Venus in Scorpio in the Tenth 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 10th House:

The placement of Venus in the 10th House suggests the importance and value that you place on accomplishment and success and your potential willingness to sublimate or even sacrifice the quality of your relationship(s) in order to achieve your goals. While the Venus in the 10th House placement resonates to a 7th-10th House conflict, the rewards that you receive by achieving success – the ability to possess and  enjoy what you like – resonates to the 2nd-10th House trine. Thus, you are likely to be driven by what you value to succeed in order to obtain what you like.

However, having Venus in the 10th House, what you value is also likely to be influenced by your focus on achievement and success. If you are predisposed by other factors to be driven toward success, then you are likely to be drawn toward those things that are symbolic of success, as well as developing values that enhance your chances of achieving success. If, however, your basic values lie in other directions than in accomplishment, status attainment and/or career service, these values could shape your ideas about success instead. Thus, with Venus in the 10th House, the relative strength of your pull toward what is represented by the 10th House or that which is symbolized by Venus should determine the extent to which one overpowers and dominates the other. If values such as enjoyment of what one likes, companionship and relationship or moral goodness are strong, this may diminish your drive toward success, as it is conceived materialistically.

Having Venus in the 10th House, this may be a positive or a negative development and may also signify some internal conflict. Even if the super-ego sanctioned concept of success is not emphasized, however, there is still likely to be a drive to achieve your own values (enjoyment, relationship, goodness, etc.). In turn, the interplay between values and success orientation are likely to shape the way that you conceive of and actualize your relationships.

Insecurities

As an individual with Venus in the 10th House, because you judge everything using the touchstone of its status and acclaimed success, you feel that your own relationships and how you are seen by others is determined by your own status, success and accomplishments. Feeling this pressure to succeed, you judge others by how much they will contribute to your own success and status.

With Venus in the 10th House, your values and your tastes, also, are crafted to enhance your status and to create an image of success and accomplishment. You become disturbed if you are associated with anything or anyone who does not fit this image. You believe that what is important is winning, but it is actually not the goal itself that you ultimately consider to be important, but how your winning will enhance your own image.

Having Venus in the 10th House, your true self-esteem is low and needs to be protected, since there is no authentic self behind the facade of status and success. If you do not enjoy success and status, you must grasp for it and/or manufacture it for yourself. If you cannot see yourself as successful, or you perceive that others view you as a failure, you may become discouraged, aimless, display poor judgment and/or become self-pitying.

Evaluation Focus

As an individual with Venus in the 10th House, you tend to make evaluations on a practical basis of the likelihood that something will succeed or assist you in reaching your goals. You are likely to place a high value on success and accomplishment and to be attracted to those things that are success-oriented. You generally like achievement and may dislike people or things that you associate with failure or lack of motivation. To the extent that you have traits of selflessness, you may enjoy accomplishing things that benefit society. You may, therefore, choose a career that can be described as people-oriented. You may also choose a career in which your talents of good taste and judgment can be employed successfully.
