Pisces Vs Cancer : Who Should Venus Really Be Exalted In?

Pisces vs Cancer : Who should Venus really be exalted in?

Okay, as we all know, the signs domicile in Venus are detriment in Mars. Venus rules over Taurus and Libra, but those signs are in detriment in Mars. It's vise versa with Aries and Scorpio for Venus. It's a full circle relationship between Venus and Mars, but is it really?

Why is Venus exalted in Pisces? Wouldn't that make it fall in Mars because it's exalted in Venus? If Capricorn is exalted in Mars, wouldn't that make it in fall in Venus, and Venus exalted in Cancer?

I think it makes sense that Mars is exalted in hard working, determined Capricorn; And I think it would make sense for Venus to be exalted in Cancer.

Firstly, because Venus is all about relationships, and what people don't usually tell you is it means ALL relationships, NOT just spouse/partner relations. It can be spouse, friends, family, ANYONE, relationships of any kind. Our Venus sign is all about how we interact with others and what we look for when we interact with others.

Secondly, Cancer is known for being very home and family oriented, they nurture and pamper others they love. This usually extends to anyone close to them and many people in their lives. Cancer is a sign ruled by the Moon. Venus and the Moon are both heavily related to themes of feminity, just in different ways. The Moon is the feminity in one's inner self and emotions, while Venus relates to feminity on an outer level and how we project it outward to others.

While some say Neptune is a higher octave of Venus, Neptune has more to do with our generations dreams, idealism and idolism, our delusions and things kept secret from us by our sub conscience.

Plus, Pisces isn't a sign known for being relationship/people oriented. When you think of Cancer, typically, you think of how they care and nurture others. For Pisces, you usually think about how spiritual they are and thier connection to the 6th sense. They also rules the 12th house, the house of dreams, the unconcious, things hidden from us by ourselves, karma, but most importantly for this case, The 12th house rules over isolation. Which is the farthest thing away from what Venus is about, because like I said, Venus is about how we interact with others and our relationships with others. So why would a sign that's notorious for being a bit detached and prefers their own company, be exalted in Venus?

Thirdly, If we look at Mercury, it is ruled by Virgo and Gemini. However, most people also say Mercury is exalted in Virgo, the sign it also rules. So why isn't Jupiter ruled and exalted in Pisces like it's sister sign is to Mercury? Wouldn't it make sense to have the Virgo and Pisces both be exalted in the planets they also rule over if one does this??

Basically having Venus exalted in Cancer and Jupiter exalted in Pisces would be more reasonable and make more sense in the grand scheme of things. However these are just my opinions and thoughts on this. Who do you think Venus should be exalted in?

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 thoughts💕

My tropical placements are -

Sun in Cancer

Moon in Leo

Sagittarius Rising

My sidereal placements are -

Sun in Gemini

Moon in Leo

Scorpio Rising

I relate more to my tropical placements because I resonate more with Jupiter's energy (Sagittarius and Cancer). I still do relate and resonate a lot with Pluto but I don't feel the full Scorpio/Pluto-Ascendant mix as much, I relate to Pluto 1st house with Jupitarian energy more than both Scorpio asc AND Pluto 1st house, I'm not FULL edge lord okay💀.

I feel more in tuned with my tropical fire signs because I'm a very passionate and expressive person around people I'm comfortable with! Plus I love Sags clown jokester energy🤡🤡. But also Pluto 1st cuz I'm also very secretive.

I have Leo Moon in both, which isn't suprising because I can be very dramatic emotionally and creative. I absolutely LOVE the spotlight when I'm ready for it 🦁 💕

If you love astrology, What's the most prominent sign in your chart?

I'm curious as to what a lot of yalls placements are and how I can better cater to you! For this poll, I'm going to list all of the signs, some of them will be paired if they co rule a planet.

You'll click the sign that you either have a stellium in or if you don't have one, use your Sun or Moon sign, preferably your Sun sign. I'm curious to see what the most common sign(s) are on here for people into astrology, and please be honest!💕
