Jupiter’s effects are to expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our understanding. Jupiter represents optimism, growth, generosity, and abundance.

Jupiter’s transit through intense and passionate Scorpio urges us to go after our hearts’ desires. As Jupiter moves through Scorpio, we learn and understand that in order to heal, we have to cut out the fluff and focus on what really matters to us. Because Jupiter’s nature is extravagant, we must guard against “too much.” Moderation doesn’t come naturally to either Jupiter or Scorpio.

Scorpio is a Water sign. Water signs encompass feelings and emotions, and Jupiter in a Water sign teaches us to embrace our emotions–to understand them, go with our feelings, and express them on a social level. Jupiter in Scorpio encourages us to grow and expand emotionally, and because Scorpio is focused and deep, it encourages us to develop intimacy–with ourselves and with others.

With Jupiter in Scorpio, we attract the most success and good fortune when we put our “all” into a project or undertaking, and when we use our magnetic powers to heal others.

Jupiter’s zeal can supersede moderation at times. It can expand the more negative qualities of a sign, just as it can expand the positive traits. Its zeal and enthusiasm are well-intentioned, but it can blind us to our immoderate behavior. In Scorpio, we can be obsessive. If it feels good, we just go for it.

However, the “higher” vibration of Jupiter looks for perspective. Jupiter’s perspective isn’t a detached, analytical, or detailed look at any given situation, but an overview–a look at the “big picture.” With Jupiter, ideally, we can rise above pettiness, mundane concerns, and inconveniences. Where Jupiter is currently transiting in your own chart is where you are inclined to find your “joy” at this stage in your development. This area of your life expands and improves in some manner. There is also a need for new tools to develop these areas of life. In order to develop, we need to pursue our goals with confidence and optimism, without going overboard.

During this Jupiter in Scorpio cycle, we particularly value decisiveness, intensity, willpower, commitment, and strength. We’re less focused on what’s fair or polite and more interested in getting to the bottom of a matter. Status and social standing are less important to us than personality and character.

Jupiter not only likes to expand, but it also loves to learn, so when Jupiter is paired with Scorpio, we may be more interested and enthusiastic about deeper studies and meanings as well as all that is taboo, hidden, or mysterious. Science and research may be prosperous avenues. There can be a stronger desire to solve problems and cut right to the chase. We can develop a larger interest in psychology and human resources. In the media, we may find there’s more interest in “badass” characters.

New avenues for connecting with others may open up, or we begin to see more opportunities for these things. People who have given up on finding a meaningful intimate relationship or partnership might now reconsider. Jupiter in Scorpio’s energies are adamant so that unhappy intimate unions are not going to be preferable than going it alone. Just as with Jupiter in Libra, relationships are not status quo during this Jupiter in Scorpio cycle. There can be a focus on gaining in some way through our relationships – of coming to a stronger position in a significant way. Combining resources can be a strong theme.

Energetically speaking, Jupiter and Scorpio are a bit of a mismatch. A major difference is that Jupiter looks outside of itself to expand, improve, and grow, while Scorpio’s inner landscape is of particular importance. We should certainly watch for overdoing, overstating, and excessiveness in our relationships.

This is a fabulous period for looking at the darker corners of life — and of ourselves — from a new perspective or for purging, depending on what we find! It can also be a time for finding valuable resources that were hidden from our view or that we previously overlooked, as well as for awakening talents within ourselves and, perhaps especially, within others.

This can be a powerful time for healing, improving, and transforming. With Scorpio, there is transformation. We’re not interested in band-aid fixes, and we’re more willing than usual to enter into a crisis so that we can effect change. Middle of the road is no longer attractive to us at this time. Themes include sex, money, and power, as well as death and rebirth, and we can be particularly fascinated with these topics during Jupiter’s thirteen-month transit of Scorpio.

The aspects above are aspects Jupiter makes while in the sign of Scorpio. Jupiter’s major aspects during its transit of Scorpio are mostly harmonious.

Excellent times for the Jupiter in Scorpio transit include when Jupiter is in mutual reception with Mars, ruler of Scorpio, and when Jupiter forms easy aspects to other bodies. Opportunities associated with these periods may not be as obvious as those arising from challenges, but they’re there for those looking for them. These happen:

• While Mars is in Sagittarius from January 26th to March 17th, 2018, (Jupiter is direct until March 9th and in mutual reception with Mars, suggesting both bodies are in especially good form),
• Jupiter’s trine to Neptune and sextile to Pluto.

Jupiter’s trine to Neptune. Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface now. Making connections with others from a different background may figure. Widening our minds through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. Practical considerations could take a back seat to imaginative and spiritual goals now. Generosity and compassion increase and our faith receives a boost. We more easily make personal sacrifices for what we believe to be the larger good.

Jupiter’s sextile to Pluto. This transit generally favors business, the law, and commerce. We might enjoy increased influence, faith, and insight now. The desire for more personal significance can lead us to give of ourselves or motivate us to pursue personal or professional goals more ambitiously. The ability to sway or persuade can be enhanced now. One of the most positive uses of this transit is taking steps to better ourselves. We might solve a problem that has been in existence for some time, or capitalize upon a resource that was previously hidden.

Jupiter’s trine to Chiron. This subtly uplifting time brings us the opportunity to free ourselves of restrictive and negative attitudes that have been undermining our progress. We are especially open to learning from others, and better able to help others to understand our point of view. We might open our minds to different perspectives and philosophies. We are absorbing and possibly sharing what we’ve learned from past experiences and mistakes.

Other Jupiter boost dates of interest:

Jupiter in Scorpio is bi-quintile Chiron on October 16th, 2017.

Jupiter in Scorpio is quintile Pluto on November 3rd, 2017.

Jupiter in Scorpio is trine the True Moon’s Node on November 7th, 2018, at the tail-end of the sign.

Jupiter in Scorpio (October 2017 to November 2018) and Business/Career For greater success in your career or business, be committed, intense, perceptive, and passionate about what you do. In career, invest in your resourcefulness, particularly as you’re able to employ others’ talents and resources creatively and effectively. More focus on change, improvement, and passion in your promotional materials and products or services can be successful. Teaming up with a business partner whose talents and resources complement yours well can be beneficial.

Jupiter in Scorpio (October 2017 to November 2018) and Relationships/Love For greater success in love and relationship while Jupiter transits Scorpio, showcase your committed, passionate, magnetic, powerful, and sensual qualities. We tend to value intimacy more than usual during this transit. As with Jupiter in Libra, there can be more coupling and breakups during this period. Improvements to relationships now can involve some breaking down of existing structures and intensive work on self-improvement. We’re not impressed or patient with flakiness and care less about social or financial standing than we do character and integrity. This can be a time for embracing and exploring our sexuality and some adventurousness on intimate levels.

Jupiter in Scorpio Ephemeris (Monthly)

Jupiter spends over a year (almost thirteen months) in Scorpio. The last time Jupiter transited Scorpio was from October 2005 to November 2006. What we started during this period is now enjoying a Jupiter return, so that it might blossom, increase, or require adjustments in order to grow further. Before that period, Jupiter was in Scorpio from November 1993 to December 1994, and from November 1981 to December 1982. If you have Jupiter in Scorpio in your natal chart, then you are enjoying a Jupiter return.

Jupiter Transiting Scorpio Horoscopes: What it Means for Each Sign

In a general sense, this is how Jupiter’s transit through Scorpio affects the different Sun signs (and Ascendant signs):

Aries

From October 10th, 2017, forward, Jupiter transits your solar eighth house and there is a wonderful, refreshing new focus on your private world or intimate life – a possible deepening of a relationship, or an increased understanding of your inner workings. Your intimate life enlarges and expands, bringing you more joy and new discoveries. During this cycle, you learn to embrace inner change in order to feel more empowered. There may be more opportunities to find support, financial and/or emotional, but you should be wary of living on credit and borrowing too heavily from the future.

This influence is with you until November 8th, 2018, and it’s time to grab opportunities that help you to feel empowered and on top of your life. Conversations are deep and lead to fruitful discoveries. Sexuality is richer. There can be benefits and support coming your way through or from others, whether it’s money back from the government, an easier time getting loans or mortgages, an increase in a partner’s income, or an inheritance of something valuable. Combining your resources, talents, and/or money with those of a partner can improve your financial outlook. You might also benefit from managing others’ resources and talents without the “teaming up” part.

These things can be related to travel, belief systems, publishing, education, or promotion since Jupiter rules these matters in your solar chart. You might find that you’re doing more research in order to advance your personal interests or drawing upon others’ talents or resources with a view to working towards an important goal related to publishing, teaching, and sharing. For some, this can be a time of evolving and transforming beliefs, opinions, and ideologies. There may be a metamorphosis of sorts related to expanding your interests and reach. This can be a time of financial expansion as well — making money through teaching, blogging, and promoting, for example.

Potential negatives: Taking on too much debt or relying too heavily on others for support. In December especially, you would be wise to avoid excesses that can negatively impact your personal income and watch for the accumulation of shared debt. It will be imperative to use caution when it comes to lending and borrowing at this time.

Otherwise, it’s a strong period for opening yourself up to someone you trust, counseling, and for feeling more confident about your emotional depths. This is a period when you can quite successfully purge yourself of some of your inner demons, guilt, and buried psychological problems.

While there can be some reality checks at times, from December to August is an exceptionally strong period for intimacy and psychological growth. Imaginative activities or behind the scenes efforts can be rewarding, either (or both) spiritually and materially. Generosity and compassion increase and your faith receives a boost. You more easily make personal sacrifices for what you believe to be the better good. From January to September 2018, you are in an empowered position with your work, reputation, career, and responsibilities as Jupiter forms a harmonious aspect to Pluto in your career and reputation sector. You may connect with the right people to further your goals now, or an investment pays off. You’re likely to feel particularly determined and motivated to reach your goals.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar eighth house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Taurus

Jupiter transits Scorpio and your solar seventh house from October 10th, 2017, to November 8th, 2018, and your relationships receive a boost of forward-moving energy. This cycle that lasts almost thirteen months helps you succeed in partnership.

Your partnerships, relating abilities, and powers of negotiation begin to grow and expand. New partnership opportunities (yes, even plural) can arrive now, or the chance to bring fresh energy to an existing committed relationship emerges. Relationships entered into now are generally successful and happy — at least for the time being, they are mutually beneficial. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief, or it is a “blessing in disguise.” Meeting someone better for you at this point in your life may be a reason for this, although it’s important not to jump into something new blindly. Your ability to get along with others is enhanced as you are especially willing to compromise, and you are more appealing than usual.

The positive potentials of this transit are many: You can negotiate more successfully, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled amicably as well. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your career has you working with or before the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, particularly if you do counseling or negotiating in your job. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, difficult relationships may be absolved, and/or successful new ones are entered into during this period.

Jupiter rules your sector of intimacy, shared assets, and transformation. Any of these things can be tied with partnerships during this time. A romantic or business partnership could form through connections you make in your pursuit of lifestyle changes, or a lifestyle change/makeover may result from a collaboration. A partnership may strengthen as you combine and merge your resources. For some, there can be a sudden partnership that becomes intimate quickly.

This can also be a time when shared beliefs, interests, and ideologies are a focal point in a close relationship. For some, a significant person comes into your life with common educational goals or belief systems, possibly through long-distance connections, schools, or publishing/online activities. For many of you, you are attracting people who want to help, who are on your side, and who take a strong interest in you.

Potential negatives: You may be attracting partners who are more concerned with freedom than with pairing, or who seem to be quite extravagant or full of themselves. There could be troubles associated with an existing partner’s extravagance or demand for freedom, and you might feel this from time to time beginning in December. There can be difficulties merging assets and dealing with power dynamics in your relationships. You’ll get a chance to work through conflicts of interests and overload as you move into 2017.

However, for the most part, you are likely to enjoy an improved social life during this cycle. You learn a lot through your experiences and interactions with an important “other.” From December to August, you are in an excellent opportunity period for taking advantage of the benefits of this influence. Alliances might be made, and partnering matters run smoothly. Friendships become very cozy for some of you, and a spirit of friendship can figure strongly in a partnership. A partnership can be a source of inspiration, and the realization of a long-term dream or goal seems more likely now through the support or positivity of a friend/partner. People coming into your life can be creative, artistic, or inspire your creativity. There can be increased compassion and warmth in a relationship now. From January to September 2018, partnering up can help advance your goals. This is a powerful time for one-to-one relationships, which can open up a whole new world to you. Some of you will have opportunities for higher learning, travel, or other mind-expanding experiences with or through a partner.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Gemini

While Jupiter transits Scorpio and your solar sixth house from October 10th, 2017, forward, your work, daily routines, and health endeavors expand, improve, and grow. This is a time when your work projects or duties are in positive focus, or you have increased opportunities for employment. You can be so confident in your ability to take on projects and endeavors, however, that you overload your plate, so do watch for that. This influence is with you until November 8th, 2018.

You find more joy in your work (as long as you don’t overload), self-improvement endeavors, and taking care of your health during this cycle. If you provide a service to others, it is likely to prosper, largely because you’re enjoying it more. You are especially successful in hiring people to work for you, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. It can be easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle or significantly improve an existing one. Work tends to be very available to you. You can be very focused on what really matters to get ahead, and recognition for your efforts may be forthcoming, particularly from December forward, when higher-ups recognize your talents and efforts.

You are proud of how useful you are to others during this cycle. The more integrity and honesty you bring to your services, the more “payback” you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more likely to be successful. You are bringing fresh and original ideas to the work you do and the services you offer. Overload or the magnification of problems surrounding work can be experienced during this cycle. There is a tendency now to focus on the details of your work, and you might sometimes feel a little overwhelmed with monotonous tasks. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your sweet tooth.

Your work might involve more services or the assisting of others during this cycle, and for some, health-related or healing professions can be attractive at this time.

Challenges may occur sporadically from December, when there can be vague health issues, the need for time away from your duties either to take care of yourself or of others requiring care, or the consequences of taking on so much that you have trouble taking time for yourself.

However, for the most part, this is an excellent time for gaining appreciation for what you do or for your skills, for finding work, and for working relationships. This is particularly the case from December to August, when there is powerfully creative, generous energy with you for matters related to your career and reputation. This can be a spiritually rich period as well. A vocation or life path/direction may seem to magically fall into place during this period.

Partnership is closely tied to work and health during this period, which can mean you are partnering up to work or improve your health or you meet a significant other through your work or through the pursuit of health goals. Motivation or opportunities to work may come through a relationship. For some, you may be providing counseling services in your work.

An excellent period for extensive study, investigation, research, or skills development occurs from January to September 2018.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Cancer

Jupiter’s transit of Scorpio puts Jupiter in your solar fifth house from October 10th, 2017, to November 8th, 2017. During this transit, your creative, playful, and romantic side expands and grows. This is a powerful time for self-expression, new forms of entertainment, and romantic explorations.

Your focus turns to having a fun time, enjoying life, and expressing yourself in freeing, rewarding ways. Your romantic and creative worlds expand and grow. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and you are more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so!

Romantic opportunities tend to abound during this cycle; or chances to kick back and have fun, express yourself in unique ways, and pursue hobbies and entertainment are abundant. Creatively speaking, you can be filled with ideas and plans for realizing a dream.

This can be a fertile time on many levels, physically and emotionally. This position is associated with casual dating and exploring romantic possibilities.

This enhancing, supportive influence is with you for just over a year. It’s an excellent time to explore creative hobbies, the arts, and new forms of entertainment and expression. There may be a new or increased focus on children in your life.

Potential negatives: Excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments. Throughout this transit, you may need to come to a balance between attention to work and health routines and attention to romantic and creative needs.

However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident. Stronger times for all of these matters occur starting in from December to August when creative expression and imagination are especially powerful. Matters of the heart can be magical. There can be wonderful connections made through travel or educational endeavors or through shared adventures. A lover, child, or friend can open your mind or heart to new experiences. Creatively speaking, you can be well-received and your audience is likely to expand. Your sense of drama expands now, as well. From January to September 2018, partnerships and romantic relationships move to a new level. It’s an excellent time for pairing up.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Leo

Jupiter is now transiting your solar fourth house, and from October 10th, 2017, to November 8th, 2018, you are more confident about your family, living arrangements, and living conditions. While this is a rather domestic transit, relationships with anyone you feel especially connected with emotionally can benefit. You are comfortable with your position, and you may be building loving and secure connections with others. There can be special attention to the comfort and beauty of your home or a stronger desire to connect with your roots. There is a stronger ability to bounce back from problems.

Your inner world, family life, domestic activities, and domestic arrangements expand and grow. Relations with family can be especially pleasant and supportive. You might move to a new home, likely a bigger one, or expand real estate holdings. Some of you can get a mortgage or support that allows you to expand your home base. Family itself can expand, or there might be an addition to your home. Some might take on a roommate for example, or bring more friends to their home. Others might pool resources with a partner and move in together. Entertaining in the home can be emphasized if that is something that makes you happy. Otherwise, you can experience a stronger sense of peace and privacy in your home life.

Because Jupiter is the natural ruler of your solar fifth house of entertainment, children, creativity, and romance, home life can be rich for developing your creative side and for exploring hobbies and other forms of entertainment. There may be an expanded family experience now. There can also be a strong desire to express your creativity through attention to the home and domestic pursuits.

Generally speaking, more positive energy is brought to your domestic world, and long-standing problems with family might be put to bed. Do be careful about overextending yourself with home improvements, or larger accommodations that are beyond your means. Your personal life tends to overshadow your professional life or material activities during this cycle. Relationships with family can improve significantly now, although pre-existing problems might be magnified initially.

This can be a good time to set up a home business or for home studies.

On a more psychological level, confidence in yourself and feelings of security increase during this period.

Potential problems: Excessive money spent on home improvement, too much emphasis on the home to the point that other areas of your life suffer, or some unwillingness to expand your horizons. Avoiding or escaping responsibilities may be a problem from time to time. You may be wanting to please too many people, and overdoing things leaves you exhausted, as it seems there is never enough time and energy to meet all your needs. However, starting in December, there is an excellent influence on you that helps you to strengthen and make the most out of the positive effects of this transit. There may be increased resources available to you for improving your home life.

For the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. This is a time of nest-feathering. It’s a strong time for psychotherapy and purging as you are willing to look at the root of problems. It’s a good time for long-term financial planning and strengthening your financial picture through some form of pooling of resources. There can be more power and resources available to you to establish yourself, especially through a home or property, but also for long-term business endeavors.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fourth house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Virgo

Jupiter’s transit of Scorpio puts this benefic planet in your solar third house from October 10th, 2017, to November 8th, 2018, and you are ready to take on big projects. Your confidence in the future is very strong during this cycle that is with you until November 2018.

During this transit, your communications increase and expand. Your ability and desire to express yourself is greater now, and your personal interests grow. Good fortune with vehicles, transportation, through siblings, and with the communications industry can be experienced during this cycle. You are more perceptive, and others are more receptive to your ideas. New opportunities to communicate can open up to you. This can be a busy period for learning and can also be a time of setting up a more connected home environment.

Fun things can happen close to home and in your neighborhood. It’s a time to explore, take short trips, and exercise your already strong ability to be adaptable and flexible. Exploring or sharing your ideas, such as through journaling or blogging, can be beneficial. Opportunities may arise through emails, phone calls, and while running errands.

Potential negatives: Taking on too many daily activities, communications, new interests, and learning endeavors or studies can be a problem now. Don’t overload your plate. Responsibilities to family and around the home can be great at times this year and can prevent you from getting everything done. There can be a real tendency to want to do it all, forgetting your limits in terms of time and energy. Taking on too many projects or becoming too entrenched in details can cause problems.

However, for the most part, you are likely to enjoy more opportunities through your communications and contact with others during this cycle in 2017-2018. You could feel especially motivated to pursue your personal interests and to connect with a partner, particularly from December. This is a good time for sharing your ideas, writing, pursuing a cause, and joining a cause.

You might find that you travel less and that you are busier local. Your thinking is more upbeat, positive, and forward-looking, and so is the way you express yourself. In fact, this is an excellent time for improving your communication skills and your general attitude or mindset. There can be important opportunities through meetings, courses, teaching, and connections made in the neighborhood or through siblings. Some problems with siblings or neighbors could be put to rest now, although they might be magnified initially in order for problem areas to come out into the open and finally be resolved. Some of you might return to school or take some courses.

There can be increased communications with siblings, relatives, and family in general during this period. You could be finding that transportation options now available make life a little more enjoyable.

Creatively speaking, you’re on fire from January to September 2018. Technical expertise increases, and this boosts your creative projects or work significantly. You’re more confident than ever about expressing yourself, whether verbally or through your creations.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar third house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Libra

From October 10th, 2017, until November 8th, 2018, Jupiter transits your resources sector, and 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 major or bigger decisions than usual about your material resources during this period.

This cycle that will be in influence until November 2018 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 throughout this period.

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 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, and to your practical affairs, including work. Writing and teaching or other communications or transportation fields can add to your income during this period. Home improvement efforts are brilliant and rewarding from January to September 2018. From December to August, things seem to almost magically fall into place regarding income, work, and services. Your instincts for money and health are excellent. Even so, watch that money doesn’t slip through your fingers too easily now.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar second house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Scorpio

Jupiter entering Scorpio on October 10th, 2017, puts this planet of growth and expansion in your solar first house, Scorpio. From October 2017 to November 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 see 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 new transit 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 starting 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. Until mid-December, 2017, this coincides with a Saturn transit to this sector, so that there may be some restrictions or buckling down involved with these areas of life as well, after which there is an easier flow. 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 contribute to bringing 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 present yourself more joyfully and confidently. People love to be around you during this cycle, wanting to soak up the good vibes.

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 to August is particularly strong for creative and romantic endeavors. There is a magical quality to your personal appeal as well as your creative works! This is a personally popular period. You have a dignified and perhaps mysterious manner, and your style stands out as unique. You can excel in the arts. From January to September 2018, you are especially magnetic, and you’re likely to make real progress in studies, communications, teaching, guiding, and connecting. This is a great time for picking up useful and profitable skills, publishing, and for gaining a following or audience.

This is a powerful thirteen-month period for improving your image and healing problems related to personal confidence, appearance, image, and creativity.

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.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar first house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Sagittarius

Jupiter entering Scorpio on October 10th, 2017, puts Jupiter in your solar twelfth house for thirteen months. Until November 2018, your spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance expand and grow. This is a period for looking within and learning of your inner strength. It’s also a time for appreciating some level of solitude.

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 lasts until November 2018 when Jupiter will enter your sign and you are ready to share yourself more fully with the world.

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 your sign’s ruler in the sector of your chart that rules private matters, anonymity, healing, and endings, particularly also with Saturn in your sign until mid-December 2017, this is one of the more withdrawn, reflective periods of your life. You may be exploring the hidden elements of life or developing your spirituality now.

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

Potential challenges: 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 as well as 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. Beginning in December in particular, there can be some strains on mental and physical health.

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, and you can build your confidence in yourself as you help and support others. An influence from December to August is particularly supportive of these things. This can be a period for developing your psychic abilities and understanding your family connections more intuitively. Another supportive influence from January to September 2018 supports money-making endeavors. You’re in good shape for making more out of what you have or for reviving an old project and transforming it into something currently worthwhile, and possibly profitable, as well!

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar twelfth house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Capricorn

Jupiter entering Scorpio on October 10th puts this planet of growth and expansion in your solar eleventh house, Capricorn. From October 2017 to November 2018, your connections to others, group associations, and friendships expand and grow.

This is a time for feeling considerably more confident about the future, and about your ability to set plans in motion that will allow you to accomplish some of your most cherished hopes and dreams.

It’s a time when you are filled with ideas about the future. You are planting seeds, so to speak, aiming to get started on projects that will reap rewards in the future. While this can be exciting, try not to take on more than you can handle. Your vision is quite optimistic, and you might over-estimate what you are capable of doing down the road! However, one or two projects can be inspiring and also quite innovative.

With more contact with others, whether it’s about an expanded in-person group of connections or online, you are sure to come up with new ideas and to be inspired. Others can point you in new directions. There can be a cause that you work towards enthusiastically. A new communications project can excite you and bring you into contact with interesting, helpful people. Business income should increase.

This can be a time of budding friendships and/or group involvements. New people may come into your life and seek out your friendship, or existing friendships may be refreshed or enhanced. Opportunities to advance or for new learning experiences can come through associates, friendships, and networking.

Potential challenges: Over-emphasis on activities that take you away from your practical responsibilities, too often. There may be difficulties with a romantic partner or children who may be at odds with the energy and time you are pouring into your friendships and causes, there can be challenges related to home and family, and problems funding your dreams and plans, particularly in late November and late December.

However, for the most part, you are likely to take advantage of this period in your life in order to expand your social life and friends base and to dream up exciting new paths for the future. Some of you could be meeting a partner through a friend, partnering with a friend, or enjoying improved relations with a friend or associate, particularly from December to August. This is a powerful period for imaginative interactions and communications. Your ideas are inspired and inspiring. Especially from January to September 2018, you are going over very well with friends and associates. People can help you get where you want to go. Networking can help further your goals exponentially. The desire for more personal significance can motivate you to devote your time to a group or cause.

This can also be a wonderful time for joining groups, reaching out to others, following up on leads, connecting with friends of friends, and pursuing a dream or happiness goal more wholeheartedly and confidently.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar eleventh house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Aquarius

Jupiter transits the top of your solar chart from October 2017 forward, Aquarius. Your ambitions, career, business goals, and reputation grow and develop. Your talents and skills are recognized now like never before. All of the hard work you’ve put in begins to pay off and is rewarded – or, at the very least, recognized. This influence will be with you until November 2018.

You are in the limelight in some way during this cycle. Although it’s a great period for expansion and recognition on a professional level, and you should take advantage of it, choose your projects carefully. Don’t take on more than you can handle. Watch also for gossip or mishandling of information. Be wary of situations that could get blown out of proportion or misunderstood.

This can be a time of significant progress in the outer world, a fortunate change in status, and increased recognition.

Your hard work and effort can be recognized now. There is an interesting connection going on with Saturn, one of your rulers, in Sagittarius, and Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, in the house of Saturn until December 2017. Teaching or guiding may be connected with your career now. Your services or charity may come before the public eye. Some of you could be working on a project behind the scenes that now is ready to be shared.

You could find yourself in a position that truly suits you during this cycle. You can take great pride in the work you do. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now. You can be quite charismatic in a position of authority or responsibility. Advancement in achieving an important goal can occur now. Your reputation may be enhanced in some significant way. You have more faith in your goals and aspirations during this period of your life.

This is a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities to you.

For the most part, you are likely to take advantage of this period in your life in order to expand your reach. From December forward you are in a particularly great position for practical matters, business, and financial improvement. You may be joining with people who further your career or personal interests, and through their support, faith in you, or wisdom, you are encouraged to reach your highest potential. There can be almost magical dealings with money and career growth. Especially from January to September 2018, you are in an excellent position to draw upon hidden strengths and talents, experience, and wisdom to advance your goals.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar tenth house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.

Pisces

Jupiter transits your solar ninth house from October 10, 2017, until November 8, 2017, Pisces, and your belief systems, learning experiences, and hunger for adventure grow and expand at a rapid pace. You are feeling more courageous and spirited, and you sense that there is more “out there” for you to learn and take in.

This is a time in your life when you don’t sweat the small stuff as much. You see the broader perspective on life, and you generally feel supported, so that smaller inconveniences don’t stress you out quite as easily. Your positive outlook is notable during this cycle. Learn as much as you can now, in preparation for the next cycle beginning in November 2018 that puts your career on center stage. You’ll want to be prepared!

Your views on life itself in a broad sense are changing, growing, and maturing. Connections with faraway cultures, people, or a broader knowledge base can open up opportunities to grow personally. Teaching and sharing knowledge can be in strong focus. It’s a good time for publishing, writing, and media.

You might consider fine-tuning your talents and skills with higher education or experience during this thirteen-month cycle.

New learning experiences as well as “life” experiences (travel, adventures, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth) are likely to emerge. Over the course of the coming year, you might have the opportunity to reach a broader audience. You might choose to learn a new language or take on other interesting studies.

This can be a time when you make friends in faraway places or who have vastly different backgrounds or perspectives than you and who enrich your life during this empowering cycle. This can also be a time of traveling for business or teaching and guiding in your career.

This can be a powerful time for opportunities to expand your experiences and to impress others as well, particularly from December forward. Some of you could meet a fun friend or a romantic interest through travel or other activity that involves breaking the regular routine. Publishing can be in focus. Communications thrive. Publishing or self-publishing can figure strongly now and can be quite successful. Teaching, guiding, and learning are also big themes. This can be a time of tremendous personal appeal as well as life-changing, positive experiences that expand your mind.

There can be almost magical dealings with others through networking, connecting, friends, groups, and associates. Especially from January to September 2018, you are in an excellent position to connect with people who help expand your mind, experiences, and audience. Connections made through publishing, travel, and networks can be fortunate.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar ninth house, from October 10th, 2017, to March 8th, 2017, and then from July 10th, 2018, to November 8th, 2018.
