Today, Venus, the Goddess of Love, beauty, money, and long-term commitments, moves into Cancer, bringing a welcomed change to all of our relationships, our homes, and our own feelings and sentiments. In astrology, it’s Venus that often dictates our love lives, our worth, and what we seek in our long term plans.
Venus has finished up her time in Gemini, which was probably a rockier time for most of us. Venus in Gemini had us divided within ourselves and had us conflicted within our own relationships. We were divided between our heart and our head. We seemed to have different thoughts and opinions compared to those around us. And we definitely felt torn down the middle on everything we had to think about.
Now with Venus entering into soft and sentimental Cancer, we will see a shift within ourselves and our relationships with love, money, and the future, because Cancer is where Venus’ heart feels at home. Venus excels here, she’s comfortable here, which is important because it’s these qualities that will be surfacing for all of us in the coming weeks. Venus’ placement in Cancer triggers her wants, needs, and desires for a home, a family, and something that is so stable and grounding she never has to fear losing it. We tend to reflect on the past to gain perspective on what is most important and where we can level up our own safety and values.
During this transit, we can expect some big changes, especially with the eclipse portal still being wide open pushing us to level up into new realities. This means that our relationships will be changing and likely will be getting much more serious.
Venus moving into Cancer is the ultimate time for upping your love game and getting serious about your commitments to yourself and another person. Don't be surprised at how romantically ewey and gooey you get over the next several weeks, as there are parts of you being awakened by this planetary shift. Be open to love now, both from yourself and from other people. You will likely be shifting your thinking around your own worth and value, while carefully choosing people of value to share yourself with.
There will be many heart-to-heart conversations being had as we get in touch with our most vulnerable parts of ourselves. It’s time to speak our truth and express our true feelings with others.
