Venus Transit in Scorpio

Scorpio belongs to Mars, who stands neutral to Venus, and Shukra passes through in about twenty-four days. The fixed, watery sign drives desire underground, and attachment turns intense during the stay.

Scorpio governs the excretory organs, secrets, research and sudden change. Venus here deepens attraction and adds possessiveness. Relationships either deepen sharply or break, and money held jointly draws attention and dispute.

The nakshatras are Vishakha, Anuradha and Jyeshtha. Vishakha, under Jupiter, opens with fixed purpose in a bond, Anuradha, under Saturn, is the steadiest stretch and favours friendship and devotion, and Jyeshtha, under Mercury, closes with rivalry and questions of seniority.

Classical gochara counts Venus difficult only in the sixth, seventh and tenth from the natal Moon. Gemini, Taurus and Aquarius Moons carry it in those houses through this stay. The other nine receive it well, and Scorpio Moons hold it in the first, where feeling runs deep and private.

The stay shows the grip inside a person's affection, and the fear that drives it. Naming that fear once, plainly, is the work of the passage.

Keep joint accounts clear and written.

• Recite Om Dram Dreem Draum Sah Shukraya Namah on Friday.
• Take up devotion or japa during Anuradha.
• Put every shared financial arrangement in writing.

Counted from the natal Moon, following Phaladeepika. Read the ascendant the same way. Vedha and the birth chart can change the result.
