| Former President of the Maldives Mohamed Nasheed has Venus in Cancer |
Rolling the words around our tongues, engaging in light hearted flirtations and spreading our wings were just some of the delights that Venus gifted to us during her stay in the sign of Gemini, The Twins. From the 3rd June 2013 until 26th June 2013 Venus immersed herself in the waters of Cancer The Crab.
Cancer delights in grabbing hold of things, hugging them close to the chest and sometimes transporting them away, off into infinity. For that short period of time when Venus was in that sloppy old sense of delight the cosmos will have urge us to surf the breaking waves for the ride. Venus’s visit here in Cancer with the crustacean would have wanted us to squeeze our loved ones tight and to shower them with oodles and oodles of sweetness and just generally make sure they are safe and this applies whether to those of you born with this natally, or just at any time when Venus passes through the sign of Cancer or any Cancer activity.

A word about Venus, Venus Come Out Of Your Shell basically she likes to indulge. Feeding the body, anointing it, making it look, smell and fee lovely is what she is generally all about. There are other things she loves, such as beauty in all it’s forms, and an appreciation of the finer things in life, art, culture and social bonds. Relationships, money and fairness are part of the things Venus desires. A run through that list gives us a clue on just how fundamental and central she is to our lives. Love and Money, get those two things sorted and most people feel they have a good handle on life. You can deny one but it is unusual to deny both. Unless you just deny everything.

| Victim of Domestic Abuse & Murder Nicole Brown has Venus in Cancer Former wife of Professional Footballer O J Simpson, who was accused of viciously butchering her and her friend Ronald Goldman to death with a knife and getting away with it in a media fuelled ‘Trial of the Century’ 19 years ago but was later found liable in a civil suit filed by the victims families. |
Venus had been teasing, light and curious during her time in Gemini which got us all kind of used to that way of being, taking things on face value, using detachment but what happened when she moved to Cancer, how different was it with The Squeezy Squeezy Crab running the ‘Love ‘n Money Show’? As a word of advice, don’t stray too far, don’t push a joke, operate caution and stick around. Do this and you could have navigated your path through easier than had you played around, expected to be excused or tried to keep things on the low-low.

| President Barack Obama has Venus in Cancer In the wake of his climate change speech, Obama has expressed reservations about the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline project in the New York Times on the 27th July 2013, stating that it would not create many jobs and could raise gasoline prices. He disputed the economic benefits justification for the pipeline and confirmed that he would reject the project if it were to ‘significantly exacerbate‘ carbon pollution. ‘Republicans have said that this would be a big jobs generator. There is no evidence that that’s true’ |
If you wanted to attract, it would have been in your best interest to have been aware that during this time, emotional intelligence, for everyone, would have been amped up to the max. From whatever base level we started from, during these few Venus in Cancer weeks it would have risen up quite a few notches. Hiding would have been pretty impossible although what we many of us may have secretly wanted to. There would have been very few emotional hiding places.

Accused Boston Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has Venus in Cancer His older brother Tamerlan died in a police shootout after the bombing, leaving an American widow, who is reported to have been completely subservient to him, leading others to believe his brother may have also felt equally intimidated. Dzhokhar’s old teacher exclaimed ‘I knew this kid. He could not have possibly have done this. He could not have been a sweeter more gracious young man. I cannot believe he was capable of such a heinous crime and of so many murders…..as the old Hebrew expression goes. You got to be f……me.’ Classmates also could not come to terms with his behaviour.‘I don’t believe I know that bomber…And I’ve known him for yeaaaarssss!!!! Dzho this is ridiculous man .. what happened bro, daaaamn I thought u loved us dude!!!!’ |
We would all have had a month where our relationships may have got a bit more ‘cozy’ or claustrophobic depending on your bias, and Venus in Cancer comes from a very deep bias which basically is, To Have And To Hold Is The Only Way. Gooey, sensual, slurpingly indulgent and wickedly physical Cancer is not one of the signs which says No! to self indulgence, so when Venus the Goddess of indulgence comes to stay this can be quite a combo.

Before we get too carried away it may also be the case that we became much more insecure, clingy and hypersensitive as our feelers are on full alert for any sign of danger or threat whether to ourselves or our loved ones. This could have made us all too weepy or a bit childish, scary and scared. Or our instinct may have been on red alert.

| ‘Father of Fracking’ George Phydias Mitchell has Venus in Cancer Born in Texas to Greek immigrants he started his working life as a ‘wildcatter’ drilling exploratory wells and became a billionaire. Mitchell also drilled for natural gas using hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking. Where sand, water and other liqiuids are blasted into rock formations at high pressures unlocking trapped oil and gas. Environmentalists fear chemicals used to crack the rock endanger the environment and threaten groundwater. Mitchell who died on the 26th July 2013 aged 94 also voiced concerns himself, ‘The administration is trying to tighten up controls. I think It’s a good idea. They should have very strict controls. The Department of Energy should do it…because if you don’t do it right there could be trouble’ |
Key to understanding what is going on for us is to look at where in ourselves we are ‘Cancer-attuned’, we all have degrees in our birth chart which looks out for any Cancer vibration. Where is your personal Cancer antenna? It will be good to look at how smoothly do the matters connected to your Cancer house and/or planets run? Are they functioning as well as they could, or is there room for improvement? What do you think?

If you have Cancer spanning the 5th zone of Romance & Creativity, you may find your ‘fun time’ gots a perk as what you do for the sheer love of it deepens and may go to another deeper level. Who or what do you love the most?
If you are a Sun sign Cancer then hey this stuff is easy right? Well yes, but to a point, even a sensual, emotionally aware Crab needs to have a hug and have its own demons shooed away. If your own Venus is in Cancer, lovely, a time to welcome in new arrivals.

| Italian Integration Minister Cecile Kyenge has Venus in CancerOriginally from Democratic Republic of Congo she had bananas thrown at her at a political rally on the 26th July 2013. She has faced racial slurs and threats on a regular basis since joining the Italian government. Robert Canteroli a member of the Italian senate and a member of the anti-immigration Northern League party likened her to an orangutan. Another Northern Leaguer Doloros Valandro wrote on her Facebook page in response to an article about the alleged rape of two women by a Somali man.‘Why no one ever rapes her, so that she understands what the victims of this heinous crime go through! Shame!’. Kyenge who is Italian and Congolese replied ‘I don’t want to comment because everyone should feel offended, not just me. This language instigates violence and doesn’t belong to me.’ |
For the time of Venus in Cancer we may have had a cupboard stacked full of emotional pot-pouri, our senses may have been sharpend to a fine point and we could have dived deeply into the embraces and cooing sweet nothings from those close to us. When Venus moves in with the Lion in Leo we were ready to switch our desires towards a more outward focus but very much on ourselves contrasting very much with Venus in Cancer. As always its been emotional.
