Venus In Scorpio Is Here — & You Shouldn’t Make Any Impulsive Moves
Usage Guide
Overview
From September 10th to October 25th, Venus enters Scorpio — and it’ll be a vibe. Take note because it’s all-or-nothing energy can consume us, encompassing a deep, passionate love affair with others, ourselves, and the world. There is nothing or no one that Venus in Scorpio leaves unchecked in its path towards finding commitment, which is why we hold it in high regard. On occasion, Venus in Scorpio can be possessive and hold grudges because the Water sign does have stingers that it takes out when people upset it. However, most of the time, this placement wants to connect with others and has a fierce aura that changes our lives for the better.
This year, Venus in Scorpio is experiencing an interesting turn of events, due to the retrograde it’s undergoing from October 3rd to November 13th. Let’s start with the aspects it’s making to the healing centaur Chiron, add evolutionary Pluto (the modern planetary ruler of Scorpio), and action-oriented Mars (Scorpio’s traditional planetary ruler), and we have a mix of intense energy shaking up the mood.
Venus will oppose Chiron retrograde in Taurus on September 10th, asking us to look within ourselves to remedy situations, while reconciling our fears. The caveat is that we’ll seek validation from others, but we should look within ourselves for confidence. People will mirror our actions, forcing us to reassess how we treat them and ourselves. When Venus squares Pluto in Aquarius three times on September 15th, October 20th, and December 9th, desires will explode. Power struggles may persist. Venus and Mars in Leo create a whirlwind connection on October 10th (the day of the New Moon in Libra). These forces entice us to forge meaningful relationships that grow on December 12th, when Venus harmonizes with Mars in Virgo, laying down the foundation for our future.
Now, let’s jump into Venus retrograde! The moonwalk lasts 42 days, making the onset of cuffing season complex. Venus will be gliding backward in Scorpio from October 3rd to 25th, re-entering Libra from October 25th to December 4th. Then, Venus moves back into Scorpio from December 4th to January 7th, 2027. The pre-shadow period began on August 31st in Libra, and the post-retrograde zone ends on December 15th in Scorpio. December 29th is the time to DTR [Define The Relationship] because the Nodes of Destiny offer a choice in how we want to move partnerships forward — or not.
Venus retrograde forces us to contemplate what we value and align with. In Scorpio, we’ll be looking at who we wish to be intimate with — not for now, but for the long run. We’re releasing anything that makes us question our intuition and merging with those that help us feel confident. The best days of the retrograde are October 6th and 23rd, when Mercury and the sun form a conjunction with Venus in the same sign and degree. They’re great moments to make decisions and plans for the future. Committing to a new relationship is not recommended when Venus is backstroking, so use those days to go out with friends and have profound conversations.
Details
Venus retrograde in Scorpio isn’t a time to commit to a new look. If you’re looking to make any changes to your style or ‘fits, put them on the board for later; you could always come back and reinvent yourself once Venus goes direct.
Overall, Venus in Scorpio offers the opportunity to clear the air through introspection, prompting us to reevaluate our circumstances. We’re figuring out how to proceed in ways that are healthy and meaningful. It’s important to put ourselves first and listen to our gut feelings; don’t deny ourselves the sentiments that propel us in any direction. If we get lost in the mix or are moody at times, it’s totally fine. The transit’s complex nature will be a roller coaster, so hold on tight for the bumpy ride and don’t make impulsive moves — at least until Venus clears the post-retrograde shadow.
