Vedic Astrology Horoscope – Sun In Cancer – Venus / Moon – More On Saturn

The Sun has entered Cancer in the Sidereal zodiac, bringing a strong tendency to nurture and emotionally protect our loved ones. When the Sun goes through Cancer the quality of divine motherhood is awakened in each of us — at least that is the potential. Suddenly there's a renewed sensitivity to all of us as children. There is a great possibility for all to lay down their weapons and sympathize with their enemies for the next couple of weeks.

Cancer is a sign of sensitivity, compassion, and motherhood. It is ruled by the , the of selfless , nurturing, and . This is different than the type of we have in that are transactional in . Relationship love is between two equals, two grown-ups. In relationship love, each has to hold up their part of the bargain, whatever that "bargain" is. Every relationship has different boundaries that are negotiated and, however strange those boundaries may look to outsiders, as long as the two partnered agree with the terms, and honor them – there's usually smooth sailing.

This is what makes the relationship house (seventh house) a secondary / house. We use the same negotiating at our job that we use in our relationship – after all, are . The larger issue in is our ability to compromise and satisfy our desires as well as accommodate other people. Those who are able to yield their desires with dignity do well in . But this takes an authentic desire to please others combined with an equally authentic that knows where to draw the line and can draw that line without anger or excessive ego.

However, the capacity to play fair and negotiate and uphold common boundaries, etc. will be very damaging in a parent/child relationship. Once a parent starts demanding the child treat them as an equal, at least when they're young, there can be great harm done. Of course, once the child grows up into teenage years and beyond the relationship starts to develop and mature. But still, the parent must always put the needed child ahead of their own. Fortunately, makes this easy — once the child begins to grow up and develop their own , many immature parents stop serving the child / selflessly loving the child – and start to a great deal of harm.

It's very easy to mix these two things up in our minds. When relationships become dominated by a selfless, parental type of love — is only a matter of before it starts to feel like abuse for one and co-managing for the other. There has to be first, only then can love become selfless, devoted love. Similarly, if the parent/child love is too transactional, with a parent constantly insisting upon the immature mind of the child to be accountable for their emotional mistakes, as we would expect from our partner, much trouble arises also. Without the paradigm of selfless love in the parent/child relationship, the parent will not be able to insist upon without the child feeling attacked.

This is an important issue at this with Venus about to go retrograde into the sign of Cancer. In Vedic , both the and the Sun are enemies of Venus. This enmity is expressed in different ways. The of the moon on Venus (including occupying the sign of Cancer) is to confuse the transactional nature and expectation of adult relationship boundaries with the utterly selfless, caretaking, maternal nature of the moon. The of the Sun on Venus (including occupying the sign of Leo) is to insist upon a passionate, fiery, and romantically accountable nature.

These themes will play out in the upcoming Venus retrograde cycle discussed last week in this newsletter.

The upcoming Venus retrograde cycle will mirror the recent Saturn retrograde cycle and also foreshadow next year's Mars/Ketu conjunction at 28° Cancer. There is another very important factor that must be kept in relative to this Saturn / Venus relationship.
