Now let's think about Scorpio. It's a fixed water sign ruled by Mars
It's associated with things that are hidden, plotting, secrets, alchemy, poison, and medicine
Scorpio is the nocturnal sign of Mars, the planet of war. How do you kill someone on the low? Poison!

Water signs are generally associated with life and fertility but with Scorpio being ruled by Mars we have this water that isn't conducive to life
Alcohol aka "fire water" is a good example of how Scorpio can be both medicinal and poisonous

Anyone that's had a hangover before knows damn well alcohol consumption ain't good for your body
It burns your throat, makes you vomit, black out, damages your liver, etc etc
That shit ain't supporting life or growth

We often frame Life as the end all be all when in fact Death is what makes it even possible
Think about what you do when you get a cut. You clean the wound with alcohol to kill bacterial growth

You know how alcohol/fire water is made?
F E R M E N T A T I O N
Yeast, a bacteria, is encouraged to grow in organic material
Think about that for a second

Fermentation is exactly what Venus in Scorpio is all about

Connecting with things that seem scary and bad can be amazing

You have to be observant and cautious when you're playing with fire tho
Botulism is what you get when you invite the wrong kind of bacterial growth into your preserved food and that shit can kill you

The takeaway for thinking about Venus in Scorpio is what bacteria (people) are you inviting into your food (life)?
