Personal Planets include The Sun, Moon, and Rising, which I’ve already covered. This also includes Mercury, Venus and Mars. These are the planets that help shape who we are. These planets are closer to the Earth, therefore they change more often and are more unique to each person. In this post, I'm touching on the different planets in Cancer.
Cancer Mercury
Perceptive • Careful • Emotional • Thoughtful • Personal • Loving • Warm

Because they were born with the planet of logic in the sign of feeling, they process the world through a softer lens than others. Their emotions can be a part of everything that they do. They make decisions, judgements and plans based on feelings. They see the real world like everyone around them, but also take in the sensitive, instinctual vibrations that others cannot. Mood and emotion is what shapes their perception.
They have a powerful intuition. They can typically sense the feelings around them. They will clam up when they pick up on even subtly bad vibes. They aren’t easily fooled by flattery, because they can read the vibes of what is being said. They can sense when someone is socially awkward and draw them out of their shell.
They are cautious to warm up at first, they warm up quickly when they sense someone is trustworthy and caring. It’s hard for them to engage with a just facts conversation. They aren’t big on small talk, preferring intimate conversations with the ones they’re close to. With close friends, they need reassurance about what they’re sensing and benefit from having objective thinkers in their inner circle. They resonate with the deeper meaning of life. They’re often called on to make speeches at family events or write sentiments on a birthday card.
Mercury in Cancer placements take things personally. They’re sensitive to criticism about the way they present ideas. They are moody and defensive when it comes to their opinions.
They are extremely sentimental, to the point of idealizing the past. It’s hard for them to let go of things. They’re a collector of memories and slights. They interweave emotions with thoughts, so with a memory, they can have feelings that rush back. Sometimes this makes unresolved issues pile up. Forgiveness for themselves and others can help with this.
They can also be drawn to history, researching the family tree and engaging with their ancestral soul. These subjects can be fascinating and can all be healing to emotional trauma from the past.
They’re a natural comedian, finding happiness in making their loved ones smile. They have a gentle way with words and make others feel comfortable in their presence. They come to the aid of the vulnerable and can be counted on for a kind word. They tend to keep important information to themselves in order to protect the feelings of others.
They can find an outlet for emotional intelligence through the arts. They can express the depths of any experience. They like to express love, and express it often.

When in Cancer, Mars is said by classical astrologers to be in its fall. This puts planetary force out of its comfort zone. Mars’ typically aggressive energies present themselves as volatile, in the way that they go between being over and under utilized in the life of this placement. Cancer promotes soothing, nurturing and healing, whereas Mars promotes inflaming, confronting and competing. This watery influence of Cancer may squelch the abilities to be assertive and take initiative. Working with others, they tend to value productivity and big picture thinking. They will offer to mentor someone who’s more junior.
They may appear shy, but they are determined to take action. Their action comes from instinct and their instinct tends to be based on this current mood. They are not great at saying exactly how they feel. Internal conflict and overthinking make it difficult to use logic and be rational. Their energy is centered around their home environment. They may spend money making their houses exactly like they want. Energy is put toward the home environment, such as fixing up the home, to feel more secure.
They only push when they feel safe and secure. They have strength of will. They have great ideas. They want things for themselves, but are often too afraid to allow themselves to have them. They use all the things that could go wrong as a way to sabotage themselves. They may have issues with achieving security and goals because of anxiety. They must realize that not everyone is out to get them. They will benefit from relaxing more and diverting energy outward. They feel the need to be centered in their emotions in order to complete the tasks that are on their to-do list.
Those born with the fiery, fighter planet in cardinal, watery Cancer, they’re fiercely protective of the people they care about. They will go out of their way to make sure to help you. A Cancer Mars person lives so selflessly for the people in their lives that when they feel hurt by their loved ones, it can be quite dangerous. They're dedicated but they won't be anyone's fool and will make sure you know this as well.
In the interest of not hurting others, Mars in Cancer placements may suppress or deny their anger. This causes it to fester and the outcome may be unfortunate. They become defensive and overly protective. A Mars in Cancer wants to feel safe and understood with their loved ones. They must let themselves open up to their loved ones, find balance and set appropriate boundaries when dealing with anger.
Cancer Venus
Maternal • Sensitive • Loving • Intuitive • Sentimental • Protective • Dependable

If someone is born with the planet of love and beauty in Cancer, they’re likely sentimental. They might make scrapbooks or memory boxes with theater tickets, dried roses and old love notes. Old-school romantic details from love letters or candle-lit dinners are for them. Their style is classic too, think timeless sundresses and decade-old jean jackets. Cancer is the homebody of the zodiac, preferring low-key nights in to wild nights out.
Matters of the home and family are incredibly important to those with Venus in Cancer. Their house is the sanctuary and they prefer activities that pertain to cooking, gardening and decorating. They’re the ultimate domestic god or goddess. It’s essential for the home to feel safe and secure.
Love is serious business for them! They aren’t typically interested in flings or casual relationships. They want long-term partners that they can build a family with. Love without emotional involvement isn’t fulfilling for them. They seek relationships with deep, heartfelt connections. They are very cautious with matters of the heart. Emotional wounds hurt them deeply and it takes them time to get over it. That could be why they seem like they have a hard outer shell at first. They must protect their sensitivity that exists below the surface.
When they let their guard down, they are loving and sentimental partners. They’ll do anything to protect their loved ones.
This placement makes them highly intuitive. They can pick up on what others need before they even do, and figure out ways to support and care for them accordingly. Their heightened sensitivity makes them empathetic and compassionate, especially toward their closest loved ones. They must just make sure that they focus on their own needs as much as they do others!
