Venus in Scorpio, 2026

Venus crosses from Libra into Scorpio on 10 September 2026 at 08:07 UTC. Scorpio is a fixed water sign ruled by Pluto. On 3 October 2026 Venus turns retrograde while in Scorpio, and it slips back into Libra on 25 October 2026 at 09:10 UTC, after 45 days in the sign. The retrograde continues until 14 November 2026.

The tradition treats Venus in Scorpio as intense and private: affection that wants depth, honesty and commitment rather than light company. Classical astrology counts Scorpio as a sign where Venus is in detriment, read as feelings running strong and sometimes possessive. Themes include trust, intimacy, shared resources and what lies beneath the surface. With the retrograde beginning here, astrologers read the later weeks as a time to look back. A modest suggestion: notice where trust feels firm and where it needs an honest conversation.
