Venus in Scorpio

Venus represents what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value. In Scorpio, it expresses itself with intensity and depth, all or nothing.

Venus is in its detriment in Scorpio — a fixed water sign ruled by Mars —, acting against its nature: the lady of sweetness and harmony plunges into the sign of extreme passion and of the hidden. Intense and a strategist, it draws to itself what it desires as one moving invisible threads, with deep and insatiable desires. It reads the intentions of others keenly, and knows both how to live its wants in full and how to bury them when they no longer serve. The detriment is felt in the love that becomes torment — jealousy, possession, all or nothing. Its power lies in personal renewal, provided it does not let itself be dragged into the still waters of drama and obsession. It is a Venus of deep and dangerous passion, that loves with all its soul — and that learns, at a cost, to release what it grasps.
