What are the effects of Venus retrograde in Scorpio?

We might change our social attitude as we reevaluate our relationship with the people we love. We have to consider the position of Venus in our birth chart and the House which hosts Scorpio to know what to expect during these weeks of confusion. Taurus and Libra are the 2 signs ruled by Venus, therefore more concerned than the other Zodiacal signs.

Possessions, money earned, beauty and partnerships will be tested surely. Don’t fool yourself even if you are in the middle of a “hot and exciting” affair! Scorpios are on edge if their needs aren’t fulfilled and their desires, unsatisfied. Physical sex will be experienced more intensely but there will be a need for something more. Total merging seems necessary in order to convince them. Trust is the central issue, making it difficult for them to feel loved and secure.

Doubts, fears, jealousy, control, death are all linked to Venus transiting Scorpio, as this sign is ruled by Pluto, the planet of death and the Underworld. Nothing will be taken lightly, everything will be investigated, scrutinized and thought deeply before leaping ahead. It would be wise to postpone any important decisions concerning partnerships and money matters. Confusion and missing clues will force us to calm down and wait before acting.

Nevertheless, for happy couples, it will be a time of new attraction and excitement, so enjoy and make the most of this sexy and passionate period. If your finances are in control and you avoid taking any risk in this sector, you might even receive some unexpected money back. Even a challenging period can bring good stuff!
