August 17th, 2017: Venus in Cancer Square Jupiter

- Venus in Cancer square Jupiter in Libra: 19 degrees
Connected to the Venus/Pluto opposition, this square will exaggerate the opposition’s results. If you receive something good, it will be very good. An ugly confrontation or ending will be especially intense.
Jupiter amplifies what Venus wants. The Big Love. The Big Issue that feels so personal. The whole thing will be unbalanced and possibly unfair (Libra) whether the results are happy or not. Perspective will be skewed. If you’re celebrating…congratulations. But don’t try to grab more than you’ve won. If you’re doing the opposite of celebrating, remember that this too shall pass. And this also applies if you’ve won.
August 15th, 2017: Venus in Cancer Opposite Pluto
- Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn: 17 degrees
The opposition is always about you and your relationship to the outside world. Even if there’s not a specific someone, if the transit activates your chart, it will stir up issues of projection, relating or competition. The opposition is also a culmination – you’ll see results, or an ending.
So that sets us up for Venus/Pluto, where love, money or self-esteem based on security needs (Cancer) is intensified and challenged by the ultimate “death” and transformation. Pluto can take away what you thought you needed most. Or, it can introduce a person/goal that you feel you absoltuely must have. Venus in Cancer makes it very personal (you could feel quite vulnerable) and the “other” becomes the key to everything- the humongous loss or the obsessive desire.
Pluto is teaching you through intensity. You were overly dependent on what was taken away (you were trying to control or cling to something). Or, what/who you want out there is a reflection of what you want to develop within yourself. Chances are, you’re projecting your issues onto someone (or they could be projecting onto you).
It all comes back to you. That’s not to say the profound love/lust/success is invalid. Yes, this opposition can bring success, especially when Venus is applying to a square with Jupiter in Libra, exact on August 17th. Sometimes the results equal a transformation for the better. Much depends on what’s led you up to this point – refer back to the November 25th, 2016 Venus/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn to see where it all began.

August 10th, 2017: Harmony and Tricky Moments
- Sun in Leo sextile Jupiter in Libra: 18 degrees
- Mars in Leo inconjunct Neptune in Pisces: 13 degrees
- Mercury in Virgo sextile Venus in Cancer: 11 degrees
- Vesta in Virgo trine Pallas in Taurus: 11 degrees
A mostly harmonious day, with a moment that might trip you up.
Sun/Jupiter is bold and optimistic – things will work out because you feel confident, and confidence will be buoyed by the sense that things will work out. Win-win. Good for attracting favourable attention. However, Mars/Neptune is a caution. For the most part, you’ll be on target, but you can stumble (via misguided actions) if you’re not paying attention. What you’ve been ignoring can weaken your efforts.
Mercury/Venus suggests sweet words that are practical and empathetic. For example, the solution that’s presented with sensitivity, or gentle advice. Excellent if you have to point out an error or deliver a critique – you can phrase it so it almost sounds like a compliment.
Meanwhile, Vesta/Pallas is about devotion to a basic solution that can be used easily and immediately. It’s not a quick fix (results will take time) but it should be easy to access and implement. Vesta picks out a specific detail or problem, and Pallas supplies the stable strategy to address it. Healing and improvements will be visible.
Aspects to Virgo help you address the problem, while aspects to Leo reassure you that it can be fixed. Just keep your eyes on Mars/Neptune – don’t ignore the questionable action.
Venus’ Transit of Cancer
Venus enters Cancer on July 31st. Relationship, money and self-esteem issues are sensitized.
Venus in Cancer is a tender, vulnerable transit – a mix of “I want/I need” and “I feel insecure with what I have.” Cancer’s protectiveness is based on insecurity. You can only connect with others on an emotional level if you feel what they’re feeling, which means feeling vulnerable. You can’t touch and be touched if you’re hiding behind a wall. Everything becomes personal-empathy increases, and so does painful subjectivity.
This can be the transit of hurt feelings. Every disagreeable remark and questionable glance cuts you to the core. Or, it can be the transit of sweet sustenance, as you tap into a healthy exchange of nurturing.
Venus in Cancer expresses love through mothering care. She wants to be needed. Therefore, your own wants and needs will be amplified during this transit. This can range from looking after yourself to looking after someone you love to feeling profoundly hurt because you’re not needed or wanted. Cancer’s connection to family and the past means nostalgia can be depressing or sweet.
The flip side of Cancer’s insecurity is (obviously) security. And that’s the goal of this transit. It’s not just about crying over what you can’t have. Or rampant comfort eating. Although consuming a pint of ice cream is not always a bad thing, food does not equal love.
Ultimately, this transit alerts you to what makes you feel safe. If you don’t feel safe in a relationship, or with yourself, you’re going to be insecure. Developing a level of safety means establishing a comfort zone, which leads to security. Yes, this is one transit where sticking with your comfort zone is actually a good thing. Being secure means you can give and love with warm assurance, rather than grasping neediness.

Being Heart-Centered. Venus enters Cancer, Uranus Retrograde, August Tarotscope
Venus enters Cancer. The week begins to sway in what holds most importance as Venus exits from friendly Gemini on Monday July 31, to enter domestic Cancer. The taste for fresh air and outside connections will slowly become less desirable, as home and inner security begin to hold much more weight over the next four weeks. […]
