From my standing point:
Honestly as a Venus in Pisces I have asked myself the same Question. Why is Venus not exalted in Cancer? If find that both Venus placements are similar from the way love. But especially with Venus in Cancer, they have the abilities to love and nuture and care for people very intensly. Loving them with all their heart, giving their realtionship all they have. I also get the point of Moon and Venus engery being very complementary. On the other side I feel like Venus in Pisces is a good but also sad placement to have, becuase of how huge and endless their unconditional love and imagination can spread not having any kind of boundraries that leads them to detaching from reality ,beign stuck in their a never ending love fantantsy, that probaly wont be fullfilled in real life because they dont take the necessary pratical steps to attract it. While Venus in Cancer love in the present moment and attentivly. But without Pisces and Neptune there wouldnt be any kind of compassion and unconditional love.
Love is not only about being with your partner, but also about understanding each other deeply, respecting, bonding and letting go. Thats something Venus in Pisces natural posses, the ability to love their partners for a lifetime ,without being present in their life. They can love everything on this planet without asking for any love or kindness in return. Putting other people before themselves. In my opinion Venus is exalted in Pisces because of how far their love towards anything in life can go without any restrictions, just pure unconditional universal that goes on for many lifetimes. Its truly a blessing and a curse to live with this placement.💕
But I still feel like maybe both should be exalted in Venus, i dont know ?
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?
