Try to be gentle and caring with people and see what a positive difference it will make in your relationships. Make sure you don’t take things too personally because sensitivity will be at an all-time high, especially as Mars is also in Scorpio (retrograde till June 30th) bringing the most emotional element of nature: water into the spotlight.
Cancer has such a protective instinct that it can sometimes be needy and clingy. You may be ultra-sensitive to rejection and take someone’s comments far too seriously. Keep this in mind and try to give those you love enough space so that they feel excited to come back home to you.
Keep in mind that your family and loved ones are not mind-readers. There is a tendency while Venus is in Cancer to expect others to know what your emotional needs are. If something is lacking in a relationship, you need to speak up and face it directly. That way, you stand a chance of resolving it and releasing your fearful emotions. The more you keep them inside of you, the more they will fester and eventually cause you physical and mental harm. If you are too nervous to discuss something directly, at least make a commitment to journal your emotions so that they can be mentally released.
This is a great time to do anything that’s ‘homey.’ For example: decorating, renovating, cooking, gardening. Remember to take care of yourself. Don’t be tempted to mother everyone else and neglect your own needs.
Venus rules not only your love life, but also your finances. Cancer is a cardinal sign, so this can be a good time to start a business, especially if it involves food, family, home, property, land, massage and any kind of nurturing body treatment, working from home, security, safety, interior design.
