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.
