Venus in Cancer Horoscopes, June 2 - June 27, 2021
These horoscopes are written based on your Rising Sign, but are applicable to Sun and Moon signs as well. See here for more information on your Rising/Ascendent sign.
Pisces
Venus’ movement into your 5th house of creativity and leisure is lighting up your artistic pursuits. This symbology of this month comes somewhat naturally for you. Slip into a more liminal space and get in touch with that which inspires you to make great work. Find a meditative state in your practice and let your creativity ooze out of you with ease. Venus and your chart ruler, expansive Jupiter, will be in conversation all month, working together to point you towards a space of easy flowing poetic movement.
Graceful Venus moving into your house of pleasure is asking you to get out of your head and closer to your heart space. Through relaxation and in leisure activities, you may become your most inspired. Reconnect with others by cultivating beautiful in-person experiences. Take connection with others seriously. If you have children, this is a lovely moment to send them a little extra love. Take a day off with them and let them choose your adventure.
It’s easy for the Pisces person to get lost in their own world and in their own imaginal head space. The symbology of Venus in Cancer offers a lot of that when the moment is right and to channel that into your creative projects. But Venus in Cancer is also about creating a safe space for others. Perhaps in combination with finding inspiration through music or daydreaming, you also find it by listening to the stories of others’ experiences over the last year and a half. Help guide others towards looking to the future with a vision of optimism and hope. How can you help them release the past in order to create something beautiful moving forward?
Aquarius
Uplifting Venus moving into your 6th house of health and daily routines is asking you to add more pleasure to your daily life. This is an extremely busy time for you and most of the Astrology is asking you to stay on task, but in doing so, how do you feel? How does your body feel? June is asking you to send some love towards bodily aches and pains and to pay attention to any physical ailments you have been ignoring in order to keep up with your to-do list. If there’s a doctor appointment you need to make, make it. If you would benefit from a weekly massage for the next four weeks, go enjoy it.
The idea is to not add “more” to your list, but to replace two or three items with something relaxing and sweet. Aquarius is ruled by boundary-loving Saturn and the antidote to an overly “strict” life are all things Venus. Eat chocolate, take bubble baths, connect with old friends, make art, and listen to music that brings you to a soulful place. Scrap your to-do list and take entire days off to simply do nothing if that is what feels right.
The 6th house is also a house of transformation and it might be interesting to consider how your daily life needs transformation in order to connect with others more sweetly. What do you need to take care of around your physical health and your daily routines that will help you find graceful movement in the world and feel more at ease around others? What can you take off your to-do list and replace with real in person human interaction?
Capricorn
Venus’ ingress into Cancer lights up your 7th house of romantic relationships as well as work partnerships. While your typical mode of being is to keep your head down and focus on your to-do lists, June offers the possibility of collaborating with others with ease. June may teach you that you do not have to do everything on your own and that if you put your faith into others, you might be surprised by how much they take care of you.
With charming Venus moving into Cancer, this may be a nice moment to get out of your comfort zone and to express feelings of appreciation to your closest partners. It’s easy to day in and day out focus on the many tasks at hand, but who has been there as a support along the way? Shower them with gratitude and make sure they know how much you appreciate their support. Take a day off with them and do something exciting and easy. Work less and play more.
Feelings are hard and sometimes it’s easier to just stick to the tasks at hand. June is not asking you to cast a light on the harsher parts of your life, but to focus on what is going well. For the next month, focus on gratitude. What comes easy for you? Do you have a lovely partner who loves and supports you? Are you amazingly talented at something? Is your family extremely caring? Do you have amazing friendships? What is good? Take note of that which is natural and easy and try not to focus on what needs “more work”. Have fun, give yourself recognition and surprise others with tokens of your appreciation
Sagittarius
These first weeks of June are about finding a softness for guilt, finding empathy for those who have hurt you, and practicing non-reactive responses when triggered. Forgiving Venus’ movement into Cancer entering your 8th house of psychology, giving you the chance to look at your version of your life story and to take a look with objectivity. What are feelings of shame and insecurity that you hold onto that no longer fit the narrative? If you can take a moment to look at yourself from the perspective of others, do the stories sound the same? Are your shame, guilt, and insecurities material reality or simply weight carried? Take note, write it down, go deep with yourself.
Let go of baggage that you have inherited from your family. You are not them. You are your own special creature with hopes, dreams, and desires. Notions about your childhood and the patterns you were born into no longer match the reality you have created for yourself. Be proud of the life you have procured and of your radiant positivity despite the harshness of life.
Being a source of optimism for others is one of your biggest strengths. You offer alternative ways of seeing situations and now is the moment to provide that reflection to your own psychic space. Spend time journaling, reconnect with a therapist, or talk with your most trusted friend. Take stock of the ways you have been strong in moments where others may have fallen apart. Send compassionate Venusian love to old wounds and feel gratitude for the many blessings of your current life.
Scorpio
This is an apt moment for a much needed vacation or just a little more movement with comforting Venus’ transition out of the darkness of the 8th house of psychological depths and into your 9th house of travel and higher learning. Search for inspiration through external forces rather than from within. Talk to different kinds of people, go somewhere new, be adventurous, get out of your comfort zone. There is a lot to take in as the world opens up a little bit more.
You may find books, podcasts, and research extra pleasurable and inspirational during the first weeks of June. The last year and a half has demanded a lot of work around looking at the past to heal old wounds, but you are now being asked to glimpse forward. What possibilities are on the horizon? What information do you need to seek and experiences do you need to procure? Take a break from the demands of “working on yourself” and explore with old and new friends.
This is also a lovely moment for creative projects with Venus’ movement into dreamy Cancer. Spend time researching for new reference material, go to a public library if you can and take in new information that will give new insight into your artistic practice. In June, you may find yourself taking in a lot of new and inspiring material through research and exploration. Soak it up and take notes so that you’re ready to apply it to your artistic projects when you get back into the studio.
Libra
Career opportunities begin to surface with Venus’ ingress into this part of your 10th house of career and legacy. Without force, your “mama-bear” energy in the workplace is requested as work begins to pick up again. Your ability to take care of the group and lead through compassion as a natural caregiver is needed now more than ever. A lack of trust and financial insecurity has ensued in the workplace over the last year and half, but your comforting qualities will foster healing around these wounds.
You are now on center stage and your efforts are being rewarded publicly. Let the offerings roll in but don’t feel pressured to take the first opportunity out of fear. Trust your intuition and question whether or not these new opportunities will take care of you, have your back, and foster a healthy work environment.
While Venus lives in Cancer for these first weeks of June, you are extra magnetic. Others are drawn to spend time with you, towards your beauty, and your social graces. Go for it, create pleasurable memories, bask in the beauty of nature and human connection. See art, play music, wear cute clothes, and nudge others to join you for the ride.
Virgo
Venus moving into Cancer brings gifts of abundance and togetherness to you, your friendships, and community. After so much time apart from your closest friends, this Cancer Season brings you closer to those you missed the most. In the harshness of the last year and a half, absence truly made the heart grow fonder and you can now approach this part of your life with a newfound appreciation for living in the present.
Leisure time with your closest allies will begin to take up more space in your life as Venus moves into Cancer. Anxiety starts to lift as the day to day minutia begins to carry less significance. Creating new memories with those who are closest to you is what matters now.
Finding yourself amongst friends and community once again, there is a sense that these bonds are thicker than friendship. You are connected in a new way, recollecting on everything you have overcome in the last year and a half and grateful to have gotten through it together. Show them your appreciation. Make your friends a delicious dinner, give them a gift of appreciation, show them that you will continue to take care of and nurture them as life moves on. As we move into Cancer Season in the middle of June, you have potential for being a community leader, someone who brings others together after a long period of darkness. Now is the time to get out into the world and provide a safe space for others to relax into, like a light at the end of the tunnel.
Leo
Cancer Season is prep time for you to rest before rejoicing when the Sun moves into Leo on July 22nd. As Venus moves into your 12th house of solitude, before gracing you with her presence four weeks later, she wants you to be gentle with yourself. Find softness and compassion for buried shame and rest in solitude so that subtler insights appear through the fog. Without force and in spaces that are less comfortable for you, you may be able to send some love towards unhelpful thinking, unhealthy habits, and those who you felt disappointed you along the way.
Venus in Cancer gives you a moment to reconnect with your purpose and to restore your energy. Being a source of strength is exhausting physically and mentally, but part of your purpose is guiding others to find their light by illuminating yours. To protect yourself from over-giving and depleting your adrenals, perhaps you would benefit from cutting out one habit that takes from you more than it gives during this period. Reconnect with your bodily needs, whether that be cutting out caffeine for a few weeks or spending more time with your family.
Don’t worry about outside forces that demand your solar strength and power and instead locate the power from within. Cancer Season is your chance to gestate and prepare for your rebirth at the mark of Leo Season. Rest in order to regain your strength. Regenerate, touch base with yourself, be clear about your purpose, and retreat into darkness so that you can reconnect with that familiar light when you’re ready.
Cancer
Venus moving into Cancer is a peek into what Cancer Season has in store for you. Pure joy, togetherness, warmth, and connection are just some of the phrases that come to mind during this symbolically abundant part of the year.
Your warmth and sensitivity will be exaggerated in the eyes of those who come in contact with you over the next couple of months. Others feel drawn to your caring nature, sense of hospitality, and your ability to make others feel at home when they are with you. Venus moving into Cancer highlights the possibility of human togetherness and others will be drawn to create memories with you throughout this Cancer Season.
This is a lovely time to show up to parties with openness. Listen to others’ stories of pain from over the last year or two and provide them with comfort through helpful words, or just by listening. You are carrying the message of connection as you walk through the world for the next four weeks with the planet of love and beauty by your side. Embrace the warmth and beauty that Venus offers and spread it for others to feel as you herald the planet’s message throughout the next month and a half.
Gemini
While your mind may be buzzing and unsettled during these first few weeks of June, there is an effortless growth around finances as Venus moves into Cancer. There is no doubt that this Eclipse Season and Mercury Retrograde cycle may feel like a doozy as anxieties and subtler resentments bubble to the surface, but you may find peace as the fruits of your labor manifest in monetary gains.
In an attempt to find reprieve amidst mental agitation, try to incorporate pleasurable activities into your daily routines that bring your mind back down from airy movement to warm, comforting waters. When you’re unable to pinpoint the reasoning behind the tension you feel, consider down time; read a comforting book, indulge in a nourishing bath, or watch your favorite film in order to get out of your head and closer to your heart space through pleasurable relaxation.
By redirecting your need for movement into stillness and meditation, you may find your mind settling into a more neutral and balanced state. These first few weeks are not about pushing or about force. Let go and settle into a calm space, watch as your assets begin to grow more abundant, and practice gratitude for what brings you joy rather than try to pinpoint the source of irritation. In stillness, clarity will begin to slow bright.
Taurus
Venus moving into Cancer highlights your 3rd house of communication. Mercury, our planet associated with communication, will be moving in a backwards motion from our perspective during this time - this adds an interesting layer to the mix. Outward, bold, expressive communication might not be an effective tactic right now and so there is an opportunity to consider other less verbal forms of expression.
With your chart ruler, Venus, moving into an equally cozy-loving sign, this is a beautiful time to display your affections through gifts, physical touch, music, and poetry. Verbal communication may get lost in the mix but perhaps there is a special someone in your life that deserves a gesture of your appreciation. Communicate that appreciation in a less obvious way by thinking outside of the box. Reconsider your normal modes of expression and find a new exciting way to display your affections.
If you’re a writer or an artist, this is a great moment to reconsider your output. Perhaps you are able to spend a little extra time alone during this period to get to know your inner workings and find clarity around how you typically convey yourself artistically. You may come off as extra Venusian during this time. Don’t be surprised if others are reaching out to you more during this period, drawn to your warmth and feelings of togetherness.
Aries and Aries Rising
Venus’ ingress into Cancer is a beautiful time to freshen up your home with flowers and your favorite smelling candles as the planet of connection and beauty livens up your living space. Now is the time to finally redecorate, move some furniture around, or freshen up old paint. Bask in the emphasis of home beautification over the next few weeks, both aesthetically and experientially. Beauty doesn’t have to be aesthetic, it may be achieved by inviting your closest friends over for a much needed dinner party. Make them your favorite meal, wear your favorite outfit, keep the conversation upbeat, and reminisce on simpler times.
Time may have felt like a blur over the last two years with little to no in person events but with pleasurable Venus moving into Cancer, time may begin to feel more real as it is marked by concrete dinner parties that you curate or by other in-person events. Cancer has undergone harsh transits over the last several years, and this astrology feels like a transition out of that haze. This is a moment to reconnect, facilitate group gatherings, spend time with your chosen family, and fantasize about cozier times.
This Cancer Season in general is an offering to create new memories through shared experiences. After such trying times, you know who is near to dear to you and now is a moment to hold the hands of those who have supported you during some of the toughest times yet, and make a promise to never let them go.
