Venus in Pisces: a journey of Love, Karma, and Self-Discovery

From January 28th to May 31st, Venus will transit through the dreamy and mystical sign of Pisces, staying there for a total of 63 days.

First and foremost, Venus is exalted in Pisces. This means she feels at her highest vibration here—free to love unconditionally, to surrender, to connect with the divine. However, during this period, Venus will also go retrograde.

So, what does this mean for us?

This transit carries a strong karmic influence, particularly in the areas ruled by Venus—love, relationships, creativity, and spirituality. It may bring to the surface deep-seated patterns related to our ability to give and receive love, our sense of self-worth, and even our financial reality.

Venus is the planet of love, beauty, devotion, and abundance. She rules over our relationships, finances, pleasures, and even our lifestyle. However, when Venus moves through Pisces, she takes on the qualities of this deeply spiritual and dualistic sign.

Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the zodiac—a sign of endings, transitions, and surrender. It is the sign of ultimate love, but also of illusion and escapism. Those with strong Piscean energy can love with all their heart, yet if they feel betrayed, they may withdraw completely. They can be deeply spiritual, devoted to a higher purpose, or they can lose themselves in addictions and unhealthy attachments. This is the nature of Pisces—extreme duality.

Why is Venus exalted in Pisces?

Venus is exalted here because in Pisces, love seeks no boundaries. She wants to love without conditions, without limits. This is divine love—the kind that transcends the material world.

But here’s where many misunderstand this placement. While Venus in Pisces represents the highest form of love, it can also bring significant challenges in relationships and finances. Why? Because Venus in Pisces often fails to see reality clearly. She loves so deeply that she may overlook toxic dynamics, hoping that love alone will heal everything. This is why people with this placement may struggle with financial instability or find themselves in difficult, codependent relationships. They give endlessly, sometimes without realizing that they are losing themselves in the process.

The true lesson of Venus in Pisces is learning to balance devotion with self-love—to recognize when love is uplifting and when it is simply an illusion.

The Retrograde Period: March 1st – April 12th

When Venus goes retrograde, she asks us to pause, reflect, and reevaluate our relationships and past experiences in love.

You may find yourself questioning: is this person truly right for me? Have I been treated with the love and respect that I deserve? Have I taken someone for granted, failing to nurture the connection?

This is not a time for rushed decisions but rather for deep soul-searching. Retrogrades invite us to go inward — to relive past experiences, extract the wisdom from them, and recognize the lessons they hold.

A message for you ✨

I know that love can be one of the hardest lessons in life. We give with the hope that love will return in the same way. But not every relationship is meant to last forever. Some people come into our lives to teach us something about ourselves—about what we need, what we deserve, and where we must grow.

Sometimes, we hold onto relationships because we fear the emptiness that may come when they are gone. But the truth is, no one else can fill the space within you. Only you can. And when you choose yourself—when you honor your worth—the universe will reward you with new opportunities, new love, and a deeper connection to your true path.

Believe me.

Wishing you all the love and light on this journey.
