♀️ Venus in Cancer personality

In a nutshell, the Venus in Cancer native seeks closeness, safety and belonging in their relationships. They are caring and gentle, and attract others who love to nurture and nest.

Due to the emotional nature of Cancer with its cardinal water energy, when Venus is placed in Cancer, there can be a tendency for moods to shift like the tides of the ocean.

This can make the Venus in Cancer native experience their self-esteem, relationships and values to be dependent on their current mood – if a good one, then all these things become wonderful, but if the mood is a negative one, everything is painted in a bad light.

Just as the crab retreats back into its shell, so does the Venus in Cancer until the coast looks clear. They can have a hard protective outer shell, and take time to know closely.

Similarly, they tend to approach love and self-worth in a tentative, sideways manner, and can be indirect in their dealings with others.

When a Venus in Cancer feels safe and sufficiently nurtured, they will go to extreme lengths to care for those nearest and dearest to them, proving them to be sweet, generous and devoted souls to be around.

♀️ Prophecy + Divination | Venus in Cancer Magic

Venus in Cancer is a fabulous time to practice divination. The cardinal water energy of Cancer is like the ocean, washing up messages, ideas and symbols onto the tides of the practitioner's consciousness.

Divination that requires a deep level of meditation such as prophetic channeling or mediumship is strong at this time. Since Cancer rules the unconscious, there can be great promise from dreamwork (oneiromancy) too, so record your dreams during this season.

Any type of divination that uses water can be especially powerful. Practicing scrying in a bowl of water or heading out to the seaside to practice can bring vivid visions.

Be aware that Venus in Cancer is otherworldly and elusive and the messages are not always straightforward.

There can be a potential for your own unconscious to get mingled into the message too. Making sure you meditate and cleanse yourself before and after can help you to separate what's yours from what's divined.

Working with ancestors is strong at this time too. Ask them for a message and they'll surely deliver.

♀️ Love Magic | Venus in Cancer Magic

Venus in Cancer needs to feel safe and secure and love lives require closeness, nurturing and sensitivity.

If you're making love magic during Venus in Cancer (or for a Venus in Cancer native), opt for intentions like:

Emotional sharing and clearing, more trust, building a home together, repairing a wound, healing the inner child and relationship baggage, making someone feel safe around you, more affection, more sensitivity to your feelings, charming someone's family, fertility magic.

Use correspondences like: Monday, number 2 (the number of partnerships), Venus Aphrodite (goddess of love, born of seafoam), breasts and yoni, white rose, wildflowers, milk, oceans, rivers, lakes.

A love spell for Venus in Cancer:

Choose your intention while being very specific. Venus in Cancer magic is very unconscious, and, similar to the mind of a Venus in Cancer native, the success is based on the feelings of the practitioner. Be very specific and write down your intention, then start by boosting your mood before working.

On a Monday, take two white roses and two small slips of paper.

Write the names of the two people you would like to be closer (this also works for non-romantic pairs like family members or even colleagues). Wrap each slip of paper around each stem of the rose. Tie them with a white, silver or grey ribbon or string.

Take them to your nearest body of water (ocean, river, lake, pond) and hold them out to offer to Venus Aphrodite. Say some words about what you want her to do for these two people.

Drop the two roses into the water and watch them. If they float away, your magic will be successful. If one or both sink, you'll have to wait and see with great patience.

♀️ Self-Worth + Glamour Magic | Venus in Cancer Magic

The self-worth of a Venus in Cancer is hard to tell at first. They hide their true selves behind a shell to those they don't trust. Because of this, they tend to be highly introspective and reactive, meaning that outside events can have a great effect on their self-worth.

Cancer is the "resting bitch face" supreme. You won't know how they really feel, but golly do they!

Their self-esteem blooms when someone supports them and provides reassurance and safety to be themselves, but equally they are subject to dips if someone criticises them.

The nature of Cancer is inherently sensitive and protective.

Ruled by the moon, Venus in Cancer can have unpredictable shifts in their self-worth and can appear moody at times, especially when they're younger, but they tend to relax into themselves more as they age and find out who they really are beneath the armour.

If you're making self-worth and glamour magic during a Venus in Cancer transit (or for a Venus in Cancer native), opt for intentions like:

Solid self-worth, opening up to others, emotional stability, healing of the self-image, body positivity, letting go of other people's opinions, not taking things personally, showing off, taking up more space, taking risks.

Use correspondences like:

The moon in a complimentary sign (Scorpio, Pisces), silver or moonstone jewellery, plunging necklines and decorated décolletage, white, grey, iridescent shimmer, wildflowers.

Or see here for more Cancer correspondences.

A simple glamour magic spell for Venus in Cancer:

Utilise the water element and give yourself a cleansing bath infused with glamour magic to feel confident in your own body.

Choose a day when the moon is full or nearly full (or in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces) and prepare a bowl or bath of water. Add white rose petals or any of the correspondences found above or in the post below.

Here's a list of Cancer magical correspondences to add

Take your time and wash each part of your body with a loving, gentle touch. Nurture your body. Whisper "I love you"s to each part as you wash it.

Wash away any the bad feelings and then relax for some time.

For an added bonus, do some scrying in the water. Ask a question then stir the water. As it settles watch to see what symbols come up.

♀️ Money Magic | Venus in Cancer Magic

If you have Venus in Cancer (or are experiencing a Venus in Cancer transit), your attitude towards money is detached and cautious. Unless you have an aspect that says otherwise, you value other parts of life much more, like home and family.

You tend on the side of caution and don't like to invest or take financial risks. The only exception is if there are homes involved. Venus in Cancer can make great property developers as they know what someone is looking for in a dream home. Similarly, restaurants can be big biz for these natives.

Venus in Cancer will do anything for their family, including financially support them, and the most potent money magic will be magic done for the benefit of someone they love.

If you're making money magic during a Venus in Cancer transit (or for a Venus in Cancer native), opt for intentions like:

Property development (flipping houses), starting a rental biz or hotel, owning a restaurant, getting on the property ladder, money for home improvements, money for your family or children, money to invest in your family's future, money from family business or inheritance.

A simple money magic spell for Venus in Cancer:

Use the rulership of the moon and plant a seed at new moon. Choose one of the plants from the Cancer correspondence list. Name the seed with your intention (i.e. "owning our dream home").

Take care of it as if it is your own child. Water it. Nourish it. Whisper your intentions to it.

Watch the phases of the moon and know that your magic is working. Tell your intentions to the moon too.

At each full moon, write down how much closer you got to your goal (i.e. "we saved 5k" or "we researched locations").

When your magic finally works, give thanks to the plant and to the moon.

♀️ Healing Magic | Venus in Cancer Magic

Venus in Cancer magic is one of the most healing of Venus' transits and since Cancer rules the breasts, female reproductive system, stomach and gastrointestinal tract, these parts of the body can be healed at this transit.

Since Cancer is a cardinal water sign, hydrotherapies like balneotherapy (bathing), thalassotherapy (saltwater therapy), Japanese water therapy (drinking warm water in the morning), cold water therapy, and colonic irrigation can be extra powerful during (or for) Venus in Cancer.

Water has memory, as scientists are now proving, and the healing power of water infused with positive intentions cannot be denied.

A simple healing spell for Venus in Cancer:

Every morning, speak positive intentions about what it is you wish to heal, into a glass of room temperature water, then drink it!

You can also speak intentions into your bath or shower, and nurture yourself while you cleanse too.

**disclaimer** Bear in mind that a trip to the doctor is most important! Also please note that I do not do this kind of work as it requires great responsibility. Only do it for yourself or someone close and be clear that this is not a replacement for proper medical care.

♀️ Venus in Cancer Talisman Magic

Benefit from the powers of Venus in Cancer by forging a talisman during this transit.

Usually, talismans come in the form of jewellery or a small object that can be carried around to reap the benefits 24/7.

Working with an astrologer (like me!) to find the perfect date and time will give your talisman the correct energy that you desire. This is called "electional astrology" and you can book a consultation with me here.

Choose your intention: emotional stability, family prosperity, a dream home or home improvement, financial security, help in taking risks, trusting people or divine etc.

Then decide what you'll create. Silver is associated with Cancer so making an item of silver jewellery is a great idea.

You can also try to upcycle/decorate something, but be aware that talismans can be unpredictable if they're not made from something brand new. Whatever energy is on them already will become part of the spell.

If you really want to use an item that's not new, ensure you've cleansed it real good first!

At your elected time, set up a space and create your object. Focus on your intention throughout.

Afterwards, charge it every Venus in Cancer season to top up the magic and keep the good times rolling.

We've reached the end!
