Your Forecast for Venus in Scorpio September 23rd 2024

Let The Scorpio Magic Begin

No Fear Venus in Scorpio doesn’t recognise forbidden territory. Venus in Scorpio goes there. It understands that in the darkness transformation begins. That in our fear lies our power. And in all those parts of ourselves we have labelled ‘unacceptable’, ‘unlovable’ or hidden away, can be found our truth.

Now, all of this is deep stuff. It’s not for the faint-hearted. Or superficial. And Scorpio is the sign that doesn’t do superficial. It knows that real gold requires us to dig deep and excavate. It tests our fortitude. And demands we give something in return. Usually, surrender.

So, Venus in Scorpio reminds us that the power and truth of our journeys here aren’t in the outer story we see or tell people. It’s in the backstory. The one we don’t tell. And yes, we all have one. Simply by being here. No matter how successful, famous, loved or blessed someone may appear to be, no matter how many millions of followers or money they have, they have one too. It’s the journey from pain to power. And depending on who we are, we will all be at different stages of it.

Venus in Scorpio invites us all to tell ours. And listen to the stories of others. Someone often has to make that brave and unilateral decision to go first. Bare their soul. To demonstrate they are willing to run from the safety of the superficial surface story and go deeper into the woods. At this point we discover if others are up for the same journey. Or not able to follow. Venus in Scorpio wants passion, wrapped in dark delight and above all – to initiate transformative acts of love. Are you ready to be that No Fear lover? Engage with the dark.

ARIES

Wounds around not having enough, not being good enough and this Venus will expose barriers between you and intimacy. If you can’t talk about what has happened to you or what’s pushing those buttons, you won’t be able to form the connection you seek. It’s honestly that simple.

Then there’s the other inner fear monster in that vault. Fears around money. This is your house of sex but researchers have found we have less inhibitions around talking about what goes on in the bedroom than we do what’s happening with our incomes. We make judgements based on this. We have guilty financial secrets we hide not just from the outside world, but from family and partners. We feel if they knew, they’d think less of us. We may believe our money sets our worth.

We may also stop ourselves from experiencing financial security or increasing our income because deep down, we believe we will lose the money or waste it if we have it. The thought of it scares us. Or, because struggle is all we have ever known, we set ourselves up to lose that well-paying job so we can return to our previous ‘comfort’ level of making ends meet rather than enjoying our new level of wealth.

The scenarios are varied, but if any of the above is triggering for you, you can now work to your benefit. Because make no mistake. This Venus wants something richer for you. It awakens your Take No Prisoners sass when going after what you want. Also, the same approach sees you air out the truth about your money fears.

The more you focus on an area you know you need to face down and be honest about, the more empowered you will feel, Aries. And guess what? That’s sexy. You’ll work that, too. This Venus can often open the vault for you in order for you to access or gain more. It can also reverse a sex drought, taking you from Sahara to sensuality. Either way – expect a richer experience.

TAURUS

An extra-long cycle of attraction is up for grabs with Venus in your 7^th – a month before the Sun lands in here. Hence, two months of you being able to see just what your focus can manifest. If you are happy and settled, your ruler strengthens those intimacy ties.

Venus in your 7^th sets the tone and the temperature for the future. Do keep this in mind. If you are seeking any partnership – not just the romantic variety but working, business, collaborations or even a long term friendship, then the person Venus delivers while in here can make you feel part of the ultimate double act right from the get-go! You ease into the ride or die dynamic effortlessly. They get you. You get them. They probably want to do the same stuff you do. Or you know what the other is thinking. Stand by for that secret language, in-jokes only the two of you understand or pre-empting one another’s thoughts.

On the other hand – sadly Venus in here exposes what’s lacking if it exists. You will of course in your usual Taurus way, do whatever you can to repair it. But if nothing can be done, this could be the time where you sadly resign yourself to letting it go. But this is also Venus opening the way to something new. For both of you.

Others could benefit from a partner’s generosity or work win. What’s more, they are acknowledging the part you played in this which makes you feel extra special. Do steer clear under this Venus of getting embroiled in any situation that’s ‘complicated’ or fits the eternal triangle dynamic. And keep in mind if you are hearing someone’s sob story, this is just one perspective. The other party may have a very different tale to tell. Don’t let it become yours.

GEMINI

What’s on your down-low, Gemini? That thing you may be working so diligently on that you may be keeping in your genius level backroom for now? You have been building a relationship to it although it may not be with an actual person (although it could be and more on this momentarily). This is something to which you have pledged love and devotion. An idea, project, plan. A routine or system. A fitness or self-care regimen. A course of study. Venus in your 6^th brings it to a beautiful conclusion or finally sees you unveil the results. Going the distance, keeping the energy close and clean and above all, that focus, rewards in big ways.

Yes, this is your house of work. It rules your boss, manager, co-workers, and staff if you employ them – including your cleaner if you have one. It rules the self-employed. Those whose employment isn’t paid but is volunteering or in the home. The job you do and those who do jobs for you and with you. Venus in your 6^th can put one of these front and centre. Or bring you a new one if you are seeking work or that key team member.

This is about loving what you do. And all the details that go into doing it. It’s the small acts you perform every day. Or those behind the scenes moves you’ve been making which are now on show for all to see. Venus in here can have you redesign your day to spark joy. It tells you that this doesn’t have to be drudgery. It hands you inspiration and creativity to add spark to the mundane.

If you are working with anyone now – you can form a healthy and mutually supportive way of working. Share your ideas. Above all – be flexible in how you approach things individually. Look to the result and not the process. There’s no need to micromanage. Above all, health should be your first priority. That work/life balance, the mind/body/spirit connected. Go seek out ways to feel better about yourself. And which raise your energy. Above all, go on a diet from negativity. Around how things should be done to that atmosphere that is affecting you. If that’s also been worrying you on the down-low, Venus hands you the tools to create a new way of living – and working.

CANCER

The secret paradox of our desires is that the thing we want the most can also be what we fear the most. And we may not even know it. And because we are unaware of it – when we get what we want we sabotage it.

Venus in your 5^th heralds the beginning of one of the most potent and powerful attraction cycles of the year for you. But this will also lead to you uncovering what stands between you and what you want. And what this is may surprise you.

Take some time as this cycle begins – and it will be extra long for you due to Venus arriving a month before the Sun, to look back at times where what you wanted came within reach. What happened back then? Now maybe you manifested it – and all went well. In fact, you are still living that dream (or with the dream as this is your house of romance and lovers!). You got your rom-com ending. And were ready for it when it appeared.

However, if there is a pattern of it appearing and then you lost it after all, do stop before setting new intentions and explore just why this kept happening. What were your emotions? Your beliefs? How did having it – or even the prospect of having it, make you feel? And here’s a self-love confronting exercise for you if you are now recalling times when you had it and lost it – were you able to embrace it as your whole-hearted self, or did you merely serve a ‘version’ of you due to feeling that the real you didn’t deserve it? Or would be rejected if you did? If your answer to that is an honest ‘Yes’, Venus is about to change all that.

The act of seeing the pattern, frees us from it. Serve you – unfiltered, unapologetic and open. Say ‘Even if this scares me, feels unfamiliar or I have blocked it in the past – I now accept it’. Creativity, babies, children, gifts, attention, play, pleasure and yes, love will enter at this invitation. Time to lovingly get out of its way, Cancer.

LEO

Ding dong! Just who is that knocking on your door or ringing the bell? Something or even someone is asking to enter. This could even be a new cycle of living. Ready to roll out the welcome mat, Leo?

This could be for a new abode. Want one? Go buy something for it. It will act as a magnet. Expect beneficial comings and goings. Anyone from family members to that new roomie or Airbnb guest. There’s changing rooms and grand designs happening with this Venus. Living beautifully is its goal in here. Quality of life and stability is its focus.

This Venus favours long term planning. And each decision you make is like Lego set if you like. It locks onto the previous one and then the next one clicks on to that until you have assembled something permanent and lasting. Any moves you make will be undertaken with this in mind. Whether this is taking that better paying job so you can afford a better home. To moving because it puts you in the catchment area of a better school. You’re strongly rooted in an awareness of your present needs – but also what you need to be moving towards to ensure a brighter future.

Lock and key metaphors will surround you or appear. Please keep a look out for them. If you spot them, these are signs that you are heading towards something meant for you. Redecorating, renovations, interior design and tradespeople may feature as well. All are set to enhance or improve where you life. You will see you space or home as an extension of who you are. And also a statement as to those future hopes and dreams. Invest whatever you are able to in this vision, Leo. And do be prepared to let in love and opportunity when it knocks.

VIRGO

Your love language or simply infusing anything you say, share or send out with that added emotional resonance, is enhanced by Venus in your 3^rd. Ideas spring to life watered by creativity and beauty. You are also adept at adapting your message to align with the wavelength of who you want to reach. This touches minds and above all, hearts.

There’s an eloquence about you. And this can even extend into visual messaging too. But anything to do with writing, speaking, teaching, design, photography, publishing, film, studies and yes, those applications, is injected with something close to luminance by you now. So, get those applications and submissions happening. In meetings – that smooth talking persona is more than just a surface image you project. You’ve gone deeper, know your stuff. This is a wonderful Venus transit for creating any type of message that has the ability to resonate on a soul level.

Of course, you can use this to your advantage in any relationship. Truth, beauty, and clear emotional intent enable you to tackle even the most touchy subject. You may be surprised at how easily the right words come to you. Venus decorates that olive branch with exactly the right words if there has been any misunderstanding between you and anyone.

If you are settled, you will crave depth of communication and quality time right now. This is also the house of your online life so expect what you share to sparkle with likes and followers. As for sweet words of love – flirtation is now elevated to an art form. You want the romance, the poetry, the allure and the promise. Get ready for what you say to bring you the answers, opportunities and rewards you are after. Just take it – you’re well received and understood with this Venus.

LIBRA

Venus rules your 2^nd. And once in there hands you the power tools to generate ultimate abundance. Of course, check your level of reciprocity first. There’s no use in making it if you’re not ready to receive it when it appears. How do we do a self-test to measure this? By looking at the state of our self-worth, naturally!

This sets our level of acceptance. Its all about what we feel we deserve. Venus can also be in deep repair mode in here if you discover that somewhere along the line you’ve been made to feel you’re not worthy. Think about it for one moment – money does not discriminate between those who deserve it and those who don’t. And if generating more of that is your intention now, then you can work the ‘Why not me?’ question two ways. As in – why am I left out? Or instead go for the second and empowered acceptance infection on it ‘Why not me!?’. To discover there is no reason why not you at all.

Same goes for love, Libra. Is that the kind of rich you want in your life now? Don’t forget – your yearly attraction peak is still happening as the Sun is in your 1^st. Your 2nd rule is assets, and this includes relationships that are major assets in your life. If you have come to believe that the love you want is something that happens to others, but not you – again, change the spin. Why not you? The more you ask this the proper way, the more you’ll see there are no reasons why you shouldn’t have that rich feeling in life and in love. Get ready to receive as you ask the key question the right way.

SCORPIO

Mirror, mirror on the wall – who is the fairest sign of all? Perfect that vision. Cut and polish it like a precious diamond. When the facets and details are perfect – let it go. And above all, don’t doubt that you can bring this into reality especially if your vision involves you.

Venus is in your sign a month before the Sun reaches it, and it makes you feel renewed. And that your new cycle has already started. (It has!). A little or a lot of self-obsession with your face, your ‘do’, make-up, style, appearance, dress code or personal brand is not only permitted – but expected. Be it to attract it in. Hence, becoming the vision that is aligned to whatever it is you now wish to attract.

This is one of your main attraction cycles of the year. The other two are when planets are in your 5^th and 7^th. And yes, it is extra long thanks to Venus’ arriving in your sign a month before the Sun.

This Venus can bring you something who embodies the saying ‘Opposites attract’. The other clue to what this Venus may have in store for you is in its glyph. Look at it now if you can’t remember exactly what it looks like. It looks like a hand mirror. Yes, Venus is associated with glamour and in extreme cases – vanity. But Venus in your 1^st can also bring in someone who acts as the Venusian mirror. Reflecting back at you how they or the world sees you. This can be a revelation, a validation as well as a reflection of how the world sees you.

Of course, in the digital age we all have that mirror. Facebook being the obvious one. But so many more. So, this isn’t self-indulgence, Scorpio. It’s a brand rebirth. One you’ll quickly receive feedback on from others. As the sign who isn’t superficial, it can be hard to be judged solely on outward appearances. But hey – create your best cover story. Those who really want to get to know you will make an effort to read the entire book.

SAGITTARIUS

Expect to spend some time reflecting on your past now, Sag. Past loves. Past lives even. A Sagittarian I know even underwent a past life regression under Venus in their 12^th. No, you don’t live there any more. But a revisit can often see us reshape our future with the souvenirs that we gather.

This Venus can bring in issues around confiding and confidentiality. Do keep anything anyone tells you in confidence in the vault. But at the same time – please don’t be drawn into any situation where you would be ashamed, embarrassed or simply wouldn’t want your mum or those closest to you to read about in the news! Secrets can have a habit of escaping the closet if they fall under indiscretion. And if you need to confide something – ensure that person respects your need to keep things hush-hush. If in any doubt at all – opt for a professional who is bound by a code of ethics.

Working behind the scenes may also feature. As could being asked to sign an NDA. Or you simply don’t feel the need to share what you’re doing with anyone right now. Including spending time alone. You will also now know the difference between being lonely and choosing solitude. Your philosophy is – if you aren’t happy in your own company then how are others expected to feel happy around you?

Once Venus enters your 1^st, you will emerge into what is going to be the biggest attraction and love cycle of the year. So, see taking any time out as readying yourself for this.

And to return to the past one final time: Is there something unfinished? Or do you now have something to say to someone from your past that is now very different to what you would have said back then? Venus in your 12^th wants to free you of regrets, Sag.

If it does no harm and you can reach out, then provided you do this with no expectation of revival of ‘The Way We Were’ – then do it. But you must be 100% honest and this must come from a different place in your soul. Time changes perspective. If it is not appropriate or safe, or you have lost contact – then do write a letter. Imagine reading it out to them. Then spend some time meditating on their response. Once you have it – case closed. You’ll feel the lightness spread. And also, any energetic bonds between you are finally released. Venus disentangles you now. Ahead – love without trip wires or past regrets.

CAPRICORN

While your 11^th isn’t a house of attraction like your 1^st, 5^th or 7^th – it is your house of wish fulfilment. Where goals are set and also attained. Usually via interactions with others. It is your house where your future is formed. And who you know are your co-creators of this. Just as you play a pivotal role in how theirs unfolds.

An existing friendship can deeper. Or an important new one that is beneficial to both parties can emerge. Just a word of caution – Venus in this house is all about the love of friends. Not the romantic kind even if a relationship is one of your goals. For love to be part of the package you need other planets in your houses of relating and attraction. Yes, you do have Uranus in your 5^th. But Uranus rules your 11^th. So, a sudden attraction or flirtation may turn into a friendship but not go the distance romance-wise. And if someone is giving you mixed signals you are unable to decode or which keep you guessing – your best tactic is to walk away.

The same goes for any competitive friendships. The old frenemy dynamic. Venus can highlight so called friends who love the subtle put down. Who can never let you have your moment but always have to divert the attention back to them. Whatever you’ve been doing – they have done it better. The conversation always comes back to them. Venus will ask you if you have had enough. Being diplomatic, this Venus will simply see you migrate elsewhere. Don’t worry – that ‘friend’ is so self-obsessed they probably won’t notice you’ve gone. And even if they do – they already have another captive audience lined up. So, ditch the guilt.

Venus adds the creative zest to goal setting now. If you love it – you will 100% commit to it. This may also see you realising your heart is no longer invested in things you once wanted. And that’s just past of the process. As we evolve, so does what we want for ourselves. There’s a gentle release this Venus cycle of people and processes you have outgrown. See this as making room for that band of like minded souls whose vision aligns with yours. And discovering what the future holds together.

AQUARIUS

Are you ready for your close-up, Aquarius? This moment – when the spotlight of attention is trained your way, will also ask you for a commitment at the same time. Are you ready to stop being an understudy and take the lead? Because if you are, rewards and recognition are on offer.

You and someone else can commit together for the long haul. Or even at this point call it quits. Either is a commitment. This is Are you in or are you out? – to quote Robert Carlyle in The Full Monty. There is no toe in the water to test the temperature. This Venus is all about showing up. And yes, the prize, the ring, the position.

That yes could be to a working relationship that in a strange way, feels like a marriage. It can embody the 21^st Century idea of the ‘work spouse’ as separate from an actual one. Because this is your house of status – as in relationship status – again, this is all about putting the ring on it, taking it to the next stage. Or calling it a day if you have discovered both of you want different things.

Dating? You are not in the mood for time wasters. You need to know right from the start what the other party wants. And are upfront about tabling your own requirements. Above all, this Venus needs to be taken seriously. And what it wants as well as that commitment is respect.

Venus loves a touch of drama. As in the camera-ready, showbusiness, glamour kind. Not the diva variety. Ensure you present your best possible self as you are set to capture someone’s attention. However – this Venus can expose Queen Bee mentality in the workplace. The most extreme version of this being the Meryl Streep character in The Devil Wears Prada. If you are dealing with one, use this Venus to update that CV and commit to finding something with opportunity to move – up. The same goes for that partner who puts you in a position where you feel you need to compete with others for their love and attention. Honestly, you are a stand alone prospect and an outstanding candidate. Be this for a heart or a position. Anyone who doesn’t get this needs to hear your words sooner or later: You’re fired.

PISCES

Get ready to meet a fellow soul traveller. Or someone who represents a ticket to ride. They may breeze in – larger than life, spontaneous, fresh off the flying saucer, and open your eyes to fresh possibilities and new horizons.

You can meet them close to home, sitting in that airport lounge, on a little backstreet in Marrakesh, or even in your local library. They may just be passing through, repairing their warp drive, or you may suddenly head in the same direction for a while. It doesn’t matter how long the encounter – a conversation, a coffee, a day, a vacation or in some cases a lifelong journey – they are here to enable you to make a discovery or find an opportunity you may not have known about.

Yes, travel may feature. As could studies, religion, the law, sports and what makes you feel free. This Venus wants you to have a bigger love experience. This may not be for a person – although it can be. But it can be for anything that sets your heart free. That job which allows you to bring all you have to offer to the table – and also rewards you materially. That place on the map where you feel totally uninhibited and free to be you. That activity which stretches your soul and sends it rocketing towards the stars.

You don’t have to waste time asking tough questions about whether or not you are making the world a better place by pursuing or doing this. Leave those on the back burner for now. You’ll have plenty of time to wrestle with them with Pluto in your 12^th. Your mission – should you accept it- is to know that the world needs people like you who are unafraid to go after whatever makes them feel free and alive. No other contribution needed. Watch for who points the way.
