Venus in Scorpio is a powerful witch. She walks alone in the forest at night, illuminated only by drops of moonlight, casting watery spells and helping transform everything that awaits healing.
Venus is the planet responsible for describing our values, making us attracted to the outside world, infusing us with self-esteem and also preparing ourselves for relationships with others. It is natural, then, that Venus’ presence in Scorpio produces a tense combination, since this sign speaks of death, abandonment, loss, crises, emotional depth and transformations.
Scorpio Venus describes that all of these themes of emotional intensity tend to be awakened by an outside figure. Taurus is the sign that describes our own values, while Scorpio, opposite to Taurus, describes other people’s values. So Venus in Scorpio is interested in investigating and feeling other people’s universe with depth and intensity. Venus in Scorpio is all about figuring out other people’s motives and feelings in a discreet, charming manner. Mars is Scorpio’s ruler, describing that Scorpio’s investigative movements are often done with aggressiveness and demonstrations of power and will. But when Venus is in Scorpio, these investigative movements become more feminine and subtle. People with this placement observe the objects of their affections from afar, disguised. They will quietly analyze gestures, traits, intentions, words, habits… and will slowly understand what people are about using their intuition and their feelings.
Venus’ presence in Scorpio is about discovering one’s own depth through the contact with others, and this is why every relationship with this Venus is so intense. Scorpio is a bottomless lake. There’s no way you can enter this pool slowly or with caution. Venus in Scorpio is either in or out, with no space for in betweens, so people with this placement will dive into Scorpio’s depths when they’re truly interested in someone, and this is done only after much investigation and thought. This is also why Venus in Scorpio seems to be popularly related with feelings of jealousy and vengeance, which is natural when we understand how intensely people with this placement deal with their relationships. They generally put their whole being into them, so it’s understandable that they experience the most destructive feelings when everything is over or worse, when they’re cheated on. This is when they may overflow with violent and annihilating emotions towards someone who used to be significant in their lives. Certainly, this doesn’t always happen, but the truth is that meeting someone and being interested in them is always a deep and transforming event in Scorpio Venus’ life.
This Venus is also attracted to Scorpio’s themes like mysticism, healing arts and anything that is not quite clear; astrology, for example. It’s all about unveiling the mystery surrounding one’s own emotional realm and others’ too. And this is actually a way of acquiring the emotional power over others that is so enticing to Venus in Scorpio, mainly through uncovering secrets about others, and this obviously has both its skillful and unskillful manifestations.
Finally, it’s important to understand how powerful this placement is. Not only this, but also how essential it is, for this reason, to be wise here. Scorpio Venus is constantly weaving the magic of meetings and dealing with the most profound energies of others. This is mostly an unconscious feature, but bringing it to consciousness and being able to neutralize things that serve no purpose will be fundamental to building more stable relationships and feelings.
