Venus in Scorpio

Any person born with Venus in Scorpio seeks relationships that provide emotional depth, intensity and the potential for transformation. Venus here cannot stand relating to others in a superficial and shallow fashion. This person thrives on passion and emotional honesty, and may be possessive and jealous, or attract partners who are. The partner’s commitment and loyalty must be unflinching. Scorpio is a fixed water sign and possesses a capacity for enduring love, betrayal and humiliation are rarely forgotten or forgiven, and early painful experiences are concealed, protecting great sensitivity and vulnerability. Sometimes there are darker undercurrents to love - cruelty, abuse, crisis, disturbance and drama.

Venus in Scorpio seeks nothing less than complete merging with a partner. Much of the love nature is tangled up in power-struggles, extreme feelings, and need to maintain control. Sometimes there is far too much pride to offer an apology after an argument, and fights are fairly common, unless the love nature is completely repressed and everything simmers and seethes underneath like a volcano threatening to erupt. Sexuality for Venus in Scorpio is more a matter of emotion and the sign longs to taste the depths of sweet surrender, it has little connection with the physical body (Taurus) and more to do with the soul. Superficial displays of love have little appeal, and there isn’t anything lukewarm about our Scorpio lover. This sign knows how to read lovers on a soul level, and understands about honest relating. It can be deeply flattering to a partner to have such unflinching devotion, even if they are possessive, but no one likes to lose what they have become attached to. No one is left unaffected by relationships without changing.
