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!

Pisces Career Horoscope In the heart of the Sun's first full week in your work sector and as you continue to unpack both a New Moon here and all the water that has passed under the bridge in just a short period of time, you will be starting to sense a lack of urgency.

Weekly horoscope for July 27 – August 2: What the stars have in store for every zodiac sign revealed
OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes. Read on to see what's written in the stars for you today. ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20 12 Letting love calm down into a quieter, more peaceful passion may go against your instincts, but Venus is supporting this move in favor of the future. If you are single, this can mean choosing a less-exciting but more-exacting match, at least to try. Your work abilities may feel stretched, but all the while, they are growing, ready to surprise you and the world. TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21 12 That conversation you know you need to have with someone you love keeps getting pushed to the back of your mind and your diary. But this week is different; this week you can and should start to speak, with Venus' full backing. You have a really sharp eye for property prospects that others may miss, and a last-minute route change can be the key. Most read in Fabulous Luck wears blue stripes. GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21 12 Believing yourself to be 'good with money' is step one in becoming just that. So do lower any barriers in your own mind that may be holding you back. At work, asking for what you know you are worth is easier, and at home, just one small change in a daily spending pattern can start a cascade of positive potential profits. Love repays any risks in terms of talking. CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22 12 Venus joins Jupiter in your personal star space, and your love-life can be an enthralling mix of passion, bravery, and luck. But none of this matters until you are ready to make it count! So do be the boldest version of yourself you can be all this week. As Saturn's caution lifts, if you see a sudden career chance, try not to waste it. Your Mercury skill lies in cash organisation. LEO JULY 23 - AUG 23 12 This is a week for love fantasies coming down to earth, as you pair up with Venus for dreamy romance. Any recent sense of being restricted in what you can say or do can lift clean away, and as soon as you imagine a sexy partnership move or spot a new love interest, you know exactly what to do. Funds for a special trip can be right there waiting, when you realize where to look. VIRGO AUG 24 - SEPT 22 12 Try not to take loyalty or friendship for granted this week, but show special people how much you care and value their support. When respect is truly a two-way process, so much can change for you. The sun highlights dark secrets and takes away their power, so you see a way through a difficult time. Love is lighter, but with a core of strength. Luck circles 'D' names. LIBRA SEPT 23 - OCT 23 12 Spinning thoughts settle into a clear set of choices around midweek, when your moon-based instincts are also so strong. So trust yourself to make the right decision, but do make one, rather than trying to keep every option open. As Venus reaches the top of your chart, you're at the top of your love game, and such a hot passion pick. Single? Look back at a chatty Leo. SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22 12 The way you work matters as much as what you do – your chart encourages including others in your decisions and being prepared to listen. Then conflict can change to co-operation. You have a bold love style, but it's also willing to learn and grow, so you accept passion may not be perfect all the time, but that's what makes it interesting. Single? Your soulmate sings out of tune. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21 12 It may feel too soon for love to go deeper, but Venus has decided that needs to happen, so get ready. You're always there for the fun, but the serious side of life asks for your attention right now too, especially at home. When you show your vulnerable self, the response can be so positive. Luck looks south and can link you to any contest with several rounds. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20 12 The heat and light of your chart centres on your weddings zone, so whether you feel ready or not, permanent promises can be brewing. From an exchange of keys to an exchange of rings, your heart is about to find a new home. The Pluto effect on cash gives you a thread of unexpected daring; what will you do with this? A closed creative work door can open up. AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 18 12 Turning your spotlight on yourself and giving yourself the time and space you need to think, or perhaps to heal, is a smart move this week. Self-care is very far from selfish, and right now you could really need it. The moon encourages you to let all thoughts flow freely, even difficult ones. This is how you can reach a big life or love decision. Luck swaps odd numbers for even ones. PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20 12 Fun and flirtation are the gifts of your new Venus chart, and everyone can be surprised by how you take this and run with it. You can make a move towards the future, or the fantasy, you truly want, rather than settling for what you have.

Stunning space snap hides rare ‘one-in-a-thousand' secret – and it may be the first time it has ever been seen by humans
A STUNNING photo has captured a rare secret among the stars - and it could be the first time the phenomenon has ever been seen. Astronomers believe they have photographed the first ever birth of a supermassive black hole. While experts have gained an understanding of what these A supermassive black hole weighs millions, to tens of billions, of Suns, and form the centre of almost every galaxy. It forms the gravitational centre for everything else - including stars and planets - to revolve around. However, scientists now believe they have seen a Read more Tech 1 Three supermassive black holes can be seen in a newfound discovery Credit: NASA This could provide valuable insight into the space wonder. The process was captured in a pair of galaxies whose light has travelled for 8.3 million years according to The discovery was made by a Yale-led astronomy team, in a galaxy they've called "Infinity". Its name comes from its figure-eight shape, as three supermassive black holes can be seen as the galaxies collide. Most read in Science Within each galaxy a supermassive black hole can be seen at its nucleus, with a third glowing at their overlap. The team used a CLOSE CALL 'It was a sign' - Clare girl, 10, spots surprise comet that 'shines brighter than Venus' Within the cloud of gas at its centre, they identified a supermassive black hole. Unusually, the black hole was not located at the nucleus of the vast galaxy, but rather in the middle of where they were colliding. This gave them an indication that they might be witnessing an unprecedented event. There are currently a number of theories regarding the This includes the "light seeds" theory, in which small black holes are believed to have been formed when stars' cores collapsed and exploded. These smaller black holes are believed to have then merged into the supermassive versions. However, Instead, the "heavy seeds" theory has been favoured by some astronomers. This argues that larger black holes can form when large clouds of gas collapse, although typically this is known to form stars. The Infinity galaxy could support the "heavy seeds" theory by showing how, in extreme conditions, a gas collapse could create a black hole. The team is pursuing ongoing research to confirm the findings.
