When love planet Venus slips into seductive Scorpio for a month, there’s no telling what might transpire! Here’s your Venus in Scorpio horoscope for this sexy four-week transit, December 4-29, 2023.

Venus shimmies into Scorpio on Monday, December 4, adding another dollop of sexy vibes to the last month of the year. Just talking about your turn-ons could get motors revving.

But privacy, please! What happens behind closed doors during a Venus in Scorpio transit is the juiciest of all.

Venus in Scorpio’s double-edged sword: Secrecy and mystery are hot!

A transformative and intimate holiday season awaits with Venus in Scorpio. This transit turns up the mystery, but too much secrecy could devolve into jealousy or stir up unnecessary trust issues.

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 kicks that don’t require you to break any binding relationship rules.

One more warning! The green-eyed monster makes regular appearances during this cycle, especially for those with an anxious attachment style. Leaving something to the imagination can be hot, but riling up jealousy? Don’t even THINK about going there. (Avoidant attachers we’re looking at you!)

Dive deep into emotional exploration to move past any blocks

Feeling stuck? This transit is supreme for going deep with a partner. Try some emotional exploration to move past any blocks. If you’re willing to talk through bottled-up feelings and resentments, Venus in Scorpio opens the floodgates (seductive and otherwise).

Find ways to get in touch with your emotion (and eroticism), too, think: dance, sensual movement or good old-fashioned bedroom gymnastics. Remember, no turn-on is taboo if you’re both into it while Venus is in Scorpio!

Read more Gemini horoscopes.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Venus in Scorpio horoscope

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) Venus in Scorpio horoscope

Is it time to let go with love? Venus, planet of harmony, is in Scorpio December 4-29, lending its gracious touch to your twelfth house of closure, healing and forgiveness. Holding onto a grudge or past hurt is only imprisoning you, Sagittarius. As the saying goes, resentment is like drinking the poison and hoping the other person dies. Perhaps you’re grasping an unrequited torch, and realize it’s time to gently snuff it out, rather than hanging onto that last shred of hope.

Since the twelfth house rules illusions, some buried issues or resentments could surface in your personal life. Be mindful not to play the victim—everyone had a role in this situation. You’ll feel most empowered if you take responsibility for your part of the dynamic. Read more Sagittarius horoscopes.

The more, the merrier! Harmonizer Venus sashays into Scorpio, your eleventh house of group activity, December 4-29. You glow in the company of good friends, and you’re more open than usual to meeting new people, rather than sticking to your same-old circle. Feeling jealous or competitive with a nemesis in your industry? Don’t hate; collaborate. Find a way to bring your skills together for a mutual win-win. Or, team up with a group of avant-garde thinkers, and you’ll create your own movement. There’s plenty of room for everyone to shine. Read more Capricorn horoscopes.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Venus in Scorpio horoscope

You could score a promotion, or find yourself mingling with the top brass, perhaps via exclusive invitation. Don’t snub an industry event or an awards banquet—you never know who might be sitting next to you at that $500-a-plate dinner. That connection could be worth far more than the prime rib entree, Aquarius. If you’re already in a powerful position, express gratitude to the people who make it all possible, or to help someone rise through the ranks. Read more Aquarius horoscopes.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) Venus in Scorpio horoscope
