What do you guys do.
I was just looking at a Venus in Cancer (it's a day chart)
venus in the 1st decanate apparently that's face(do I have to double check that too?)

I kind of had in my feeling that cancer would be swell sign for venus. Mars is fall there.. so is mars not so bad in cancer sometimes, or is venus a bit nicer sometimes...

I was wondering what you guys do?
