I have Venus in pisces and it’s so accurate. I am 19 yrs old and a girl. I’ve been through messy relationships and have a very dark history, mostly being taken advantage of. Sometimes I’m too generous or too empathic or even too emotional. I stayed away from relationships for a long time (a year). I found a Sagittarius with Venus in scorpio guy. He’s.. He’s something <3. We understand eachother like no one else. It's unspoken.
From my experience; the venus in a man’s chart will also determine his behavior in love over his other signs (with the rare exception if a man is out of touch or blocks his own feminine self.) But all serious relationships I’ve had the man acts from his venus when in love.
