Venus in Cancer 2025: What it means for your sign

July 30, 2025 - August 25th, 2025

On July 30th, 2025, Venus—the planet of love, beauty, values, and what brings us comfort—enters the emotionally attuned waters of Cancer, where she’ll stay until August 25th, 2025. Unlike when she was in the previous sign of Gemini, Venus in Cancer isn't the flirty type. It's more about nurturing care. She isn’t about fleeting crushes (Gemini) or glam aesthetics (Leo); she wants depth, sincerity, and soul-soothing security. Keywords: soft blankets, home-cooked meals, forehead kisses, and tear-stained poetry under the moonlight. Venus in Cancer is classic romance meets chicken noodle soup.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so when Venus swims here, our desires become moodier, more intuitive, and deeply connected to the past. We crave emotional safety. We seek connections that feel like home. And yes, we might get a little clingy. But we also learn who (and what) truly nourishes us.

Whether you're single, partnered, creatively blocked, or craving a spiritual glow-up, Venus in Cancer is your cosmic permission slip to soften, connect, and heal.

Here’s what this tender, lunar-flavored transit means for every sign. NOTE: This is written for your rising sign. If you do not know yours, then just read your sun sign for a more general reading.

Aries ♈

Tender Territory

Your edges soften during this transit, Aries. With Venus lighting up your 4th house of home and roots, you may feel called to nurture your space, reconnect with family, or dive deep into emotional memories. It’s not your usual jam, but vulnerability can be surprisingly empowering. Romance? It’s the slow-burning, let’s-build-a-life kind.

Taurus ♉

Sweet Conversations

Venus—your planetary ruler—is gliding through your 3rd house of communication and local happenings. Expect a boost in heartfelt conversations, poetic texts, and even flirty banter that leads somewhere meaningful. Your words carry warmth now—use them to soothe, inspire, or seduce. Siblings or neighbors may also play a more supportive role.

Gemini ♊

Nostalgia Meets Value

Venus settles into your 2nd house of money, self-worth, and possessions. You’re reassessing what truly feels worth it. Sentimental splurges might call to you (vintage records, heirloom jewelry, memory-laced meals). But the bigger theme is aligning your finances with your emotional values. Build from the heart, not the hustle.

Cancer ♋

Glow-Up from the Inside Out

Venus is in your sign, darling. That means the spotlight is on you—your beauty, your vibe, your magnetism. You’re exuding soft power and soulful allure. This is a fabulous time to revamp your look, attract affection, and reconnect with what makes you feel safe and radiant. Romantic opportunities? They’re coming to you like moths to moonlight.

Leo ♌

Private Longings

With Venus dipping into your 12th house of dreams, secrets, and solitude, love goes undercover. You may find yourself yearning for someone silently, rekindling an old flame in your mind, or nurturing a spiritual or creative muse. Let yourself retreat. Healing is sexy, too—and necessary.

Virgo ♍

Kindred Connections

Your friendships get a warm infusion as Venus visits your 11th house. Sweet reunions, soul family vibes, and emotional support from your community are all on offer. You might even catch feelings for a friend—or be inspired to build something beautiful with your crew. Either way, connection is your currency.

Libra ♎

Public Affection

Venus graces your 10th house of career and public image, softening your reputation and bringing admiration your way. People are noticing your grace, your charm, your dedication. It’s a great time to beautify your brand, elevate your professional presence, or even find love in high places. Spotlight’s on—make it heartfelt.

Scorpio ♏

Romantic Wisdom

Your 9th house of travel, philosophy, and higher learning is bathed in Venusian light. This is love as expansion—whether through a long-distance flirtation, spiritual study, or artistic pilgrimage. Let your heart roam. What nourishes you may be outside your comfort zone, but it will teach you something profound.

Sagittarius ♐

Soul Mergers

Venus stirs your 8th house of intimacy, transformation, and shared resources. Superficial won’t cut it—you want deep trust, emotional transparency, and psychic-level connection. Financial collaborations could also bloom now, especially if they’re based on mutual care. Just be mindful of emotional entanglements.

Capricorn ♑

Love, Actually

Venus moves into your 7th house of partnerships, bringing sweetness to your one-on-one bonds. If you're in a relationship, this is a time to cuddle close and rebuild trust. If you're single, keep your eyes open—someone with soulmate energy may quietly appear. Let yourself be loved without having to earn it.

Aquarius ♒

Devotion in the Details

Venus is helping you romanticize the little things as she journeys through your 6th house of rituals, work, and wellness. Fall in love with your routines. Add softness to your schedule. A workplace crush or healing through acts of service could surprise you. Kindness is your love language now.
