Venus Enters Scorpio Begins A New Cycle In Love
2024 has been testing the romantic and social aspect of our lives
Hello and welcome to the new cycle of Venus in Scorpio.
Venus and Mars are the eternal lovers and patrons of passion and lust. Stability and risk taking. They are two opposites that share the same perspective when it comes to love. Every relationship no matter romantic or platonic has the Mars aspect and the Venus aspect. They walk hand in hand and especially in romantic relationships, one partner often has Martian traits like passion, vigor and in the negative aspects, obsession and vengeance while the other has Venusian traits like seductiveness, going with the flow and holding complex emotional realities together and in the negative manifestations, the Venus partner would exhibit people pleasing, flakiness and passivity.
While Mars is the initiator and action oriented planet here, Venus ultimately holds the cards when it comes to Cupid. It is the soft power and as they say:” you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar”
For the past month or so, Venus has been going through a transformative passage that peaked around September 4th when Venus perfected a conjunction on the south node. This is akin to Venus’ descend to the underworld.
The myth goes that as Venus descended into the underworld, she had to strip away her jewelry and weapons and that is exactly what has been happening to the senses and experiences ruled over by Venus in our lives like social relationships and the balance of our romantic connections. In addition, Venus and Mars have not been seeing eye to eye since they have been each in their world with different challenges.
With Venus’ ingress into Scorpio on September 23rd, we begin a new cycle after the old one has brought on some challenges and revealed certain issues in connections and relationships.
