VENUS IN CANCER 7 MAY 2023 The caring partner or the stingy lover…from socialite to motherly 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 until the 2nd of June. One of the images of Venus in Cancer is certainly that of the romantic figure forever in love with Prince or Princess Charming.

The Sun is at 13°37’ Cancer in the sign of the Moon and is separating from retrograde Mercury, both planets oppose by sign, but not by degree, the stellium of planets in Capricorn [...]
