Aquarius:
If you have either Venus (with feminine energy) in Aquarius or Mars (with masculine energy) in Aquarius, you may act one of two ways.
You might come off as quirky, interesting, unique, and individualistic. You flirt by showing what’s different about you and how much you refuse to conform to society and culture. You love to talk about new ideas and might flirt through conversation (which is always super unique), wacky clothes, or even unconventional body language. You’re goofy and fun-loving!
Alternatively, you might seem cool, detached, unemotional, and intellectual. This will attract a partner who wants to learn more about you, as you can seem mysterious and mentally stimulating. You may not be unemotional in reality, but you use this “witholding” method as a means of flirting.
Pisces:
If you have either Venus (with feminine energy) in Pisces or Mars (with masculine energy) in Pisces, you probably come off as mysterious and deep. This is not in a Scorpio fashion (this depth is not scary), but in an ideological fashion. You’re sort of like a deep cavern, or blank slate, which allows your love interest to project their idea of romance onto you.
You come off as an illusion yourself. You also seem compassionate, soulful, demure, and self-sacrificing. You often have deep eyes that draw the other in. You’re nervous and timid (when sober!), but this somehow works in your favor and attracts those with more bold flirting signs.
This description is easy to apply to Venus in Pisces, but Mars in Pisces is a bit tougher. With masculine energy, you are mainly focused on finding a soul-mate connection, even if it’s just for a night. You’re affectionate, romantic, and sensuous. You do have a deep, mysterious sense about you that feminine energy flocks to.
After a few drinks, someone with Venus/Mars in Pisces can be silly and even somewhat outgoing!
