Venus in Scorpio

Right after Venus entered Scorpio on December 4th, she made a trine (a supportive 120 degree aspect) to Saturn, planet of stability, commitment, and longevity on the 5th.

As a result, we settle into more of a sense of safety & assurance in our pursuits of pleasure, love, and beauty.

On the 9th, Venus makes an opposition to Jupiter. Be wary of over-indulgence if need be. Otherwise, this is a day for luxury, celebration, juicy connection, and enthusiastic pursuit of what you cherish.

The 11th is filled with sweet words and positive messages as Venus sextiles Mercury.

Venus in Scorpio is loyal, committed, honest, passionate, & intense.

Venus in Scorpio feels deeply for those she loves, but isn’t the most demonstrative at first. This gal can keep her love a secret for as long as she needs.

That being said, Venus in Scorpio isn’t up for inauthenticity when it comes to matters of the heart.

Whatever isn’t being expressed with your loves must come out. Whatever you value must be fiercely protected or sought after. Whatever justice issues are important to you, maybe related to gender or women, must be acted upon.

Venus opposing Uranus on the 21st will bring surprises, turn-arounds, breakdowns, & breakthroughs in relationships, style, and art. Her trine to Neptune on the 25th will bring the most luxurious escapist and romantic pleasures.

Venus in Scorpio can bring things to the surface in our relationships that need examining. She can highlight jealousy, insecurity, possessiveness, anger, and obsession.

If these things come up, try these steps:

1). What’s going on in your body? Notice it.

2). Meet the part of yourself that feels this way with understanding and empathy.

3). Get to know this part of you- why does it feel this way? How old does it feel? What are its needs? Can you envision yourself meeting them?

4). Are there any stories or assumptions coming up around a lover or partner that might not be true?

5). Ask! Communicate your feelings and needs using nonviolent communication! (Easily google-able)

Venus in Scorpio shows us what’s deeply important to us, what needs our attention & commitment, and what may need healing & love.
