Venus in Scorpio: What It Means for Your Sign

Venus is the planet of love, beauty and harmony. It governs our relationships (particularly our love life) and embodies harmony and cooperation in all its forms. Every year, Venus spends some time in each sign of the zodiac only once, spreading its message of beauty and love to all. As it moves into each new sign, that sign affects how Venus does its work in the world, which in turn affects us here on earth. By understanding what it means when Venus is in a particular sign, we can figure out how to harness its power and strengthen our friendships, romantic relationships and professional connections. Here’s what Venus in Scorpio means for all of us.

Signs that may face challenges when Venus is in Scorpio: Taurus, Aquarius and Leo

The overview: When Venus dives from light, airy Leo into the murky waters of Scorpio, things can get intense fast. When it comes to relationships, Scorpio is all or nothing and doesn’t play games with small talk or pleasantries. Venus in Scorpio is a time for going deep, not only with yourself but with others. It is a time of passion, emotional connection and yes, sexual energy. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 

Love: If you want to go deep with someone and get to know them on a soul level, Venus in Scorpio is for you. Now is not the time for starting surface-level relationships with strangers in message boards. Venus in Scorpio wants more, and you’re not going to be able to get excited about a relationship unless it has that potential. If you find one that does, be careful not to fall into Scorpio’s jealous or possessive tendencies. This is also a time of intense sexual connections, so you know that thing you’ve always wanted to try? This is a good time to try it. 

Career and finances: Passions run high in Scorpio, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself really invested at work. If you have any projects you care about, this is the time to take them over the finish line. Try not to let office small talk get on your nerves too much, and don’t let Scorpio’s jealousy affect relationships with your coworkers. 

Mood: You may find yourself holding back during this time, as Scorpio can have a hard time opening up to anyone other than its most trusted companions. This is also a time when you should look to follow your gut when it comes to other people, as Scorpio’s laser-focused intuition will be leading the way.
