“I need to be loved”
Cancer has the Sun as purpose (the Transparent Domicile of Sun is Cancer), so Cancer looks for someone who gives him attention, and Cancer’s final goal is just love, to be loved.
Venus in exaltation is in excess, so the person wants a lot of bonds, needs a lot of emotions. Venus in Cancer desires to bond, and it’s the feeling that moves Venus in this case, because in Cancer it’s the Moon that commands. Furthermore this feeling it’s continuous (not a short term one), because the Moon is the memory, and it repeats the feeling on and on, making it last.
It’s a compulsive kind of pleasure: you’re really in love and you can’t do without it, but with Venus in Cancer there is no dependence or perdition as in Pisces, since in Cancer there is the Sun in transparent domicile (identity, counsciousness of the self).
Venus in Cancer’s loving is subject to the Sun’s reasons, that’s why people with this Venus can be very touchy.
“If you haven’t looked at me I’m offended”
“Why haven’t you considered me?”
“Why didn’t he call me back?”
“Now I will lock myself in my room for all the day, because I’m taking it really personally”
“I love you so much and don’t you love me back? Then I have to suffer! This is my cruel destiny!”
