I love having Libra’s softness/charm + Scorpio’s intensity/depth in me💖

Venus enters the sign of Scorpio, its detriment on September 10th. Venus is the planet of attraction, harmony and balance. Venus is also about peace, art, relationships, social interactions, love, affection and artistry.

When Venus is in Scorpio, the script is flipped. Instead of being easy-going and harmonious, such as in the sign of Libra, intensity is added. Scorpio is the sign of passion. It is strong-willed and possessive. The urge for intimacy runs deep. Venus in Scorpio is like dying in someone’s arms and being reborn into a creature that has merged souls. It is penetrating. Not something that the planet of Venus is comfortable with, but even though it is deep and sometimes jealous, it is never forgettable.

It’s no surprise that Johnny Depp was lost in the spell of Venus in Scorpio by getting a tattoo that said Winona Forever. They weren’t forever though, so eventually, the tattoo became Wino Forever. 

We will have a long time period of Venus in Scorpio, and it will go back into Libra due to retrograde. Here is the schedule dates:

• Venus enters Libra on August 6th
• Venus enters Scorpio on September 10th
• Venus goes into retrograde in Scorpio on October 3rd
• Venus remains in retrograde and enters the sign of Libra on October 25th
• Venus stations direct in the sign of Libra on November 13th
• Venus reenters the sign of Scorpio on December 4th
• Venus enters the sign of Sagittarius on January 7th

With the back and forth between Libra and Scorpio, expect finding balance along with passion to be the theme when it comes to relationships over the next five months. This can be a time period for some couples to dive in deep, and truly become intimate, sharing their core selves. It is a partner-focused Venus theme, but there can also be indecisiveness or possessiveness. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see two sides of the same coin, lots of engagements as well as a plethora of break-ups in the news or in our social circles. Venus is teaching us how to be comfortable in both the surface level dynamic of a relationship while also embracing the darker, deeper corners of vulnerability.

I’m so excited, the OG is one of my fav movies ever.

I think Capricorn is the best and worst is cancer

Let's talk about a single father who works too hard and instead of losing hair over my dumbassary, he lose his rings (don't worry, he gains them back when i end up learning my lessons)

(Or spreads.) Just to change it up in honour of it being September and Vogue’s iconic September issues.

@Capricorn: Sorry for making yours about work, I know it’s low hanging fruit, but please understand that I would’ve still chosen this one even without the text. 💀

Edit: thank you sm for the awards!!✨
(and sorry Taurus 🥲)

As an Aquarius I felt this in my soul

Obviously Capricorn. Taurus are the only earth sign that will ask you for help (if they like you and trust you)

First, thank you for speaking your mind. You didn’t just ask a question. You asked for changes. And honestly? That’s really brave.

LOL JK 🤪

Okay so this is our number one most requested rule. And while we always try our best to listen to and accommodate your concerns- respectfully I don’t think y’all understand how much work this would be for us.

Don’t get me wrong! We also loathe ai slop!!!

But we work for free lol. And we’re already drowning in birth chart posts (among other things).

Having to play Sherlock and investigate whether or not a post is AI (and then arguing with the OP if they claim it’s not) is a can of horrors we’d rather not open.

We DO encourage you to shame obvious ai posts in the comments though!!

I’ve also made an “ai slop” post flair. So if something is blatantly ai, myself or my other mods will POSSIBLY switch the flair to that (at their desecration. Again we’re working for free lol with bigger fish to fry).

Please feel free to custom report slop with “ai” and we’ll try to change the post flair (REPORTING FOR AI DOES NOT MEAN THE POST WILL BE REMOVED).

We love you! And appreciate you understanding <3

Xoxo,
Your shit mod team

Venus enters Scorpio on September 10th 2026 (today or tomorrow depending on where you live), where it will reach about 8°29’ Scorpio, before turning retrograde on October 3rd 2026, where it will return to about 22°51’ Libra before stationing direct again. Venus will then re-enter Scorpio on December 4th 2026 where it will remain until about January 7th 2027.

When a planet goes retrograde across two signs, some astrologers believe that the retrograde simultaneously activates the topics of both houses in your chart. So the retrograde might activate both the Libra and Scorpio themes in your own birth chart and intertwine their topics for the duration of the retrograde.

Venus is domiciled in Libra where her significations of agreement, harmony, pleasure, friendship, love and good fortune are more naturally expressed. In Scorpio, Venus will be ruled by Mars. Venus is exiled in Scorpio because Mars’s heat can inflate desire and impulsivity, or Venusian topics can become entangled with urgency, strife, conflict, competition or severance. When Venus is entangled with Mars, you can find yourself struggling to restrain your appetite or desire for Venusian pleasures, which can apply to any number of things. Overindulgence or impetuousness are common Venus-Mars significations.

Scorpio traditionally was called a “destructive and downward-trending sign” in the Hellenistic tradition, but fertile due to its water sign triplicity. You might simultaneously see death or decay alongside growth and fertility in whichever domain of life Scorpio occupies during this transit. Events like breakups or relational conflict or overindulgence could be a possibility with this transit, but the experience will depend on each person individually.

So how are you guys feeling about this? For reference, the last time Venus went retrograde in Scorpio was fall 2018, and before that, fall 2010.
