Jupiter's Transit through Scorpio

Jupiter enters Scorpio on October 25th, 2005 and stays in this fixed water sign until November 23rd, 2006.

Jupiter's effects are to expand our experiences, our knowledge, and our understanding. It represents optimism, growth, generosity, and abundance. In Libra Jupiter expanded our awareness of our partnerships, the need to slip into the shoes of our partners, and our diplomacy skills. Scorpio's focus is, of course, different than Libra's area of expertise.

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 "extras" 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 on an emotional level, 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 is 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 are able to rise above pettiness, mundane concerns, inconveniences, and the like. Where Jupiter is currently transiting in your own chart is generally where you are inclined to find your "joy".
