Venus leaves the chatty zone of Gemini, and tucks herself at home, seeking emotional safety in the sign of Cancer. Venus in Cancer has dignity by triplicity in the water element. It also has dignity by term between 7-13 degrees, which translates approximately to 24th -30th May.
Venus, the love goddess, looks for a sense of belonging in Cancer. She wants to stay in the comfort of her castle and be surrounded by beautiful artifacts. She pours her creativity in the kitchen and satiates her family's stomach with her home cooking. Cancer is a cardinal sign, where she is the warrioress, protector of her family and home.
Transit Timeline
Venus sextile Mars on 19th May: A great time for socializing, though you may prefer to hold small group gatherings or home dinner parties rather than dining out. In matters of romance, both parties are shy or uncertain when it comes to initiating a date, but once that is overcome, an enjoyable time awaits.
Venus square Neptune on 22nd May: Watch out for mixed signals; go for direct confirmation to avoid unnecessary confusion, as unromantic as it may seem.
Venus square Saturn on 29th May: A period where you may question your worth; a time of isolation; a time where external challenges are there to make you mature.
Venus conjunct Jupiter 9th/10th June: An auspicious time where the two benefics join up to bring joy, prosperity and love to all. Jupiter is in exaltation, and that could bring a sense of heightened expectations. Events may not turn out to be how you would expect, mainly due to overrated expectations.
