So if I were to meet a Virgo or Capricorn I actually like I should avoid them altogether? The one Virgo guy I asked about (not the married guy) I do like him even though we do have challenging aspects. I guess that's because of the Moon conjunt Saturn aspect. He's someone who I hope to always be friends with. It's just hard whenever I think about us not talking anymore. Yes I know about Saturn but being in the 4th house which represents the home isn't easy. Especially now that I'm in my Saturn Return. I don't think I'm really that sensitive I guess it depends on the situation. The thing about Venus in Pisces is that we love unconditionally and people don't appreciate that.
In all honesty, a lot of people get a little too caught up with what signs are compatible. True, not all signs get along with each other equally well depending on what their element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) or their energy (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable) is -- but actually, compatibility is at least a bit more flexible than that. What's significantly more important than the signs are the interactions between different planets in terms of their degree of separation from each other. As an example, Gemini and Virgo don't usually get along in spite of both being ruled by Mercury and both being Mutable energy signs -- two planets at the same degrees of Gemini and Virgo will square each other. However, if you're talking about one planet in the very early degrees of Gemini and the other in the very late degrees of Virgo, that's a whole different story because this creates a sextile which is much more favorable. That being said, even then, some aspects are easier than others. A tight sextile between one person's Sun in Gemini and the other person's Sun (Moon, Mercury, whatever) in Leo is always going to be smoother than an equally tight one of the kind I mentioned before because the elements in the first case are compatible whereas they aren't in the second case (Air makes Fire come alive but tends to feel suffocated by Earth...or else creates a dust storm/sand storm).
As I said, if you're fairly certain that you want to date a fellow Earth sign, I strongly advise that you look for people whose Sun (and any other Earth planets) are either in the very early or late degrees of the sign so that you avoid as much conflict as possible with your Moon and Mars and Saturn. Here's how I anticipate it would be likely to play out:
Sun and/or other planets in very early Taurus -- conjunction with your Sun, trine with your Neptune, opposition with your Pluto (a bit tricky), possible out of sign trine with your Ascendant.
Sun and/or other planets in very late Taurus -- sextile with your Venus, potential inconjunct with your Saturn (that could be very difficult to deal with), inconjunct with your Neptune (which could also be very difficult), square with your Ascendant, possible inconjunct with your Neptune out of sign, possible inconjunct with Pluto out of sign, square your Ascendant. Not advisable -- too many challenging aspects
Sun and/or other planets in very early Virgo -- trine with your Sun, possible inconjunct with your Moon, inconjunct with your Venus out of sign, possible square with your Mars, possible trine with your Uranus out of sign, trine your Neptune, sextile your Pluto, possible conjunction with your Ascendant out of sign.
Sun and/or other planets in late Virgo -- square with your Sun out of sign, opposition with your Venus, square with your Uranus, possible square with Neptune out of sign. Not advisable -- way too many challenging aspects
Sun and/or other planets in early Capricorn -- trine with your Sun, square with your Venus out of sign, possible inconjunct with your Mars (rather difficult), potential square with your Jupiter, possible conjunction out of sign with your Uranus, conjunction with your Neptune, sextile your Pluto, possible trine with your Ascendant out of sign.
Sun and/or other planets in late Capricorn -- square with your Sun out of sign, sextile with your Venus, possible square with your Pluto out of sign (difficult), inconjunct with your Ascendant. Not really advisable
Take your pick...
In all fairness, I don't think Venus in Pisces is entirely to blame for your sensitivity (although that almost certainly is part of it). I think the fact that four of your inner planets -- Saturn Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto -- were retrograde at the time of your birth is part of it also. When a person has one or more planets in retrograde motion in the natal chart, the energy of the planet(s) is turned inward rather than expressed outwardly.
If it's any consolation, Saturn is a planet which is not easy to like. Saturn is about commitment and responsibility but it's also about hard truths -- difficulty, fear, inhibition, limitation, and sacrifice (not words which a lot of people like to think about). The plain and simple truth is that we don't have to like him (although we do need to respect him). In fact, I'm not certain we're even supposed to like him -- he holds us back in order to teach us lessons which encourage us to grow, and growth is often painful. Personally, even though Saturn is said to be exalted in Libra -- which I don't understand myself -- I think the only really good Saturn placements are Virgo and Capricorn, especially if they're in the tenth house (although Saturn in the eighth is thought to have the advantage of granting long life). I have Saturn in the fifth, which is a difficult placement. You and I both also have a hard Saturn -- Saturn is said to be in detriment (the opposite sign from the one it rules) in Cancer, and my Saturn in Aries is said to be in its fall (the opposite sign from its exaltation).
