Essence of Venus in Cancer

The Love That Nurtures

Love is the embrace of the moon, a gentle tide that pulls two souls together, wrapping them in warmth and belonging. It is the scent of home, the comfort of soft sheets, the feeling of safety in another’s arms. Love is protection, devotion, a deep need to care and be cared for. It lingers in memories, treasures old letters and faded photographs, weaving nostalgia into the present. It is loyal beyond measure, holding onto love as if it were the very breath in its lungs. It gives everything, asks only for security in return.
