Your 2025 Venus in Cancer Horoscope Is Here! What It Means For You
From relationships and earning to romance and even how you've been expressing yourself through beauty and style, the mood has been breezy, buzzy and especially noncommittal, thanks to Venus' time in Gemini, the sign of the Twins. You've likely wanted to flit from one fun-filled activity to the next, prioritizing pleasurable getaways and relate to others in a way that's both playful and cerebral. But as of Wednesday, July 30 at 11:57 p.m. ET/8:57 p.m. PT, Venus will enter Cancer, the cardinal water sign known for being sentimental, emotionally intelligent, family-oriented and security-seeking, setting a whole new nurturing, heartfelt tone. Here, all you need to know in order to make the most of Venus' 2025 trip through Cancer. What does Venus in Cancer mean? Venus oversees relationships, beauty, pleasure, values and money, and every year, typically in June and/or July, the planet named for the Goddess of Love makes its way through Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac symbolized by the Crab. To get a read on how Venus expresses itself when it is in Cancer, take note of the fact that the cardinal water sign is ruled by the moon, the luminary that colors intuition, emotions, instincts, how we nurture and how we want to be nurtured, as well as what brings us a sense of security. In turn, Cancers tend to be emotionally present, compassionate, thoughtful, endlessly dedicated and loyal to their loved ones and sensitive. In fact, they do have a reputation for being rather moody, which goes hand-in-hand with being connected to the moon, a celestial body that changes signs — and therefore, ahem, moods — every two-ish days. A Cancer's emotions often inform their perspective, and when they're dealing with an especially trying experience, they often deal by getting snappy or fully removing themselves from the situation (think: a crab retreating into its shell) until they've had the opportunity to work through the feelings that are coming up for them. At the same time, Cancer is one of the cardinal signs, known for being big picture thinkers who are wired to take the initiative. They're go-getters, and they often assert themselves in an effort to show up for others, care for their nearest and dearest in a selfless way, make their homes especially cozy, serene, welcoming spaces and bolster their own and their family's sense of security and emotional well-being. Crabs are also major fans of nostalgia, often stashing away sweet little mementos that serve as passports to a beloved memory. That said, when Venus is in Cancer, family time is even more of a priority than usual, as are taking walks down memory lane. It's no surprise that this is the time of year when we revisit beloved travel destinations or whip up and indulge in must-have summer treats that we make a point to consume annually. Even if your love language tends to be more words of affirmation or acts of service than physical touch, Venus' trip through the sign of the Crab could inspire more snuggle time and low-key relaxation with your significant other or loved ones. You could find more pleasure in looking back on heartwarming past experiences, like an especially magical date night, family tradition or childhood memory, like picking blueberries or spending sunny summer days at a certain beach. Because Venus is also the planet of money, so while it is in security-seeking Cancer, you're likely to be even more focused on getting your financial ducks in a row, nurturing your self-worth and ensuring that your work aligns with your values. What can you expect during Venus's 2025 trip through Cancer? Though Venus spends time in Cancer once a year, all of the planets move at different rates through the 12 signs, so the planet of relationships syncs and clashes with different celestial bodies every year. In 2025, just a couple of days after moving into Cancer, on Friday, August 1, Venus will square off against taskmaster Saturn and mystical Neptune, both in fellow cardinal sign Aries. In turn, you could face delays, challenges and confusion tied to bonding with others, and the best fix is to prioritize solo time and self-care. Thankfully, Venus' time in Cancer also sets up one of the most romantic days of the year, which falls on Tuesday, August 12. Venus will pair up with expansive Jupiter, the planet of abundance, in Cancer. Expect a surge of optimism, feel-good energy and pleasure, harmony and happiness in whatever area of life Venus is activating for you (more on that in a moment). Here, how Venus in Cancer 2025 will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don't, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.) Aries Prepare for a totally different vibe when it comes to relationships, money and beauty, because Venus leaves your buzzy communication zone for your home sector, amplifying your desire to stay in and cozy up with your nearest and dearest versus saying 'yes' to all of the invitations from your social circle. You can more readily build in downtime spent beautifying your garden, tweaking your home's aesthetic or lounging in the backyard while catching up with loved ones. Around August 1, when Venus squares off against not one but two planets in your sign — Saturn and Neptune — do your best to channel patience and to prioritize self-care in order to work through frustrations in your bonds. Taurus You've been pouring more energy than usual into moneymaking endeavors with Venus in your income sector, but as it moves into your communication zone, you'll feel like you can put a pin in putting your nose to the grindstone in order to connect with friends and colleagues. Prepare for lots of creative, lively brainstorms, fun-filled get-togethers and more texting and idea generation. You'll want to soak up information (maybe join a book club?) and find it's easier to book impromptu getaways, if you're itching to step up your short-distance travel. Look to August 12 as an especially heartfelt, gratifying moment when you can build momentum on an eye-opening learning experience. Gemini As Venus leaves your sign and self-image zone behind for your money sector, you can come up with realistic game plans for setting the wheels in motion on creative passion projects. You can tap into your intuition to get a helpful read on your self-worth and to connect the dots between those feelings and how you've been attracting rewards and recognition. It may also be beneficial to talk through your vision for a new earning plan with a friend or two, given how social Venus is. Around August 12, when Venus connects with Jupiter, making a bold move to boost your bottom line serves you well. Cancer After a bit of a hibernation period tied to Venus being in your spirituality zone, you're ready to manifest more pleasure, fun, optimism and joy, thanks to Venus moving through your sign and self-image zone. You're like a magnet for creativity, playfulness and romance now, so take a moment to get clear on what you want most out of this especially fortunate chapter. Maybe you'd like to launch an ambitious creative project or initiate a conversation with your significant other or someone else special about taking your relationship to the next level. This can also be an amazing moment for experimenting with your personal style and approach to beauty. Around August 12, when Venus pairs up with lucky Jupiter, the sky's the limit for fulfilling a heartfelt desire. Leo Venus has been in your networking zone the last few weeks, which has fueled your ability to be a team player and work with others toward a communal goal, and now as it shifts into your spirituality zone, you'll want to take a step back from being so social. This phase is about reveling in being even more private and self-protective and emphasizing meditative self-care. You could be inspired to sign up for a meditation class, to work on your deep breathing practice or to work with a mentor or practitioner you trust to address an imbalance that you feel is holding you back from feeling truly centered and vital. While this might not be the most exciting moment, doing this kind of self-nurturing work for your mind and body sets the stage for feeling your best once Venus enters your sign on August 25. Virgo As Venus leaves your industrious career zone for your networking sector now, you'll find even more harmony and pleasure in working with others and checking in with friends from different social circles. You could make new connections who share your aspirations and might even be integral in helping you move the ball forward on those big picture dreams, whether personal or professional. You want very much to feel like part of a community now, and meditating on what you want that to look like can make it your reality. Look to the days around August 12 as a moment when everything you've been wishing for could come together without much effort at all. Libra Steel yourself to step into the spotlight, because Venus, your ruling planet, leaves your higher learning and adventure sector now for your professional and public image zone. All that restlessness and wanderlust you've been grappling with lately isn't going to abate entirely, but it could inspire you to start putting yourself out there in new ways on the job. Whether you want to throw your hat in the ring for a thrilling opportunity, take on a leadership position or command the spotlight by making a key presentation, you'll be on fire and fostering a greater sense of authority. Around August 12, when Venus links up with Jupiter, you might attract well-deserved recognition from higher-ups. Scorpio You've been pouring a lot of energy into your closest relationship and tending to shared financial goals lately with Venus in your intimacy zone, but now, as it moves into your adventure sector, getting out into the world becomes more of a possibility. Whether you've been itching to book a long-distance trip, take a class to hone a new skill set, spend a day at a museum, work with a mentor to soak up knowledge or see your favorite live music, you can look forward to plenty of opportunities to broaden your horizons, especially alongside someone special or a significant other. This vibe reaches a fever pitch around August 12, thanks to Venus pairing up with magnifying Jupiter. Tap into your instincts and your gut to lead the way, and the experiences you move toward and make a reality should feel nothing short of exhilarating. Sagittarius The planet of relationships has been in your partnership zone since early July, so your one-on-one bonds — with friends, loved ones, a significant other, even a business partner — have been front and center. Now, as Venus shifts into your intimacy sector, you can concentrate your emotional energy on your closest relationship, whether that's with a romantic partner or potential love interest. Cue lots of heart-to-hearts and chances to talk about your needs between the sheets. And because Venus is also the planet of money, and this sector oversees joint resources, you could make impressive strides on a shared financial aspiration, especially around August 12 when Venus links up with lucky Jupiter, inspiring you to go big or go home. Capricorn Your day-to-day routine and wellness approach has gotten a boost from Venus spending time in this part of your chart since early July, but now, it shifts into your partnership zone, breathing more harmony and balance into your one-on-one bonds. If you've been wanting to smooth over misunderstandings with a loved one, find common ground with a business partner you've been butting heads with or negotiate an important contract, you have a green light now to go for it and drum up positive results. You can also find more time in your busy schedule to pair up with someone you adore and enjoy a beloved shared activity, whether that's a favorite yoga class or day at the pool. Crankiness or general gloominess could strike, especially with loved ones, around August 1 when Venus squares off against Saturn, your ruler, and Neptune in your home zone, and that's when stepping away to tend to your own needs might be your best bet. Aquarius Venus has been in your romance and self-expression sector recently, bringing a lighthearted, fun-loving tone to your relationships, creative projects and moneymaking plans. Now, as it moves into your wellness and daily routine zone, your everyday hustle will be more social and, in turn, gratifying. You'll be inspired to invite friends along to try that new fitness studio or to meal prep alongside your significant other or beloved sibling. Taking care of daily business with your loved ones not only feels productive but can boost bonds all around. Around August 12, setting ambitious goals in this area of life could produce applause-worthy results, too. Pisces The planet of romance leaves your home zone for your romance and self-expression sector now. You'll be feeling more lighthearted, spontaneous and playful, eager to pour your feelings into a favorite creative outlet or to make out-of-the-blue, adventurous plans with your significant other, friends or loved ones. There's almost no better time of year to experience this transit, given that late summer is typically wired for taking a step back from work and embracing more pleasure and fun, so if that's your instinct, you have a clear runway to go for it. Around August 12, sharing exactly how you feel with someone special sets the stage for pure magic. For more horoscope content, keep scrolling!

Sales pitch that lured A-League legend out of retirement to lead line for Crabs
Pink playing strip and crab dances - Daniel McBreen was sold. McBreen has shelved retirement to play for the Croudace Bay Crabs in Zone League Two - the fourth tier on the Newcastle pyramid - at the ripe age of 48. The 2012-13 A-League Golden Boot winner and Mariners legend scored with his second touch on debut for the Crabs in a 3-0 triumph over New Lambton Juniors at Smith Park on Saturday. "It's just a bit of fun," McBreen told the Newcastle Herald. "Pink shirts, crab dances when you score ... I was sold. I like a stupid goal celebrations. "I have only played 45 minutes of XI v XI in five years. I came back to play for Edgeworth in 2023 after calling it quits in 2019. I played half a game in a friendly against South Cardiff. Two days later I snapped my Achiles. "I have been doing a lot of running. Two weeks ago I left home and did a half marathon. That is totally different to sliding into tackles and changing direction. I was a little concerned old man syndrome might kick in. "I had 30 minutes on Saturday and was breathing heavy after 15." McBreen's football focus has been on his A-League commentary gig with Paramount Plus and burgeoing academy - Newcastle Elite Football Academy - in which he is a partner alongside Roy O'Donovan, Taylor Regan and Ben McNamara. However, a chat two weeks ago with former Edgeworth teammate Wayne Bailey over a couple of beers lit a spark. "Every year we have a catch up to mark [former Edgeworth winger] Mick Williams' passing," McBreen said. "Bails was there and asked me if I missed playing. I told him I'd love to play but there are heap of caveats, I can't train, it has to be Saturday and I don't want to stop a young kid from getting a game." Bailey, after an extensive playing and coaching career in the NPL, is now in charge of the Crabs. "My son, Andrew, is there with a few mates and asked me to help out," Bailey said. In its second year, the Crabs have gained cult status after a stunning run in the Australia Cup, highlighted by a 3-1 upset of NPL club New Lambton. They have carried the cup form into the competition proper, winning every game to sit seven-points clear at the top and on track for promotion. "They are a good bunch of boys and can play a bit as well," Bailey said. "It is quite a competitive comp. We have won every game but it is not like we are cruising. "We take it serious but we enjoy it as well. It is a good mix. On match-day, I get into them now and then. We have a pretty professional set up. "A lot of the boys can't commit to the NPL so they play here. There is no money or anything. I think Macca had to pay his rego. "It all happened pretty quickly. He liked the fact we wear pink and are called the crabs. He still had that competitive urge. The more we spoke about it, the keener he seemed. "I told him to ring me Monday, that way I know it is not the beers talking. "I gave him 30 minutes on the weekend. He was making runs and scored with his second touch. The more game time he gets the better he will play. He is just great for the club." Pink playing strip and crab dances - Daniel McBreen was sold.

Weekly Horoscope 1 June, 2025- 7 June, 2025: Libra, Sagittarius and other sun signs
Weekly Horoscope 1 June, 2025- 7 June, 2025: Tension is dropping – which has to be a good thing. A clash of wills should now be over, and you should be seeing a very favourable resolution to old problems. Everybody's interests will be served by increasing good feeling, including yours. Give yourself the same support you normally give to others. You see, now that creative and individualistic influences in your chart are so strong, it's important that you stand out from the herd and insist that you're recognised as the creative and independent person that you are. You may long to let up and lounge in a back seat while others take responsibility. Yet with the Sun, Moon, Mars and Pluto all lined up in significant sectors of your chart, you may have no choice but to gird your loins and stand up for yourself once again. More relaxed conditions will return soon. Venus and Jupiter are an absolutely splendid combination of planets. In fact, rarely have your stars been so inherently prosperous. But unless you keep your eyes open, the opportunities may pass you by. The best is yet to come, though and, within the next fortnight, you should have received a small windfall. Some of your planets remain resolutely romantic, dreamy, imaginative, sensitive and, above all, fortunate in love. There'll be moments when artistic and creative Crabs will be on top of the world, perhaps because there really does seem to be the chance of a breakthrough. You are bound to be caught up in events outside your control and you may as well accept that certain plans are bound to be postponed or delayed. No matter. The vacuum could be filled by excitement, drama and adventure beyond your wildest dreams. Family members require your sympathy and assistance. You don't usually let the world see how astute you are, but your management of family members and younger relatives is to be admired. Now that other people are in such an emotional mood, they will turn to you as the one individual capable of maintaining order. You may be tired of being singled out as the peacemaker, yet it's partly for your own peace of mind that you try to bring rivals and enemies together. This is a time of potential misunderstandings when it will be up to you to explain the truth and point out the facts. Emotional turbulence is being whipped up by some stormy and very rare celestial alignments. You would be advised to devote a great deal of attention to all secret activities, and to encourage people who rarely express their emotions to speak their minds. You may keep travel plans to a minimum, fulfilling only long-term arrangements. For some reason, work or even health questions, may cause you to change your ideas. Important decisions are due to arise from serious and emotionally-charged discussions, and a loved one can help look for the answers. What a week this is, with all the planets at sixes and sevens. For once, though, your sign is steering clear of the celestial shock waves. You stand to benefit from gifts and generosity to an unprecedented degree. Romantic Goats can expect their dreams to be fulfilled. There is everything to be gained from bending in the wind and much to be risked from refusing to compromise. Only if you are ready for anything, should you follow the impulsive path which seems to be such an obvious option. Remember that special people are depending on you. Fight for your principles, but not at the cost of alienating those whose support and sympathy are so important to you. Also, check all travel plans and be ready for the unexpected. Your romantic stars are excellent, and rapidly getting better, but you need to forget old fears – and stop worrying so much!
