Venus · Fixed water sign

Venus in Scorpio

Venus in Scorpio is where Venus sat in the zodiac at the moment of birth, the part of a chart read for how you love and what you find beautiful. Venus stays in a sign for three to five weeks, up to four months around a retrograde. Scorpio is a fixed water sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 577 have Venus in Scorpio for the whole of their birth date. Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton and Naguib Mahfouz are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Libra (175), Sagittarius (151) and Scorpio (139). 43 more were born on a day Venus moved into or out of Scorpio and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Venus in Scorpio means

Read for how you love and what you find beautiful. If this is your placement:

You love intensely and privately, and you value depth and total honesty over ease. You may test loyalty in ways that create the very distance you are afraid of. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how you commit, with little interest in anything in between.

One placement is one part of a chart; the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign and the planets around them change how it plays out. Draw your whole chart to see the rest.

Positions are computed from each person’s birth date and place with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth data comes from Wikidata; a placement is listed only when it holds for the whole birth date, and a rising sign only with a birth time Astro-Databank records. Readings describe tendencies, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Every planet in every sign.
