The Velvet Lake: Venus ingress into Scorpio.

On November 6th 2025, Venus crosses the threshold into Scorpio, where she will remain until November 30th. Here, she moves through the deep waters ruled by Pluto and Mars, her eternal lover, Scorpio is Mars in his feminine emotional watery form. This is Venus's descent from air, her home in Libra, to water, from grace to gravity, from surface beauty into sacred mystery. The Full Moon in Taurus, her own earthy home, rose just the night before, illuminating what is tangible and tender, and now she slips beneath that light into the unseen, where intimacy begins to take shape in shadow.

Venus in Scorpio is the black swan of the zodiac, elegant and elusive, her beauty laced with power. She is the whisper that draws you inward, the quiet magnetism that transforms longing into devotion. This archetype knows that love is not always soft, that true connection often asks for surrender. She loves like the tide loves the moon, with rhythm, with ache, with inevitability. In Scorpio, Venus does not simply attract, she unveils. Every encounter becomes a mirror of depth, every emotion a portal to truth.

Venus rises where desire meets surrender. In the dark water’s mirror of Scorpio, love learns its shadow.

The day after Venus slips into Scorpio’s depths, on November 7th, she forms a square with Pluto in Aquarius, a tension that will hum beneath the surface until around November 10th. This meeting between Venus, goddess of love and peace, and Pluto, god of death and rebirth, stirs the undercurrents of transformation within the heart. In myth, their dance is both magnetic and unsettling, a reminder that creation and destruction are often born of the same flame. Venus in Scorpio already understands the language of depth, yet when she meets Pluto, the Lord of Scorpio in modern times, the energy intensifies. Here love is not gentle, it is regenerative. It asks what must die for truth to live, what must be released for beauty to breathe again. This square does not seek harmony on the surface, but rather integrity beneath it. It reveals where desire holds power, and where power has disguised itself as love.

In this passage, Venus joins the Sun already moving through Scorpio’s depths. Together they form

a union of heart and will, desire and vitality. Their meeting reveals where passion meets purpose, where love becomes alchemy. It is a time when relationships, both inner and outer, may ask for renewal, not through control, but through honesty. Scorpio’s waters are transformative, stripping away pretense until only essence remains.

And as Venus enters these dark waters, Uranus retrograde hovers at the edge of Taurus, ready

to return there on November 7th for one last upheaval until April 2026. The timing is no accident.

The same day Venus begins her descent, the ground itself begins to tremble again beneath her former domain. It is as if the cosmos reminds us that love and change are always intertwined,

that what we cling to must shift so that something truer can take its place.

Venus in Scorpio teaches the art of sacred intensity. She invites us to love with eyes open, to

listen for what is felt but not said, to understand that beauty deepens in the dark. This is the

realm of passion that purifies, of intimacy that transforms. Like a dancer wrapped in silk and shadow, she moves slowly, deliberately, every gesture a spell.

May this passage of Venus remind you that mystery and love are not separate. That to

surrender is not to lose, but to merge with what has always been waiting beneath the surface.

Much love to all, Valentina.
