ALMUTEMVenus in Cancer
Venus represents what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value. In Cancer, it expresses itself with sensitivity and a wish to look after your own.
In Cancer — a cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon —, Venus wanders peregrine, though it rules the water triplicity by day, with which it has affinity: here affection runs like water that mingles in family and friendships. Sensitive and empathic, it sends deep roots into those it loves and offers shelter in emotional storms — but it finds detachment hard. It cultivates few bonds, chosen with care, and ever prefers quality to quantity; for it, to invest in the future is to invest in the security of the heart. Love is nourishing, protective, almost maternal. The risk is that attachment turn to dependence or that grief close itself in the shell. Its strength is faithful tenderness: a Venus that loves with roots, and whose affection, once given, is not withdrawn.
