Cancer Sun & Venus

There are 5 different possible feminine sub-types within Cancer based on what sign Venus was in at the time of your birth. (btw, the following can apply to men, as well..)

Cancer Woman with Venus in Taurus:
You are slow to love and attach values but once given they are seldom ever completely broken. Your home is likely to be beautiful and soothing and you probably have a strong appreciation for classical forms of art, writing and music. You are the strongest of the Cancerian types and have an amazing inner strength that allows you to be a powerful nurturer and caretaker. You love with conviction, strength and tenacity. You sooth through anything that you create whether it is a meal, a flower arrangement or a work of art. You are likely to have many hurt and recuperating souls around and often embrace friends as your family. You value traditions, home and loyalty. Material and physical security is a necessity for your inner peace. You can be tenacious and stubborn and will stand firmly and forever behind those you love. You are hard to get close to out of self protection and you have an amazing ability to fight back and defend. You are attracted to strength, stability, creativity and devotion.

Cancer Woman with Venus in Gemini:
Of all the Cancer subtypes you are the one most likely to reach out into the world....not only to receive your emotional needs but also to share them. You'll tend to attract the unique and the wounded who find your utter loving acceptance both healing and nourishing. You explore your intense and deep feelings through your mind and usually possess a profound understanding of the workings of your heart, your emotions and how they wrap around and through your intellectual processes. You value not only the typical cancerian loves of tradition, safety and home but also intelligence, spontaneity and a hunger for learning experiences. You're attracted to humor, intelligence, the unique and the wounded. Your home tends to be equally unique and probably far different than the other Cancer domains....full of the intellectually oriented tools and assets that you value. Learning becomes a self healing technique for you. You usually have a genuine and compelling sense of humor and use it as both a defense and a weapon to shelter your emotions. You express your feelings and needs easily and can help others understand what you experience.

Cancer Woman with Venus in Cancer:
You are the archetype for the moon goddess and the eternal matriarch. Your feelings are deep, passionate and stirring. You have an amazing emotional depth in which you experience your world through a series of feelings, hurts, convictions, dreams and love. You nurture instinctively and completely. You are empathic and tuned in to the slight emotional nuances that others exude. You are a natural healer whether you acknowledge that consciously or not. You value the traditions of home, stability, comfort and all that goes with it. You are attracted to strength, integrity, compassion and loyalty. Your appreciations tend to be fluid and variable changing with the passing phases of the moon. You are hard to reach emotionally, hiding behind your extremely formidable outer shell which protects not only your sun but your heart and values, but once you open up to someone you are connected for life. You can fight back and protect with surprising (and unequaled) force and tenacity. Likewise you nurture, heal and protect with the same strength.

Cancer Woman with Venus in Leo:
You are a warm and splendid woman full of the rays of the sun (ruling Leo) and the softer glow of the moon (ruling cancer). You are emotionally expressive, luxuriant and nurturing. You have a strong and luxurious sense of style and values. You usually have very high standards and expectations around your home, your loves and your emotional needs. You share your feelings and your grievances and hurts with more drama and more ease than the other cancer sub-types. You are less likely to hide what is bothering you and more likely to react and reach out. You are generally outgoing and less prone to shyness or reticence finding an easy outlet to express and state your feelings and your needs through your extravagant and expressive leo venus. You adore attention and can give it out in equal doses. You are attracted to overt glamour, emotional luxuriousness, expressiveness, style and a joyful persona. You possess the gift of making others feel noticed, special and appreciated.

Cancer Woman with Venus in Virgo:
You are a healer. There is an element of sacrifice that is part of your heart and soul and you will willingly go far out of your way if you sense that someone needs your compassion, your energy or your help. You are capable of taking on the pain and wounds of those you care about and empathy is a strong hold in your life. You have a driving need to shelter and nurture that can take you out into the world . You are a 'fixer' with an uncanny intuitive ability to know what has been damaged and what needs to be done. You can find it difficult to open up to receiving your own emotional needs and desires. You are the Cancer woman who keeps the most formidable 'shell' in place and are the hardest of the subtypes to open up emotionally. You are protective and driven, compassionate and quiet. You tend to be shy and rather withdrawn until you sense you are needed. You value integrity, commitment, sacrifice and stability. You can be self denying and sacrificial to a fault. You are attracted to the quiet, the genuine, the helpful and the wounded. Yours is the gift of compassion, empathy, sacrifice, dedication and unconditional love.
