Jupiter in Scorpio

 

Jupiter’s entrance into the intense, secretive sign of Scorpio on October 11, 2017 marked the beginning of a thirteen-month period of exploring and confronting the complex mysteries of life and death, as well as the dark canyons deep within us. The magnetism and healing power of Jupiter in Scorpio is a powerful force for change. It has the strength to move us through this alchemical process of transforming something from the deepest recesses of our being and ascending beyond our present state of consciousness.

 Jupiter is a planet of great expectations and represents growth and expansion. With Jupiter we expect to win the lottery and when that great promotion or the increased income is bestowed upon us, we feel let-down because we didn’t get those millions.  Often it is called the planet of good luck but it is more complex than that. Jupiter after all is the Roman equivalent of Zeus – the god of gods – so this planet is powerful in many subtle yet forceful ways. 

What Jupiter promises or leads us to believe this year and what he brings depends on what area is affected for each sign. However, with Jupiter the concept to remember is expansion and growth. What is expanded, emphasized and made ‘bigger’ depends on other planetary connections. In this case Jupiter in Scorpio brings everything to do with war, death and regeneration to the spotlight – one of the Jupiter in Scorpio cycle saw the war in the Balkans and the Rwandan Massacre. But it also offers hope, such as many breakthroughs in nuclear peace talks and weapons reduction. It is concerning that there have been alot of recent news on possiblities of war and 2018 may be a year where this is some kind resolution be it beneficial or disastrous could happen. 

 On the positive side, we can choose to use this energy to tap into our inner wealth and spiritual power for the good of all. At its most negative extreme, greedy lust for outer wealth and power can lead to the exploitation of others. Free will permits us to choose the Jupiter in Scorpio energy for better or for worse. If we navigate this alchemical process wisely, an important segment of our lives will be purged, purified, and transformed by the time Jupiter exits Scorpio in November 2018.
