Venus in Cancer Reading 2022
Venus has entered the sign of Cancer on July 17th, 2022 & will remain here until August 11th, 2022. If your natal Venus is in the sign of Cancer, you are currently experiencing your Venus return. Returns are transits that happen when a planet returns to its original position aka where it was placed when you were born. Venus returns are great for making changes in your life such as changing your physical appearance, starting a new beauty treatment, switching up your usual style, making more money by investing or creating new incomes for yourself, making big purchases, professional breaks, intense creative inspiration, vacations, conceiving children, and of course sparks flying in your love life.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so in combination with Venus energy it brings us back to ourselves for self discovery, self love, and emotional cleansing/refreshment. Vulnerabilities not yet expressed whether they’re yours or existed before you may come to the surface. Cancers represent our home, foundation, traditions, family, and mothers. There could be issues related to the home, family, or mother during this time. This is a water sign transit and Venus represents fertility so there will be a lot of babies conceived during this transit and families can experience growth for many reasons. Like Taurus, Cancer is another family oriented sign that prioritizes spending time with family and loved ones. Even if it’s just for a few hours, appreciate the presence of those you love. This is also a good time to reflect on what kind and how much support you truly require from your circle. Think about who genuinely brings you joy and who you naturally enjoy spending time with. If certain people no longer align with you despite their title or connection to you, it will be made very clear and obvious so you can act accordingly. Venus in Cancer transit is all about focusing on your own needs and desires as an emotional being.
Cancers have such creative energy and are often able to enterprise their gifts and talents. Try to discover and develop more of your passions, especially relating to creativity and spirituality inside the home. Skills related to the home such as cooking, gardening, building, cleaning, etc. should feel enhanced at this time. Expect interest in redecorating your space and adding new things that will make it more “homey” to you or allow things to move smoother. Think rearrangement=realignment. A part of renewing and cleansing energy is embracing change and making room for what's new.
Cancer is a cardinal sign so taking risks and being assertive is favored. Aside from taking action, also carefully think through and plan each step before it’s made. Venus in Cancer is nurturing, protective and naturally brings a lot more affection, love, security, and emotional support. If you’re in a relationship currently, expect to feel more warmth and comfort around your partner. Spoil your lover with your time and intentionally plan sweet moments for the two of you or gift them with a special sentiment. Cancers value creating traditions with their loved ones and love to receive/gift sentimental items that are unforgettable. There’s this huge need to “settle down” because of this Moon and Venus conjunction. If single, you might desire and feel ready for a relationship. If already in a relationship, you might desire a larger commitment between the two of you such as marriage or buying a home together. With Cardinal energy in regards to love, expect anyone interested to make it crystal clear to you through their actions. If there’s any confusion, it means their spark is just simply not there.

I began this reading at 2:22pm as the Moon went into Taurus.
Decks used: Modern Love Tarot by Ethony, AMEO Deck on Etsy, Lovers Oracle, The Romance Angels by Doreen Virtue
Love Life Right Now: The Star (Aquarius energy). A lot more people are experiencing peace in their love life finally. Whether it comes from within or a new person, the feeling of being content is strong. 11H energy is all about hopes, wishes, dreams, goals, and manifestations so this may be something you are currently wishing for. This is the 17th card which correlates to the number 8 in Numerology. Some of you who are wishing for something new in your love life have actually chosen to focus on your other goals. Putting too much pressure on something actually has the opposite effect and I feel some of you realized and kind of stepped back. This is a good thing as now what you want has multiple opportunities to reach you. You’re giving the Universe more time to work. It's magic to bring you two together. Speaking of magic, the imagery of this card lets me know that's exactly how your (next) relationship will not only present itself, but will be. This is a union directly from the Angels themselves and you may notice a lot of similarities and strong synastry in this connection. This is the type of love that blesses you so much it keeps you up at night, has you daydreaming and envisioning your entire life with this one person, talking all night with them. This is a love of a lifetime.
Love Capability: Six of Swords (air sign-Gemini, Libra, Aquarius energy). In order for you to move forward in love you must release and let go. There’s something or someone you’re holding on to and Spirit says this person doesn’t deserve you or to be in your life. You choosing to keep them in your life is actually preventing your ideal lover from entering in. They are actually blocking your blessing literally. There's many reasons why you’ve chosen to keep this person around. For some of you it’s because you have commitments keeping you together such as a house, marriage, business, or children. For other’s of you it’s the history that has you returning to this person or vice versa. Very specific for someone, but you could have been dealing with this person a total of 6, 3, or 12 years. Before you enter a new connection, Spirit wants you to reflect on what went wrong last time to help you create boundaries that will protect you & your heart from anymore pain. With the Page of Wands rx at the bottom of the deck, don’t rush into anything new right now or get too excited and fall too quickly especially since Venus is Square Jupiter. This will prevent you from making big decisions on impulse and saving you from confusion or making the wrong choice in the future. Steady wins the race always.
Blocks & Challenges: The World (fixed sign-Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, and Leo energy) & The Chariot rx (Cancer energy). Two cards came out for this question and I decided to take both because I can see one is necessary in explaining the other. There's a lot of idealization and idolization in the love life, meaning acting in love out of pure fantasy or mirroring the actions of those you look up to in their love lives and using it as behavioral inspiration for your own. This is the Chariot in rx energy you’re not thinking for yourself it’s like you’re in a car, but someone else is operating the steering wheel, another person is pushing on the brakes, etc. Stop letting what you see prevent you from living authentically in your own truth. This is the day and age of social media and although influencer/social media couples may be trendy, you have your own life to live and your own purpose to fulfill. You will never gain true satisfaction or rewards when you live for anyone else, but yourself. Strive to create your own version of happiness and make sure it’s real.
Potential Partner: Fire + Cardinal + Mars ruling planet= Aries. Instead of giving me the actual sign this time, Spirit decided to give me the element, modality, and ruling planet to help me break it down which I think is so cool. Aries energy is “initiate, open the doors, assert yourself, take action, and realize”. Fire energy is “action, vitality, impulse, passion, will, desire, enthusiasm”. Mars represents the lover and boyfriend and correlates to “action, ambition, realization, independence, courage, passion”. Cardinal energy is “start, initiate, open the doors”. Notice how similar words were repeated? That's intentional for emphasis. Your next partner when you’re ready could be Aries (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) or Mars dominant if they are not an Aries sun. You could meet them next March or April during Aries season (March 21st- April 19th). This is someone who is persistent, has a very active and busy life outside of you, but will make time to focus on you and pursue you intentionally. This is a love that will bring you out of your comfort zone into new territory. They could walk very fast and always seem to be on the move. This is because they are very ambitious. They could go to the gym often, be involved in sports, or have very health conscious or dietary restrictions. The 11H energy I mentioned earlier will help you motivate each other to reach your biggest dreams. They are here to support you through it all as Aries can be extremely loyal and “ride or die” for those they love. They value themselves and their independence. They could be an only child or the oldest child in their family. This is someone who is physically tall or their energy is tall and can fill a room. For this reason, they are confident and rarely feel threatened by the presence of others. They can be a bit reserved emotionally however I feel for “their person” they are an open book and are willing to share their deepest truths. This is someone who is very outspoken and knows how to use their words to get what they want. They can be domineering a bit at times, however their family and friends have a lot of love for them and so will your family I’m getting. This could be someone who is in charge in their place of work, or owns their own business and is an entrepreneur. This person is such a leader, but with this being Mars energy, it's clear this time YOU will have to also step up and figure out what's not working to make some changes yourself in order to build a healthy, successful relationship.
How to Manifest Them: “Look deep within your heart and you will feel my love. My love for you is as deep as the ocean.” & Soul Mate (Your soulmate is already with you in spirit. Believe this and they will manifest physically). Spirit wants you to not feel discouraged in love and have faith your person exists and is on their way to you. I believe this to be true! What you’re wishing for will arrive in your life when you least expect it and it will be abundance, more than you could ever dream for.

What to Expect Next: There’s two different yet very specific situations that came out for this question and I want to include both because they may resonate for someone.
Wedding rx and Codependency rx. Wedding says “This situation involves marriage” and codependency says “addictions are affecting your romantic life”. This is highlighting the demise of a union because someone feels their relationship or even marriage is too codependent and is deciding to leave/get a divorce. I very much feel someone was addicted to another person and it got to be too much and very overbearing. Spirit is saying do not ever feel too comfortable or attached to anyone you experience in this lifetime it is a recipe for disappointment. People come and go for many reasons sometimes out of their control, but what you do have is the facts that you’re left with and you gotta move on with that. Let the end be your closure. This is also to say don’t feel attached or like you’re essentially “stuck” with anyone for any reason. I mentioned earlier there's many reasons to stay, but to avoid settling and unhappiness it’s not recommended.
Pay Attention to the Red Flags (the signs are cautioning you) and Getting to know each other (As you reveal your innermost selves to each other, your bond deepens). These cards are to the people currently dating, talking, or interested in new people. Especially if you’re talking to someone in particular and are moving towards being exclusive, but aren’t really sure how you should go about it and what to look out for. Spirit said pleasee please do not ignore them red flags this time around chile! Know when a flag is red too and don’t pass it off to be pink, green, blue, etc. Be real with yourself so others can be forreal with you. Take your time to get to know someone, and when you realize you’re falling for them be okay with that. There’s no need to make huge commitments or take big steps because “it’s time” or you’re receiving pressure from other people. You take the steps in your relationship at your own pace and when you feel it’s right.
