Venus enters Scorpio on October 8th. Relationships, values and finances will go through a period of intense transformation/ renewal or endings. Scorpio intensifies all Venus matters so you may find yourself wanting something or someone specific. The purpose of the intensity is to take you to your limits so you can learn the truth about what you really love and value, and what no longer has any life In it.

This is a transit of inner learning. Beyond the smouldering attractions that are usually described, understand that what you’re drawn to, or who you magnetize, is meant teach you about yourself. You learn about what you really want and how far you’re willing to go regarding a commitment or obsession.

Venus in Scorpio is the all- or- nothing transit: you either want it/ them completely or you could care less. What’s dark, taboo or uncomfortable is beautiful. Absolute intimacy and merging with another is attractive.

You can use this energy for some deep investigation into your self -worth. How are your limits? Are you compelled to give all to the wrong person? Are you ready to commit all to the right person? How much is your work/ happiness really worth?

This transit can also enable the discovery of previously hidden resources (material and internal). It’s about digging deep enough to excavate what you didn’t realize you had. 

Venus will enter Sagittarius on November 1st.

Here are the aspects Venus will make (note that there is a Venus/ Mercury conjunction on October 30th at 27°):

  • Mars in Libra opposite Chiron RX in Aries (3°)

Mars in Libra is about balanced actions, but when it opposes the Wounded Healer balance will be very difficult. It may seem like the more you try to compromise or do what’s socially acceptable, the more you rub someone the wrong way. Too, you may find yourself reacting to someone else’s wounds. 

This can be especially difficult with passive aggressive expressions of anger. If the anger is not fully owned, it will be projected onto someone and they’ll get hurt. 

Accept that there’s going to be painful moments today and pay attention to the sore spots that are revealed. Even if the revelation is indirect, this is an excellent time to be aware of a vulnerability that needs to be addressed. If you’re afraid to act because you don’t want to hurt someone or stand out/be uncomfortable, know that you probably won’t be able to avoid this. Move cautiously, but don’t just sit there. Remember that Mars rules Aries, and Chiron in Aries is about taking action, even if it hurts.
