Beginning November 7th, Venus joins the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio. Venus is accidentally in her fall because Taurus, which is ruled by Venus, is the sign opposite Scorpio. Being in her fall in Scorpio until December 1st, indicates that we can look forward to Scorpio’s darker influence. Strong and passionate sexual desires, jealousy, and secrecy are all in the scope for our intimate relationships. The most appropriate sentiment associated with this aspect is, “How deeply do you love me?”
Venus in Scorpio seems on the surface to be a romance boosting aspect and for the more evolved person yes, I agree. We can manifest great sex with deeper meaning. We can bathe in one another’s emotional soup and be whisked away by the intensity and passion. We may even find ourselves making huge proclamations of our love to the object of our affections. It is possible that we have and seek higher ideals in new and already existing relationships and find that we have the ability to manifest actions which propel our relationships in the direction we seek. If we feel we have a worthy partner we may find ourselves risking everything for love.
However, the aspect can also encourage some negative emotions and behaviors as well. Venus in Scorpio can heighten the sting of rejection, or make a jealous individual feel even more insecure. The mixture of increased passion and insecurity and rejection can lead to an overwhelmingly sinister and cruel all or nothing situation. People may be more susceptible to their emotions. Becoming more apt to only see their own perspectives and not those of others. Some others may take their relationships too seriously leading to self-righteousness, ego based arguments, disillusionment and bitterness. As such, it is important to be gentle with others during this aspect. Make a concerted effort to avoid criticisms of a personal nature. Be aware of other’s soft spots and tread lightly.
Finally, Venus in Scorpio may just peak your interest in the mysteries of life and death, the psychic, occult, and mystical. The Scorpio may offer a increased interest in probing motivations, diagnosing causes, detecting clues, and doing research.
