Interpretation

Venus in Cancer loves through care, protection, and emotional intimacy. You are attracted to people who feel like home — safe, warm, and emotionally available. Your affection expresses itself through nurturing: cooking, remembering details, creating sanctuary. The gift is a love so tender it heals old wounds. The shadow is clinginess and emotional manipulation disguised as care.
