I highly disagree, being a Cancerian myself.
The Truth About Venus and Why it Can't be exalted in Cancer
My retake on the Cancer vs Pisces : Who should Venus really be exalted in? post.
I've read almost all the responses under this post talking about how Venus makes more sense exalted in Pisces, and although I still stand by some of my previous claims, I do have to say I may of had a change of heart.
Yall brought up some really good points, it made a lot sense and fit the narrative I didn't see before, which is what Venus actually represents in a person's chart.
A lot of you guys worded it a lot better than I could, but to basically give a summary of what everyone said that I agree with is that while Venus does represent relationships of any kind, money, art, indulgence, ect, Venus is about what we want, not what we need. It's about things that make us happy in the moment and we crave more and more of it because we can never get enough of it and it's not truly fulfilling, it's just things that give us cheap thrills.
In this light, I can see how Venus is a lower octave of Neptune because both are related to addiction, art, indulgence and idolization. Pisces is ruled by Neptune the planet of addictions, what our generation dreams and fantasizes about, what kind of art and symbolism our generation enjoys, and what we're delusional about. It's about what makes our generation happy, but not fulfilled. Venus relates to a singular person at a time in this regard, where as Neptune has to do more with a generation, but both are essentially about the same things.
Venus is about what makes us artificially happy in the sense that Venus is like candy and sweets; Yeah it taste good and we want more, but it's not bringing us much nutritional value or anything, and in big amounts it's harmful to us. Where as the Moon is like a full course dinner, yeah we like it, maybe not to the degree of the candy, but it fills us up, satiates our hunger, and keeps us more fulfilled than the candy.
Cancer, as a sign, strives for that longevity of nourishment and emotional happiness, it will go through unpleasant times, trials and errors until they found the one. They do not love freely and only invest their time and emotions into something they know will pay off for them in the long run. If you just so happened to be the one, they will love you what seems like endlessly and show a devotion like no other, however it is likely if you did not match up to their ideals or check off the boxes for them, they would not love you the way they do, which like someone said in the comments, it's conditioned love, it's love at a cost.
Venus loves freely without attachment to anything, taking and loving freely as it pleases and doesn't want to worry about the longterm consequences, it's all about satiating that urge in the moment. Something Cancer is not about, they are worriers of the future and things will impact them later.
I never really looked at Venus in this light before but it does make sense, and I'm surprised I didn't see it sooner. Either way, these are the main reasons to me now why it isn't exalted in Cancer, and why Venus is not all it seems.
However these are just my thoughts, what do yall think Venus should be exalted in? Is there anything else you think Venus is about? What does Venus and the Moon mean to you? Let me know your thoughtsđ

Sun in the other's 8th house
8th house feels vulnerable around Sun. They could feel like Sun sees right through them. Sun is very interested in secrets, fears, desires and dreams of 8th house. You could both overshare when around each other. This connection is passionate, intense, but at the same time a bit awkward. You have a lot of first times together. You might try certain foreign foods for the first time together, first serious relationship or any big life change, like marriage. You might want to do a big transformation with this person. You are prepared to go to extreme measures for this person. You might even change city, job, country for them. There will be sacrifices in this connection. There can be jealousy from others or between you two at times. You might feel a lot of sexual desire for this person. You will reach real intimacy in this connection, but it needs to be balanced. 8th house can be a bit doubtful of this Sun person at first. Or gets easily triggered. You might be reminded of the things from the past, from the childhood, from your relationship with parents. You tell this person a lot of stuff about your life that you wouldnât tell others. You felt very comfortable, secure and comfortable, like you already know each other. This connection will be constantly changing and transforming. You will constantly revaluate things. You will want to know everything about each other. You might feel naked in front of each other, but not literally or maybe even that. You can behave with this person how you normally wouldnât with other people. You feel drawn to each other. You just love being in each otherâs energy and just talking to each other. You really stand out from the crowd to them. Even if they want to go away, they will be constantly pulled back. 8th house really means you respect individual boundaries and give space to the other to have their own life apart from relationship. So when you are too close, you have tension. But if you just allow each other more space, the person may come back on their own quickly. You can be equally obsessed with each other. You find each other irresistible. Also I noticed 8th house synastry points to wanting things fast and almost rushing it. However, I think these connections have the potential to last for 10 years, if you just donât rush the other to please your own selfish desires first. Because usually 8th house makes you rather selfish. You only want them doing that for you for example. You are real soulmates. You can sometimes feel like a therapist for the other person. You might test each other, just so you can see that you can trust each other. There is also a spiritual lesson in this connection.
Moon in the other's 8th house
You might have sexual awakening with this person. Before one of you or both might have considered yourself aromantic or even asexual, but with this person you will feel awakened. You will feel passion, lust and desire. You will just want them. You might be quick to merge your finance, living situation or even become physical. With this overlay, I suggest getting physical as late as possible, try to prolong it and donât give into desire too soon. Because as soon as you merge with this person, obsession, jealous and being territorial might begin. You will experience power struggles, but also understanding on an emotional, physical and mental level like never before. You might have sex dreams about this person, a lot of sexual fantasies (and vice versa of course). Itâs an intense, strong bond, but a lot of times unbreakable. You could become too easily dependent on each other and learn to nurture your own individuality and have your own individual lives as well. You will mirror each other a lot. You will challenge each other and learn your mistakes, shortcomings. You might be a bit unwilling to change. One might change a lot (8th house), but you will feel like he is always the same. But this will not be true, Moon person will go through psychological, inner changes, while you might change in your actions, outlook on life. You will know each otherâs desires, secrets and fears with time. But at first there might be a lot of frustrations, miscommunication and misunderstandings. You might be very vulnerable around each other. You could feel like the other person see right through you. You could feel like you are naked in front of each other.

I know fake claimers aren't good for anyone but here's to the large systems that people claim are faking.
Here's to those with over 100 alters, and those with thousands.
Those with a detailed headspace and those without knowledge of theirs.
Here's to those systems with extreme trauma, and those who can't remember theirs.
Those whose alters don't believe they have trauma.
Those with subpar inner communication, and those with excellent communication.
Those that are polyfragmented, those that have just split a lot.
Shout out to those that don't know the full extent of their system.
Those with inner system relationships.
I know people like to say that large systems are fake, but just remember that they are wrong. Just because they can't imagine the extent of our experiences doesn't mean that we aren't real.
You are real. Your experiences are real.
Don't let people who don't understand your life dictate it.

Because Iâm a Taurus Sun, so I should know best, right?
âď¸ In their mind appreciation of people, places and things is all the same! The same way they appreciate a walk in the nature, their favourite chocolate bar or sleeping in on Sundays, they appreciate their significant other or their mum.
âď¸ Taurus is ruled by Venus, the sign of appreciation, what you value and how you relate to others.
âď¸ The reason Cancer is referred to as âthe ultimate soulmateâ to Taurus is because Cancer represents the mother and Taurus the daughter in astrology. Cancer wants to spend time with Taurus and appreciate them. Taurus likes emotional safety and comfortabily, the mother (Cancer) provides for her daughter (Taurus). And Taurus appreciates spending time with people, who âprovideâ for them. Even if this comes in ways of comfortability, safety and security with the person.
âď¸ Mars is âawayâ in Taurus. Thatâs why they procrastinate on things or are viewed as âlazyâ sometimes. They have troubles properly channeling their energy into an action. But since they are not used to Mars energy, when they DO take action, they perserve. While an Aries would take their action oriented approach for granted, because they are already used to Mars energy.
âď¸ Moon is exalted in Taurus. Moon represents what we are comfortable with and what we indulge in (and also where we overexhaust ourselves). So Taurus here, can overindulge in material possessions, work, relaxation, nature etc. This can happen with people, places and things. This is how Taurus can get used by others. Itâs when they have to snap back and stop appreciating people, places and things as much. Because over relating exhausts them. So Taurus can be similar to Cancer in this regard.
âď¸ Also Pluto is âawayâ in Taurus. This is why they have difficulties with transformation. And experience control issues or power struggles. But through these, Taurus discovers their true desires and wants.
âď¸ This is also why they see changes and transformation people around them go through as âchaoticâ, ânot stableâ or like they donât have their things together. The person may come across as âunstableâ to Taurus. Or like the person lost control over their life. And this doesnât make sense to Taurus. Itâs because they donât understand this energy well due to Pluto being âawayâ in this sign.
âď¸ The âfavouriteâ words of Taurus could be: safety, stabilty, solid (a lot of S words), solidarity, appreciation, steady fast, perservance, stamina, durability, longevity.
âď¸ Because Taurus rules 5 senses. They can really hear you and make practical sense of it. They can forget all the other noise you said to them. They can âsmellâ when something is wrong as well.
âď¸ They really like to dance, because it just something that makes them happy. But sometimes they can be very shy about it or fear they would look stupid.
âď¸ Since Taurus is a practical thinker it can appear they are quiet and reserved. But the real reason is because they are still trying to make sense of what youâre saying to them or doing in a practical sense. Thatâs why they might appear doubtful. This creates not being expressive. Because they are still trying to prepare how they will communicate their thoughts and how they will make sense of their thinking pattern. This is the reason why they are still quiet.
âď¸ They make âa formâ or like âa productâ out of their images, thoughts and feelings. And they mould them into something, make them presentable before âpresentingâ them in a conversation.
âď¸ They are not like Air or Water signs that just take emotions and thoughts and present it to you âwithout a shapeâ, just spontaneously. Taurus always goes inwards, into themselves first, before presenting anything to outer reality, public.
âď¸ When they go inwards, into themselves, they are trying to make sense out of their thoughts and feelings. So that they will be in a âpresentableâ form when communicated to others.
âď¸ Thatâs why Taurus (and especially Taurus Mercury) always refers back to a conversation, fact, thought or feeling. Because they are very much âretrospectiveâ in this sense.
âď¸ So Taurus knows if you did, feel, think or said something twice, you will do it again.
âď¸ They are very calculated and deliberated with their words, so they donât like to repeat themselves.
âď¸ Taurus actually doesnât want to be seen as âit is what it isâ. They are practically, action oriented. So they donât want just to have these thoughts and emotions (like Air or Water would). They have to take these thoughts and emotions from their head and transform them into money, an action, creating a product or something new. Because they are left brained, they donât want to be seen as emotional or vulnerable.
I really hope this makes any sense. đ
