cancer venus ➫ the master thread
Cancer is ruled by the moon, so when entering Venus you might think being able to translate emotions/feelings would be essentially the same thing. But, we often forget Venus also looks at what and how we value things - and a Cancer Venus might struggle with this concept.
Cancer Venus people are the natural nurturers, they envelope people and will be the first to supply you with ointment for your wounds. Cancer Venus people understand people on an intuitive level. They might even feel empathic, as they often feel they can read people's minds.
Because of this, we unload on them and often times they ask for nothing in return. But, this can take a huge toll on their mental health and they might always provide a shoulder for you to cry on - but struggle with feeling they can do this in return.
They're helpful, but have a habit of bottling up their own hardships. They struggle with feeling they can talk to people, because they are so naturally attuned to their emotions - they might have been gaslighted frequently in their youth and became closed off because of this.
When they do feel comfortable enough to confide in someone, that person might be shocked at the depth of emotion Cancer Venus is capable of. They might often ~come off too strong~ because of not being afraid to wear their heart on their sleeve.
When you want to be comforted, nurtured, fed, and emotionally absolved of your hardships y'all lean on Cancer Venus to do this for you. But when they ask the same of you, you feel overwhelmed? This is why Cancer Venus might be kind to everyone, but close to few.
They are highly selective of the company they keep, because they're aware of the way people can be. They're clairvoyant to how people operate and because of this they might trust very few people. Just because a Cancer opens up to you, doesn't mean they will rely on you.
This quality mystifies people, as Cancer Venus is somewhat of an enigma to most. They essentially want their kindness to be reciprocated, but often struggle with demanding the same respect from others that they naturally give everyone.
IN SUMMARY: Cancer Venus is a hopeless romantic, but they're not a foolish one. They might be polite or kind to you, but they can read you like a book. They understand how humans operate and might go to great lengths to protect themselves.
So if you have a Cancer Venus person in your life who trusts and relies on you - take care of them. All they want to do is make sure you're okay, and keep your house smelling like bougie scented candles. If all they ask in return is your love, realize how fortunate you are.
