on october 10th 2017 jupiter moves into scorpio- where he will stay for the next 13 months (jupiter moves into his home sign of sagittarius on november 8th 2018). i am personally very excited about this transit as scorpio rules the depths, the shadow and what is hidden- and jupiter can help us to expand and grow by diving into the deep end of the pool. jupiter in libra promised great things: marriage, balance, peace and harmony. yet almost all of jupiter in libra’s aspects were tense (tense aspects to neptune, pluto, uranus, eris and chiron)- which actually did more to upset the peace and balance and show us where things were out of harmony so we could hopefully do the work to address what is out of alignment.
now that jupiter is moving into scorpio almost all of his aspects are harmonious- trine neptune, sextile pluto, trine chiron. the only ‘tense’ ones are a square to nodes on new years eve (12/31/17) and quincunx uranus next november (11/7/18) right before he moves into sagittarius. so we have more harmonious aspects helping to make this transit more benevolent and expansive.
jupiter in scorpio brings the planet of expansion, abundance, growth and luck into the depths and abyss of scorpio. the image i get is a light being shone into the deepest recesses of the darkness. scorpio rules all the taboo topics of society: sex, death, money, power and control. the things people are obsessed with and people are afraid of- scorpio rules them. jupiter in scorpio is excellent for facing fears and facing obsessions. this is a 13 month transit where deep inner work, shadow work, therapeutic work and other means of diving deep into your own Unconscious and shadow are super supported!
scorpio also rules the occult and the mysteries- making the coming year a great time to study these subjects and deepen your awareness of the hidden mysteries of the Universe! scorpio rules tantra as well- and when i say tantra i mean the original path of tantra from india not the westernized version that is all about sex and orgies. true tantra is about full engagement with all of life. sex is a part of it- but it’s not all of it. jupiter in scorpio can be exceptional for deep journeys in intimacy and for working on profound transformation through intimate relationships.
this can be an excellent transit for expanding wealth- material and financial for sure but also (and to me even more importantly) spiritual, emotional and psychological. it’s exceptional for passion, empowerment, evolution and death/rebirth experiences where we can rise out of the ashes like the phoenix and be reborn.
with jupiter in scorpio, the dispositor of jupiter is now pluto in capricorn. one of the big aspects jupiter in scorpio makes is a sextile to pluto (see table of dates below). this doubles down on the amazing potential for jupiter in scorpio (as explained above) as we have the ruler of scorpio supporting the transformation/evolution/inner work/empowerment incoming. in addition we have a link between jupiter in scorpio, pluto in capricorn and saturn in sagittarius (until saturn moves into capricorn in december). so for the next couple of months we have the two teacher planets and the planet of transformation linking up in ways that help us get more masterful, grounded, empowered and willing to do the inner and outer work asked of us.
what is interesting is we are heading into the final chapter of the saturn/pluto cycle we are in. this saturn/pluto cycle began in november 1982 and it ends in january 2020 when we have the new saturn/pluto cycle seeded. so we are in the last part of this cycle- which is akin to the dark moon in the lunar cycle- a time to let go, release and prepare for a new cycle incoming. yet this is also a time when all the unresolved energies of the cycle we are in come to a head to be addressed. and jupiter in scorpio can certainly help us get into whatever shadows or behind the scenes things are still unresolved.
of course with jupiter trine neptune (the two spiritual planets) and jupiter trine chiron- there is profound opening for healing, transformation and evolution via emotional intimacy (great read is a book by the same name written by robert masters). we are able to access the depths of scorpio and the heights of pisces. we are able to get in touch with our greatest shadow but also our Greatest Light. enlightenment is about integration- and this jupiter in scorpio transit can help us to dive deep and realize more of a our wholeness IF we are willing to do the work to get there! ;)
