Venus in Cancer in the Fourth House

The placement of Venus in Cancer indicates that you have a need for nurturing and for an emotional outlet, both within your relations 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.

Insécurités

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 4th House:

Having Venus in the 4th House may suggest some social introversion or withdrawal, the qualities of stability and contentment that you may possess can compensate for any lack of excitement in your life. Placed in the house ruled by the Moon, the emotional qualities associated with Venus are brought out in your tastes, values and relationships. With Venus in the 4th House, in order for you to nurture and enjoy your relationships and the things that you like, you may require a somewhat sheltered and peaceful environment. Therefore, you tend to concentrate your affections within the close confines of your family.

With Venus in the 4th House, you tend to look for values that are deep-rooted and stable. Stability and a sense of rootedness often seem to provide the emotional environment that allows you to feel comfortable in opening up your receptivity and giving and receiving affection from others. You may also be inwardly receptive to your own emotional and psychic inner life.

While you may enjoy a richness of experience, both inwardly and within your family, you may also seem limited in your range of experience. As an individual with Venus in the 4th House, you may find that your tastes, attitudes and relationships are highly conditioned by your upbringing and family influences. You may not care about and, therefore, not experience much of the wider world outside your circle of everyday domestic life. With Venus in the 4th House, what you may find rich and satisfying, others may consider boring. You, too, may become bored and dissatisfied with the range of your sensate and social experience if you there are other forces that are pulling you beyond these boundaries.

Insécurités

With Venus in the 4th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will fear to contact what is truly Real, or anything that is beyond your normal experience–for such contacts and relationships may bring pain and rejection. You protect yourself against what might be distasteful and disquieting by confining yourself within the familiar and predictable. Your tastes and judgments are all predetermined and do not deviate from what is expected of you by your parents and family.

Having Venus in the 4th House, you confine your relationships and much of your life within the boundaries of family life and everyday existence. In this, you live happily, seemingly, though this is the ignorance of bliss. You are actually quite vulnerable to disruptions that shake your known and predictable world. You judge harshly anything that is beyond that world, and therefore a threat.

Objectif de l'évaluation

As an individual with Venus in the 4th House, it is not unusual for you to first evaluate your experience through the lens of family background, conditioning and expectations. Your tastes and opinions are not likely to be very different from your family’s or from those around you. You are also likely to judge things in terms of whether they contribute positively to family harmony and a smoothly-running domestic life. However, having Venus in the 4th House, you may be consumed with wanting to determine the underlying properties of things. You evaluate them, not on the basis of surface characteristics, but on what is at the bottom of a phenomenon. You may be attracted to basic values, or you may be a restless as you realize that those values that appear to be valid on the surface are not necessarily true.
