Venus in Scorpio 2025: Alchemy through Connection

Venus from Libra to Scorpio: Going Beyond Surface-Level Relating

In Astrology, Venus’s transits mark shifts in how we give and receive love, in our values, our aesthetic taste, and the way we attract what we desire. Venus has to do with our relationship to pleasure, abundance, and connection, as well as with our finances and self-worth: this planet teaches us that how we love others gives us important information about how we relate to and love ourselves.

While Venus in her Air home sign of Libra naturally pursues harmony, cooperation, and mutual understanding, Venus in Scorpio invites us to strip away the surface layer of pleasantries and find out the truth that lies beneath. Here, the Goddess of Love is traditionally considered to be in detriment, since Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the God of War, and Venus is naturally at home in the opposite sign of Taurus.

In Scorpio, Venus reminds us that love is not always light and effortless: sometimes it is raw, messy, and painful. While in Libra she was seeking aesthetic beauty, balance, and peace, in Scorpio she craves nothing less than visceral pleasure and emotional truth. This transit is not for the faint of heart: it is for those who are willing to say yes to intimacy even when it is profoundly uncomfortable.

Alchemy through Connection

While Venus is in the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio, we won’t settle for anything less than passionate, profound, and transformative bonds. Ruled by both Mars and Pluto, Scorpio seeks transformation and aims to deepen our awareness of the nature of our desires, our emotions, and our will.

With Venus in this sign, relationships deepen or dissolve: superficial bonds may fall away while authentic ones strengthen. We are reminded of the role of intimacy as both a catalyst for evolution and a mirror that reflects our most profound fears, desires, and wounds.

Venus in Scorpio reminds us that alchemy can occur through connection only when we allow ourselves to be seen in our mess, in our imperfection, in our raw truth beneath our defenses, beyond the polished version of ourselves we present to the world. 

Venus square Pluto, opposite Uranus, and trine Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune

Shortly after entering Scorpio, Venus perfects a square to Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, now in the early degrees of Aquarius. The Venus-Pluto square intensifies both our desire for and our fear of true intimacy. This alignment asks us to get real, go beyond surface-level relating, and allow love to transform and challenge us. It exposes the undercurrents that move beneath our relationships, power dynamics, buried desires, and unconscious resentments, asking us to get radically honest and vulnerable.

On November 26, Venus trines both Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces, forming a Grand Water Trine. This configuration offers us an opportunity to find flow and ease between our desire for commitment and security and our desire for spontaneity, adventure, and play. While the Venus-Jupiter trine expands our generosity and emotional openness, the alignment to Saturn helps us stay grounded, patient, and think for the long term.

On November 29, Venus perfects an opposition with Uranus in Taurus, potentially shaking up our relationships and finances and inspiring us to question our values. The Venus-Uranus opposition will disrupt dynamics that have become stagnant or overly controlled to make space for more truth, freedom, and aliveness. The invitation is to stay open to surprises and unexpected turns of events and trust that they are meant to liberate us from what needs to go.

On November 30, shortly before entering Sagittarius, Venus trines Neptune at 29º of Pisces. The Venus-Neptune trine fuels our fantasy and creative inspiration, bringing beautiful energy into both romantic and artistic pursuits. This alignment invites us to practice discernment in matters of the heart, to love without losing ourselves, and to dream without idealizing or escaping.

Venus in Scorpio 2025: A Love that Transforms

While Venus is in Scorpio, we feel more magnetic, passionate, and emotionally perceptive. This transit is an invitation to pursue the kind of love that transforms us from the inside out and confront our most profound fears and desires when it comes to relationships. It is a reminder that love can flourish only when we stop hiding.

Venus in Scorpio, together with Scorpio season, offers us a powerful opportunity to become aware of the unconscious factors, needs, and fears that impact how we relate with people, with money, with our bodies, and with ourselves. During the upcoming weeks, we have an opportunity to practice staying open even when it feels uncomfortable and keep in mind that only true vulnerability can allow alchemy to occur through connection.
