4 Zodiacs Who Will See Their Relationships Shift During Venus In Cancer

It’s time to shake things up in our relationships this summer, friends!

From June 16th to July 11th, Venus—the planet of love, beauty, and relationships—will be in the sentimental water sign of Cancer. During this transit, we often gravitate towards themes of security and nurturing, and it’s no surprise we may notice whether or not our relationships provide these qualities. If you don’t have the stability you crave, you may see some shifts and re-evaluations of your connections. This can be a time to address concerns in your relationships or find new ways to connect.

While all the zodiac signs will feel the effects of this transit, a few signs may notice direct shifts in their romantic lives. Check the signs below (Sun and Rising!) to see which four zodiac signs will experience relationship shifts during Venus in Cancer.

Capricorn

Your relationships are getting some major attention. Capricorn. As Venus moves through your 7th House of Partnerships, this time is best served in addressing anything that isn’t going smoothly in your relationships and working to build more stable partnerships. Security is important to you, and while providing is one way to achieve this, nurturing and being present in your connections are just as valuable. However, it’s not entirely on you to keep the relationship alive—it must be reciprocated. If things are going well in your connections, this time can be spent finding new ways to show your deep appreciation, and intentional romance will get you where you want to go, my friend. If you’re single, you may find yourself leaning into a partnership or actively seeking out one with the same values, and you could find the opportunities are closer than you think. 

Pisces

You’re feeling yourself during this transit, Pisces. As Venus moves through your 5th House of Creativity and Pleasure, you recognize the importance of being free and not taking things too seriously. Your attraction and charm levels are through the roof, meaning if you’re single, you could notice you’re getting more attention than usual. If you’re partnered, you may feel more playful and romance-minded, which could refresh your relationships with sparks you haven’t experienced in a while. This period could pose trouble if it turns out that expressing yourself freely and fully causes a negative response from your partner; in this case, it’s good to evaluate the connection if the person you’re with doesn’t want you to be yourself. Don’t be afraid to lean into who you are!

Cancer

This Venus transit is calling your name, Cancer! Venus will be moving through your 1st House of Self and Identity, emphasizing the importance of self-love and pursuing your desires. Naturally, the planet of love and beauty will likely give you a confidence boost while attracting others to you, meaning if you’re single or looking for a relationship, you may have more options at your fingertips than usual. If you’re partnered, Venus serves as a reminder that you are allowed to have needs, wants, and desires in your romantic connections. You deserve to be nurtured and cared for in the ways you do for others. This Venus transit could remind you that you can care for yourself, but you can also ask people to step up to the plate and show up for you in the ways you need. The ones who truly value you will want to show you how much they are, so it’s worth paying attention to how people you love respond when you ask for what you need—it may say more than you realize.

Sagittarius

Things could be getting intense for you, Sagittarius, but it’s worth paying attention to! As Venus moves through your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, you could notice a desire to form deeper, more intimate connections with those you’re close with, and the accompanying feelings could be a lot to manage. Fostering this level of closeness could be profoundly healing for you and bring you to a new level in your connections. However, this could also be a period of going beneath the surface and confronting relationship fears and anxieties that have gone unaddressed for too long. If your relationship feels like a safe place to do so, this could be beneficial, but if things are shaky or you don’t feel total trust, it could make things more complicated than usual. You know you need to feel nurtured and secure to work through these things, and you could learn more about your relationship during this time. You are allowed to be vulnerable, so ensure you’re with someone who can allow you to be.
