When love planet Venus slinks into erotic Scorpio, there’s no telling what might transpire. Your Venus in Scorpio horoscope for this arousing transit, from September 22 to October 16.
The magic happens behind closed doors as Venus glides into seductive Scorpio on Sunday, September 22. In this smoldering sign, a sultry sidelong glance could set off serious sparks.
But shhh… the real magic happens in the mystery. Venus in Scorpio thrives on intrigue, making this a time for deep, passionate connections that simmer behind the scenes. Keep things private and let that slow burn work its spell—your relationships will feel more intense, intimate, and undeniably magnetic.
Mystery and jealousy turn up with Venus in Scorpio
Play those cat and mouse games mindfully. Being too esoteric could around jealousy or stir up unnecessary trust issues. The green-eyed monster makes regular appearances while Venus is in Scorpio, which can be especially challenging for those with an anxious attachment style. Leaving something to the imagination can be hot, but riling up jealousy to keep things “interesting” is unadvisable. (Avoidant attachers we’re looking at you!)
Tempted by someone who is technically unavailable? Good sense could fly out the window in the face of a scorching hot attraction. Find ways to get your thrills that don’t require you to compromise your integrity.
One more caution! On the same day Venus moves into Scorpio, the love planet forms a square with domineering Pluto. Power struggles could pervade your love life, so do your best to keep the peace and not get triggered.
Controlling, strong-arming or avoidant behavior will only heap fuel on the fire and deepen divisive dynamics. Get to the root of what’s really driving tension and you’ll be able to enjoy the alluring vibes of the next several weeks.
And if you find yourself obsessing over a love interest do your best to distract yourself—hard as it is to stop your brain from fixating (and your fingers from texting).
