Areas of Expansion in 2018 for Scorpio:

Your Scorpio 2018 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Personality
Body Image
Money
Business
Values
Self-Worth

Until November 8, 2018, 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 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. 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. 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 possibly even the end of a problematic 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 of your personality.

Until August is particularly strong for creative and romantic endeavors. There is a magical quality to your personal appeal as well as your creative works! From January to September, your planetary ruler harmonizes beautifully with this influence, pointing to tremendous opportunities for self-expression. Communications and learning can be in strong focus and you’re excelling in these areas. Your personality comes through beautifully in whatever personal interest or project you’re involved with now.

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, with your desire to start over, watch that you don’t blind yourself to responsibilities.

There might also be times when others in your life 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. Basically, with transits such as this one, it’s best not to go overboard.

Otherwise, this can be a lovely time of opportunity. You might choose to pursue a new channel of 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.

There is a distinctive positive change in your personality or self-expression during this thirteen-month cycle.

From November 8th onward, money, personal possessions, and self-worth expand, increase, improve, and grow. Your desire for security and comfort is hearty now, and you’ll pursue these things with more confidence and verve. You feel that you deserve more!

This is a strong time for buying long-term valuables. You are likely to make bigger decisions about your material resources during this period.

This cycle that will be in influence until December 2019 is strong for attracting more money from your professional endeavors and for expanding a business. You might also more easily attract support from others, but be careful if you are suddenly in the position to receive, for example, a credit line or sizeable loan – spend wisely. You should certainly watch for overspending and excessiveness.

Potential difficulties: Be on the alert for an attitude towards money that is careless. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. If you’re overconfident about your ability to make money, then you might take foolish risks, such as borrowing too heavily from your future. Watch for over-indulgence. Be extra careful if lending or borrowing.

Otherwise, this is a good period for bringing a fresh, positive, and confident attitude towards your own self-worth and value, your earning ability, and your practical affairs, including work. There may be a significant bonus, gain, or win for some, or simply decreased financial stress. It’s important to be aboveboard in your dealings.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Scorpio 2018 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.

Communications
Transportation
Mindset
Daily Life
Making Contacts/Connections

Until 2020, 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 in the first eleven days of Scorpio and with Ascendants of 1-11 degrees of Scorpio are most directly affected.

Challenges can come to your communications during this cycle. You may be more guarded and particular with your communications, taking things quite seriously and somewhat fearful of making mistakes. 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 2018 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
Partnerships

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 through some of 2018 and beyond–until March 2019 — but is wrapping up. In 2018, a new theme begins on May 15th but then retreats on November 6th to finish its journey. It sounds complicated, but basically, 2018 is a transition year from one cycle to the next, and the themes are divided as follows:

Until May 15th and then from November 6th forward, you continue to bring fresh insight into your work, 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 through your work or daily life, 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 early November and mid-December when chaos can rule in your daily life (but only if you let it). An increased need for independence, freedom, and movement 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.

From May 15th to November 6th, you enter a lengthy period in which partnerships and relationships with others can be unpredictable and unusual, but also inspiring and exciting. You are more attracted to people who are free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric or unstable as close partners during this period; or you attract these types of people into your experience. You are learning about giving freedom to others, and this isn’t always easy. Trying to force convention or tradition on partnerships will be a lesson in frustration during this period.

Note that this influence is a major new long-term trend in your life and kicks in more consistently from March 2019 forward (until April 2026).

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2018 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 related to these changes, peaking in late November, when you may be battling with a need for more security and comfort, making it difficult to meet the demands of daily life.

However, overall, 2018 is a powerful time for communications, personal influence, and persuasion, especially from January to September. This is a time for much applause and appreciation from others, as well as fabulous rewards for your efforts. It’s a good time to write, speak, publish, or guide.

In 2018, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity continue to affect your sectors of career, reputation, responsibilities, home, and family.

With the North Node moving through your career and responsibility sector until November 6th, you are called upon to sort out your life plan. You continue to discover your needs to balance professional and personal life. 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 January/February and July/August.

In the second half of the year, the very beginnings of a new theme related to your communications, perspective, and transportation are introduced with an eclipse in mid-July and then the North Node’s transit of your adventure sector from November 6th forward. This theme will develop more fully in 2019, but you receive an introduction to it now. You can benefit greatly from expanding your perspective at this time. One of the major keys to happiness now is learning to reach out and connect beyond your usual bounds. Seek personal growth through expanding your horizons, such as through higher studies, philosophical pursuits, travel, or adventuresome experiences.
