Venus enters Scorpio

Venus is in Scorpio from December 4-December 29, 2023.

Deeply passionate relations are the focus with Venus in Scorpio. Superficial flirtations and contacts do not satisfy now, as we yearn for “body and soul” contact with someone special–contact that breaks the taboos, that is extreme and intense, and that is unforgettable. This is a highly emotional position for Venus. It is a passionate, sensual, and intense energy. Our relationships are immensely important to us, and we may even feel that they consume us. In fact, we tend to want to be consumed by them! Our drive is toward intense closeness, but blind faith in our partners is extremely hard for us now.

Similarly, we seek or gravitate to absorbing, deeply engaging, dramatic pleasures, activities, projects, and art during this Venus-in-Scorpio cycle. Things that are profound, disturbing, mysterious, or unusual can be more appealing now.

Fears of being too vulnerable or of giving up our own power to others are strong. We can be very sensitive and passionate, but when upset, we might shut others out completely. Scorpio is an “all or nothing” energy, and relationships tend to be somewhat of a rollercoaster ride as a result. Disdain for mediocrity and superficiality can compel us to create crises to feel alive and vital.

This can be a good time for finances, especially when working with others’ talents or resources, whether as an agent, supporter, or partner.
