Venus in Scorpio is a film noir Venus – dark, nefarious, and saddled with a mysterious past. It's important to remember that Venus rules over the power of attraction in astrology; it describes the kind of energy that you draw into your life. Subsequently, Venus here means that you will be attracting people who are going through some kind of crisis, are on the run from something they can't face, or are under the thumb of some kind of malevolent figure. There's a fated quality to these kinds of encounters. If you're already in a relationship, then this is the time when confessions are made, secrets are divulged, or hidden matters come to the surface. Thankfully, Venus in this Pluto-ruled sign means you will be willing and able to make the descent down into the Underworld alongside your loved one. The experience will be cathartic and transformative. It will also be the sort of thing you won't want to repeat anytime soon. Venus will be in Scorpio from September 22nd – October 17th.
