Sexy and sensual, Venus in Scorpio opposing Jupiter in Taurus (from October 13 to 15) is guaranteed to bring out your indulgent side. However, this fun-loving aspect is not without conflict, as these two planets of pleasure face off, each demanding their due. Jupiter in Taurus has a simple message—relax and enjoy life—while Venus in Scorpio asks that you also meet the deeper needs of your soul.
The resulting astrological tennis match may leave you feeling a little confused as you seek to find a balance between the internal and the external. Love-wise, you could be tempted to do too much, covering all your bases in a quest to fulfill needs inspired by this two-fold planetary pleasure punch.
The effects of Venus opposing Jupiter could manifest in more dates than you can handle, or find you engaging in an all-nighter of fun and frolic that leaves you a tad hung over the next day. Regrets can surface if you throw too much caution to the wind, so exercise at least a little moderation, though you may find temptation hard to resist.
Venus in Scorpio craves intensity and primal merging with another, while Jupiter in Taurus likes to keep things familiar and comfortable. If you can find a way to harmoniously blend these two influences, you may reach new heights in your intimate relationships. This transit demands that you at least attempt to reach Love Nirvana, even if your striving leaves you not much further along than when you started. No matter how you slice it, the impulse to explore, expand and evolve will be strong now, as you seek to commune at a deeper level.
