Venus controls our love and values, and for the rest of 2026, it will be moving through Scorpio!
The planet is also going retrograde during this transition! That means we’re circling back to revisit old wounds, patterns, relationships, unfinished business…
It’s downright chaos in here!
Venus is staying in Scorpio from September 10th への January 7th, so let’s see what this period has in store for our relationships by checking the rising signs.
1. The Energy Behind Venus in Scorpio
This transition brings our attention to whatever feels the most emotionally significant.
That means we’re all more likely to prioritize relationships and desires that actually matter to us, rather than those that seem like a good idea.
Scorpio has always been ruled by Mars, and in modern astrology, it’s linked to Pluto.
Venus brings serious energy to intimacy, desire, communication, and change.
Expressing love during this period will require vulnerability like never before. Attraction is bound to feel heavier and more private.
And, naturally, Venus retrograde adds even more weight to this transition! It will lead us to 質問 and review all that we hold dear, which might spell trouble for many relationships!
2. Aries Rising
This transit forces you to pay attention to deeper emotional and financial ties within your relationships.
Conversations about vulnerability and dependency will become unavoidable, whether you’re ready to have them or not.
Venus in Scorpio means you’ll begin to question if you and your loved ones are on the same page, or one of you is giving more.
These conversations are scary, but they have the potential to create incredible closeness in your relationships! The kind you’ve never had before.
However, come October 3rd, we’ll have a retrograde.
This is where unresolved trust issues start resurfacing out of nowhere. Expect jealousy issues that were never fully addressed, and even some financial tension.
You’ll have to take a hard look at your relationships and decide which serve you well, and which require stronger boundaries.
3. Taurus Rising
Your romantic relationship is bound to deepen with Venus in Scorpio. You will no longer be able to avoid talking about your expectations and desires when it comes to love.
If the relationship works, it will work even better. If it’s something more superficial, it will not make it through this transition… until retrograde arrives.
When it happens, don’t be surprised if old relationship patterns or even exes reappear in your life.
Don’t take this as a sign to reunite with anyone; take it as a chance to reflect on what you truly want and need in a partner.
Ask yourself if the person you’re with now is cutting it?
What does commitment mean to you, and are you settling for less than you want?
Honesty will set you up for healthier connections, once the transit passes.
4. Gemini Rising

How’s your routine and work environment? Are you taking enough time to care for yourself?
The transition will make you more aware of whether your responsibilities are leaving you enough room for real connections.
This is a good time to notice some of the habits you’ve built without thinking.
Come retrograde, those old habits and dynamics will double down. The gap between what you’re giving and what you’re receiving will become impossible to ignore.
Scorpio’s energy will have you prioritize honesty. Is your current ライフスタイル actually sustainable, or are you just going along with what you think might be right?
It sounds a little less dramatic than some of the other placements, but the relationship you have with yourself is the foundation for everything else!

Attraction might feel unusually intense during this period. Both your creative and romantic pursuits carry a lot more weight while the transition is happening.
This isn’t the time to play it safe.
When the planet retrogrades, old connections and projects you set aside will come back into focus.
Rather than panicking about why an old situationship is suddenly on your mind again, take the chance to reflect.
Think about what actually brings you joy, and if this old connection is part of it. Don’t trust your idea of what makes you happy; look at the facts.
Let yourself feel the intensity of everything that comes your way before you dismiss it. Perhaps this person from your past actually has something to offer?
This period rewards emotional honesty, so don’t hold back.

Venus in Scorpio is leading you to look inward, at your home and family. It’s time to observe your emotional security and be brutally honest.

Once retrograde comes, unresolved family issues will resurface. Difficult memories you’ve buried will come back to you, demanding to be processed.
You’ll need to question what emotional security means to you now that you’re all grown up.

Superficial relationships and friendships might suffer because you’re about to become more intentional with your time and energy.

Venus in Scorpio forces you to stop rushing through life and look inward.
Your private emotions and things you rarely express will start to come into focus.

This transit makes you pay special attention to your community and those relationships that help you advance in life.
You’ll become much more selective about who deserves your time, and this will lead you to prioritize deeper relationships.
Situationships won’t interest you while Venus is moving through Scorpio.
When there’s retrograde, some of the friendships and relationships you’ve released will demand a second look.
Ask yourself whether you see yourself surrounded by any of those people in the future, and why.

You’re not cutting people off mindlessly. You’re simply being more intentional.
12. Aquarius Rising
This transit will have you focus on your career and reputation.
Professional relationships will start to feel more significant.
Old opportunities or connections might resurface during Venus retrograde, forcing you to question your true ambitions.
Are you pursuing your current goals because they look good from the outside, or do they actually mean something to you?
Romantic connections are not likely to be a priority since you’ll be more concerned with your life path.
Either way, you’ll need to be completely honest with yourself.
13. Pisces Rising
Venus in Scorpio focuses on the part of your chart tied to beliefs and education.
You might find yourself pulled toward heavier conversations and unfamiliar ideas you would usually have avoided.
Scorpio influence isn’t allowing you to keep things simple right now. It wasn’t you to reach into the depths that you know you have.
Come the retrograde, expect old convictions and values to resurface. This also includes some romantic drama, since you’ll be willing to reconsider past beliefs about 愛.
Sit with these questions. Allow yourself to consider different possibilities before making a decision.
The retrograde is handing you time and clarity to decide what you really want!
