Darkest Before Dawn | Venus Retrogrades in Pisces

March 27, 2025

Venus retrogrades into Pisces sending a surge of emotional energy into all matters mental and moody related to major disclosures, realizations, and resurfacing memories. Social inhibition, isolation, romantic frustration, or the feeling of being caught in a love trap or awkward situation are reflective of conditions where you’re highly susceptible to the influence of others or expect others to make decisions for you.

Failure to accurately judge your connections can make you a victim of unfortunate circumstances that may change the course of your life. On the other hand, suffering may be due to the habit of creating your own problems as well as difficulties for those around you. At worst, situations incite the danger of imprisonment, but for some, the restraint is poverty with no effort applied toward improvement.

In other cases, dilemmas tie to sudden on-again, off-again attractions in new or uncommitted relationships where instability is attributed to either party being unreliable, already involved, or at a distance. You may be interested in someone very different than past experience, and if so, you’re attracting an extreme personality trait that you haven’t fully integrated within your own psychological makeup. Additionally, children will tend to be more independent, unpredictable, or disruptive.

A stellium emphasizes the importance of communication and mental thought that must compete with increased activity, information, engagement with others, and the possibility of being lied to or misled. It may be your role to actively seek the truth. The conflict between the rational and emotional mind can provoke negative emotions, obsessions, compulsions, phobias, and extreme anger that may defy rational control. If you allow it, depression, stress, or anxiety can influence your thinking and decision-making. Clarity of mind and negotiating skills are paramount to gain the advantage when mediating a dispute, bargaining for what you want, or clearing the air concerning a dispute.

However, in relationships where compromise seems impossible and discussions inevitably lead to arguments, you’ll need to defend your rights or disengage to avoid negative impact on your emotional wellbeing. It’s possible you have many enemies or that trouble comes through writings. Although mentally keen, others may criticize your actions or statements. The inclination is always to have one last and generally unkind remark or it may be you who tends to belabor or belittle someone, knowingly or unknowingly. Perhaps you’re overwhelmed by the concern to do the right thing, but depression results from the inability to find solutions to the problem of conflicting needs. Some of these dilemmas involve siblings who may or may not be ready to deal with personal issues and resentment can make communication increasingly difficult.

On the other hand, it may be financial control that dominates your life. In this case, impulse spending and large expenses can drain your capital with dire consequences. If you equate money with self-worth, the tendency is toward conditional love or transactional relationships. The lessons are in self love and appreciation regardless of earning power.
