• OOB VENUS ENTERS CANCER ON 18-19 MAY 2026

  • Venus in CancerOOB VENUS ENTERS CANCER 

    The caring partner or the stingy lover…from socialite to housewife

    The most motherly of signs welcomes the most loving of planets and it looks like we’re in for just over three weeks of tender, caring love or are we? Especially since Venus will remain OOB* from 04 May to until 07 June so we can expect a planet that doesn’t exactly behave according to the norm.

    One of the images of Venus in Cancer is certainly that of the romantic figure forever in love with Prince or Princess Charming. Venus, of course, doesn’t rule only love, it also covers, among many things, finances, self-esteem and all the things that gratify us. Venus responds to everything that makes us feel good, comfortable and happy. In traditional astrology Venus is known as the Lesser Benefic and considered a fortunate planet. The sign of Cancer, ruled by the Moon and its fluctuating phases, lends a rather restless nature to any transiting planet.

    So, in Cancer, we may find not only a clingy, maternal Venus but also a fickle one, never completely happy with his or her lot, never sure about how much to give unconditionally.  Venus here is more compassionate than actually physically passionate. Viewing this placement from the a “giving” point of view we might like to remember that the glyph for Cancer is a crab and (hermit) crabs retreat into their shells when their security is threatened likewise Venus in Cancer never gives totally (be it about love or money)….self-security is far more important than surrendering completely and ending up without defenses or moneyless.

    During its stay in Cancer Venus will make the following connections:

    18-19 May: sextile Mars (00°13’ Taurus-Cancer) – perhaps a day to fight for what makes you happy.

    21-22 May: square Neptune (03°51’ Aries-Cancer) – defending what feels right even if might only be an illusion.

    28-29 May: square Saturn (11°59’ Aries-Cancer) – it can’t possibly be as bad as it feels!

    09 June: conjunct Jupiter (25°46’ Cancer) – happiness could also mean eating way too much cake!

    *So, what does it mean for a planet to be OOB? When we cast an astrological chart we use a precise locality (birth place) on the earth and from this observation point we take note of the position of the planets in the sky at the time of birth and this enables us to calculate the angles that the planets form to the given locality. Another point of reference however is the celestial equator (which is the terrestrial equator elongated into space). When planets travel beyond 23°27’ either side of the celestial equator, be it North or South, they are referred to as “out of bounds”.

    OOB planets can also be found in birth charts and special attention should be paid to them since they are considered important since they can bring up connections to each other which are not necessarily visible in longitude.
