Introduction
Each sign and corresponding energy has unique dynamics it acts within. Those dynamics are not only characteristic of the energy, but explain the deeper motivations and journey an energy will take to evolve & grow.
Looking into these motivations and exploring the inner & outer manifestation of these dynamics, you will find a duality that exists within each energy: unconscious & conscious, light & dark. While it’s evident at times that an energy within an actual person might be swayed towards a particular kind of evolvement, there’s always more to learn & integrate from the other side to further elaborate on the motivations taking place and how the energy is as a whole.
In other words, understand you will always be the conscious & unconscious of this energy so you can further integrate the dark and light sides of your energy, thus changing the dynamics of your inner and outer world.

The Struggle of Inferiority
Whether it’s sexual, romantic, platonic, familial, or any other kind of one-to-one relationship , Scorpio/8H/Pluto connected to Venus symbolizes the awareness of power struggles within personal relationships through a struggle of inferiority, betrayal and control. This regularly stems from issues in the relationship with the mother originally or within a sister or aunt dynamic (Venus), perhaps because the mother/sister was consistently seen as having more power (sexual, emotional or otherwise). Thus, over time the perception of feminine receptivity within one-to-one relationships is entangled with the need to redeem a sense of emotional effectiveness and power within relationships
Due to this seemingly innate feeling of inferiority, which may present as shyness or keeping secrets, this energy seems to do the most (pluto/scorpio/8H has a tendency towards extremes) in order to please or control a relationship dynamic. This energy might seek the insatiable in hopes of trying to redeem/uncover their own endless well of power and how valuable that is, but can end up reaffirming an inferiority because the internal, resentful energy cannot be hidden forever without eventually impacting the energy of the dynamic as a whole. Thus, others will eventually feel the inauthenticity and respond accordingly to its truth, not its presentation.
Physically manifesting, I’ve seen this frequently as someone who isn’t too confident about giving oral sex or preforming other sexual acts, but might also try really hard to figure it out. (Venus is mouth/giving/pleasure and Scorpio/Pluto is genitals). They can powerfully receive but when it comes to giving, they, at times and at different stages, lack the feeling of potency and magnetization which brings out another’s energy (aka orgasm or soul contacts). It’s also been noted that this energy frequently doesn’t like to be on top or to dominate the situation even though that's what people want/expect from them. Sometimes their laziness/submission is the way they choose to dominate the situation if they are coming from a resentful space.
Redemption of Personal Power in Relationships
With Scorpio/8H/Pluto connected to Venus, there is an unconscious call upon traumatic/transformative experiences in order to gain this feeling of sexuality, emotional control or power over others. This energy can fall into patterns of losing control, either of themselves with others or watching others lose control over themselves when dealing with them. A few examples being a Venus in the 8th individual not feeling sexually desired comparatively to other women which energetically manifested situations where they experienced extreme sexualization in rather disturbing situations which awakened them to their own unharnessed sexual energy (sexuality is closely related to feeling desired and powerful energetically), or the Scorpio Venus in the 6th who felt inferior to the darker nature of a sister/mother/peer and turned to secret, forbidden relationships and abusing substances in order to lose control and find their own darker nature. Venus is in invitation, Scorpio is dark, taboo energy.
This energy can show up as a pattern where the Venus/Pluto individual only comes around to use others' acceptance of their point of view or self image as a source of personal power. As an example, a Scorpio Venus girl is jealous of another girl who is the current interest of the boy she likes, so Scorpio Venus goes to her friends (who she finds regularly validate her darker, taboo feelings) to berate the girl’s appearance in attempt to validate that Scorpio Venus is better/more powerful option than this other girl. Thus, Scorpio Venus’ POV/self image feels accepted by someone they see as powerful (aka their friends who they see as willingly able to accept/relate to darkness) and that “levels the playing field” a bit in their eyes.
Close friends could also be seen as threats to the Scorpio/8H/Pluto- Venus person, too, which makes the presentation of their POV/self image even more strategic, often presenting a mutual kind of power they know the other person will be likely to accept. In fact, most of the time, friends (specifically women friends) are unconsciously seen/felt as threatening to the self image because of the power they yield to expose Scorpio/8H/Pluto- Venus’s truth or secrets (a power quite literally given to them by the scorpio/8H/pluto-venus individual themselves).
Thus this energy requires conscious effort through shadow work in order to understand how much and why the scorpio/8H/pluto- venus is really threatened, especially through the practice of discerning what power they are giving to others. A lot of this struggle shows up in how they initially or instinctively treat and perceive others. However, shadow projection happens to actually make it easier to eventually justify the image of power because while at first they can claim it as “a bad vibe”, the relationship dynamic can quickly show that the Scorpio /8H/Pluto-Venus individual actually wishes to embody the allure of the bad vibe in their own way.
This energy can stop at nothing to find the power within a relationship with another, sometimes destroying themselves and/or the other in the process to uncover the vulnerable, yet powerful truth of the emotional realities. How they relate ends up being the kicker to “the end”. Thus, purifying the relational style is the main theme of this dynamic. Recognizing the hidden talents of yourself and others and honoring and respecting those for the depth of power they carry is important in order to stop being “burned” by people who probably weren't trying to burn you in the first place
The Safe Haven or Exploitation of Deep Wounds
Seeing the worst in people is a power or a fault here, as well as loving and appreciating people for their most taboo parts (which might be less power-evoking as much as it just creates trauma bonds depending on the outlet that's taken). I find that over the years this energy starts to look deeper for satisfaction and pleasure in relationships, beyond their original perception of power or attractiveness, consciously or unconsciously seeking to heal their (and others) traumas through the relationships they choose to entertain, and also redefine sexuality/attractiveness/
receptivity through that process. This energy can create a safe environment for people to open up about their more taboo experiences and can make others feel accepted despite feeling they lack power.
This energy might also choose to be in relationships or partnerships with “inferior types” (not always obviously inferior, sometimes this relates more to anyone who is seen as an underdog in some capacity or area of life) because they seek to recognize their own feelings of inadequacy solely through those they choose to relate to. Those with struggles appeal most to this energy since it feels somewhat safer than trying to lock down a position of status with a “powerful type”. One the flip side, there also seems to be a trend of seeking to be friends with powerful women, all while taking and comparing notes beneath the surface. This energy really seeks to be appreciated in connections so if they have to undermine you to do that, they will, but they won't make that overtly known unless it benefits their self image.
These are also energies that can deal consistently with evil eye attacks and immense “falls from grace”, mainly because they give it out just as much (if not more) as they receive it. Scorpio/8H- Mars has a more warranted effect, seeking to avenge, whereas mixing Pluto & Venus makes things not so warranted and more of a “I'm getting even with you for how you present yourself to me and the power that has over my psyche” instead of accounting the full image of who someone actually is. The goal is to eventually learn how to hold space for differences in a noncompetitive way that allows everyone’s personal power to be recognized, appreciated, and accounted for.
Thus, this energy can choose to mess with the “wrong” people because of their own desire to undermine others to feel accepted. Scorpio/8H/Pluto- Venus can pick friends/partners that are the quiet competitors or the “lover-not-fighter-but-will-fight-for-what-i-love” type, eventually leading their relationships to a major transformation/break up because the other refuses to continue to be undermined, which becomes more and more apparent over time. Scorpio/8H/Pluto- Venus can become very triggered when others fight back and stand up for themselves and their self image, but that reaction from Scorpio/8H/Pluto-Venus really shows how much they weren’t valuing or giving credit to the other for being their own person with an equal amount of determination and hidden assets/talents to use to prevail. This energy gets burned by others because a lot of the time, they deserve to be on an emotional level because of this undercurrent of tumultuous, competitive energy they often bring into dynamics in the first place thinking that it was going to keep them on a high horse or as a respected individual.
