Venus in Scorpio: A Dark Venus

A planet takes on the energy of the sign it is currently in and modifies its normal Venusian quality to fit with that sign’s energy. When you think of Venus, you think of the materialistic, pleasurable, and enjoyable aspects of life. Venus’s qualities include:

Sensual: It is the planet of passion, romance, and sensuality.
Social: Venus encourages social interaction and cooperation. It is a planet of harmony, relationships, and collaboration.
Entertaining: Venus is associated with creativity and the arts. It is the planet of fun, entertainment, and beauty.
Diplomatic: Venus is associated with diplomacy and charm. It is the planet of diplomacy, tact, and grace.
Practical: Venus is associated with practicality and resourcefulness. It is the planet of practicality, efficiency, and resourcefulness.

When Venus enters Scorpio, the intimidating and transformative energy overwhelms the bubbly, happy qualities, turning it into a sizzling volcano of passion.

Venus in Scorpio: Transformative Love

Scorpio rules sex. The type of Scorpionic sex is never casual. It demands an incredibly deep bond between the two souls in the relationship. The bond between 2 individuals must be formulated through shared experiences that transform both of them on a karmic level. Venus Scorpio doesn’t need the harmonious and romantic love. It needs to tear all facade and external persona of its partner down, leaving only the realest and deepest of them. It needs to see its partner as they truly are.

This intensity scares people. Not everyone is ready to be so vulnerable and expose themselves to such a “naked” experience. They are afraid to look inwards, fearing their own darkest part, afraid to make peace with their trauma. Venus in Scorpio comes in and says “No, I want to see you at its purest. I want to see even the darkest part of you and know you even more than you know yourself.”

Loving a Scorpio Venus is a transformative experience. Scorpio rules death and rebirth. It may mean literal death, but it also means the death of an old self to give way for a more complete and integrated soul. By constantly digging and digging, Venus in Scorpio explores their love in great detail and connects with their partner on a deep level.

Of course, there are varying degrees of Venus in Scorpio. An evolved one experiences such a deep connection with their partner that literally nothing can take them apart. This is exactly the passionate and deep, still love that we see in movies.

An unevolved Scorpio Venus on the other hand, doesn’t understand their intensity and let their own passion take over their rationality. This type of person feels the need to compulsively check on their partner, continuously finding that they are not “connected” enough with their SO, so they express their love in more negative ways, commonly manifesting as codependency, jealousy, and a lack of trust.

Most of us are in neither of these 2 extremes. We fall somewhere in the middle of that. However, Venus in Scorpio is always about extremes, so expect a love that transforms you as a person. The person with this placement will never be the same after each relationship.

The Game Of Power and Sex

Scorpio is associated with power for a reason. Sex itself is a game of power, with 2 opposing energies (masculine and feminine) finding a way to play and fuse with each other. There is no sign that is better than Scorpio in expressing its energy through the power dynamic.

Venus in Scorpio is more on the dominant side. It would love to take control and dominate its partner. Venus energy is inherently feminine, but Scorpio is ruled by Mars, which is the most masculine energy. It expresses love by being in control, steering the sexual experience in the way it wants to.

Venus in Scorpio people know exactly how the sexual experience should go, so they take the reins and make sure that the game will unfold as they wish. Mars is the commander, the General, the Director, and has only its very final goal in mind. Imagine a dominant Venus in Scorpio as a competent leader who brings pleasure to its partner in a rather extreme but transformative way.

However, note that this person wants to play the power dynamic. It does not want a partner that only knows how to be submissive. Rather, it wants a partner that challenges its power. Similar to how a military leader needs an enemy to base his strategy around, Venus Scorpio wants a partner that can also exude power and can potentially strip away its dominant position if it is not careful. It’s too boring to simply dominate without any opposing force.

These people can exude a mysterious aura that charms others, as if they know how to cast a spell. This almost suffocating sexual magnetism is exactly what makes their signature allure. You feel like you can metaphorically “die” under their spell.

In other words, let they feel like they own you.

A Love For Dark Aesthetic

Venus expresses its energy through beautiful objects. The typical Venus expresses its energy via flowers, dresses, luxurious items, or simply money. Venus in Scorpio modifies that energy and turns the people into a literal Wednesday.

Of course, you should not jump to the immediate conclusion that those with this placement loves gothic style. It can express the energy through various channels.

Some of the channels can include arts, paintings, movies, or even humor. Remember, Venus still rules the entertaining, aesthetic, and pleasurable aspects of life, so there can be a tendency for Venus in Scorpio to be drawn towards the dark aesthetics.

For this dark energy to manifest through appearance, there should be an aspect between Venus and the Ascendant. Or at least the person should have a Scorpio ascendant. Other than that, a person with this placement can appear just like anyone else.

Long-term Investment and Business

Venus is also about money, since money brings the pleasures of life, to an extent. When taken in a business context, Scorpio seeks the transformative experience of investment, which can literally transform the wealth of a person within seconds. However, Scorpio doesn’t want immediate wealth. Immediate wealth is more of Uranian energy, which is all about sudden, unexpected, unpredictable, extreme change. Scorpio is more about gradual change.

Scorpio opposes Taurus, a very slow-moving and patient sign, and so Scorpio inherits some of Taurus energies. Venus in Scorpio builds wealth through long-term investment. They want to grow steadily, and once they are committed they will have staying power until the very end. As a result, having Scorpio in 2nd house can make a person interested in those types of gradual investment.

Venus in Scorpio Man

A Venus in Scorpio man is intense and mysterious. He is passionate and often looks for deep connections in all his relationships. A loyal and devoted partner, he loves to have a strong emotional bond with his loved ones. He is a passionate lover with high libido, and loves to express himself through his physical actions.

This man is also highly intuitive and can sense a person’s feelings and intentions. He is not afraid to express his emotions, and will often go the extra mile to make his partner feel special and loved. Often seen as a powerful and dominant figure, he is not afraid to take risks. At times this man can be jealous and possessive, but he also knows how to make his partner feel unique and secure.

Note that Venus is the feminine energy in a person, while Mars is the masculine energy. Therefore, a man with might not always exude his Venus sign energy, but rather his Mars sign energy. If that is the case, the Scorpio energy can be reflected in his partner. He can be drawn towards women who embody the Scorpio symbolism, including qualities such as “dark, mysterious, alluring, passionate”.

The combination between Venus energy and other planets’ energy in a man can create fascinating combos. A Venus in Scorpio man with a Sagittarius Sun might be a lot more outgoing, optimistic, and free-spirited than the general dark stereotypes. However, when it comes to love, that Sagittarius Sun will throw away the usual persona and take on the Scorpio role, a truly passionate lover who gives his full attention to his significant other.

Usually, Venus in Scorpio man wants the very same energy reciprocated to him, so he also expects a certain level of commitment from his partner. If you are ready to surrender, in a way, and dive into the relationship, this man will gladly join and return you tenfold.

Of course, we should never ignore the darker side of Scorpio Venus man. The intensity of emotions can take control and bring the man to his downfall. The most terrifying aspect of Venus Scorpio is its ability to manipulate. Deep down, he is still driven by the dominating Mars energy. If the Scorpio Venus thinks that he is not entirely in control of the relationship, his inner compulsive instincts wake up and tell him that he must do something to regain his power.

This compulsive behavior may manifest as excessive monitoring and psychological manipulation to restrict the behavior of his partner to a safe “circle” that he has complete knowledge over. This makes him feel safe and more secure in the relationship, and he may go to extreme lengths to make sure that the “circle” is never too big for him.

From this need to control comes the constant suspicion of others. If a Venus in Scorpio man has been hurt in previous relationships, he may have trust issues and feel it incredibly challenging to be open and vulnerable again. Because he went all in in his previous relationships, he had nothing left. The utmost important factor in love with Venus in Scorpio man is trust. Once they feel like they can trust you, that’s when they can love you.

Venus in Scorpio Woman

Venus in Scorpio woman is much more in touch with her emotions than the man. She also possesses great depths of feelings, and she may not always understand what was flowing under all of that intensity, but she can channel that energy through her intuition into relationships and transforms, even heals, her partner.

This woman is often mysterious, sometimes even intimidatingly attractive. She will fiercely protect her own heart and those she loves, and can be fiercely loyal. She is not afraid to take risks and is often drawn to the dark and mysterious. In bed, she often has a strong sex drive, and has a strong intuition about people. A Venus Scorpio woman is bold, adventurous. She takes the reign if she can. She seduces you into her world and explores your soul.

Venus is a more prominent energy in a woman than a man, so you can expect a Venus in Scorpio woman to experience more Scorpio-theme events in her love life and relationships.

If her Venus is positively aspected with trines or sextiles, or conjunct by a beneficial planet such as Jupiter or Sun, the Scorpio Venus energy can effortlessly be manifested through her alluring and mysterious beauty, sometimes even her demeanor and behaviors. Her relationships will be characterized by deep connections that leave a lasting impact on her life for years after.

Note that Scorpio is about Death, so Scorpio Venus woman may have to go through painful experiences (even when her Venus is positively aspected) for her to truly appreciate the power she possesses in love, and learn how to healthily establish trust and boundaries.

Venus in Scorpio Compatibility

Due to the intensity of Scorpio, not everyone can handle it. This placement demands absolute trust and commitment, so it can be suffocating to some, especially signs that love freedom and independence like Aries or Sagittarius. However, certain Venus signs enjoy that kind of love, and they are none other than the water Venus signs.

Venus in Pisces: Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, representing the ultimate destination of the soul journey. Pisces lives in a land of dream and fantasy, and they want to merge into the infinite sea of consciousness and become interconnected with all beings. This aligns with the Scorpio’s ideals of connection, so Venus in Pisces can surrender itself to merge with the soul of Venus in Scorpio, of course symbolically.

Venus in Cancer: Venus in Cancer is a perfect blend between Venus in Pisces and Venus in Scorpio. It is not as intense as Scorpio, yet still inherits all of the nurturing and caring qualities of Pisces.
