Striptease Ready: Venus in Scorpio

November 6 - 30, 2025

😈It's playtime! The planet of sweetness, connection, relationships, harmony, beauty, and art, is in Scorpio, the sign of deep analysis, emotional depth, and psychological transformation. Let's set expectations, though: this is not Venus' best sign. In fact, she's in exile. It sounds as bad as it is—but only if you put that spin on it. She’s a benefic, meaning one of two planets that bestows upon us all the good things. It simply means she can't be as supportive as she normally is. 

🖤But you know what she can be? Dark. Shadowy. Passionate. We may struggle to encounter pleasure and delight in the form of sunshine and rainbows, but we’ll certainly find it in the shadows. And if we can embrace that, we can have a decidedly dramatic (read: fun, exploratory) Venus in Scorpio season. 

Think: Garter belts. High heels or combat boots (or a combination thereof). Fishnet stockings under ripped jeans. Spurs. Little black dresses. Dress up. Role play. Exploration. Seduction. And maybe the kind of loyalty that goes beyond what you've ever dreamed of. (Obsession, much?)

🫦Think: soulmates and intensity. Decay and passionate turmoil. Glamour and decadence and all that's primordial.

👠Scorpio allows Venus to embrace her oft-overlooked sexiness and seduction. Remember: to be erotic is to be alive. Guilt, shame, and embarrassment are not welcome here. But desire and cravings are. They need not apply only to intimacy, romance, or sexual fulfillment, but also to fascinations, longing, and obsessions. Witchery and the underworld.🧿

⛓️Think: trails of rose petals, and fun with sharp claws, whips, and chains (with consent, of course). Be sure to stand in your power regardless, and don't let that concurrent Mercury in Retrograde trip up your good time. 

🧲Relationship dynamics will be transformative and emotions are worth savoring. If you have Venus in Scorpio, this is your Venus return.

❤️‍🔥You might be tempted to ruminate on whether you’re lovable and other self-critical questions. The better consideration might be: How are you showing up in relationships and how do you want to show up?

🗝️When Venus squares Pluto on the 7th and sextiles him on December 2, it’s this vibe personified. We’re in the thick of it pondering our deepest intimacy issues. But the other aspects she makes: a conjunction with Mercury (11.24), a grand water trine to Jupiter retrograde and Saturn retrograde (11.26), and a trine to Neptune retrograde (11.30). Those are all LOVE-ly. Truly. 💐
