Venus enters Cancer

Venus enters Cancer

Venus is in Cancer from July 30th to August 25th, 2025.

In Cancer, Venus is nurturing, protective and self-protective, cautious, and fertile. We experience many emotional ups and downs in love under this influence due to our increased sensitivity and impressionability. We are tender, romantic, and attached. We could also be clingy or sulky during this period.

Cancer love is dedicated, warm, and devoted. We show our love through our devotion, care, and concern. We are affectionate and cuddly, and are at our best when we feel safe and secure. We also want to make our loved ones feel safe and comfortable.

Certainly, the Venus-in-Cancer cycle is strong for collecting and money related to real estate, accommodation, food, coins, silver, or antiques. We enjoy homey, familiar pastimes and art in addition to simple pleasures. Decorating the home can be successful and heartwarming, for example.

Cautious with our feelings, we are not always confident about boldly trying or sharing new things during this cycle. However, we do whatever we can to make our loved ones feel special. Our memories are long, and we can be very sentimental.

Jul 31, 2025    7:02 PM Venus  0 Cancer 55 semi-sextile  Uranus  0 Gemini 55 – We’re thinking about doing love or pleasure a little differently, but don’t yet have a plan to do so.

Aug 1, 2025   9:34 AM Venus  1 Cancer 38 square  Saturn  1 Aries 38 – A time when we confront obstacles and blocks to our affections and wants/desires/cravings.

Note: avoid natalizing* an important event around this day.

Aug 1, 2025  4:48 PM Venus  1 Cancer 58 square  Neptune  1 Aries 58 – Disillusions are plenty now. We should ask ourselves, what valid spiritual, romantic, or sentimental need have I been ignoring? On the flip side, have I been glorifying or glamorizing something that is not all that? Note: avoid natalizing an important event around this day.

Aug  2, 2025     1:45 AM Venus  2 Cancer 24 quincunx Pluto  2 Aquarius 24 – We experience poky little problems, largely due to feeling off or not “all in.” Suspicions can nag at us.
