Venus has waded into the dreamy womb-waters of Cardinal Cancer, where She remains until the 5th of June (AEST) gentling & sweetening the tender sign of the Crab.
Here She is sun-showers & salt-scented nights. The tender lap of moonlit waves upon ancestral shores. Night-scented Jasmine, lemon blossom, basil. Mythic memory & nostalgic potency. A kindly Aphrodite.

Lady LoveMood is now co-present with Mars - our Warrior who hath been simmering protectively in the belly of the Cancerian cauldron these past weeks.
 Brave Mars has had the messy toil of playing host to our most recent eclipse. For a while now, we’ve had the malefics inhabiting Water signs; so Venus with Her bounty is a welcome guest in Cancer, easing the heaviness of the malefic undertow. Wherever Cancer dwells in your chart, you may now feel less pinned & more cushioned by the comforting presence of Venus.

On the 13th, Venus forms a sober yet profoundly creative trine with Saturn in Pisces.

I have a delectable glut of Water Venuses in my life, & I’ve often found Venus in Cancer has a genius for embodied poetry. There is an empathic osmosis that comes from an almost unbearable sensitivity & vulnerability. Source of a formidable tenderness & sensual human power, (as well as their necessarily armoured aspect).

If Cancer is the Crab, Venus in Cancer is the Oyster that cradles the pearl.

Nesting, nurturing & den-primping is an art form with Venus in Cancer. Sublime sanctuary creators who gather ‘round their hearth the baked-in cosiness of beloved brood, cake & candlelight. Revel in the ensconced voluptuousness.
