The pleasures and pains of love are about to get a lot more intense. Venus, the planet of love and relating, enters enigmatic Scorpio on Sept. 10, bringing with it a dramatic change in the way we relate to others.
Socially speaking, we find more meaning in intimate moments during Venus in Scorpio, and we take romance and relationships very seriously. It’s all about passion and private time. Deep emotional exchanges and one-on-one conversations (along with secret, late-night make-out 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. During Venus in Scorpio, there must always be a purpose to the pleasure we seek, otherwise we see no point in it.
Jealousy, envy and possessiveness are unfortunate by products of Venus in Scorpio, but as long as you’re aware, these behaviors shouldn’t cause too much damage.
Of course, how and where 2021 Venus in Scorpio will affect you depends on your zodiac sign. So, without further ado:
