Love on a Unrealistic Pedestal
One of the aspects of this Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces energy is the tendency to place lovers on a pedestal. Pisces is seeking the eternal soulmate, and this energy is likely to trip us up when it comes to love. Venus in Virgo wants to put potential lovers through a critical ringer, but the calling for a deep spiritual soulmate via Neptune in Pisces is likely to lower our guard making us susceptible to unrealistic ideals in love and relationships.

Due to the sensitive, compassionate nature of Neptune in Pisces, there is great potential for spiritual connections at this time. However, the opposition between Venus in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces does require grounding to prevent deception due to our desire to experience an idealistic romantic relationship that doesn’t hold weight in reality.
Ungrounded Finances
When it comes to finances, this is not the best time to make investments. While Venus in Virgo desires discernment and practicality in money matters, Neptune in Pisces could bring in potential financial prospects that aren’t exactly what they appear to be. It is possible that we could encounter situations where we lose money due to money schemes. It is important to try to hone in on the Venus in Virgo energy to determine whether a financial prospect is grounded in reality and fiscally responsible as opposed to a fly-by-night scam.
If considering any investments with partners at this time, it’s best to hold off. Joint financial investments could end up causing relationship troubles because one or both parties are deceptive about finances.
Kindness Perceived as Weakness
The Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces transit can ultimately lead to individuals being taken advantage of by less than honorable characters as it relates to love and finances. The usual Virgo discernment and critical nature are clouded by Neptune in Pisces’ open, giving nature.
When it comes to love, we were likely to attract predators who are more than willing to take advantage of our caring nature. This is the energy of people taking kindness for weakness. Just a heads up. Be careful on dating sites at this time. All that appears dreamy and ideal is not exactly as it appears to be. That dream lover could end up being a nightmare all because we wanted a deep spiritual connection.
When it comes to finances, the energy of Neptune in Pisces could have us being overly generous in trying to help those who are down and out. While helping others is honorable, Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces could bring us in contact with people who embody the energy of the scheming underdog.
