Whenever Venus visits Pisces, her life flourishes because she's in the sign of her exaltation, which means the Fish is so complementary to her nature that she expresses the highest virtues of the planet and the sign.
As the planetary ruler of love, Venus is all about relationships, and as the zodiac's ruler of the 12th house, Pisces presides over past lives and karmic ties. That said, it should come as no surprise that while Venus is here, she meets a soul mate.
Soul mates come into our lives in various forms and for a variety of reasons, and during this time it’s possible that some of you will meet one, while others might connect the dots and recognize lessons that past relationships taught (or tried to teach) them.
Venus is also the planetary ruler of money and tangible resources, and although one might think that while Venus is in the idealistic sign of Pisces she’s impractical with money, nothing could be farther from the truth.
True, she can fall for a sob story if it tugs on her heartstrings, but on a day-to-day basis she tends to be frugal, so she can set aside a tidy sum for splurges and not worry about breaking the bank.
Finally, as the planetary ruler of the 2nd house, Venus rules self-worth, and before she exits the sign of compassion, she makes it her business to forgive herself for past missteps and release any feelings of shame, embarrassment or guilt that damaged her self-esteem to the universe.
Because when she moves out of Pisces, she's leaving that baggage behind.
So where might you benefit from showing yourself some self-love?
