    What or who might emerge from the depths???

    After the usual 5-weekish stay in flirtatious Libra, one of its home signs, Venus, the planet of values (what WE value and desire), love and finances, entered the “still waters run deep” sign of Scorpio on the 10 September this year. Venus usually spends approximately 37 days in each sign but due to its 42-day retrograde period it will actually remain in Scorpio until 7 January 2027 (retrograding from 08°29’ Scorpio and backtracking into the sign of Libra on 25 October where it will station direct at 22°55’ on 13 November – thus spending an overall period of 80 days in Libra) – to re-enter Scorpio on 4 December).

    The main transits involving Venus during this period until its retrograde station:

    15 September: square OOB Pluto R (03°16’ Scorpio-Aquarius) – maybe something challenging in a relationship that needs your attention, you can’t control another person however hard you might try so sometimes it’s best just to let go.

    In Scorpio, Venus is in her mythical lover’s den (one of them, the other being in Aries).

    Venus in Scorpio can lend itself to uncanny ways of seduction with psychological abuse and mental cruelty not being unknown here. On the other hand, it’s powerfully attractive and very passionate. In Libra we have a more harmonious, graceful lover, elegant but often emotionally remote since indecision often ruins ardour. Venus in Scorpio, as in Aries, is in her detriment where the planet is least at ease in her surroundings.

    So, since Venus deals with values of some kind we might want to acknowledge that these include our self-esteem too. In fact, there is a lovely observation in the book “Planets” edited by Joan McEvers which quotes astrologer Robert Glasscock as stating:

    “The glyph we use for Venus in astrology resembles a hand-mirror”

    continuing “what you value is a reflection of who you are so what we love is a reflection of ourselves”. Isn’t that a lovely way of conveying one of Venus’s meanings?

    “Today my forest is dark. The trees are sad and all the butterflies have broken wings.” Raine Cooper
