Fantasy or reality? Swoon-worthy or straight-up cringe? Honestly…does it matter? From April 12 to 30, the second Venus in Pisces transit of 2025 invites you to slip into something more dreamlike.
As Venus retrograde ends and the love planet resumes forward motion in romantic Pisces, delayed spring fever comes rushing back—with feeling.
And here’s the cosmic cherry on top: Pisces is Venus’s exalted position in the zodiac. Translation? The love planet operates at peak power here, turning the mundane into the magical and dialing up the romance to ethereal levels.
How poetic, too: part of the retrograde journey unfolded in Pisces (March 27–April 12), and now, this second Venus in Pisces cycle of the year picks up the thread (the first was January 2 to February 4).
From strict to soulful
Swap the punishments for pleasure. Turn routines into rituals. Rather than autopiloting from coffeepot to inbox, start your mornings with something soul-expanding: journaling, meditation or a playlist that makes you feel something.
Trade shoulder rubs with your partner. Host a dance party in your living room. Set up a DIY smoothie bar that feels more spa than rushed breakfast. Venus in Pisces reminds us that beauty and connection live in the details—if you’re paying attention.
But keep one pinky toe in reality
With Venus in this boundary-blurring water sign, the world gets hazier—more romantic, more creative, but also more prone to projection. Business dealings can get dicey. That “soulmate collaborator” might just be a charismatic flake in disguise. Before you sign anything, do your homework.
This is an open window for creativity, imagination and intuitive hits. But emotional entanglements? They can go from zero to “more lost than the Yellowjackets” fast. Prepare for swept-away moments, yes—but keep those boundaries intact so you don’t get pulled under by someone else’s undertow.

The Venus in Pisces transit brings emotional depth—and the occasional trigger
Under the watery, intuitive Venus in Pisces transit, love isn’t just about sparks and seduction—it’s about soul-level resonance. Pisces rules the deep subconscious, and as Venus swims through this emotional realm, old wounds, attachment patterns and ancestral echoes may rise to the surface. But before you flip out: this isn’t sabotage—it could be a relationship litmus test in disguise.
At some point, even the most idyllic romance will bump into your scars. The question isn’t whether your partner will see them but rather how they respond when they do. With Venus in compassionate Pisces, this is a beautiful time for “trauma-informed dating.” Approach love with gentleness, empathy and the emotional maturity to hold space for each other’s healing.
That said, let’s not confuse depth with drama. Boundaries tend to blur during this transit, and with all the talk of healing, it’s easy to slip into trauma-bonding territory. If someone’s love-bombing you on Monday and ghosting by Thursday, that’s not soul connection, that’s chaos. (Think: the darker side of Euphoria, not a Nicholas Sparks novel.)
For singles: Don’t skip the vibe check—or the actual background check. With Venus in Pisces, romantic illusions run high and that charming stranger might be more fantasy than fact. Take your time. Make sure their emotional availability matches their seductive eye contact.
For couples: This is a powerful time to work through lingering emotional blocks. If unspoken resentments or unresolved wounds are dimming the connection, now’s the time to face them with compassion.
Therapy—whether solo or together—can be especially productive while Venus travels through this tender, truth-telling sign. Emotional armor softens, making it easier to drop defenses and reconnect with heart.
