Your 'Survive & Thrive' kit for Venus in Taurus & Jupiter in Cancer

It's funny how the cosmos gives you a heads-up. This morning, I was on my usual frantic mission for a caffeine slam, rushing through the piazza, when I just... stopped. The smell of fresh cornetti from the bakery was too good to ignore, and instead of grabbing my espresso and running, I sat down, right there on the dusty pavement warmed up by already intense morning sun, and actually savored every single bite of that gluten & sugar bomb. And guess what. I did not look at my phone once.

The cosmic penny dropped right there: Venus is officially in her lush, earthy Taurus kingdom now, demanding we taste our lives instead of just consuming them.

Then, as if on cue, a wave of nostalgia washed over me, as I remembered my grandma’s famous honey pie, and all I wanted to do was go home and try recreate the recipe, make something with my hands and shove it down the throat of someone I love.

That came out weird, but you get it, right? It’s the next weather front rolling in, clear as day—we're all gearing up for Mercury and Jupiter to make their big, emotional splash into Cancer this Monday. The shift from the head to the heart is officially on.

The last 12 months with Jupiter in Gemini have felt like trying to solve a Rubik's cube in a wind tunnel. To top it off, Venus has been rampaging through Aries, turning our love lives and finances into an impulsive, chaotic demolition derby. It’s been a vibe, sure—if that vibe is pure, uncut chaos.

But can you feel that? The shift? The universe is finally taking its foot off the gas and handing us a goddamn weighted blanket. The cosmic soundtrack is switching from thrash metal to some low-fi, soul-soothing beats (overlayed with the sound of cat purring).

Welcome to the main event of the summer: Venus slinks into her home turf of Taurus on June 6th, and the intergalactic sugar daddy, Jupiter, softly lands in the heartfelt Cancer on June 9th.

This is your guide to getting grounded, getting cozy, and getting real.

“To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the making of bread.” - James Baldwin

Venus in Taurus: Whiplash to Weighted Blanket

(June 6 – July 4)

For real though, Venus in Aries was a hot mess. Fun, maybe. Impulsive, definitely. But sustainable? Hell no. It was all about the thrill of the chase, the swipe right, the "add to cart" without checking the bank balance. It was the astrological equivalent of a Jason Statham’s movie—all adrenaline, no plot.

Now, Venus glides into Taurus, the sign she fucking owns. Suddenly, the cosmic DJ throws on a Sade album. The pace slows. The lights dim. The assignment is no longer to conquer, but to savor.

Venus in Taurus is about pleasure, but not the cheap, fleeting kind. We’re talking about the deep, earthy, full-body sensuality that reminds you you’re an animal in a body, here to experience the glorious, tangible shit of being alive.

This is your cosmic permission slip to:

  • Indulge Your Senses: Eat the good chocolate. Buy the ridiculously soft blanket. Lie in the grass (careful though, tics and Lyme disease are still a thing). This transit is about reconnecting with the physical world through taste, touch, and smell.
  • Know Your Worth: Taurus is about value, and Venus is here to remind you to check your price tag. Are you settling for less in love? In work? In life? This is the time to raise your rates, demand reciprocity, and stop giving discounts on your soul. Your self-worth is not on clearance.
  • Build Something Real: Forget the flash-in-the-pan. Venus in Taurus wants stability. Lasting relationships, sustainable finances, and creating a life that is as solid as it is beautiful. It's about planting seeds in the garden, not just buying the bouquet.

Jupiter in Cancer: The Great Emotional Homecoming

"Home is not a place... it's a feeling." - Unknown

(June 9, 2025 – June 30, 2026)

If Jupiter in Gemini was an information overload, Jupiter in Cancer is an emotional overload—in the best way possible. For the last year, we’ve been collecting data. Now, we get to feel what it all means. Jupiter, the planet of growth, luck, and wisdom, is exalted in Cancer. This means it’s in its happy place, ready to shower us with its most potent blessings.

This transit is about turning inward to find our true source of security and growth. Remember that brutal Mars retrograde in Cancer we all endured over the winter? It churned up a lot of shit around our emotional foundations, our families, and our sense of safety. Now, Jupiter is the cosmic cleanup crew, here to heal those wounds and offer the wisdom we earned through the struggle.

Jupiter in Cancer is your invitation to:

  • Return Home: What does "home" mean to you? It’s not just a physical address. It’s the place, the people, and the state of being where you feel utterly safe to be your messy, authentic self. This year is about finding or creating that sanctuary.
  • Trust Your Gut: Cancer is the sign of the crab, all soft on the inside with a hard outer shell. It navigates the world not by sight, but by feeling. Your intuition is about to get a massive upgrade. Learn to listen to that inner voice. If it feels off, it is.
  • Nurture to Grow: How do you care for yourself? For others? This is a time to expand our capacity for empathy and compassion. Growth won’t come from pushing harder, but from softening, from tending to our own emotional gardens, and from offering a safe harbor to others.

🛠️ How to Not Fuck This Up: Your Cosmic Field Guide

Navigating this combo of earthy sensuality and watery emotion requires a new toolkit. Here's the lowdown:

🐢 Slow The Fuck Down: Seriously. Both Taurus and Cancer reward patience. The universe is not giving out prizes for being the busiest. The prize is the peace.

💰 Get Real About Your Resources: Venus in Taurus wants you to build tangible security. Jupiter in Cancer wants you to feel emotionally secure. Look at where these two connect. Are you spending money to fill an emotional void? Are you staying in a shitty job because you’re afraid to build something of your own? Get honest.

🗣️ Feel Your Feelings (For Real This Time): Jupiter in Cancer is cracking our hearts open. Don't numb out. Don't distract yourself. The only way out is through. Let the waves of emotion come; they are here to teach you something.

💎 Quality Over Quantity: In your friendships, your possessions, your food, your experiences. Venus in Taurus is the ultimate Marie Kondo—if it doesn’t bring you real, tangible joy, let it go.

✍️ Sacred Homework ✍️

Grab your journal, you magnificent weirdo. Time to do the work.

  • Venus Asks: What does "rich" feel like in your body, not just your bank account? What is one simple, earthly pleasure you can indulge in this week, without apology?
  • Jupiter Asks: Where in your life do you feel truly "at home"? What old family story or emotional pattern is ready to be healed and released?
  • The Integration: How can you use your material resources (money, home, possessions) to create a deeper sense of emotional safety and nourishment?

GET PAID, GET GROUNDED, & BUILD YOUR FUCKING SANCTUARY

Your Cosmic Keyword for the Season: FOUNDATION

Listen up, my favorite agent of chaos. Venus’s recent tear through Aries was in your 1st House of Self, making you feel impulsive, creative, and maybe a little reckless. Now, Venus slides into your 2nd House of Money, Resources, and Self-Worth from June 6th to July 4th.

The assignment shifts from "who am I?" to "what am I worth?" This is your moment to get a real, tangible return on all that energy you’ve been putting out.

Demand the raise. Solidify your income streams. Stop settling for less than you deserve.

Meanwhile, Jupiter’s year-long brain-fuck in Gemini was lighting up your 3rd House of Communication, turning your mind into a whirlwind of ideas and information. Now, Jupiter moves into your 4th House of Home, Family, and Emotional Roots for a whole year. It’s time to take all those brilliant ideas and build a safe harbor for them to grow.

This is about strengthening your foundations, healing family wounds, and creating a private sanctuary that truly recharges you. Expansion is happening at your very core.

🛠️ Actionable F*ckery:

  • Audit Your Bank Account & Your Soul: Look at where your money is going. Does it reflect what you truly value?
  • Feather Your Nest: Make one significant change to your living space to make it feel more like a sanctuary. Paint a wall, buy a plant, kick out the shitty roommate.
  • Heal Your Roots: Have one honest, vulnerable conversation with a family member to clear the air.

📚 Sacred Homework:

What does financial stability feel like in your body? What does emotional security feel like in your home? Where do these two feelings meet?

Affirmation:

My value is inherent. My home is my fortress. I am building an empire of peace from the ground up.

✨ Simple Spell:

Earth & Water Money Bowl: Place a bowl by your front door. Fill it with earth (soil or sand), a few coins, and a bay leaf with your financial goal written on it. Add a seashell to represent Jupiter in Cancer’s emotional flow. Every day, add a bit of water and stir it, saying, “As below, so above; money flows, anchored by love.”

🃏 Tarot Pull: The Foundation

  • The Investment (Venus in Taurus): What tangible skill or resource do I need to invest in to solidify my worth?
  • The Sanctuary (Jupiter in Cancer): What does my inner child need to feel safe and nurtured right now?
  • The Blueprint (The Integration): What is the first brick I can lay for my future foundation?
