4 Zodiac Signs Finding Love When Venus Enters Pisces (1/2)

Just as we’re settling into the rhythm of the new year, the planet of love makes its grand entrance in a new zodiac sign, setting the stage for a pleasantly romantic midwinter.

Venus leaves the unconventional, somewhat noncommittal sign of Aquarius and enters the more sensual, spiritually curious Pisces at 10:25 PM EST on January 2.

For those who prefer candid conversations with their partner over candlelight, this will feel like an almost instantaneous reprieve from the broad humanitarian focus that has preoccupied the collective for the past several weeks. It’s time to get cozy, pour the wine, and play one of the many card games now available to encourage bonding between couples.

Of course, not everyone is enjoying the influx of holiday engagement photoshoots and saccharine Christmas photoshoots from their coupled friends. What does this mean for those of you who are still single and impatiently waiting for your turn? Cupid is turning his arrow on the following four rising signs during this brief season of love.

Taurus.

As Venus gets settled in your eleventh house, you’ll begin to see your social network expanding, ushering in a wealth of new opportunities for romance. What’s more, Venus rules your natal first house, giving you a natural glow-up that others will recognize and respond to, and sixth house, suggesting that a charming new coworker might be the one to successfully break down your walls. If your colleagues are off-limits, keep your eyes open for anyone you encounter on a daily basis as part of your routine: the hot barista, your personal trainer, or your gym crush.

Virgo.

Venus’ transit through your seventh house has the potential to be the most romantic period of your life thus far, especially if you’ve been chronically single for a long time. Your heart will gradually open to your existing partner, or if you meet someone new, chances are high that they might actually be in it for the long haul. With Venus ruling your natal second and ninth houses, you can expect a partner who doesn’t fear parting with their money in order to make you happy—and someone who is capable of challenging you intellectually and helping you grow spiritually.

Scorpio.

Venus in your fifth house empowers you to get back on the dating scene, but don’t expect anything too serious—at least not right away. Challenge yourself to go on more casual dates. Respond to flirtatious DMs or shoot your shot with your celebrity crush. You never know where things might go this time of year. With Venus ruling your natal seventh and twelfth houses, it’s possible what begins as a short-term fling could develop into a very serious relationship in the future. On the other hand, there may always be a feeling of privacy, isolation, or secrecy involved in the pairing. You’ll likely prefer spending time alone together and it’s in your best interest not to splash your every happy memory on social media for the world to scrutinize.

Pisces.

With Venus entering your first house, you’re guaranteed to appear more attractive to just about everyone you encounter right now. You may be naturally shy about romance, but this is your chance to take advantage of your current power and engage in some low-stakes flirtatiousness. Venus rules your natal third house, suggesting you’ll find prospects right around the corner in your local community, and your eighth house, reflecting the strong level of sexual chemistry you’re likely to be dealing with. You could enter into a karmic relationship, to be fair, but you could also soul-bond deeply with the one person you’re meant to be with forever. Take a chance and step into the unknown.
