February Venus Scope
The Art of Dissolving Boundaries
Imagine standing at the ocean's edge at twilight, where sky and water blend into one another, boundaries dissolve, and you feel part of something vast and beautiful. This is the energy available when Venus enters the water sign of Pisces on February 10th and throughout her 23-day dance in the sign of the cosmic fishes. Joy will come not from doing, but from feeling, dreaming, and connecting to the deeper currents that run through all of us.
Venus in Pisces glides through a mystical realm, where our intuition speaks louder than logic, and emotions run deep and intense. You may be drawn to water environments, such as baths, oceans, or rainforests, or you may find yourself drenched in tears as a release mechanism. For many, their inner poet awakens, and non-verbal expressions of art, music, dance, and even silence, become powerful medicine.
This is a period when we let our intuition be our compass and surrender to rest and rejuvenation. Pleasure now comes from surrounding yourself with oceanic colors or sky tones, and from giving yourself permission to dream—both literally (valuing sleep and dreams) and figuratively—and from opening your heart center to the creative expression that flows without force. This type of rest is aligned with soulful rebirth, not laziness, and allows our brilliance and buoyancy to emerge from stillness rather than striving.
It is an immersion in gentle reflection.
When Venus emerges into the Piscean ocean, she encourages us to connect beyond words, allowing our hearts to guide us into the depths of our imagination, our spiritual beliefs, and the collective consciousness, where our senses merge with those of other like-minded souls.
The goddess of love traverses nonlinear Pisces to bond, where conversations transcend small talk, empathy deepens, and a desire to meld with untethered souls arises. These few weeks open a portal within our annual zodiacal journey, where all are invited to experience transcendence and, like the enamored deity herself, we are momentarily free from the constraints of the material world.
During this time, it’s also wise to nurture yourself with compassion and keep in mind that your emotions are not character flaws; rather, they are natural extensions of beautiful sensitivity that just need gentle boundaries so you don't get lost in the world of what could be instead of what is.

Affirmation: "I trust the wisdom of my depths. I am both the wave and the ocean."
Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions yet connected by a cord. This reflects the sign's dual nature, which transcends both the material and spiritual worlds, allowing a deep connection to the unconscious. Pisces is a Water Sign ruled by both Jupiter (Traditional) and Neptune (Modern). Its modality is Mutable, and, like fish, it is adaptable and can swim in many directions.
