Venus in Cancer in the Sixth 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 6th House:

Having Venus in the 6th House suggests that you may experience heightened insecurity in your relationships and, also, when evaluating your position within your environment. This is because the cusp of the 6th and the 7th Houses  (with the 7th House ruled by Venus) represents a major transition in personal development – the point at which the “person” is complete and is ready to begin their social development. Making this transition, as an individual with Venus in the 6th House, you may have doubts about your worthiness to present yourself in a relation with another person. If this is the case, you probably do not feel perfect enough.

The placement of Venus in the 6th House resonates with this 6th-7th House transition. This tension is compounded by the “weak,” passive nature of the 6th House. Thus, with Venus in the 6th House, you may approach relationships from a dependent perspective. On the other hand, the self-analysis, striving for perfection, and humble attitude that are associated with the 6th House can create in you an ability to relate sensitively to others and also to develop a discriminating sense of values, including a more positive appreciation of your self-worth.

Insécurités

As an individual with Venus in the 6th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will lack a sure sense of your own identity.  Thus, you will allow yourself to be dominated by others in relationships. You will routinely adopt a servile, dependent posture when dealing with others. This may invite exploitation and being used by others. With Venus in the 6th House, you may be too exacting in your expectations of yourself in a relationship, thus producing feelings of guilt. Or, you may apply those exacting standards to actual or potential partners, thereby shutting yourself off from meaningful interaction.

For the individual with Venus in the 6th House, focusing on your own inadequacies, compared to your ideal of self-perfection, may cause you to be overly demanding in how you judge your environment. Nothing will measure up, and you will be in a constant state of dissatisfaction. Your evaluation and tastes may, in the end, be based on petty considerations which, nevertheless, seem important to you.

Objectif de l'évaluation

With Venus in the 6th House, your evaluative faculty is focused on areas involving self-refinement and service. You may have strong preferences with respect to your work environment, health matters, moral or cultural standards, or modes of serving others. You may be a harsh judge of yourself, evaluating your thoughts, motives and actions critically. These judgments are more likely to be expressed as feelings rather than thoughts, and they may also be projected onto others. Having Venus in the 6th House, the judgments that you make are likely to be influenced by codes and standards, by your work or health environment, and by consideration for the welfare of others.
