingy and possessive, especially as the Sun and Mercury are still in the sign of Cancer at least through the end of the week.

Venus in Cancer is about compassion. 

As we work in healing our divine feminine energy, healing with Venus in Cancer is about showing yourself compassion as you work through what you want and what you don’t want. Working through what you truly value. Understanding that it’s not all about money, but about how things make you feel.

Don’t be afraid to continue to lean into the nostalgic vibes that have followed us throughout Cancer season. You may be inclined to buy things that bring you nostalgia or sentimental value.

Things that are delicate. Full of lace or silk. Clothing that includes embroidery or some other kind of delicate beading or embellishments.

Writing in script. Love letters to the moon. Jasmine flowers. Shades of blue, white and seagreen.

Writing or reading poems.

Check out poems by Delmira Agustini a Latina poet who wrote about sexuality and passion at a time where writing about these things were taboo. She was murdered by her husband at 28.

This is a great time to continue work on inner child healing.
