Venus in Aries: the second house for Pisces rising

Every Pisces-rising chart has Aries on the 2nd house, the house of wealth, family, food and speech and a wealth house and a maraka house. Aries adds speed, courage and a need to act first. The house's natural significator is Jupiter, worth checking alongside. The same lord, Mars, owns the 9th too, tying the two houses together.

Venus in the 2nd brings sweet speech, love of good food and fine things, and wealth through arts, beauty or luxury trades. By sign, Venus is in a neutral sign, ruled by Mars. Its sign is neutral ground. Venus stays within about 47° of the Sun, so the Sun is in the 2nd or within two signs of it; a Venus very close to the Sun is combust and gives its results more quietly.
