Venus, the planet of love, dances within each zodiac sign for just under a month each year. From September 23 till October 17, she will trade the charm and roses of Libra for a winning scowl. Get ready for an increase in intensity and passion within your relationships! As she shivers into Scorpio, you will crave intimacy with another on the greatest of levels. Who you trust, are connected to and value, will be paramount concerns.
Assessing what you give and receive in relationships will also be of interest—in business, romance or collaboration. It’s time to go deeper in your relationships than ever before! When Venus transits Scorpio, we crave union with another in body and soul. Venus is known to be in her detriment when she is in Scorpio, which means its natural drives (to foster love and beauty) get muffled. It’s not that Venus in Scorpio isn’t loving or beautiful, but it refuses to play by the etiquette guide of Libra, the sign Venus has just passed through. Venus in Scorpio prefers risqué jokes and vampire aesthetics, thank you very much.
This all changes when she soars into the seas of Scorpio. Superficial relations will not interest us and casual flirtations or dalliances will be incredibly unsatisfying. While our libidos will skyrocket and we may feel the surge of lust, hook-ups or whirlwind romances will end up triggering frustration, anger, resentment or revenge rather than fulfilment. Save that feisty, flirty energy for when Venus enters Sagittarius next!
Do you have your natal Venus in Scorpio?
Surface level chit-chat doesn’t amuse with this placement. Venus in Scorpio wants you to tunnel to the deepest core of intimacy. How? By trusting that body-level desires are messages from the soul. To woo this Venus to your side, ask deeper questions. Take emotional risks. Uncover the intimacy that can only emerge when two mysteries collide. The type of relationships summoned through this witchery? Soulmates.
Venus in Scorpio’s double-edged sword: Secrecy and mystery are hot! This transit turns up the mystery, but too much secrecy could devolve into jealousy or stir up unnecessary trust issues. Tempted by someone who is technically unavailable? Good sense could fly out the window in the face of a scorching hot attraction. Find ways to get your kicks that don’t require you to break any binding relationship rules. One more warning! Jealousy makes regular appearances during this cycle, especially for those with an anxious attachment style. Leaving something to the imagination can be hot, but riling up jealousy? Don’t even THINK about going there.
On Friday, October 4, Venus in Scorpio will form a sweet trine to taskmaster Saturn in dreamy Pisces. This aspect encourages us to take a disciplined and responsible approach to matters of the heart. We could feel closer to our significant other, loved one, friend or business partner - and more ready to "do the work" of bonding and showing up for one another. It's a time when we may find deep satisfaction in long-lasting connections and appreciate the value of loyalty and dedication.
On Tuesday, October 8, Venus forms another trine to go-getter Mars in fellow water sign, sentimental Cancer, which boosts creativity and the ability to attract pleasurable experiences.
On Monday, October 14, Venus enters into an opposition with Uranus, which introduces an element of unpredictability and excitement to our love lives. Uranus is known for its revolutionary and spontaneous energy, and when in opposition to Venus, it can shake up our romantic lives. Sudden attractions, unexpected encounters, or a desire for more freedom in relationships may surface during this period. While it can be exhilarating, it's essential to strike a balance between excitement and stability to avoid impulsive decisions.
Finally, on October 15, Venus forms a trine with Neptune, enhancing our capacity for empathy, compassion, and spiritual connection in matters of love. This aspect encourages us to seek deeper emotional bonds and to express our affections in more profound and soulful ways. It's a beautiful time for romantic gestures, heartfelt conversations, and connecting on a spiritual or artistic level with our loved ones.
