Venus in Pisces

Venus in Pisces loves without limits, sometimes without self-protection, and always with tenderness.

How Venus in Pisces loves

You love the way water fills a container: completely and in whatever shape is offered. Venus in Pisces is the most romantic and the most porous placement, devoted, forgiving, empathetic to a fault, more interested in the soul of a person than the facts of them. You fall for potential, for sadness, for beauty, for the person no one else understood. You give without counting and often without being asked. The line between compassion and self-erasure is thin for you and you cross it easily, which is why the right partner is someone who protects you a little from your own generosity.
