Fireworks are out, and sentimentality is in. As Venus moves through Cancer from July 30th to August 25th, we’ll be swapping flirty banter for cozy quality time. Offering your bestie a cup of tea in their favorite mug — or passing a cute box of tissues — is the kind of caring gesture we can expect when the planet of love and connection meets the nurturing sign of the crab.
Take this opportunity to slow down and devote your wholehearted attention to everything you find beautiful. Light a scented candle that unlocks a distant memory. Fill your diary with unsent love letters. Or rewatch that emotional support TV show for the 100th time. Venus in Cancer teaches us that there’s nothing wrong with cherishing a sense of comfort, safety, and security. Over the coming weeks, prepare to find pleasure in unexpected places, including your own sweet company.
Horoscopes for Venus in Cancer — Collage of a clam with a pearl, a magic wand, two dogs, roses, two starfish, and a heart.
Remember: No matter how much affection you offer someone, it won’t guarantee that they’ll suddenly text you back. When Venus lodges in this sensitive water sign, it’s especially important to be choosy about who deserves your top-shelf TLC. The moment you tell yourself, “I can fix them,” ask yourself if you really should. Are they respecting your feelings as thoughtfully as you’re considering theirs?
Being a compassionate friend, partner, or collaborator doesn’t mean throwing out your boundaries with the bathwater. So if you catch yourself trying to read someone’s mind or overanalyzing your crush’s emoji choices, pause and reflect — then hash it out with someone you trust. And if you find yourself clinging to a potential romantic outcome, playing a past disappointment on loop, or pining for the one that got away, give yourself some grace. During this transit, big emotions are in the forecast, but you get to decide how you want to brave this cosmic weather.
Your horoscopes are meant to be read as inspiration. If you know both your rising sign and Sun sign, please read both horoscopes. You’ll know which one resonates for you. Take what works and leave the rest. If you’d like to share this work, please credit the source and provide a link to this post or chani.com.

Home is where your heart is — pinned on the sleeve of your favorite jacket, of course. With the planet of care in the sign of deep feeling, now is the time to be open about what you need to feel safe and supported.
Whether you’re setting boundaries with family, showing up as the caregiver you’ve always deserved, or sifting through charged childhood memories, trust your intuition to guide you through this process. Even if it makes you feel vulnerable, emotional honesty will help you build foundations that are uniquely yours.
Let your feelings flow through your words. Break up with the idea that you have to win an argument to make an impact. Your emotional truth is what matters, even if it seems a little messy.
With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling and intuition, broadcasting your innermost thoughts isn’t just a pleasure; it’s how you’ll build the support systems you need. So tell your friends, family members, and group chats how they can best show up for you. They’ll be glad you said so.
You are worthy of abundance. Break up with the idea that you have to hustle harder to prove yourself.
If you tell yourself any overly rigid stories about money, come up with some gentler alternatives. With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling, seek the income streams that will not only honor your creative gifts but help you support yourself in a way that’s sustainable — even enjoyable.
Leading with your talents might make you feel vulnerable, but it’s exactly what the world needs right now.
The part of you that feels it all is precious. Break up with the idea that your sensitivity is a weakness. With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling, the right opportunities will not only affirm the potency of your creative self-expression; they’ll help you learn what you need to feel completely in your element.
You might feel vulnerable when you drop the mask of ironic detachment, but taking the risk of caring “too much” is far more enjoyable. Promise.
You don’t have to carry everything alone. Break up with the idea that staying strong means hiding your tears behind dark sunglasses (even if the vibes are immaculate). With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling, it’s time to check on your emotional bandwidth, especially behind the scenes.
If you’ve been running on fumes, ask for a lighter load. Share the hard stuff with someone who’s earned your trust. Even a quiet moment with a journal can help you clear away the mental clutter. Let yourself exhale.
You can’t network your way to a sense of belonging. Break up with the idea that showing up “perfectly” is what builds community. With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling, ditch any performative commitments and flow with the people who are genuinely supportive.
Make emotional check-ins your social MO. Say yes to spaces where mutual care is the norm, not the exception. If a group chat or shared goal isn’t clicking anymore, trust your instincts. Only the causes that match your dedication, please.
Quit masking your feelings to be taken seriously. Break up with the idea that professionalism means leaving your emotions at the door. With the planet of connection in the sign of intuition, this is a time to lead with your EQ.
Whether you’re managing a team, navigating career goals, or redefining your 10-year plan, trust the paths that honor your sensitivity instead of suppressing it. Other people are drawn to your sincerity — honestly. If you sometimes feel like you care “too much,” make it your brand.
Not every path that calls to you is meant to be followed. Let your feelings be your compass, even if you end up pivoting to a totally different route. With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling and intuition, emotional truth is worth much more than clever arguments.
Notice which teachers, mentors, books, and big ideas get under your skin, even if you don’t understand why. The right opportunities to expand your world will speak to your heart. Trust the goosebumps.
Break up with the idea that collaboration equals clinginess. You don’t have to do everything on your own, but joining forces doesn’t mean giving up your freedom.
With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling and intuition, the right relationships will not only strengthen the potency of your creative projects; they’ll help you learn what you need and how to negotiate for more of it. Teamwork may make you feel vulnerable, but it’s what pushes you to heights you’d never reach by yourself.
The right people won’t get the ick when you get real. They’ll meet you there (with blankets and snacks). With the planet of love in the sign of deep feeling and intuition, your 1:1 dynamics are asking you to soften, not retreat behind a hard shell.
Break up with the idea that relationships must be perfectly “figured out” to be secure. They just need care and emotional availability, even if that makes you feel vulnerable. So drop the poker face and bring all your feelings to the table.
Your productivity doesn’t define your worth. Instead of powering through your feelings to meet a deadline, organize your schedule in a way that’s actually sustainable. With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling, build routines that prioritize your emotional health.
Setting work–life boundaries can be scary, but this is the best way to support yourself right now. If this means certain to-dos or timelines slip, so be it. When your innermost needs are taken care of, your creativity flows.
Joy doesn’t have to be “earned.” Break up with the idea that play is only a reward for getting everything else done. With the planet of connection in the sign of deep feeling, it’s okay if an art project or fun pastime serves no purpose beyond getting something out of your system.
Right now, if unwinding means zoning out with a cheesy reality TV show, own it. Trust yourself to know exactly what will fill your cup. Whatever you want to create, let the emotional release be reason enough.
