Love, Lust, and Seduction: Venus in Scorpio horoscope
Everything you need to know about this sexy transit
In case you haven’t read your weekly horoscope, then you might not know that your relationships, sex life, creativity, and money-making prowess are about to be transformed in a stealthy, sexy way. Because they ARE. On Dec. 4, Venus is taking a plunge into the mysterious, sexy waters of Scorpio until slithering into Sagittarius on Dec. 29. It's a short Venus transit, I know, but it isn't your average stroll through the Venusian park; it's more like a steamy jungle trek, where hidden desires, tangled webs, and secret treasures await. Indubitably, as the planet of love, creativity, sex and money swirls through Scorpio's cosmic cobwebs, relationships become intricate tapestries waiting to be unwoven and explored. (Psst.

Venus in Scorpio Meaning
With this transit, Venus is serving intensity, passion, and a dash of the unexpected in Scorpio's sultry realm. Picture yourself as a sort of archeologist of the heart, dusting off layers of emotions and uncovering hidden bargains in the romantic, sexual, and financial realms. It's like a celestial thrift store where every purchase is driven by loyalty, lust, and a smidge of possessiveness.
I’m not going to sugarcoat it: Venus in Scorpio is intense. The planet of love isn’t exactly thrilled to be in the fixed water sign—mostly because Scorpio is ~technically~ one of Venus’ opposite signs, but also because Scorpio has two really powerful (and scary) planets influencing it: Mars & Pluto. These two cosmic juggernauts don’t adhere to the same “peace, love, art, and good vibes only” code of conduct that Venus does. They’re more of a “fight, destroy, chase, annihilate, pierce, and transform” type of energy.
That therein is the crux of Venus in Scorpio transit: If Venus wants peace and love, Scorpio wants conflict (i.e.: drama) and lust; if Venus wants pleasure, Scorpio wants pain; and if Venus wants easy-going-and-flowing sensuality, Scorpio wants passion. And lots of it.
Oh, and sex. Did I mention Venus in Scorpio loves sex? Because Venus in Scorpio really loves sex. This transit is sure to fire up your libido, but it’ll also fire up your “spiritual” approach to love, relating, and sex. It’s the merging of two bodies / souls / beings into one, the carnal sensuality, and the potential promise of physical / spiritual regeneration that turns Venus in Scorpio on more than anything else. Kinda. There are numerous other feelings/sensations that rev your engine during Venus in Scorpio, the bulk of which include: fetishes, jealousy, loyalty, power, control, transformation, drama, and…money.
Venus in Scorpio: Transformation of Self & Self-Values
Yep, your values—both in life and in love—are in for a transformation with Venus in Scorpio. This is a period when change is deliciously desirable; transformation is a fetish, and the process of elimination is your largest ally in creative / relational / financial decision-making. Not that Venus in Scorpio is terribly decisive, because it isn’t. However, it does know what it doesn’t want before it knows what it actually needs. And if that isn’t confusing enough, then the push/pull between pleasure and pain, hanging on and letting go, along with the dilemma of self-indulgence and self-restraint, certainly will be. (I never said this transit would be easy!)
Deep emotional exchanges and one-on-one conversations (along with secret, late-night makeout sessions) are much more attractive than large group gatherings full of superficial conversation. Ardent affections and torrid flirtations are the essence of Venus in Scorpio, but it’s a feast or famine type of deal. As much as we ache for an emotional-turned-physical connection with another, we’re also content holding out until such a connection arrives. To Venus in Scorpio, there must always be a purpose to the pleasure we seek, otherwise we see no point in it.
There’s a tendency to covet, envy, and obsessively crave what is / isn’t yours with the transit, which can make sharing a tad difficult. Even so, Venus in Scorpio is alluring, magnetic, seductive, dramatic, and hella creative. Which is really good news for your current partnerships and/or creative projects (so long as you stay loyal to them and don’t go around teasing other suitors/projects just for the thrill of it). Of course, which relationships, creative projects, and/or financial dealings are awaiting the seductive, intense, transformative energy of Venus in Scorpio depends entirely on your Sun / Rising sign. So, without further ado:
