Venus in Cancer

July 30, 2025

Here are some themes to be conscious of during this time through September 15th with Venus in Cancer, yet more Cancer vibes will prominently continue for another year with Jupiter entering this sign as well.

Remember, Venus isn’t just a relationship with another, it’s the relationship to yourself as well. It also involves beauty and the arts, harmony, love, your values, peace and balance.

Cancer generally involves nurturing, the family, the home, mom or parents, the past, your needs.

With Venus in Cancer there is the feeling of love. Being loved and giving love. This may be obvious in action, but be conscious of the feeling in the moment, and when it’s felt, and when you're being helped with care, or doing that for another. Pay attention to those things that make you feel really good, that you really like. Feeling “at home”, and spending more time there. The home oasis. Being comfortable in your surroundings, comfortable in the nest. Change to dress comfortably at home. Dressing how you feel with your emotions or to what feels good on your body.

Beautifying your surroundings and home. Create a peaceful environment in some way. Bringing more art, color, and music to your home environment, really being moved by these things. Decorate your place, use Feng Shui principles, use water sounds. Get a fountain.

This is the song "Our House" by Crosby Stills and Nash or the emotional “Home” by Sheryl Crow. Female artists of any kind may get more attention or feel to fit the environment better somehow or tap into that emotional feel more effectively. Get out your Joni Mitchell, your Billy Holiday and countless other greats and make a playlist.

Key into more time nurturing yourself, self-love, treat yourself. Do the things you love to do that make you feel good, that give you a good charge of replenishment. Become more aware of your own needs and take the time for yourself for those things. Tap into those self-love activities for yourself. This supports inner confidence so work on your insecurities.

More involvement with family get-togethers, reunions of all sorts. Ancestral involvements and discoveries, an emphasis on the past. Mother involvement. Parent involvement. Family nurturing. Being a mom or parent and how that feels and the care you give.

Caring and loving relationships. Be aware of the needs of others in relationships. This is being affectionate, getting cozy together. Feeling comfortable and at home with someone. Stay in and cook your lover a romantic dinner. Bringing your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend home to meet the parents or make an announcement of a relationship or a family member to the family. Starting a family, additions to family. Relationships that are nurturing for you in some way, romantic or otherwise. Spend time with people you feel good with, who you’re close with, who bring out the best in you, that care about you and support you and be that for others.

More enjoyment by the water, the sea, the lake or river.

Soothe yourself. Swim. Bathe.

Much more emotional feeling to be in touch with. Be present with your feelings, get in touch with that. Feel and flow as they come and go.

Spending money on the house and home. Buying a new house or place to live or doing that with a partner. Moving in together. Being or living at a place you really love. Being in environments that really support you, beneficial surroundings. Doing things at home, or to the house, with your partner or having a “relationship” with your house or place you live at, so maybe you house sit, take care of a friends place, fix up someone's house or help in some way.

Big family meals together. Make that old family recipe that brings back all the memories.

Overindulging with food. The restaurant buffet. Tending to go for anything pleasurable over and over as a comfort habit.

Venus & Jupiter

With Venus conjuncting Jupiter August 12th, Astrologers will call that the "luckiest day of the year," so the Venus/Jupiter combo theme is most powerful from now through about August 24. Themes mentioned above can be even more amplified in your life regarding these two themes and Archetypes. Jupiter is MORE OF, extra, abundance of and extreme. As Venus travels on, Jupiter will remain in Cancer for about a year so, so those themes of home, house, personal needs, emotions, family, mom and parents will continue be more abundant in this time period.

Bring more joy and abundance into your life at home, with the family or the people and partners you return to at the end of the day. Connections become deeper, more meaningful, feels like home, comfortable.

Do more of the things that are in alignment with your belief systems. 

An abundance of emotion, which can be overwhelming. That sad song that makes you cry, that amazing song that makes you feel just SO damn good, you smile big, tears of joy. 

This is a beneficial and optimistic aspect in regards to home, family, nurturing, and feeling combined with relationships as well as how you take care and nurture yourself. Here can be an emergence of a more positive self-worth for you within in the family that you feel and is recognized. 

Maybe you get money for your house, maybe money arrives so you can put on the addition to your house and make updates. Maybe you inherit money or you receive it from your family in some way. Money for vacation. More money to spend on leisure, things you love and personal things. Make a donation to a worthy cause that means something to you.

Be even more aware of gluttony, over eating, over indulging in anything pleasurable, overusing, over doing, more more more. 

An abundance of water removes, not just in a physical way, but also with things in our lives that are personal to us or that we believe in or thought was true for us. Perhaps there is some limitation being removed in your life revolving around the home or family or past relationship. Maybe that enables you to be closer to somebody, or someone in your family, or to have a better home environment because of it. It could even be a removal of something that is of great comfort for you in some way like a habitual indulgence that is removed so that you can open up more space for something else.

As we move into Virgo season, you'll be fine home by yourself working on a project.  A good time for home improvements and things you can do at home that are self-improvement activities. Your diet and health would be important to give attention too.

Take a moment to gaze at the moon and marvel at its majestic beauty.

Have a good Journey,

Christopher
