Venus in Scorpio / Scorpio in Love

"Scorpios either love you to death or you’re dead to them"

When your Venus is in Scorpio, this planet is in it's exile.
This means that the planet's power struggles to express itself freely here.

A person with a certain planet in exile will be challenged in the field of said planets' theme.
In this case, Venus in exile, the challenge is the expression of love and affection.

Since Scorpio's main drive is emotional security and they're so obsessed with power, they don't open up and show affection easily.
They believe this makes them vulnerable and gives other people power over them.
They don't open up about themselves but they do want to know everything about you by trying to get into your subconscious.
This is how they want to make sure they have more power over you than you have over them in order not to get hurt or used.


This makes Venus in Scorpio people the ones who are most picky with their partners and don't fall in love easily.
Venus in Scorpio people often fall in love with someone they can't have and then won't ever get over them - someone who is taken or completely out of their league.
Sadly, this over-cautiousness in love could also make them appear cold or unloving.
A common mosconception is that Venus in Scorpio people are obsessed with sex as in they have it all the time with everyone. It's rather they take sex very seriously and to them its a deep conncetion that goes beyond the pysical.

The sign of extremes feels like it's either overwhelming, eternal love or nothing.
They're not the ones who will confess their love first, because they hate being in the position of the one who loves more - this makes them vulnerable and they fear the other person using this situation for their benefit.
That's why Scorpios are extremly cautious with expressing love. They don't want to hand the key to their heart to another person because they want to have control over it themselves.




Deep inside, this does give the Venus is Scorpio an odd satisfaction though - if they can never have that person, they can never lose them either.
They may not admit it, but they do enjoy this situation of obsessing over someone they will never actually be with. This is cruel but also strangely and tragically beautiful.

In reality, no venus sign owns more love than another venus sign, they just express it differently.
And as I've said before, it's most difficult and most challeging in the sign of Scorpio.

They probably think about it more than they have it and theyre the ones most likely to wait until marriage because sex is a big sacred thing to them.

As you may know, the ancient greeks used to watch the sky with the stars and planets and make up gods and stories and it was pretty much a daily soap opera for them.

This was the origin of astrology and that is where the archetypes come from.

Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, whose greek equivalent is Hades, the god of the underworld.

The story of how Hades fell in love therefore is a perfect example of Venus in Scorpio people!

As I've said before, this constellation stands for "Love in Exile".

And the story of Hades and Persephone matches this theme perfectly, since he kidnapped her to keep her in the underworld!

But read the whole story:

Hades and Persephone

One day Hades, God of the Underworld, saw Persephone and instantly fell in love with her.
Hades confided his secret in his brother Zeus, asking for help, so the two of them concocted a plan to trap her. As the girl (Persephone) played with her companions, they caused the ground to split underneath her.
Persephone slipped beneath the Earth and Hades stole her to the Underworld where he made her his wife.
Persephone’s mother, Demeter, begged her brother Hades to allow Persephone to come back to the livings, denoting that the young Persephone was not supposed to live in the underworld. Hades consulted with Zeus and they both decided to allow Persephone to live on earth for six months each year, while the rest of the time she would be on his side in the Underworld.
Before leaving the underworld, Persephone had been persuaded to eat four seeds of a pomegranate. In ancient mythology, to eat the fruit of one’s captor meant that one would have to return to that captor or country, so Persephone was doomed to return to the underworld for four months of the year. But she was allowed to spend the remaining two-thirds of the year with her Earth Mother, Demeter.
The myth of Hades and Persephone is associated with the coming of Spring and Winter: When Persephone comes to the Earth, it's springtime. When she descends to Hades, it is winter.
