Venus in Cancer music taste:

Many Venus in Cancer natives are attracted to music that is mellow or soft, like a soothing ballad or smooth jazz.  And yet, there are some that could also be drawn to more upbeat and uplifting sounds. Which is it, you ask?  Particularly, Venus in Cancer people like music that appeals to their emotions. Cancer is ruled by the moon, the planet of emotions/moods. Depending on their moods, they could go from listening to upbeat sounds to really gloomy sounds. In this way, they are very similar to Gemini; their musical interests are changeable, varying according to their feelings at that moment.  They tend to listen to music for the purpose of emotional comfort. They are attracted to the homey things in life, and thus Venus in Cancers tend to be attracted to music that they grew up with or music that is familiar to them in some way. They enjoy music that gives them a sense of nostalgia; music that triggers positive memories. As "the crab" of Venus, they become easily attached to a song or singer. Venus in Cancers tend to be drawn into and attached to music sub-cultures such as the Hipster, Emo-Scene, and Hip Hop sub-cultures, especially sub cultures that they grew up around.  

 

Venus in Cancer Music Expression: "I Love Connecting"

Venus in Cancer natives showcase music that reflects their feelings. Because their feelings vary, so does their music style and sounds.  They tend to carry a sense of "home" with them; whether its traditional, cultural sounds from the "motherland" or music inspired from their childhood. All of their emotional experiences go into the music. And there are times when they will seek new experiences as emotional inspiration for their musical craft. Unlike other signs in the Zodiac, Venus in Cancers are not as concerned with personal fame and recognition when it comes to their music. (This of course depends on the planetary aspects, house placements, and other signs that might be attention seeking in nature influencing their natal chart).  Their moody approach to music as an industry can make it difficult if they are looking for monetary success. For these natives music is meant to reflect the inner soul and they will find more satisfaction creating music for personal happiness. Venus in Cancer natives are known to also have a loony side, and this is sometimes reflected in their musical style. Either way, they are highly creative and expressive. (This also applies if you have Moon aspecting Venus).

 

A Quote from a Venus in Cancer Performer: "I wanted to make something that reminded people of the way albums used to feel. I wanted something as good as the stuff put out by the Bomb Squad, or Dr. Dre and his production crew, or 'A Tribe Called Quest.' I miss albums like those." ~Busta Rhymes~

Musical Attraction and Expression according to Venus:

(Other factors can alter one's musical taste and expression, such as planetary aspects and house placements in your natal chart.  If you have Venus in the 4th house, you may relate to these descriptions. Another thing to consider is the ruling planet of your sign, and the sign that your ruling planet is positioned in. For example, if you have Venus in Cancer, your ruling planet is the moon. If your moon is in a sign other than Cancer, this will alter both your music taste and your musical expression).
