The Truth About Venus And Why It Can't Be Exalted In Cancer

The Truth About Venus and Why it Can't be exalted in Cancer

My retake on the Cancer vs Pisces : Who should Venus really be exalted in? post.

I've read almost all the responses under this post talking about how Venus makes more sense exalted in Pisces, and although I still stand by some of my previous claims, I do have to say I may of had a change of heart.

Yall brought up some really good points, it made a lot sense and fit the narrative I didn't see before, which is what Venus actually represents in a person's chart.

A lot of you guys worded it a lot better than I could, but to basically give a summary of what everyone said that I agree with is that while Venus does represent relationships of any kind, money, art, indulgence, ect, Venus is about what we want, not what we need. It's about things that make us happy in the moment and we crave more and more of it because we can never get enough of it and it's not truly fulfilling, it's just things that give us cheap thrills.

In this light, I can see how Venus is a lower octave of Neptune because both are related to addiction, art, indulgence and idolization. Pisces is ruled by Neptune the planet of addictions, what our generation dreams and fantasizes about, what kind of art and symbolism our generation enjoys, and what we're delusional about. It's about what makes our generation happy, but not fulfilled. Venus relates to a singular person at a time in this regard, where as Neptune has to do more with a generation, but both are essentially about the same things.

Venus is about what makes us artificially happy in the sense that Venus is like candy and sweets; Yeah it taste good and we want more, but it's not bringing us much nutritional value or anything, and in big amounts it's harmful to us. Where as the Moon is like a full course dinner, yeah we like it, maybe not to the degree of the candy, but it fills us up, satiates our hunger, and keeps us more fulfilled than the candy.

Cancer, as a sign, strives for that longevity of nourishment and emotional happiness, it will go through unpleasant times, trials and errors until they found the one. They do not love freely and only invest their time and emotions into something they know will pay off for them in the long run. If you just so happened to be the one, they will love you what seems like endlessly and show a devotion like no other, however it is likely if you did not match up to their ideals or check off the boxes for them, they would not love you the way they do, which like someone said in the comments, it's conditioned love, it's love at a cost.

Venus loves freely without attachment to anything, taking and loving freely as it pleases and doesn't want to worry about the longterm consequences, it's all about satiating that urge in the moment. Something Cancer is not about, they are worriers of the future and things will impact them later.

I never really looked at Venus in this light before but it does make sense, and I'm surprised I didn't see it sooner. Either way, these are the main reasons to me now why it isn't exalted in Cancer, and why Venus is not all it seems.

However these are just my thoughts, what do yall think Venus should be exalted in? Is there anything else you think Venus is about? What does Venus and the Moon mean to you? Let me know your thoughts💕

Slay it's gonna be bad for me too cuz Mars and Venus are gonna conjunct Lilith in my SR chart. And Lilith is gonna square my SR moon, which is in Scorpio in the 10th house (double detriment)💀💀 I'll be praying for the both of us😫🙏🛐🛐

Astrology Observations 4 : Solar Return Chart Edition

Having your SR Ascendant in the same sign as your natal chart's planet ruler sign will mean you'll likely have a lot of growth and prosperity that year. I have Sagittarius Rising (My Jupiter is in Scorpio). I've had SR Scorpio Rising twice in my life, and both times I did I went through many transformations and had a lot of good luck during those years. Possibly the best years of my life.

Having Jupiter or Saturn in your 4th house could mean you move houses that year.

Having Venus and/or Mars in your 12th house could make people obsessed with you and want to learn more about you, this is probably because you appear mysterious to them even if you're a generally open person, and they wanna get to the bottom of the mystery.

Whatever house pluto is in for that year will be where you change the most. For example if you have 5th house pluto one year then you may get a new hobby or something about your original hobbies will change durastically. Or 8th house pluto could mean you have a sexual or spirital awakening, maybe a near death experience, or you feel like a part of yourself died inside you.

Mars in the 11th house can mean you're more outgoing and even aggressive amongst friends and peers that year.

When the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction, there is a new moon. So those who have this placement that year will likely have many moments of realizations about themselves and be in very in tune with their emotions, wants, needs, ect. This is a very self aware period in your life but also an AMAZING time for manifestations to occur, you may literally speak some things into existance this year! When you align your emotions with your goals, and vise versa, great things will happen for you!

Along this note, check what house(s) this conjunction falls in! If they both are in different houses, it may weaken the manifesting power. However, if they are both in the same house, look at that houses themes to see what you'll need to focus on and to build up your karma for so you can more properly manifest!

Uranus aspecting North Node could mean a huge change in your plans or destiny that year at any point. For example you could be working on your art hobby and career but suddenly you get more chances at a cooking career or find yourself more interested in baking as a hobby, if that makes any sense.

Lilith in the 1st house, 10th, and/or conjunct to any of your personal planets can indicate being an over all social pariah that year. People may betray or break off relations with you, you may slowly realize some people are becoming more hostile to you, you may be seen as a bad guy in every situation, people might make you feel ashamed of yourself, ect. This is NOT a fun placement to have.

However, having Sagittarius or Gemini in your top 3 for that year though could mean making a lot of friends that year and learning about a lot of diferent peoples lives.

Having beneficial planets or astroids like Venus, Jupiter, Ceres, or Pallas conjunct to your Midheaven means you'll likely have a very prosperous and lucky year in your career and workplace. Things may feel like they just come easily to you.

Wherever your Sun and Moon are placed in the chart can show where most of your emotional and over all focus will be for that year. For example if you have your Sun in the 11th house and your Moon in the 2nd, many themes that you'll focus on that year will be finding your self worth in the groups you're in, standing up for your personal values, and trying to find what your place is in social circles.

Sun in the first house can indicate needing to focus more on yourself that year. More self care and less about other people's problems.

Having a Pisces or Scorpio Ascendant, and/or personal planets in the 8th/12th house are other very powerful placements for manifestation.

Saturn in the 4th house could mean something terrible or life changing is going to happen to you that year. You'll likely learn a lot of life lessons and karma will come to you, good or bad.

Speaking of the 4th house, this probably goes without saying but 4th house sign will show what kind of life to expect at home for that year, Mars or Saturn ruled signs will likely be malefic in this house and can cause some issues for you that year.

I don't know if this is because I'm a Sagittarius rising or if it's just because Jupiter is a lucky planet, but in all the best years of my life, Jupiter was strongly aspecting my ascendant (conjunction and opposition).

Venus aspecting Mars in SR 🤝 being the center of attention wherever you go and having everyone fawn over you for that year. This can also indicate a huge glowup, not just look wise but also socially as well. You will likely gain some level of popularity or positive recognition this year, even you're a more private and not outgoing person.

Having the astroid Nessus conjunct to any of your personal planets or points could make you a target of abuse and bullying for that year. However having Nessus or Uranus in the 3rd or 6th house could also generate the same effect.

Whatever house Uranus is in will be where you can suddenly lose and gain something of those themes all year long. For example, having Uranus in the 7th or 11th house could mean suddenly losing friends and/or close ones but also suddenly gaining them. Another example is Uranus in the 4th could mean having a family member die unexpectedly, or suddenly finding out a family member is pregnant.

Having Moon in the 10th house can indicate spending a lot of time working to advance in your career. You'll likely make big steps towarda your goals because of all the thought and soul you're going to put behind it this year. Same goes for Mars or Saturn in the 10th.

Speaking of Saturn, wherever Saturn is placed in your chart can show what you may have difficulties with or lose this year, but after working towards fixing it and learning from it, you will likely be awarded for your efforts in the end with getting back what you lost or gaining something better. Saturn is breaking you down and building you back up stronger and wiser. Saturn represents our life lessons for this year and makes us appreciate what we have by taking it away from us, but giving it back after we learn and grow.

Pluto aspecting the Moon or Ascendant will make you more sensitive but give you more emotional perseverance. You may become a person for people to lean on and look up to because of how emotionally strong and intelligent you'll likely become this year. But you may go through a destructive period this year that changes your perspective and warrants this change in your emotional psyche. Like Saturn, it'll tear you and all that you know down, to build you up stronger and wiser.

However, if Pluto is harshly aspecting your Sun, you might go through a long period of hardship or some kind of long lasting difficulty. This is because once Pluto starts aspecting your Sun, it'll stay in aspect of your Natal/Transit chart AND in many of your SR charts to come. So having it harshly aspected to your sun sign is NOT ideal. Pluto aspecting the Sun in SR will likely stay that aspect for 10+ years. You will have to change and transform a LOT during this period of your life, when either you want to or not.

Neptune in the 5th house could mean you focus on not very important things a lot this year. You'll likely focus a lot on yourself and what you want, but not what you need. You may neglect a lot of things you have to get done and procrastinate a LOT.

Uranus 9th house can indicate stepping out of your comfort zone and traveling a lot in general this year. You'll likely discover some new places that you like but never went to before.

Saturn 6th house can be a depressing placement for the workaholics, and over all anyone out there because it may feel like in the beginning of having this in your SR that no matter how hard you work that you're not getting anywhere with it and you're stuck in one place. You may feel more unaccomplished and/or unsuccessful during this year.

Pisces vs Cancer : Who should Venus really be exalted in?

Okay, as we all know, the signs domicile in Venus are detriment in Mars. Venus rules over Taurus and Libra, but those signs are in detriment in Mars. It's vise versa with Aries and Scorpio for Venus. It's a full circle relationship between Venus and Mars, but is it really?

Why is Venus exalted in Pisces? Wouldn't that make it fall in Mars because it's exalted in Venus? If Capricorn is exalted in Mars, wouldn't that make it in fall in Venus, and Venus exalted in Cancer?

I think it makes sense that Mars is exalted in hard working, determined Capricorn; And I think it would make sense for Venus to be exalted in Cancer.

Firstly, because Venus is all about relationships, and what people don't usually tell you is it means ALL relationships, NOT just spouse/partner relations. It can be spouse, friends, family, ANYONE, relationships of any kind. Our Venus sign is all about how we interact with others and what we look for when we interact with others.

Secondly, Cancer is known for being very home and family oriented, they nurture and pamper others they love. This usually extends to anyone close to them and many people in their lives. Cancer is a sign ruled by the Moon. Venus and the Moon are both heavily related to themes of feminity, just in different ways. The Moon is the feminity in one's inner self and emotions, while Venus relates to feminity on an outer level and how we project it outward to others.

While some say Neptune is a higher octave of Venus, Neptune has more to do with our generations dreams, idealism and idolism, our delusions and things kept secret from us by our sub conscience.

Plus, Pisces isn't a sign known for being relationship/people oriented. When you think of Cancer, typically, you think of how they care and nurture others. For Pisces, you usually think about how spiritual they are and thier connection to the 6th sense. They also rules the 12th house, the house of dreams, the unconcious, things hidden from us by ourselves, karma, but most importantly for this case, The 12th house rules over isolation. Which is the farthest thing away from what Venus is about, because like I said, Venus is about how we interact with others and our relationships with others. So why would a sign that's notorious for being a bit detached and prefers their own company, be exalted in Venus?

Thirdly, If we look at Mercury, it is ruled by Virgo and Gemini. However, most people also say Mercury is exalted in Virgo, the sign it also rules. So why isn't Jupiter ruled and exalted in Pisces like it's sister sign is to Mercury? Wouldn't it make sense to have the Virgo and Pisces both be exalted in the planets they also rule over if one does this??

Basically having Venus exalted in Cancer and Jupiter exalted in Pisces would be more reasonable and make more sense in the grand scheme of things. However these are just my opinions and thoughts on this. Who do you think Venus should be exalted in?

Thank you for tagging me, @linnienin!!💕🌸

My tropical placements are -

Sun in Cancer

Moon in Leo

Sagittarius Rising

My sidereal placements are -

Sun in Gemini

Moon in Leo

Scorpio Rising

I relate more to my tropical placements because I resonate more with Jupiter's energy (Sagittarius and Cancer). I still do relate and resonate a lot with Pluto but I don't feel the full Scorpio/Pluto-Ascendant mix as much, I relate to Pluto 1st house with Jupitarian energy more than both Scorpio asc AND Pluto 1st house, I'm not FULL edge lord okay💀.

I feel more in tuned with my tropical fire signs because I'm a very passionate and expressive person around people I'm comfortable with! Plus I love Sags clown jokester energy🤡🤡. But also Pluto 1st cuz I'm also very secretive.

I have Leo Moon in both, which isn't suprising because I can be very dramatic emotionally and creative. I absolutely LOVE the spotlight when I'm ready for it 🦁 💕

Tagging @dvinetreep9 @brielledoesastrology @hotdogdynamitezzz @rtofbs @sassysaturnian @plutosmoonchild
