Venus in Pisces loves subtly, compassionately, and almost defenselessly before a strong feeling. Here love is often experienced as something greater than personal sympathy: as inspiration, mercy, a secret bond of souls, music, prayer, dream, sacrifice, salvation. The person is drawn to tenderness, depth, vulnerability, artistry, spirituality, mystery. They may see beauty where others see weakness and feel another's pain so closely, as if it passes through their own heart.
In relationships, this Venus needs softness and trust. It is difficult for it next to roughness, cynicism, dry calculation, and cruel words. It can love very devotedly, dreamily, selflessly, sometimes silently. Signs of soul connection are important for it: a glance, music, intonation, shared silence, the ability to understand without explanations. It often gives the partner a great deal of sympathy and forgiveness, because it sees not only the action, but also the hidden wound behind it.
