In astrology, Venus is known for having a strong influence on our love lives. Venus entered Cancer on June 17 and will remain there until July 12. Venus in Cancer has an overall positive impact on our romantic relationships, but it can definitely cause some unexpected emotional reactions! However, it can also help strengthen your bond with your partner and spice up your love life. It’s important to understand how Venus in Cancer can impact our relationships so that we can take advantage of its romantic energy. Here a few things to expect over the next month:
- Emotional ups and downs.
When Venus is in Cancer, the highest of highs can be followed by the lowest of lows. This means that although every kiss will feel more romantic and dreamy than the last, every little fight could also feel like the end of the world. Learn to ride these waves with your partner and work through your problems with honesty and maturity.
- You’ll feel more sensitive.
This is why your emotions will be all over the place. Venus in Cancer causes us to feel everything more deeply, on every level. Your sense of touch will be heightened, and even holding hands with your partner will feel intense. But a misunderstood comment or an unanswered text will suddenly feel extremely insulting. Remember how much they love you and want you to be happy-don’t waste time overthinking mistakes.
- Be cheesy!
Venus in Cancer makes us want to express our love in every way possible. Plan the elaborate dinner date you’ve always dreamed about at your favorite restaurant-bring an extra bottle of wine! Try something new in the bedroom. Buy your significant other a spontaneous gift, leave little love notes around the house, and don’t be shy about expressing your affection. Single? Invite your friends over to have a cheesy romance movie marathon.
- You’ll crave physical intimacy.
Venus in Cancer can make you crave physical contact in any form. You’ll want to hold on a little longer when someone gives you a hug. You’ll melt a little bit when your partner plays with your hair and feel butterflies when their fingers even brush your skin. Take advantage of these feelings and plan a romantic evening in the bedroom with your partner! Let them sweep you off your feet and enjoy the feelings that Venus in Cancer sends your way.
- You’ll want to share your love with everyone.
Your lovey-dovey feelings won’t just extend to your partner. You’ll feel more compassionate towards everyone. Take time to spread the love with your friends and family. Call your parents-they probably miss you. Plan a coffee date with an old friend and spend an afternoon catching up. Give your pet an extra treat or two. Let everyone around you know how much you love and care about them and watch all that love come right back to you!
