From the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris; retrograde returns count as one stay. Swiss Ephemeris agrees: median under a minute, largest 1.7 minutes where the planet barely moves. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.
Venus governs attraction and values — what you find beautiful and how you love. In Scorpio, that function takes on intensity, privacy and refusal to accept surfaces — a Fixed Water expression ruled by Pluto (traditionally Mars).
Essential dignity
How tradition rates Venus in Scorpio
Scorpio faces Venus’ home, Taurus, across the wheel, so tradition puts it in detriment here: −5.
In practice
What it looks like in a person
Attraction is intense, private and all-or-nothing. Surface charm matters far less than depth, and the person is drawn to what is hidden in others — their history, their secrets, what they do not say. Taste runs toward the dramatic and the meaningful, and pleasure without emotional weight tends to bore them. Venus is traditionally in detriment in Scorpio, describing intensity in love rather than bad intentions.
From the outside
What other people notice first
Others notice magnetism and privacy — a sense that this person feels more than they show, and is very selective about whom they let close.
At work
Good with finance, research, psychology, negotiation and confidential work. They are good at reading what clients really want, and they rarely take a deal at face value.
Under pressure
When things go badly
Under strain the person tests. Suspicion, possessiveness and emotional withdrawal as punishment are the usual risks.
Commonly overstated
What Venus in Scorpio does not mean
It does not mean manipulative. Intensity is not control, and many with this placement are the most faithful partners imaginable.
The work
What this placement asks of you
Trust without surveillance, and forgiveness without keeping score.
