Venus in Scorpio
Venus in Scorpio, in its detriment: love that seeks depth and intensity, loyal and wholehearted.
Meaning
With Taurus across the zodiac, Scorpio places Venus in detriment, inside Mars’s water sign. Pleasure turns into passion, with attachments that ask for complete honesty and reward it with lasting devotion.
Venus is in detriment in Scorpio: the sign’s intensity and need for control work against light, easy affection, so love tends to be all or nothing. You want deep emotional and physical intimacy, and small talk or casual dating may feel empty. Loyalty runs deep, and so can jealousy. You may be drawn to what is hidden or powerful in people. It helps to build trust gradually, and to name possessive feelings instead of acting on them.
