Venus in Cancer in the Twelfth House

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

Insicurezze

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 12th House:

There is often a natural tension represented by Venus in the 12th House between the quality of selfhood that is a necessary component of both relazione and evaluation and your conscious or unconscious focus on losing your selfhood.  Having Venus in the 12th House, you must learn to balance the legitimate interests of the self with your desire to attain selflessness if you are to be successful in your relationships and if you are to authenticate your values. You must realize, at some level, that the ego – though it be an illusion – is a necessary tool for functioning within the illusion of existence.

With Venus in the 12th House, you are capable of sensitive and compassionate behavior in relationships, true concern for others, a perception from a higher perspective and the adoption of a value system that is based upon selfless service to others. While engaging in compassionate social interaction, it is often the case that you feel the need to withdraw temporarily and focus within yourself.  This serves to recharge you, provide a needed rest and preserve the balance that you have established.  You are prone to take the needs of others into consideration before your own needs are met.

As an individual with Venus in the 12th House, you evaluate your situation and that of others from a selfless and sensitive perspective and are ever ready to respond with empathy and care. For this reason, it is generally essential that you spend some time alone with yourself,  or you risk burn-out. With Venus in the 12th House, if your attitude and assumptions are not in balance, the drain upon your psychic resources that others impose generally will debilitate you in some manner. Subconsciously, you may adopt defense mechanisms against this debilitation and these mechanisms themselves are likely to be negative. You may experience much pain and suffering in the world, either directly or in empathy with others. This experience generally has a marked effect on you, either in a positive or a negative direction.

Insicurezze

Having Venus in the 12th House, you have no idea of an authentic self and you are, therefore, at the mercy of each and every pull from without. You may think that you give to others, but in reality either they take until you have nothing left or you “give” to feed your ego and to try to establish some identity as a “selfless soul” of “superior character.”

As an individual with Venus in the 12th House, whatever defense mechanisms your subconscious may try to insert in order to protect the ego, you are more likely to be taken advantage of. Thus, you may engage in a series of self-destructive relationships in which your partner takes from you and leaves you in pain. You may make choices that are extremely poor and lead down a self-destructive path. With Venus in the 12th House, you are often attracted to that which will be your own undoing. Often, this attraction is bound up with some illusion or fantasy.  Frequently, you are deceived. Having been deceived so often, sometimes, in self-defense, you become the deceiver and exploiter yourself.

Focus sulla valutazione

With Venus in the 12th House, your tendency is to evaluate people, things and situations from a selfless point of view. Sometimes, you may have no clear idea about your own values, but you attempt to please others by adopting their tastes and values. If who are able to define your values, generally you will find that you rank highly such qualities as generosity, service to others, contemplation, sincerity and sensitivity. However, if you have not examined your values, you may remain confused. You may be subject to deception and being led astray or may find yourself living in an illusion, unable to distinguish the real from the false. Sometimes, your values and choices may be borne out of your experience of suffering.
