Read your horoscope for Venus in Scorpio
Flirting with the dark side
When Venus travels through Scorpio from September 22nd to October 17th, casual flings are out and twin flames are in. ’Tis the season for swapping ghost stories on a first date, creating art that’s more unsettling than aesthetically pleasing, and scraping away curated veneers to reach the messy core of what it means to be human. In this fixed water sign, Venus isn’t afraid of bonds that are intense and transformative, but it doesn’t leave the safety of its subterranean hiding place for just anyone. When it feels vulnerable, Venus in Scorpio may deflect its emotions and act out before turning inward to reflect — whether by getting prickly with others or simply vanishing completely.
But in this Mars-ruled sign, the planet of love also understands that deep intimacy is something worth fighting for, even when it makes us uncomfortable. Whether you dare to broach an awkward conversation with your best friend or to tell your beloved how you really feel, know that risk is the key to regeneration in all our relationships. Venus in Scorpio brings both bitterness and sweetness — a combo that may not be to everyone’s taste. But for those who yearn to dig into the heart of the matter, the coming weeks will be cathartic — and maybe even good fodder for some confessional poetry.
