Venus in your birth chart

Venus in Cancer

Love that shelters

Venus in Cancer loves by caring. You bond through tenderness, memory and the wish to build a refuge where the other feels safe. You're sensitive to emotional tides —yours and others'— and offer a loyalty that verges on protective. You value intimacy, small rituals, the feeling of home. You open slowly, but once you do you give yourself fully. The challenge is not to retreat into your shell when you fear being hurt, nor to care for the other so much that you forget to ask for the care you need too.

You're drawn to

Tenderness, protection, someone who can build a home.

The challenge

Not hiding in your shell for fear of being hurt.
