Cat Newflake Posts: 0 From: USA Registered: Oct 2009	posted July 02, 2003 04:27 AM Hi silvana Thank you for sharing your feelings, I really appreciate that and I'm pleased that you're enjoying the lessons. I wish you well and much happiness in your current relationship. What sign is your mate? I hope he will appreciate the sensitivy of your Cancerian Venus and also that you'll find the way out of that Cancerian shell as yes it is so easy to hide in! Sue IP: Logged
Aphrodite unregistered	posted July 02, 2003 03:58 PM Hi Sue, I haven't asked my roommate what her birthdata is. I actually remembered it written down and recall myself meditating on her birth number at the time I saw it. She has Venus in Cancer, Moon in Aquarius No planets in Capricorn. I will search for a way to find her Rising sign. It may well be Capricorn. In which case, the homemade denture mold present with poem written across the gums fits perfectly with Venus in Cancer Love, Amy IP: Logged

silvana unregistered	posted July 03, 2003 12:11 AM Hi everyone! (that's pretty funny about the dentures, i'm an artist and i tend to make pretty bizarre little creations too!) My sun is in taurus, my moon is in leo, rising sign cancer, and venus cancer... My lover is a libra, and his ascendant is leo and his moon is sagittarius. His venus is in virgo. . . I think he sees my sensitivity very well, and even understands it perfectly. The only area of concern is how he responds to it, but it appears this takes work and communication? All very new to me...love and astrology. My two favourite things. thank you, thank you, thank you for this beautiful site everyone! it just made my day! IP: Logged
Cat Newflake Posts: 0 From: USA Registered: Oct 2009	posted July 03, 2003 10:45 AM Hi silvana Great to see you here What kind of "bizarre little creations" do you make? Hey now there's a coincidence - my Venus is in Virgo & Moon in Sagittarius, same as your partner but my Sun's in Virgo. I'm really pleased you're enjoying the site and look forward to chatting some more. Also to hearing more about how you "experience" your cancer Venus. Sue IP: Logged
silvana unregistered	posted July 05, 2003 01:09 AM Hey! That is a coincidence. It's an interesting mix, I think! A free wheeling, responsible, analytical, jovial philosopher librarian? Ha, astrological stereotypes are fun. Hmm, the Cancer venus. You know, this is really helpful to meditate on, I've never done that before. I think a great deal of insecurity comes with the Cancer venus. From what I can see (from personal experience, and blending first hand experience with Cancers) it gives you an almost unquenchable desire to love and give love freely. I think this placement is condusive to partnerships in that the person with Cancer venus gains so much strength and personal expression through being able to express the love that they hold within themselves. It's like having a huge gift to give someone, but hiding it in case they don't want it, or something. So, despite all my abilities to love, the abandon requried to allow myself to let myself give my love fully is a bit restricted. I guess the tenuous crab is trained to hang on to things until it knows they're certain. It makes for a very yearning sort of personality, I think. A desire for security, but a need to lose onself in love...sigh. p.s I can see why an aquarius would need to run run run away!! IP: Logged
Aphrodite unregistered	posted July 05, 2003 02:04 PM Hi Silvana, I have Cancer Rising too . . . I am the same way with having a big present to give, but holding it back in case the person doesn't want it, OR disregard it as null and void. Hard balance to strike. I have that yearning attitude, and don't make any moves unless completely certain and secure when it comes to the heart. In order words, "Is this person being serious, or are they a faker?" The Cancer Rising radar sensitivity will catch almost anything that borders on a lie, pretense, drama, to genuine sincerity and truth. Aphrodite IP: Logged
Cat Newflake Posts: 0 From: USA Registered: Oct 2009	posted July 05, 2003 02:20 PM What would be needed for a Cancer Venus to come out of their shell? Is it anything specific or lots of things or does it just take time for them to feel secure enough? What would make them feel safe and secure? Nuther question....what kind of things would make them retreat back into that shell? Sue IP: Logged
SunShyne unregistered	posted July 06, 2003 12:41 AM You'd have to shower lots of affection on them, give them time to figure out whether you're trustworthy or not and be very patient while they're sizing you up for your sensitivity and compassion quotient. Nurturing and affection bring them out of their shells because of their need for security. So if they see you can give it, they'd rather be with you than in their secure - yes - but lonely shell. Cancer was not made for loneliness. They'd retreat at cruel, cutting arguments or extreme shows of uncontrolled rage. If you should ever break their trust, keep going, and don't look over your shoulder...they're done. SunShyne IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted July 06, 2003 04:26 AM SunShyne-yep, yep-it can feel pretty scary when a Cancer Venus thinks you've broken their trust. I had to work all sorts of magic on the Leo when his supposed friend made him believe I'd broken his trust. Exasperating. lol IP: Logged
taj unregistered	posted July 06, 2003 04:34 AM venus in cancer is nurturing. she wraps a muffler around love's neck to keep it from catching a cold, holds an umbrella over it to keep it from getting wet, and draws the drapes to keep other eyes from prying. IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted July 06, 2003 04:36 AM taj-that last bit is so true...and so cleverly said. IP: Logged
Cat Newflake Posts: 0 From: USA Registered: Oct 2009	posted July 06, 2003 05:10 AM Hi Sunshyne Excellent post (as always) You also made me think about polarities..... Mixing together astrology and psychology, paying attention to polarities always gives great insight as to what's actually "going on" with a person. An easy example of polarities in astrology is the differences (polarity) between their Ascendant and Descendant. From a psychological view point - whenever someone expresses an extreme emotion you should look for the polarity to the emotion that's being expressed. Cancer retreating into their lonely shell, is strong reaction/emotion which says "leave me alone, you can't come in here" when actually as you very rightly pointed out, they are not made for loneliness and this is not what they really want. Polarities are very enlightening. Sue IP: Logged
Cat Newflake Posts: 0 From: USA Registered: Oct 2009	posted July 06, 2003 05:16 AM Hi taj I really like your observations, they're fun and I think a great way to help everyone remember things. Your descriptions conjure up picture images - I can actually see a Cancer Venus wrapping that warm snuggly scarf around someone's neck. Fun visuals are a great way of remembering things.

SunShyne unregistered	posted July 06, 2003 10:17 AM Wo, Oxy, how did you get out of that one?!! Sue, love your thoughts. Looking at it that way, it really does make sense that opposites seem to have a basic understanding of the differences in their natures. Yeah, I love the way you express yourself, Taj! IP: Logged
taj unregistered	posted July 09, 2003 09:58 AM oxy, sue, sunshyne. thanks! IP: Logged
Oxychick unregistered	posted July 09, 2003 10:16 AM Hi SunShyne Well, his Pisces friend who kept htting on me (and who I turned down flat each time) told him otherwise and I made the Cancer Venus talk to me (that's the hard part-he HID, but Linda Goodman said Aquas are natural born detectives. ) and I reassured him that I didn't want anyone else and that I could never do that to him. It took a little while. They just need to be coaxed out of their shells...very, very delicately. IP: Logged
SunShyne unregistered	posted July 09, 2003 01:05 PM Ooooh! Sneaky lil fish! IP: Logged
Purpleflame unregistered	posted July 11, 2003 11:02 PM Thanks for all the info about the Venus in Cancer. Looks like I have a lot of mending to do. Can you give me some effective ways in which to heal the rifts? Thanks, and wow do you people ever paint a vivid picture of the sideways crawl. IP: Logged
prettzel unregistered	posted July 19, 2003 07:22 PM Hi all, My Venus is in Cancer...in the 4th house... it is also conjuct with my mercury... but now i am confusing myself... anyway some of the things that have been said so far, certainly do apply to me, although i am not sure how sappy i am...probably because my moon is in capricorn. although inside i guess i can be, but you would never know it... I am VERY into color and art and pottery...handmade things, and fine food and wine, i do not do pottery or paint myself, but my home is filled with pottery and artwork i have been so lucky as to receive. i am a soft round girl, who could definately ease up on the fine food...but whateva... i am very shy about having people come into my home who i do not know well and feel fully comfortable with. I have been told that my place is very comfortable and warm and cabin like... i prefer to call it my cave, which i hide in. i love to feed my friends and share my drinks.... i love colored glass and things that hang i the window so the color comes through. i also NEED to spend time near water, almost everyday, or i become very cranky and stressed. i usually head to the creek or the beach. i tend to fluctuate with my affection...sometimes VERY sometimes NOTHING, and i get upset when by boyfriend thinks i don't love him because i seem distant (although that is probably my Cappy moon vs his Aries moon) i like my sweets, but can be a bit of a snob about them, in that it has to be i tend to prefer the hardcore expensive chocolates to a candybar. Most of my food is organic as well. i am a VERY loyal friend, and will always try to be there for you... and can be VERY moody/crabby. i can be very possesive at times. i try to hide my feelings a lot, but apparently i suck at it, because everyone can tell when something is up with me right away...which bugs me. hmmm, ya, i dunno i feel like i have gone on for too long... time to retreat into the shell...

Cat Newflake Posts: 0 From: USA Registered: Oct 2009	posted July 20, 2003 05:28 AM Hi Prettzel Thank you for posting that. You have a great understanding of how your Venus works for you As you have Venus natally in your 4th house - this is bringing the home influence to your Venus. (We'll be covering how the house position "colours" Venus as soon as we've finished going through all the sign placements). Can you see how the fact that Venus is natally in your 4th house gives you the desire (Venus) to make your home (4th) beautiful (Venus) ? So your Venus doesn't do pottery or paint yourself but it likes the beauty (Venus) of it, so loves (Venus) to have it in your home (4th) Fine food is your Cancer Venus so is loving to feed your friends and share your drinks. I love the fact that you like to call your home your cave - that's a wonderful description for a Cancer home I look forward to when we move onto Venus in the houses as your post is a wonderful description of how Venus in Cancer "works" in the 4th house. I'd like to talk some more with you about that (if that's ok with you) when we get to Venus in the 4th house lesson. Sue IP: Logged

OdessaStar unregistered	posted August 15, 2004 03:21 AM Hah! I'd love for my mate to be all of these endearing Venus in Cancer qualities ... but he's got his moon in Aquarius, so I don't know if that cancels out the Venus influence. He's not very demonstrative, and I'm always wondering if I'm stifling him in some way (which I would hate!) Throw me into the mix -- also a Venus in Cancer -- and you've got 2 crabs retreating into their shells. IP: Logged
