We are beginning to get a sense of what Venus retrograde in Scorpio means for us as the sun spends its last week in Venus-ruled Libra. It is an emotional and passionate time when we question the deeper implications of our relationships. Goth macabre Halloween aesthetics appropriately reign supreme (Venus = beauty; Scorpio = death). As of Monday, we have 32 days left of Venus retrograde, where the normally shallow planet of love and money spends some time getting her hands dirty in Scorpio, the sign of purification and transformation, which is sometimes associated with sewage and the bowels. But after Venus retrograde ends on November 16, there will still be a "shadow" period, where Venus travels in forward motion over the path she had just retrograded over, allowing for a final seal of approval until December 17.
