VENUS IN CANCER:Â Â JULY 7-31ST
Venus entered Cancer on July 7th  which is one of the better events of the month.
Venus and the Moon are friends although the Moon likes everyone and Venus is not as happy with the moon.  With the moon changing signs every 2.5 days, Venus can be more up and down and emotional. This may be felt more in the first week as Venus moves toward an opposition with Pluto on Friday, July 12th which can lead to a great deal of anger and power trips for Libra and Taurus rising.
 Venus/Moon combinations in Jaimini astrology are particularly good for wealth and abundance so the Moon conjunct Venus Venus and the Moon are good friends in being the two most feminine planets and Venus in Cancer brings out artistic creativity, comfort, elegance, deep compassion and caring, emotional openness, sensitivity, and a deep capacity to love.Â
Venus goes into the constellation of Pushya (Cancer 3.20-16.40) on July 10-July 20th where it gets connected to a strong Saturn. While the two are friends, Saturn and Venus combinations can create love with restrictions, emotional dryness, detachment or love of older people, and strong business abilities. Still, Venus can get frustrated with love and passion because it has too many responsibilities. The constellation of Pushya is one of the most auspicious ones for deep spirituality and wisdom to come out. Pushya is connected to the deity Brihaspati who has the wisdom to advise the gods and is a rival to the devata, Shukracharya, the advisor to the material world.
Venus goes into the constellation of Ashlesha (Cancer 16.20-29.59) known as Hydrae in astronomy July 20-31st and where it is connected to Mercury. Venus gets debilitated in Virgo, so it is not happy to be in Mercury’s star where ugly and jealous gossip and sharp tongues can lead to angry battles between women. Relationships suffer here and can be angry or vicious or filled with controlling energies. Still, Venus can deal with the poisons of Ashlesha better than any other planet with its nurturing and healing qualities but has to move into selfless service to do so. The end of the Ashlesha (Cancer 26.40-29.59) July 29-31st is the gandanta where karmic knots need to get untwisted by Venus is exalted here in the Pisces pada and can deal with it well.
So enjoy Fridays this month when Venus is queen and connected to the nurturing energy of Cancer but always a volatile time as the moon changes signs every 2.5 days and where the Moon is every few days will impact Venus.
