If there will ever be a time to be lucky in love, it is from January 3 till Fabruary 4 and that is because Venus, the Planet of Love and Affection, is entering its all-time favourite sign, Pisces. This shift from the intellectual detachment of Aquarius to the immersive emotional waters of Pisces heralds a period rich in romance, gentleness, compassion, and sympathy. With Venus in Pisces there will be much more depth of emotion. Venus is the planet of love, grace and harmony, so although it is the Moon that rules our emotional state, Venus in this most watery of the signs cannot help but move us to great highs and lows too, filling our hearts with a yearning for meaning and poetic expression.
Relationships will be more emphasised and feelings of Love can deepen and become strong but also selfless. This will have us all aching with desire, wanting our hearts filled with meaning and poetry. Now is the time to embrace romance, love, fantasy, creativity, and dreams. During this time giving to others comes much easier and our desire to focus on meaningful bonds will be powerful. This transit is also about forgiveness and understanding.
You'll probably fall in love, over and over again, with everything beautiful you come in contact with. Venus in Pisces feels like the energy of falling in love on vacation — everything can feel extra charmed and magical, but we also have to ask ourselves: Am I really in love with this person or is it just the sunshine, palm trees, and frozen rosé talking?
In this sign, Venus is exalted, meaning that both the planet and the sign work well together and bring out the best qualities of each. In this case, it’s all about love, passion and the ability to see our dreams come to a reality. Regardless of our specific relationship status, there is always a need to balance our own wants and needs not only with our partner but also with the two of us as a couple or team. For those who have already been in a significant relationship, we could see ourselves becoming more passionate and tender with our partners. In Pisces, we will naturally be willing to work together better with another — not that we will sacrifice our own wants and needs, but in a relationship we have to be willing to compromise at times, and in Pisces this will be easier.
But, be a little wary. We must also remember that since Pisces is ruled by Neptune, Venus in Pisces can also mean putting on rose-coloured glasses and failing to judge a situation for what it really is. Love can be grand, but we must also pay attention to warning signs that tell us if the person we are interested in is not all in the relationship. Although we love love, there's always room to be sensible and cautious. Go with what your heart is telling you this month, but don't ignore your mind.
And although Venus is the Planet of Love, it's not just about romance. Some of us don’t have time for that. Exalted Venus wants to bring love, yes, and romance, true, but its over-riding influence is to establish harmony. All relationships get a glow up during this transit as we get a chance to take one step closer to unity. Pisces is known for dissolving walls and any distance we may have felt with people. Call a friend you haven't seen in a while to go for a walk, get a drink, or just have a catch-up over Facebook. This transit is the perfect push to getting back in the swing of things with the people you care for the most.
While this is an excellent overall transit for Venus, January 31st is an extra starry-eyed day. Venus conjunct dream-weaver Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. If Venus heightens desire, Neptune heightens fantasy. These two planets together betoken Cinderella atmospherics, where you might charm or be charmed by someone who sweeps you off your feet but is gone by midnight. This is to say, Neptune conjunct Venus is for brief but powerful swoons. Welcome this influence but prepare for the prospect of bittersweet brevity.
Overall, Venus in Pisces is going to give us a wonderfully positive month.
ARIES ♈
From January 3rd Venus affects your unconscious and spirituality, dear Aries. This is the place of secrets and inward expression. This doesn’t necessarily mean your love life will be stagnant, but you will probably be desiring intimacy on a deeper soul level. For a fire sign like you, this watery energy can at times feel uncomfortable, as you want to be outwardly expressive. This also could implicate a secret love affair, crush, romantic frustration or even ending. But this quieter time is preparing you for when Venus enters your sign next, which will give you a huge boost of confidence and have you feeling in your element.

TAURUS ♉
With your planetary ruler Venus moving into your Eleventh house of friendships and future wishes, this energy should have you feeling a lot more connected to your social networks, dear Taurus. This is a time to plan a group trip or night out with the people you love. This would be a great time to join a group or club with your partner that helps you two further bond through a shared interest. It’s also through group activities that you may meet someone new if you’re single, just be wary before jumping in too deep, as this person could end up being more of a friend than a romantic partner in the long term.

GEMINI ♊
This is not a time to be playing around backstage — it’s time for the spotlight, dear Gemini, as transiting Venus is moving through your solar house of career and public reputation for the next four weeks. This is a time to step out as a leader and showcase your talents, which, as a result, could mean that you are needing to put romantic endeavours on the back burner for a short while. Just be sure not to completely neglect the one you love. If you are single, you are coming across well right now to others, and it’s easy for you to crank up the charm and make things happen in social circles, which could lead to meeting someone new. Your public persona will take on a romantic hue that could potentially draw someone toward you from a social circle. For your creative and innovative ideas, you will gain the appreciation and acknowledgement of your peers or your superiors.

You are thinking about your relationship in terms of growth and, if you’ve been feeling stagnant or caught up in the daily rhythms of life, this is the time to break out of the monotony and do something adventurous. On the other side of this, be careful that you are not getting caught up in running toward greener pastures in your search for deeper meaning in your relationship. As the old adage goes, “the grass is always greener on the other side.” For single Cancerians, this is a perfect time to attract a partner who inspires you to break out of your shell.
