As aforementioned, Scorpio Venuses don’t typically have the easiest time when it comes to love. Renstrom tells mindbodygreen it’s not uncommon for them to face lies, drama, betrayal, or distrust earlier in life as they date people.
And as you might imagine, this can further fuel the fire to their already skeptical and private nature. According to the AstroTwins, casual dating is probably not a priority for these folks for this reason, as they prefer to “plunge into the depths of intimacy and find out every one of their lover’s secrets”—even if they’re slow to open up about their own.
The good news is, after a while, someone with a Scorpio Venus can finally find someone they can really trust and bond with, and it will often be someone who can meet them in those emotional depths. “They start to attract people into their lives who have gone through difficult times too and have that shared experience of understanding heartbreak,” he explains.
From there, he says, Venus in Scorpio’s intensity turns into a shared intensity with their partner, forging an incredibly deep bond that can stand the test of time. This is a loyal placement, often for better or worse, but with the right person, the strength and longevity of that bond are unmatched.
A few things to watch out for, however, include jealousy, possessiveness, and even obsession. Scorpio Venuses are inclined to be jealous, and not only that, but they can be the subject of intense jealousy as well, according to Renstrom.
In terms of compatibility, it’s always a good idea to check out a full astrological compatibility chart (aka synastry chart) to get the big picture, but Scorpio Venuses would likely do well with other water Venuses (Cancer, Pisces, or another Scorpio), as well as earth sign Venuses (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn).
