Natural Chart / Whole Houses
Venus rules Taurus which is 180° from Scorpio therefore Venus is said to be in detriment in Scorpio What this means is that it's power is diminished, it is cut off from it's usual resources and will need to learn how to adapt in order to fulfill its urges. Venus' urge is to love and be loved, to have affection, comfort, and security. Generally speaking when Venus is in Scorpio people are more intense and passionate about romance, sex, sensuality, security, and mysteries. They want these things but have trouble attracting them, they try too hard, they put themselves in vulnerable positions and things may or may not work out for them.

Example
Venus in Scorpio and the 1st House
The first house is all about you: what I want, what I need. With Venus in the First house you want to love, to be loved, to have security, and to experience comfort and luxury. Scorpio adds an intensity to the desire to love and be loved. You are drawn to anyone who is dark, mysterious, and who has the potential to give you the sense of security that you desire. However, since Venus is in detriment in Scorpio you may also try too hard, you may come across as too needy, too clingy, or too possessive which may cause anyone you direct your attention and interest toward to pull away from you.
In addition to house placement, you will also want to look at any aspects formed between Venus in 0° Scorpio and any other planets in your natal chart. For example. Transit Venus in 0° Scorpio is making a square to my Natal Jupiter in 02° Aquarius. When Venus is square to Jupiter, you encounter obstacles in regards to making love grow. For this reason you may compensate by overindulging in food or drink (pleasure of the senses) or buying things that you really don't need or which do not bring the satisfaction that you thought it would. Laziness can also a result of Venus square Jupiter.
