Venus in Scorpio
Intense love, psychological depth, transformation through relationship, all-or-nothing desire
Venus is in detriment in Scorpio — the friction is real and the friction is also the point. Love here is not an uncomplicated pleasure. It's an experience designed to change both people involved in permanent ways, for better or for worse, and usually some mixture of both.
The magnetism is real and frequently remarked upon. Something about Venus in Scorpio suggests depth, suggests that being seen by this person would mean something — that their perception goes where most people don't bother to look. They attract people who want to be genuinely known. Sometimes those people can handle what genuine knowledge actually involves. Sometimes they cannot.
