Going to add to this:
Venus in Cancer: Love is warmth and security. Literally “Love is a House”[Word to the Force MD’s!] Love is emotional nurturing and support. Love is acceptance. Love is a family by blood or worldview. Love is a cozy “nest”away from the madness of the world.
Venus in Cancer: Love is warmth and security. Literally “Love is a House”[Word to the Force MD’s!] Love is emotional nurturing and support. Love is acceptance. Love is a family by blood or worldview. Love is a cozy “nest”away from the madness of the world.
Love is protection. Love is active listening. Love is sensitivity. Love is making room for vulnerability.
for those with Venus in Cancer, one of the deepest yearnings is to feel as if someone expended the time, care and energy to actually understand them. true connection is something that they value immensely and don't take lightly.
when we speak of anything cancerian, the themes of emotional security automatically arise. for them, security means something that's not in doubt. something that they can count on, something they can trust & something that leaves them no fear of being exploited or manipulated.
to nurture is to help things & people grow. the venusian cancerian wants nothing more than relationships based on a commitment to nurturing each other. you'll most likely see the "claws" of the crab only if they feel the emotional energy they lay out isn't being reciprocated.
what the venus in cancer person values is something or someone that provides a sense of belonging. in relationships, someone they know that's committed to creating/maintaining a safe space where they can listen & be listened TO & they can be themselves w/o judgment or ridicule.
there's a wispy, whiny "crybaby" stereotype of this placement (as well as other cancer ones) that needs to be scrutinized more closely or put away. for the tenacity of the crab has few equals. a combination of gut -level shrewdness & acute perception keeps them on point.
a major developmental lesson for those with venus in cancer is that of self-nurturing. it's key that you develop a private space inside yourself that you can return to as a "sanctuary" of sorts. although connection to others is important, to be a good partner to oneself is 
.
.
in many respects, those with Venus in Cancer are adept Fostering and nurturing the complete relationship. Offering the warm, cozy nest of safety and unconditional love.
The recognition of the full gamut of emotions and feelings. The inclination to intuit a partner’s spoken and unspoken needs. Attention paid to “the little things”. Promoter of the private “just between me & you.” bonds.
another developmental lesson for those w/ venus in cancer surrounds “Helping” & “caring as a form of creating obligations in other people. if not careful, this can be subtle, indirect manipulation. so, you want to make sure that EVERYTHING you do derives from the emotional truth.
Also, learning how to receive the same affection you provide and avoiding the unconscious creation of one sided relationships. furthermore, understanding the warning signals and dangers of holding something or someone TOO tightly and confusing that behavior with love.
for the venus in cancer person, it's important to claim your gifts of sensitivity, the ability to read emotional undercurrents, the ability to anticipate the needs of others, intuition and "mirroring". it's equally important that you avoid projecting these on those close to you.
understand that you'll need to resist clapping back at others that say you have "too much" of the aforementioned qualities. even if you're unable to articulate your feelings in the moment, know that your internal radar has chosen a person or a situation that requires attention.
as a result of this, you must follow the rabbit hole until you get the answers that you require. for you, in most cases, when something doesn't feel right, it usually isn't.
At it's best, Venus in Cancer can operate as a demonstration of the ideal feminine (irrespective of gender). and one who is capable of harnessing emotional support in quantity and quality with a relational style that's sincere, soulful and heartfelt.
i said i was going to add to this today..... what I'll add is: it's important for those with venus in cancer to understand that because they tend to process emotionally & anticipate needs, doesn't mean that others are oriented the same way. so, it's important to voice needs.
allowing others to know what you truly need is in no way weak. in fact, you're offering it as an invitation to see more of you. you get in trouble when you expect others to anticipate YOUR needs as you do everyone else's. realize that by doing this, you're putting people in+
an impossible position as a mind reader. you are making PROGRESS when you're able to VERBALIZE your needs, emotions, fears and concerns.
