What Venus in Scorpio means

Venus is in its detriment: love is all or nothing. Intense, possessive and loyal, you want a bond of souls, not a flirt.

Venus stands for love, beauty, pleasure and what you value. In Scorpio it works intensely and privately; it goes deep and does not let go.

In love: You love all the way down. Mystery, depth and intensity attract you; loyal to the death, jealous to match, never casual.
