What Venus Direct Means for Your Zodiac Sign – ryan

Hold on to your heartstrings!

On April 12, Venus will station direct, which can bring some uncomfortable truths to light. As the planet of love, beauty, relationships and finances, Venus has a powerful influence on both our personal and professional lives.

While Venus was retrograde — between March 1 and April 12, 2025 — it’s as if the cosmos hit the reset button on Venusian themes, bringing up old issues, unresolved emotions and reflections on what we truly value and desire.

Over the past few weeks, Venus retrograde has had us looking inward, reconnecting with our dreams, while navigating the waters of our subconscious mind. Now, as Venus begins to move forward, it’s like a sudden shift in the tides, offering clarity on the things we’ve been avoiding.

This is especially true when considering the essence of Venus in Pisces, as it epitomizes a sense of idealism. Dreamy and boundless, this Water sign is deeply connected to its emotions, intuition and spirituality, often blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.

When Venus transits this Mutable sign, we’re more likely to fall for things that seem magical and idealistic, but we’re also called to confront illusions in love, money and relationships. This is a time of introspection, where we may need to face the gap between our fantasies and reality, whether romantically, financially or creatively.

As Venus stations direct, the fog begins to lift — expect revelations around love and personal values. Where Venus retrograde is known to bring the past back around (i.e., exes or unresolved issues), Venus direct pushes us to act on the insights we’ve gained. It reminds us of what we truly want, whether in terms of a relationship or how we perceive and value ourselves.

For some, this could feel like a breath of fresh air — giving us the courage to let go of what’s no longer serving us. For others, it could be a tough but necessary wake-up call. In any event, Venus direct in Pisces promises a deep, transformative shift in how we love and value ourselves and others.

Aries (March 20-April 19)

Think of this as a spiritual cleanse, offering emotional clarity for a fresh start, Aries. Venus direct in Pisces has you confronting hidden emotions and deep-rooted fears. It’s like an emotional detox — you might have dreams or visions that reveal things you’ve been avoiding. You could also reconnect with someone from the past, whether it’s an old friend or a long-lost part of yourself.

Taurus (April 19-May 20)

It’s all about finding those who align with your values and passions, Taurus. With your planetary ruler, Venus, stationing direct, there is emphasis on your 11th house of associations, friendships and social circles. This could be the perfect time to rekindle a relationship with someone you’ve lost touch with or evaluate your current friendship groups. Maybe you’re feeling drawn to a group project or charity work that speaks to your heart.

Gemini (May 20-June 20)

It’s time to level up in your professional life, Gemini. As Venus stations direct in Pisces and in your career zone, you’re called to evaluate your professional ambitions and sense of authority.

You could even realize that you’ve been undervalued in your job, and now you’ll step up to claim the respect you deserve.

Cancer (June 20-July 22)

Trust your inner compass, Cancer. Venus is stationing direct in Pisces, and your ninth house of travel, philosophy and higher education, sparking your wanderlust and desire to venture into the unknown.  Are you feeling the call to go somewhere new, dive into a study that’s always fascinated you or explore a different culture? This is an excellent time to pursue a meaningful journey, whether it’s a literal adventure or one that expands your mind and heart.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 22)

Single or taken, it’s time to get clear on what you value in a serious relationship, Virgo.

Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 21)

Open your heart, and tell them how you really feel, Scorpio.

This is also a great time to express your heart’s desires and possibly rekindle a romantic flame

Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

Home is where your heart wants to be, Sagittarius. This is especially true with Venus going direct in Pisces, highlighting your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations.

Either way, it’s important to reconsider your approach to love through words — writing, texting or speaking. Don’t hold back from speaking your truth.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 18)

Treat yourself — you deserve it, Aquarius.
