On January 26, Venus enters the sign of Pisces.
This transit can stir up yearnings and longings in our love life, sometimes things which are not attainable or realistic.
Be careful what (or who) you wish for. Be mindful of not wearing rose-coloured glasses, seeing things as you wish they were (vs how they really are), and of sweeping red flags aside in pursuit of something that might not be right for you.
Be moved in love, but not manipulated. Be open to romance, but not in hot pursuit of unsuitable suitors. Be protective of yourself and your very precious heart.
Let the tarot guide you as to what might unfold in your love life this Venus in Pisces season. Here’s your star sign’s forecast.
Aries
March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for Venus in Pisces: The Devil
Meaning: Don’t sabotage yourself with self-destructive or wilful behaviour that you know will cause issues.
I’m talking flirting with unavailable people, saying things you ought not to, putting up with poor treatment yet again, triggering the same old arguments, believing someone is going to change who simply is not.
The Venus in Pisces season can activate a wake up call about how you can change the rules and play a better love game that you can win.

Taurus

Tarot card for Taurus for Venus in Pisces: Eight of Cups
Meaning: The Eight of Cups is a clear signal to release an ongoing disappointing love affair, flirtation or even relationship. It isn’t what you want it to be, nor is it going to change into that.
Let it go. Why carry on giving more to someone who has not yet appreciated all you have given thus far?
Better opportunities and other fish lie ahead, don’t miss out because you’re holding on to this dead weight.

Gemini

Tarot card for Gemini for Venus in Pisces: Queen of Cups
Meaning: Love yourself. How you treat yourself teaches others how to treat you. When you set the bar high, people suddenly want to shape up.
The Queen of Cups is a self love and self care card. Don’t put up with rubbish – withdraw. Make time for yourself. Indulge, pamper, challenge, reward and learn.
Be inspired and motivated by healthy, exciting, positive and healing activities and people. Love will come when you are happy in your own skin.

Cancer

Tarot card for Cancer for Venus in Pisces: Temperance
Meaning: You have changed over the last year. Your outlook on love is not the same as it was at the start of 2022.
Temperance shows that this has been a long-term and steady evolution but, now, you can see the shift, the extent of the change in values, priorities and needs. Communicate this – to yourself (say it out loud, write it down) and others.
Don’t try and fit back into old patterns or roles or expectations. Be different. Don’t ask permission. Just do it.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Leo, you have every right to ask for what you think is fair in relationships (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Leo for Venus in Pisces: Justice
Meaning: Fairness is the key theme this Venus in Pisces season. You want things to be fair, equal, balanced and harmonious – and maybe they’re not right now.
Therefore you need to speak up, express your misgivings, ask for a change, lead by example and see what happens.
Justice shows you are in the right, you are justified to ask for this shift. If it doesn’t happen then consider whether you want to stay in this dynamic.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23

Tarot card for Virgo for Venus in Pisces: Eight of Coins
Meaning: You love fixing people.
You are a natural helper and supporter, and this can get you into tricky relationships where you end up ‘adulting’ someone who is determined to remain a child, or broken, or hapless about their own life.
The Eight of Coins shows this current dynamic could get like that, so you need to enlist their efforts and investment in the changes needed. You can’t do it alone. You can’t do it for them. Help them but don’t do it for them.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
The Death card signals transformation (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Libra for Venus in Pisces: Death
Meaning: Death is a card of growth of transformation, of shedding an old skin and growing into a new guise. It’s necessary, natural and coming whether you like it or not.
Your relationship/s need to change in order to adapt to your changing needs and circumstances. That’s okay.
Go through it together, talk about it, support each other, be mindful of the shifts and make sure they are working for both of you. This can be a journey of discovery. Take it hand in hand.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Are you thinking about past loves? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Scorpio for Venus in Pisces: Five of Coins
Meaning: A little echo of regret about an old lover, the way something unfolded, a behaviour or conversation you exhibited will arise this Venus in Pisces season.
Process the feeling, let it be released, take a life lesson, and then move on.
Don’t let old ghosts ruin what you’re doing now, or what you hope for. Don’t drag baggage into new connections. Don’t be the person who can’t forgive yourself or others, who can’t let go. Be new, be fresh, be hopeful. Don’t be sad.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21

Tarot card for Sagittarius for Venus in Pisces: Two of Wands
Meaning: This Venus in Pisces season asks you not to hedge your bets, lead people along, play both sides or be vague or ambiguous about your feelings for someone. It’s not fair on them and it will backfire on you.
If you’re not into it, then let it go. You’re never short of suitors and flirtations so someone else will swiftly be along, fear not.
If you are into it, then don’t play games and don’t hide your true feelings. Be honest.

Tarot card for Capricorn for Venus in Pisces: Four of Cups
Meaning: You might feel like you’ve lost that loving feeling somewhat.
The Four of Cups shows you feel a bit bored or stagnated, same old same old, and maybe have been taking things for granted. Stop, step back, look again. You are missing the gifts and gems right under your nose. You aren’t seeing the wonderful magic you already have going on.
Refocus on someone close to you, this could be the love of a lifetime, see them in their true nature and appreciate them.

Tarot card for Aquarius for Venus in Pisces: Six of Coins
Meaning: Good karma in love is important. How we treat others eventually finds its way back to us down the line (either in reverse treatment, or just reputation).
The Six of Coins reminds you to be as fair, honest and straightforward with someone else as you would hope they would be with you. Don’t fudge the issue, avoid the conversation, or push away their fears. Don’t project yours onto them either.
Have a good dialogue, be compassionate, be truthful. You can get to a better place, whether it’s love or friendship. Treat them as you’d wish to be treated in their shoes.
