The cosmic weather has officially shifted, and if you feel like you’re walking through a hazy, romantic dreamscape, there is a very good reason for it. On February 10, 2026, Venus—the planet of love, beauty, and money—glided into the ethereal waters of Pisces, where she will remain until March 6.
In astrology, Venus is “exalted” in Pisces. This means the planet of romance is operating at her highest, most potent frequency. For the next week, the collective energy is trading in cold logic for soul-deep intuition. But while everyone gets a sprinkle of this cosmic fairy dust, our Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are the undisputed royalty of this transit.
Here is why the tides are turning in your favor, the dates you need to circle in red, and the specific “energy vampires” you must avoid to keep your heart intact.
The Exaltation: Why Water Signs Are Winning
When Venus is in Pisces, love becomes a spiritual experience. It’s no longer about “checking boxes” or practical compatibility; it’s about unconditional devotion. Water signs naturally speak this language of emotion and empathy, making them the primary beneficiaries of this week’s luck.
- Pisces: With Venus moving through your first house of self, you are literally glowing. Your personal magnetism is at an all-time high. People aren’t just attracted to you; they are captivated by your aura.
- Cancer: Venus is lighting up your ninth house of expansion and destiny. This week, luck comes from “the unknown”—perhaps a soulmate connection with someone from a different culture or a romantic breakthrough during a trip.
- Scorpio: Love is entering your fifth house of romance and pleasure. For the first time in a long time, the universe is giving you permission to drop your guard and simply play. This is the ultimate “main character” energy for your dating life.
📅 The “Golden Dates” for Love This Week
Mark your calendars. The week of February 22, 2026, is when the luck reaches a fever pitch.
February 16: The Karmic Click
Venus aligns with the North Node of Destiny in Pisces. This is a “fated” day. If you meet someone new today, or if an ex-partner resurfaces, pay attention. This isn’t a coincidence; it’s a soul-contract moment.
February 22: The Jackpot (Venus Trine Jupiter)
This is arguably the luckiest day for love in all of 2026. Venus in Pisces forms a perfect trine with Jupiter in Cancer. This is a rare alignment of the “Two Benefics.”
- For Singles: A “too good to be true” connection might actually be true.
- For Couples: A massive leap in commitment—think engagements, moving in, or deep emotional healing.
The Red Flags: Who Water Signs Should Avoid
While the “love goggles” are on, there is a danger of falling for a fantasy rather than a person. Because Venus in Pisces dissolves boundaries, Water signs are prone to becoming “saviors” for people who are actually “sinks.”
To protect your peace this week, be wary of these archetypes:
1. The “Broken Wing” Project
Venus in Pisces makes you want to heal everyone. Avoid the person who leads with their trauma or “needs to be saved.” In this transit, you are looking for a partner, not a patient. If you find yourself making excuses for someone’s poor behavior because they had a “hard childhood,” back away.
2. The “Ghost” of Relationships Past
With Mercury stationing retrograde on February 26, the urge to text an ex will be strong. However, Pisces energy can make you remember a toxic relationship through a “sepia filter,” conveniently forgetting why it ended. If they haven’t done the inner work, don’t let them back into your sacred space.
3. The Boundary Bluntheader
Avoid anyone who scoffs at your need for space or emotional check-ins. Because your sensitivity is heightened, you need someone who respects your “vibe.” If someone feels “loud” or aggressive in your energy field, trust your gut—not their words.
How to Maximize Your Luck
To truly harness this exalted Venus, you have to move out of your head and into your heart.
- Trust the “Vibe” over the Resume: If someone looks great on paper but feels “off” in your solar plexus, listen to the feeling.
- Lean into Art: Use this week to create. Whether it’s a playlist for your crush or a painting of your feelings, Venus in Pisces loves a creative outlet.
- Set One Firm Boundary: Paradoxically, the best way to invite love in is to show the universe you value yourself. Say “no” to one social event that drains you to make room for the one that fuels you.
Pro-Tip: Wear seafoam green, soft blues, or iridescent accessories this week to align your personal frequency with the Piscean waves.
