Venus in Scorpio in the Fifth House

The placement of Venus in Scorpio indicates you have a need for intimacy and power in your relationships. Your judgments and value system are also likely to be influenced by your need for power and, also, by a need for truth and authenticity that is associated with Scorpio. You are likely to have a strong emotional attachment to these needs. With Venus in Scorpio, the need for power in relationships often manifests as a controlling attitude, but if you sensitively deal with your need for intimacy, there can be an incredible sharing of energy within a relationship(s). Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Scorpio are a result of your need to feel an intimate and authentic connection with another.

Venus’ placement in Scorpio is complex and possesses some inherent tensions. However, there is also a potential affinity between the functions symbolized by Venus and the Scorpio energy. The inherent tension is symbolized by the natural opposition between Scorpio and Venus-ruled Taurus and the natural semi-sextile between Scorpio and Libra, which is also ruled by Venus. Scorpio is the Fixed Water sign. Venus’s vibration is sympathetic to the water element associated with Scorpio. However, the fixed quality of Scorpio tends to inhibit the relationship function symbolized by Venus in its natural tendency to open outward toward the other. Scorpio is also associated with a strong drive for intimacy and if you can open the door of intimacy within yourself, fulfilling relationship(s) may result.  Venus in Scorpio tends to accentuate the relationship function symbolized by Venus, although the intensity of perception associated with Scorpio tends to strengthen Venus’s evaluative function.

Venus also symbolizes the anima in the psyche. Thus, if you are female with Venus in Scorpio, you are likely to model your femininity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Scorpio. If you are male, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Scorpio-associated traits.

Insecurities

Having Venus in Scorpio, as someone who is insecure and who is obsessed with the notions of power and control, you perceive others as threats who need to be manipulated and contained. This attitude, based on fear and survival, extends even to your closest associates and intimates. With Venus in Scorpio, your perception of the cosmos and its energy is that they are to be feared and never trusted. “Do unto others before they do unto you” becomes your motto. Never trusting, you never allow yourself to be intimate. Therefore, you never enter into a real relationship and your judgment is always tainted by suspicion.

Venus in the 5th House:

With Venus in the 5th House you are likely to enjoy a robust and expressive sense of beauty and relationship. The 5th House affords the Venusian function a chance to fully develop in elaborate fashion. Here, Venus’ energy can be completely expressed and developed to its mature potential. In the 5th House, your evaluation of your sense inputs and your awareness of and involvement in relationship become self-conscious, but in a fresh and innocent way. Having Venus in the 5th House, you not only become concerned with how you value and relate to your physical and social environment, but with what you can do with the Venusian function to embellish your persona. This involves a certain amount of awareness of how others perceive and validate your tastes and judgment and your way of relating. You will generally endeavor to display your most positive side in these matters, perhaps hiding your shadow to avoid disapproval.

As an individual with Venus in the 5th House, you can be expected to express your sense of beauty and form. Whatever your tastes, especially in the arts, music, drama, poetry, etc., these should be evident to those who know you, for they will be expressed. If you have any talent in these areas, you will probably try your hand at artistic creativity. Having Venus in the 5th House, you will at least wish you could express yourself creatively and will likely appreciate those who do.  You are also not likely to be shy about expressing your opinions about what you dislike or find ugly.

Insecurities

With Venus in the 5th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be unwilling to surrender yourself to another, or to purify your values so that they are selfless. This will lead you to hold back your self-expression. The values that you do express will be false and superficial. Your sense of beauty will be flawed by selfishness and your taste will be for show only – an attempt to gain others’ approval. Overcompensating for your insecurity, you may be vociferous in expressing your likes and dislikes but you care neither for the sensitivities of others nor for your own true affections.

In relationships, with Venus in the 5th House, you will hold yourself back, fearful that what you express may be rejected. Out of timidity, you may also fail to express your tastes and preferences. You may therefore appear to others to be a shallow personality, without passion, without a sense of yourself and without much to give in a relationship.

Evaluation Focus

As an individual with Venus in the 5th House, your evaluative and judgmental function is focused in the creative arena.  For this reason, you may have a well-developed (or at least pronounced) sense of artistic taste. You are likely to be particularly appreciative of the artistic expression of form, beauty and harmony. In fact, more than others, you are likely to be sensitive to the form inherent in a work of art.

Having Venus in the 5th House, you may also be very focused on expressing your judgment and taste. You are likely to make known to others what your likes or dislikes may be. This may be done directly (verbally) or indirectly through an open (sometimes ostentatious)  display of taste.
