Venus enters Cancer

Venus enters Cancer

Venus is in Cancer from May 18th to June 13th, 2026.

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.

While Venus is in Cancer in 2026, it makes the following aspects…

May 22, 2026     2:32 AM   Venus  3 Cancer 51 square  Neptune  3 Aries 51 – 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.
