How Venus in Pisces loves

If you have Venus in Pisces, you love completely. You fall deeply, you feel everything, and you’re willing to give a great deal for the people you love. Romance for you is poetry, music, the feeling of two souls recognising each other.

You’re compassionate and forgiving, and you see the best in people, sometimes when they haven’t earned it yet. You understand others intuitively and you know how to make people feel loved.

Venus in Pisces falls for who someone could be, and sometimes waits a long time for them to arrive.

The hard part is knowing where you end and they begin. You can give too much, lose yourself in a relationship, or stay with someone because you believe in their potential. Learning to love yourself as generously as you love others is your life’s romantic work.

What attracts Venus in Pisces

You’re drawn to sensitivity, creativity and depth: artists, musicians, dreamers, people with soulful eyes and a story. Kindness and gentleness attract you deeply.

You like romance and mystery, someone who feels like a character from a film. You can be attracted to people who need rescuing, which is worth noticing.

What turns you off: harshness, cynicism, coldness, crudeness, and people who make fun of dreams or feelings.

What it needs to feel loved

  • Tenderness and romance
  • Emotional and spiritual connection
  • Understanding without having to explain
  • Gentleness in conflict
  • Creative and dreamy time together
  • A partner who protects their softness

Desire and intimacy

For Venus in Pisces, intimacy is emotional and almost spiritual. You want to merge with your partner, and you’re deeply attuned to their feelings and pleasure. Setting, music and atmosphere help you let go.

You can lose yourself in pleasing your partner. Remember that your pleasure matters too, and say what you want.

In conflict

You tend to avoid conflict. You may go quiet, cry, escape into daydreams or say what you think your partner wants to hear. You find it hard to say no or ask for what you need.

You can play the martyr, sacrificing yourself and then feeling resentful. You can also be vague, avoid hard truths or stay in situations that aren’t good for you.

What helps: saying what you need clearly, even if it feels harsh. Deciding what you will and won’t accept, and sticking to it. Seeing your partner as they are, not as you hope. Partners who do well with you are gentle, honest and grounded, and they protect your softness without taking advantage of it.
