Venus X Cancer 2021 By: Erin The Urban Mermaid
June 4, 2021On June 2nd, 2021, Venus, our planet of love and money, moves out of flirtatious Gemini and into emotional Cancer where she will stay until June 27th, 2021. Another transition in signs that couldn’t be more opposite!
Venus, as we’ve come to understand by now, is the planet of how we love and what we value, including our own self-worth. She rules both Taurus and Libra and embodies that Goddess energy that always reminds me of the Empress in the Tarot. She is fertile, abundant and creative. Her lessons to us include how we love ourselves and others, what we place values on, our possessions, our money, how we are in relationships, our connection with Mama Gaia and all things of beauty.
Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac ruled by the Moon, and together the two rule the fourth house, the “House of Family.” Cancer is a cardinal water sign which basically means, they react or take action based on their emotions. Cancer, the Mother of the Zodiac, is sensitive, emotional, intuitive, empathic, and nurturing. Her more shadowy side includes being moody, crabby, scared of confrontation, reactive, defensive and takes things to heart often. They are the homebodies of the zodiac needing their homes to be their castles, sacred spaces they can get their domestic diva on. Cancer has a secret superpower. Because of their ability to truly feel others emotions and feel out situations, they make excellent business and community leaders.
So what is Venus in Cancer looking like the collective?
Venus in Cancer craves emotional commitment and stability. They are over the dating around Gemini brought, it’s time to take things more seriously in the love department. If you are in a relationship, you or your partner might be feeling a bit more needy and crave more intimacy. Cancer likes a love that is over the top, consuming and lovey-dovey. Cancer is also known to be on the clingy side, so when it comes to relationships you might feel more attached to your partner or feeling overly sentimental. You might be feeling the niggle to reconnect with people from your past, especially with most of this transit also occurring during Mercury Retrograde. You may find yourself spending money on things you feel emotional about, perhaps they remind you of someone or something else.
What are those unavoidable shadows?
Be wary of spending (or overspending) your money to compensate for a lack of attention from someone or in an attempt to console yourself. We’ve all done the emotional spending thing! No possession can truly bring you happiness. That’s something that is within each of us. As well, although this transit likes long term relationships, don’t force that! Take a hint from the water and allow that to ebb and flow as it is meant to. Because Cancer takes things to heart so deeply, abandonment is a common emotion to come up. And that is a tough one. Feel it! Don’t shop, drink, smoke or try to numb it away. You are stronger than you even know.
