The transit of Venus through Cancer, square your composite Midheaven in Taurus, heralds a time of profound emotional depth and potential conflict, but fear not-it's not all doom and gloom. You know how the saying goes: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" ... or at least gives you a better understanding of each other's takeaway food preferences.

During this period, you'll feel an intensified need for emotional security, like two hermit crabs scuttling around together for the perfect shell. One person's idea of coziness might seem more like a Venus Flytrap to the other. The phrase "Let's stay in and watch a movie" might sound sweet, but beware-this transit could turn a gentle rom-com evening into an unveiled power struggle over the remote-the Horror!

Given that your composite Midheaven resides in the practical and sensual sign of Taurus, there's a strong need for stability in your shared goals, just like two careful gardeners nurturing a fragile bonsai tree. However, Venus transiting Cancer throws a spanner in the works, or perhaps a watering can over the bonsai. Your shared ambition could get a little waterlogged, slowing down progress and eliciting a lesson in patience.

This transit adds a layer of emotional sensitivity to your give-and-take. Venus in Cancer delights in caring and nurturing but can become overprotective as if you two are guarding the last chocolate-covered strawberries on Earth. In contrast, your composite Midheaven in Taurus values trust and reliability, so any perceived threats might mark a tensing up around issues of control.

However, never underestimate the healing power of your astrological gardening tools. This Venus transit deserves a gracious reception-it invites both of you to tend to your emotional connection with greater care. While it's a challenging astrological transit, it also offers a golden opportunity to deepen your emotional roots and to explore compassion in action. The silver lining here? There's nothing like a good astrological shower to make a relationship blossom.
