Venus in Cancer in the Second House

The placement of Venus in Cancer indicates that you have a need for nurturing and for an emotional outlet, both within your relationships and in the way in which you formulate your value system. This sometimes manifests as a protective or defensive attitude, if you feel threatened or if you have too much sensitivity. Venus in Cancer symbolizes an emotional approach to those functions symbolized by Venus. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Cancer are a result of your need to feel cared for and emotionally safe in your relationships and values.

Venus’ placement in Cancer is somewhat ambivalent, as is symbolized by the natural sextile between Cancer and Venus-ruled Taurus combined with the natural square between Cancer and Libra, which is also ruled by Venus. Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign. Venus is symbolically bathed in the waters of Cancer and emits a soft effulgent glow. This is conducive to harmony and a warm, emotional perception of well-being. However, when Cancer’s protective nature symbolically places a crab shell over the Venusian energies, relationships may be negatively affected.

Venus also symbolizes the anima in the psyche. Thus, if you are female with Venus in Cancer, you are likely to model your femininity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Cancer. If you are male, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Cancer-associated traits.

Inseguridades

Having Venus in Cancer, when you are insecure about your own emotional strength and your value system is very self-centered, you are likely to be plagued by a fear of getting hurt in relationships. Ever sensitive, this fear is so pervasive that it leads you to avoid commitment and reaching out to others. In essence, with Venus in Cancer, your insecurity surrounds you with an emotional and social wall. Your self-imposed isolation occurs at a great loss to you.

Venus in the 2nd House:

Venus in the 2nd House is generally a favorable placement for Venus, since Venus rules the 2nd House. When placed in the 2nd House, the evaluative and absorbing functions associated with Venus tend to be emphasized over its association with relationship. Physical security needs and comfort are the focus of the 2nd House and the evaluative functions symbolized by Venus tend to be employed in acquiring and enjoying what you need and value. Even your relationships tend to be oriented more toward practical concerns.

With Venus in the 2nd House, the psyche’s capacity to take in and evaluate impressions is particularly at home. You first determine what is good (or what is best) for your benefit and then you attract these things to you. This process of judging in order to acquire requires that you have a clear understanding of your own value system. Having Venus in the 2nd House, if you do not know for yourself what is valuable to you, then you will obtain what others (or what society) deems is for your own good. This basket of goods may or may not be what you really enjoy. However, if you know what you like and value, then, on obtaining it, there is no one more likely to truly enjoy what you have.

Inseguridades

With Venus in the 2nd House, perhaps knowing subconsciously that there is no real security in the possession of material objects and wealth, you try to fill the void that you feel within by pursuing the acquisition and enjoyment of material and sensual pleasures. You are obsessed with what is attractive and pleasing and wanting to possess it. Unless you possess things, you do not feel satisfied; but even possession does not result in real satisfaction. You either fear the loss of your possession or you yearn for the next thing that has captivated you.

As an individual with Venus in the 2nd House, you are a slave to your senses and their perpetual yearnings. You are bent on acquiring more and more and you delude yourself that your acquisitions are necessary or that they are worthy and beautiful or that having is equivalent to enjoyment. You are simply led from one thing to another and you never discover or value that which is real and permanent.

Enfoque de la evaluación

Having Venus in the 2nd House, you are likely to be quite conscious of the degree to which you are materially secure. This is often an object of frequent evaluation and validation. How well off am I, today? What is my current net worth? This stock-taking, while generally taking place at the material level, can also be a spiritual or moral stock-taking if you have transformed your value system.

With Venus in the 2nd House, you are also likely to be judging whether a thing is valuable or likable with a mind to acquiring and possessing that thing. You may be asking the question, by how much will this thing add to the value of my possessions or to the enjoyment I receive from the things that I own? Lessons that you may need to learn in order to grow spiritually are that you can truly possess nothing and that you need to approach the world with equanimity because, ultimately, both pain and pleasure come from the same Source.
