People, get ready to wear your hearts on your sleeve because Venus is in gentle Cancer.
From May 7 to June 5. And what can we anticipate from this? The planet of balance and romance is known to have an impact on our love lives and how we express our inner beauty. When we consider Cancer’s most important characteristics, which include fluidity, sensitivity, and loyalty, this astrological movement may make us extra sentimental, empathetic, and perhaps even a little needy when it comes to our loved ones.
But if you think you’re safe because you’re not in a romantic relationship, think again. Venus is about more than just romantic love. While the planet has an opinion on your crushes and relationships, it also has an opinion on your values, personal taste, passions, how you spend your money and express your desires — basically, anything you adore.
All of this is to say that it’s important to keep an eye on Venus’s movements because each shift can signal a shift in your self-expression as well as your love life. Continue reading to find out what to expect during this delicate cosmic moment.
What Does It Mean When Venus Is in Cancer?
Venus’s ingression into Cancer shines a spotlight on our most sacred emotions. Cancer is an intuitive sign that encourages us to be more affectionate toward our partners and to trust our instincts. For those who are single, Venus in Cancer may help you connect with your deep emotional desires and communicate those needs to a potential partner.
The water sign awakens our desire for relationship stability and security. We yearn for romanticism and nurturing actions from ourselves and others. Cancer is a nurturing sign, so you may experience the sensation of being a total empath, absorbing all of the emotions around you.
However, Venus seeks balance, and its diplomatic energy encourages us to balance various aspects of our lives. Cancer is the sign associated with home and family, so now is an excellent time to identify imbalances in home life and romance and set boundaries as needed. We’ll enjoy being nurturing to our loved ones from May 7 to June 5, when Venus is in Cancer. However, we should avoid making sacrifices in the name of love.
If you’ve been having trouble expressing yourself or feeling scattered due to Venus’s transit through multitasking Gemini, the love planet stationed in Cancer may help you reconnect with your emotions. We may feel moody with Venus in Cancer, so stay in your comfort zone if you are feeling drained.
Venus in Cancer: What to Expect in 2023
From May 7 to June 5, Venus will be in Cancer. Its movement coincides with the full moon lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 5, making emotions extra sensitive right now. Be patient and seek clarification from your partner, especially when it comes to how you feel and the state of your relationship. If you’re single, this intense energy may assist you in identifying hidden desires that you may be suppressing.
On May 20, sensual Mars enters orgasmic Leo, heightening our libido and encouraging us to indulge in all of our carnal fantasies. Mars is a fiery planet that rules aggression, so try not to take what your lover says too seriously, and keep in mind that your temper may be more sensitive than usual.
Cancer’s native planet, the moon, connects with Venus on May 23, making it favorable for romance and intimacy. Because the moon governs our emotions, you may feel particularly close to your partner right now, and if you’re single, you may have a clearer idea of what you want from a relationship.
More information about how Venus’s transit in Cancer may affect your zodiac sign can be found below.
Aries (March 20-April 19)
Are you ready to shed some tears, Aries? There’s no need to be shy. Allow yourself to give in to your desires, whether they are to be extra cozy at home with your partner or, if you’re single, to explore dating within the safety of your own personal bubble. This could also be an opportunity to nurture your soul, and sprucing up your space or spending money on home décor could be a reflection of your self-love. Love can come close to home if you look for it, or through a family member’s introduction.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus, Venus in Cancer is giving you the courage to speak from your heart. You’re a natural romantic, but you have a tendency to rationalize your emotions — Cancer is encouraging you to trust your instincts. This is a powerful time to express your love for those you care about, especially since Mercury, the planet of communication, and the Sun are both in your sign. If you’re single, this could be a good time to work on balancing your mind’s and heart’s desires.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
What are your love-related values, Gemini? Venus in Cancer is highlighting the materialism in your relationships, whether it’s shallow love or avoiding what truly matters to you. Your natural logic may take a back seat. If you want a quick romantic getaway, go for it. If you’re single, it could be a quiet time for romance — but also a critical time to connect with your deep desires. Draw from your own values and stick to them.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Cancer, confidence is on your side during this beneficial transit. This is an excellent time for a makeover and to look your best. Venus may help you connect deeper with your partner, and you may feel closer than ever before. If you’re single, your confidence may attract someone special, so don’t decline any invitations. You’ll be more charming and approachable overall, so don’t try to impress anyone — just be.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Are you particularly sensitive to spiritual matters, Leo? Nurturing Cancer may have you caught off guard by love right now, so take a breather and recharge your batteries. You may be romanticizing certain aspects of your relationship, and now is the time to remove the rose-colored glasses. This is also a good time to delve deep into your subconscious to find your wounds. But keep at least some of that romantic awe because a secret admirer may appear during this time.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
When it comes to love, this transit reminds you of the importance of your platonic soulmates, Virgo. How well do you manage your home, friendships, and love life? Try to balance your relationships and think about where you feel most at ease spending your energy. If you’ve been feeling pressed or aggressive lately, take heart: Venus will assist you in resolving any difficult situations with others. A friends-to-lovers plotline is typical of Venus in Cancer, but defining boundaries is also a major theme.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra, now is a good time to consider how your partner supports your professional goals. Your appearance is important to you, so it stands to reason that you may be suppressing some feelings while keeping it together for the sake of the public — but this is an excellent time to be vulnerable. If you’re single, you might run into a potential lover at a work-related event, and they don’t have to be a colleague, so keep an open mind. Aside from romance, Venus may bring extra love to your projects. A project with a partner can be financially rewarding and will eventually pay off after all of your hard work.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio, how deep is your love? Venus in Cancer supports your desire for safety and stability, so your compatibility with the fellow water sign adds to your allure. Exploring your partner’s mind may be especially beneficial right now when it comes to getting intimate. If you’re single, you may be shy and reserved when it comes to meeting new people, but it may pay to keep an open heart because you might meet someone special while traveling. This is an excellent opportunity to promote yourself and network with people from all over the world.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Sagittarius, this is a sensitive time for you in terms of love. If you’re single, Venus in Cancer wants you to recognize the ways you’ve outgrown your current partner or your expectations of a relationship. On the other hand, this emotionally intuitive transit has the potential to completely transform your love life. It might be time to make your dreams come true. You’re known for your daring, so go for it. However, you may want to postpone starting something new for the time being so that you have plenty of time to do so in the coming months.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorn, Venus in Cancer is assisting you in scheduling plenty of love. This is a reminder to make time for romance and to pour your heart and soul into your relationship, especially if things have felt stale or out of balance recently. You may feel compelled to put more effort into your dating life — and if dating apps aren’t your thing, Cancer will encourage you to put yourself out there. If you’re in a relationship, it’s time to turn up the romance. You require a makeover.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Is your love life in need of some TLC, Aquarius? With Venus in Cancer, you may feel as if you’re just going through the motions when it comes to love — but this is a sign that it needs some TLC. Where could your relationship use some work? How could you help your partner even more? You may have to forego some self-care to assist someone else at this time, but you enjoy being helpful. If you’re single, a potential love interest may appear in your daily routine, such as at a coffee shop, bookstore, or gym.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces, you’re feeling particularly inventive in your romantic life. Venus in Cancer, another water sign, is assisting you in your pursuit of pleasure. If you’re single, you may feel empowered to create romance wherever you go. Finally, do all of the things that make you happy, are enjoyable, and bring you joy. So now is a good time to ask: how can you increase the passion in your relationship? With Venus in Cancer orbiting your children sector, you may want to think about expanding your family — and if you’re ready, now could be a good time to try for a baby.
