Areas of Expansion in 2017 for Scorpio:

Your Scorpio 2017 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Spirituality
Charity & Compassion
Private Life
Personality
Body Image

Until October 10, 2017, your spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance continue to expand and grow. Matters from the past are magnified in your life now. You tend to sort through the attitudes that serve you well, and the behaviors that need to go in order for you to grow and improve – a cycle that began in September 2016 and lasts until October 2017.

This is generally a warm, protective cycle, although with Jupiter in the background in your chart, there may be some sense that you are not truly living or experiencing your life to the fullest, or that your joy in life is not as obvious to others. With the ruler of your resources sector in the sector of your chart that rules private matters, anonymity, healing, and endings, you can be strongly attracted to alternative healing methods for both mind and body. You may be exploring counseling, spiritual, or psychic talents. There could be a source of income related to healing, counseling, or spiritual guidance. For some of you, there can be work on a business or money-making project in relative solitude or privacy. There may be some sacrifices involved in your personal relationships.

You may also be especially compassionate and empathetic. This may be a good period for volunteer work, or for work done behind the scenes, in private, or in the helping professions.

Potential negatives: Escapism. You might often be tempted to escape your everyday responsibilities and challenges, and should avoid reliance on drugs, drinking, or other “glamorous” forms of escape.

Jupiter’s influence is generally considered positive, and it is, ultimately. However, it acts to magnify the area of the chart that it affects, and at times it can be uncomfortable if you are having difficulties in this area. In your case, if you are lonely or if you feel helpless, and if you have troubles facing your past, then this influence can heighten these issues. Ultimately, it’s for the good. The cosmos asks you now to surrender some of your attachments and to surrender to the unknown. Releasing control is necessary. Building your faith is the work you are doing now. While your tendency is to play a supportive role to others, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries when it comes to your energy and time. In March and August-September in particular, there can be some strains on mental and physical health, a feeling of overload with daily affairs or communications, and possible pressures in your work. Difficulties keeping up with daily schedules, which can be (or seem) demanding at these times, can be an issue.

There is stronger joy in being of service to others, but do be careful that you take care of yourself as well.

However, for the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. Your perceptions heighten. Your ability to make sacrifices for others increases, as well as for pursuits that you believe in, and you might build your confidence in yourself as you help and support others. Throughout, but particularly in August, you can be especially productive working behind the scenes or in relative solitude. This is a good time for improving your finances and working hard on a money-making endeavor.

From October 10th onward, Jupiter is in your sign! This approximately one-year transit comes only every twelve years and serves to bring you out of your shell. You’re ready to take on the world. This is a time for exploring your needs and pursuing your dreams. Your personality, image, body image, and confidence in yourself expand to new levels with Jupiter in your sign until from October 2017 to November 2018. You are seeing whole new possibilities, and your vision of life is panoramic.

If you’ve done your inner “work” well while Jupiter was transiting your solar twelfth house from September 2016 to October 2017, this can be an especially rewarding period. Your confidence in yourself and faith in the world are growing exponentially. Freedom is something you seek, but be wary of the costs of freedom when it’s pursued without necessary attention to responsibilities.

You are more willing to enjoy new experiences and to rid yourself of those things that have been holding you back from truly living and owning your life.

There can be new projects begun now that have long-term potential. You may not yet know where you’re headed with them, but you’re certainly enthusiastic about beginning anew.

Expanding your horizons through higher learning or travel might also figure strongly. This is a time for aligning your behavior with what you believe is right. You are taking more “me” time, which is in fact long overdue.

This is also a strong time for material affairs, money, self-worth, and personal possessions. Jupiter is the natural ruler of the resources sector in your solar chart. This comes at the same time as a Saturn transit to this sector, so that there may be some restrictions or buckling down involved with these areas of life as well. There is generally good energy for bringing more structure and simplicity to your material world. This influence can help you to actualize dreams, as Jupiter and Saturn working together can help bring plans to life. How you handle your money can affect your outlook very strongly during this period.

You are seeking out a new beginning – a fresh start, of sorts – and your desire to do right is especially strong. Work or projects that you have been working on in private or behind the scenes may now begin to pay off. There is less focus on serving and helping others now, perhaps because this is no longer as necessary (for example, a child can go off to college, or even the end of a relationship that took up a lot of your energy and resources, from which you are now enjoying some level of freedom), and now you can put some of your personal interests on the front burner.

You won’t feel like sitting around during this period of your life. You are hungry for new experiences. Everyday stresses that may have frustrated you in the past now seem almost inconsequential, as your vision is lifted above the mundane. As such, your ability to manage stress and pressure increases. You are more tolerant in your attitude towards others, and you’re considerably more confident about expressing the playful, creative, and fun side to your personality.

From December forward is strong for creative and romantic endeavors. There is a magical quality to your personal appeal as well as your creative works!

Potential negatives: Weight gain, pompous behavior, restlessness, over-confidence, wastefulness, and excesses in general. See to it that these things don’t ruin an otherwise excellent period. As well, in your desire to start over, watch that you don’t blind yourself to responsibilities.

There might also be times when others may feel threatened by your newfound displays of freedom and independence, when your personal desires are greater than your means, or when you have troubles with self-discipline, budgets, and limits.

Otherwise, this can be a time of opportunity. You might choose to pursue a new channel for self-expression or mental interest with great passion. There can be a strong sense of release and freedom from previously limiting, rigid, or stifling conditions.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Scorpio 2017 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

Finances
Values
Communications
Daily Life

Until December 19, 2017, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your chart that governs personal finances, income derived from your own efforts (this excludes shared finances and financial support through debts and rebates), personal possessions, self-esteem, personal talents, and personal values. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence began December 23rd, 2014, left for the summer of 2015 only to return at the end of the summer, and will be with you until December 2017. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Scorpio. This year as it wraps up its transit, it affects those Scorpios born from November 13-21 and people with 21-30 degrees of Scorpio on the Ascendant most directly.

Tests can come to your financial affairs during this cycle. You are challenged to better manage your personal resources, and to come up with a fair and realistic assessment of your value or worth as well. You may be necessarily more cautious about entering into heavy financial commitments during this period, and more cautious in general with spending. Worries can surface about your earning power, but as you progress, the ideal end result will be a stronger sense of what you are capable of earning, better spending and saving habits, and a more realistic budget. Cutting back on some luxuries may be in order, but you may just discover that the security you gain is more important than the luxuries you let go.

The challenges of this influence can be more noticeable around late April and early November, as your desire to expand a business, enjoy your social life, or to realize a dream may conflict with your need to approach your finances more maturely. If you’ve been spending too much on entertainment or romance, you’ll feel the pinch and will need to take some steps to cut back. You might also be wrestling with issues of self-worth and this affects your romantic and artistic life, where you may be uncharacteristically insecure or vulnerable and perhaps feel less able to assert your desires. Remind yourself to believe in yourself!

Overall, however, this should be a rewarding cycle for coming to a better position regarding the management of your material resources. You are exceptionally security-minded at this time and you can begin or step up savings plans. Look for overlapping or unnecessary expenses and other redundancies, and aim to rid yourself of material clutter. Writing, teaching, and communicating your ideas could figure strongly in your business and may contribute more to your personal income than previously. An influence that began in December 2016 and is with you until November this year improves your work and attitude towards what you do. This can, in fact, be a very enjoyable, comfortable period for making money, working life, and the pursuit of health goals. You can find the right balance between innovation and tradition. There can be significant breakthroughs now. An additional supportive influence is with you most of the year but peaks in August: this can be a fabulous time for starting a business or spending extra time grooming and refining a business or project. There can be tremendous work going into this now, but it’s very enjoyable. This is a good time for improving your finances and working hard on a money-making endeavor.

From December 19, 2017, and onward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach are associated with the sector of your solar chart that governs communications, learning, and local transportation. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life, as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence will stick with you until the year 2020. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Scorpio. This year, those born only in the first two days of Scorpio and and with Ascendants of 0-2 degrees of Scorpio are most directly affected. (In 2018, this will extend to 10 degrees and the first 10 days of Scorpio).

Challenges can come to your communications. You may feel pressure to produce ideas, and to make them work in the “real world”. A certain somberness in your outlook may be characteristic of this phase, as it could be a time of worry. It may seem like acquaintances and sometimes siblings are blocking your growth in some manner, and these relationships may be strained as a result. Although you have a desire to make contacts, you are now rather preoccupied with learning or other mental projects, and you may view idle chit-chat as a waste of time. You may feel an unusual pressure to structure your time and effort, and to cut out communications that seem unnecessary. You may at times feel rather overwhelmed by such things as errands, red tape, and other such day-to-day “disruptions”. By the end of the transit, however, you will have ideally gained a greater depth of understanding, having focused on information and communication that you really can use to feel more effective in the world.

There is a great need now to structure your life by way of schedules, managing daily details and your time more effectively. There can be some problems with local transportation — getting from point A to point B. There can be some restlessness or an urge to get out and about, but you might feel weighed down by your daily responsibilities.

There can be issues with mobility and transportation during this transit, and mechanical breakdowns can present challenges. However, this is also a time of increased practicality and esteem. You are more reliable than usual. You procrastinate less. Teaching can be in strong focus. There can be a greater love of the less glamorous aspects of your work, studies, and projects, and you are capable of tremendous effort to further your goals. During this cycle, Saturn is in one of the signs that it rules (Capricorn) and performs very well in this position. This gives more power to your communications sector – you are functioning in your own terms. You understand the need to structure and organize your daily affairs and communications implicitly. The last time Saturn transited here was from 1988-1990 – it doesn’t happen often.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed:

Your 2017 Scorpio Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

Work
Daily Routines
Service
Health & Habits
Self-Care

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle in which your work, daily routines, and health may be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. This influence continues throughout 2017 and beyond–until March 2019. You can bring fresh insight into your work now, although you might be impatient with rules and schedules. Daily routines can be chaotic and your energy tends to be up and down.

Ultimately, you are looking for a more authentic expression of yourself on the level of work, and while it can be a little chaotic for now, you are learning to tap into your “inner genius”. While some of you may be more interested in alternative health practices, many of you may be ignoring important health routines. Watch for carelessness with your health. Try to keep regular health appointments.

Sudden changes or upsets are more likely in March, August, and September, when chaos can rule in your daily life (but only if you let it). An increased need for solitude, downtime, and spiritual pursuits can, at times, interfere with work-related matters. Watch for your social life/romantic life interfering with your ability to handle work and chores. As well, you may be pouring too much energy into planning and dreaming up new projects at the expense of orderliness in your life. You have a low threshold for boredom at times this year, and while inner restlessness can certainly push you to make important changes, it can also attract some trouble if you are living on auto-pilot and not consciously directing your energies into productive channels.

The most positive influences of this transit are easier to come by this year, all in all, due to a wonderfully supportive aspect in force until November, and peaking in May and November. Recognition for your less orthodox or traditional ideas may be forthcoming. You are innovative and progressive, and this can help you to advance your goals. You are more able to balance practical application and innovative approaches now. There can be a breakthrough of sorts with money, work, and health that leads to better time management practices and working conditions. The work you do can be both stable and exciting in 2017.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2017 Scorpio Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Communications
Transportation
Home
Family
Career
Reputation
Life Path Goals

Communications, learning, and daily life continue to transform this year. This can be an excellent period for studies, writing, and communicating, although there is a tendency towards intensity that can work against you at times if you’re not careful.

There may be some challenges, peaking in March and August, when you may be battling with a need for more privacy or a desire to retreat, making it difficult to meet the demands of daily life. Sudden events or circumstances can leave you feeling a little insecure. Watch how and what you communicate at this time. A powerful time for communications and personal influence and persuasion occurs in November.

In 2017, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your sectors of friendships, romantic relationships, and creative matters, and these areas of life continue to evolve in important ways, but only until May, with things coming to a head in February.

With the North Node moving through your career and responsibility sector from May forward, you are called upon to sort out your life plan.

A newer theme in your life this year has to do with discovering your needs to balance professional and personal life. The balance between attention to home, personal goals, and private life and attention to career and public life comes into focus this year. Changes are necessary in order to manage both life departments, as over-attention to either will leave you feeling out of sorts and guilty. Nevertheless, career and reputation are extremely important to you this year – these things can bring the most challenge, but also the most joy. Nurture your desire to feel accomplished and to meet your responsibilities. There is a real need to put yourself out there while still giving due attention to your personal life, particularly around the eclipses in February (career, life path, responsibility eclipse) and August (family/home/personal life eclipse AND career, life path, responsibility eclipse).
