Jupiter in Scorpio: Transforming Shadow Into Light + Horoscopes

---

As the planet of expansion, satwa (purity) and akasha (space), Jupiter brings us knowledge and wisdom as well as new awareness. The Sanskrit name for Jupiter is guru (teacher), expressing the support and nourishment he provides. As Jupiter moves around the zodiac, he sparks learning and growth through wisdom, guidance, support and resources. Whatever he touches, he expands- which may feel helpful or uncomfortable at times.

On October 11th, 2018, Jupiter moves to sidereal Scorpio and will be here until November 4th, 2019. Rahu gives his gaze to Jupiter until March 7th of 2019, intensifying the themes of this transit for the first portion of the journey. When Rahu touches Jupiter, he brings shadow to the purity of the guru. This can bring even more increase and excess, tainting the wisdom and support of Jupiter with worldly, foreign, unusual and impure experiences.

Jupiter transits are roughly one year long and impact all levels of wisdom, knowledge, comfort and support. He leads you to your dharmic path and supports the nourishment gained along the way. Positive effects of Jupiter  bring comfort, support and understanding. He brings learning through greater awareness and expansion of consciousness- which of course is not always comfortable. He is the ultimate teacher (for better or worse) providing some of the most poignant life lessons.

Challenges with Jupiter include lack of support, knowledge, and dharma. When Jupiter is not strong in the chart, there may be little to no support offered, few resources or missed opportunities. Everyone can benefit from the helpful and supportive resources that Jupiter provides. However, without his support, challenges and struggles increase- which often bring tragedy, trauma and chaos.

As the guru, he represents teachers of all sorts- including coaches, healers, guides, mentors, therapists, wisdom keepers and shaman. Receiving the blessings of Jupiter requires that you allow the nourishment and wisdom of this type of support to be received. Negative influences upon Jupiter in the jyotish chart, will create challenging experiences with teachers and a resistance to knowledge and wisdom. Whereas positive influences upon Jupiter in the jyotish chart will offer nourishing and supportive experiences with teachers, wisdom and guides.

If Jupiter is a naturally benefic or positive planet in your chart, this transit will bring natural gains, expansion and support in the areas of depth, awareness, transformation and healing. There will be new insights with death, depth, darkness and hardship. This cycle may support the integration and deeper awareness of past suffering and struggle. However, If Jupiter is challenging in your jyotish chart, expect difficulties in these areas of your life to surface. You may not be able to hear the wisdom arriving or you may stay stuck in old patterns and behaviors that increase your struggles.

Scorpio is not a surface level sign. It requires (and often forces) one to dig below the mundane, surface level of understanding. For those unwilling or unfamiliar with this type of depth, it can be painful and downright terrifying! This transit will require you to look at your shadows, unconscious inner terrain and acknowledge your undigested grief.

The 8th sign of the zodiac, Scorpio, correlates with the 8th house- house of the unseen, hidden forces at play in life. I relate this house to our animal body, ripe with emotion, passion, feelings and unconscious awareness. Willingness to dive into your depths and shadows will help this transit move more smoothly and support deeper healing and transformation.

Scorpio and the 8th house of death, is one of our greatest teachers we can encounter. The depth of the 8th house shows us our fears, losses, disease and those things that we try to avoid because of certain pain and misery. It is associated with vulnerabilities, the past and the future, sex, mysticism, the private parts and excretory organs. The letting go, releasing of the known, the surrender of past and present, the depths of life that go way beyond the surface of life. It's a sign and a house that can not (and should not) be avoided.

On the positive spectrum of things, the 8th house is linked to transformations and transcendence, as well as mystical and occult knowledge. It is also deeply connected to our sexual nature. When life gets tough, we naturally get tougher; which is the essence of the eighth house. It forces us to surrender. To disarm and let go. Through our suffering, we are determined to change, re-direct ourselves, to rise above and move out of the trenches.

The eight house is indeed hidden, unseen, and thus relates to the unseen and hidden realms- both internally and externally. Our pain after all is solely connected to our shadow. A Scorpio is determined to shed its shadowed self which is why Ketu (the "planet" of liberation and moksha) is considered exalted here.

Use this cycle to liberate yourself from addictions, rather than getting stuck in them. Addictions of all kinds may come to the surface in the year ahead- depending on how this transit impacts you. Are you actively looking at your shadows, wounds and struggles? Or are you avoiding, negating and suppressing them?

Addictions are a mechanism of avoidance, numbing and suppression. This prolongs our suffering. Until we are ready to lean closer to our shadows, wounds and grief, and use them as a resource for our awakening, the darkness continues to control us unconsciously. Don't get stuck! Be sure you have plenty of support in this cycle- more than you think you need.

In the year ahead, gather the necessary resources, support and guidance to transform your inner darkness, grief and pain. This can be a powerful cycle of healing and transformation, but it will require that you are proactive and not complacent.

Depending on where Scorpio sits in your chart, there may or may not be mitigating factors. I will share general guidelines for each sign in my horoscopes below.

Find time for more spiritual pursuits and seek a deeper understanding for your life. You will use this new wisdom in the next cycle. Trust the process.

Taurus: Jupiter moves through your 7th house in this cycle. Relationships expand and become the focus of your learning and growth. They require your willingness to gather new resources and support so that you can transform the challenges into wisdom. Allow your relationships to grow with you and don't get stuck in old patterns, behaviors and unconscious choices. The mirror of the "other" will be stronger at this time. Don't get overwhelmed or lose hope! Depending on your natal Jupiter, this transit can bring positive changes in relationships. For some people, this cycle could provoke a marriage or meeting a new partner. It could support new business connections and clients.

Gemini: This cycle can be a great time for healing and resolving conflicts- within your self and with others. As Jupiter moves through your 6th house, pay attention to the gut and be mindful of digestion. You may notice sluggishness or constipation.

These are important messages for your growth and healing process. Allow spirit and the ancestors to support your expanded awareness and ask for more messages and resources. Saturn continues to move through your upper gut, the 5th house. Watch for constipation and undigested emotion showing up in the solar plexus. Be diligent with clearing the grief in your gut so you can experience the empowerment of your new emotional wisdom. Lighten up and lighten your load. Let in the joy and pleasure arriving.

Virgo: It's time to get creative and self express! Jupiter is transiting through your 3rd house of the arts and writing. He will support you with your artistry through dance, music, painting, drawing and writing. Gather new resources and support and be open to trying new things. Share your learning and wisdom with others and use your skills as a part of your dharmic offering. There is important wisdom arriving with your life purpose. Are you paying attention and taking action to support this? Expand your courage and creativity in the year ahead. Let relationships support your growth and expansion and ask for more of what you need. Gains and growth come when you let go and release. Purge and clear the emotional body and heart. Make space for more of what you want and need. As Saturn continues to move through your heart, the 4th house, be diligent with undigested grief that is clogging your heart center. This impacts your ability to receive the nourishment you crave. Ask for more support with this process or releasing grief.

Libra: Scorpio is your second house and Jupiter here supports expansion with wealth, nourishment and abundance. Watch out for over indulgence and overspending. Use this time to clean up your diet, speech and money habits. Depending on your relationship with Jupiter, this can be a very powerful time for increased nourishment, or it can provoke overconsumption and excesses that lead to more struggle and harm. Speak your truth, find your voice, clarify your needs and sing your songs! Saturn in your 3rd house is asking your to simplify and stabilize yourself without extravagance. Don't lose sight of this as Jupiter shifts into your mouth and wealth house. You are what you eat. Be diligent with your food, habits and behaviors. Watch your gut health and don't over eat- especially sweets, heavy foods and alcohol. Put your new found expansion into your life offering. Be visible and let your words help you get seen and noticed.

Scorpio: This is your year to shine! Jupiter in your 1st house is one of the most expansive and powerful cycles you can experience. It's time to ask for more, expand what is possible for yourself and your life! Take calculated risks to meet your biggest goals. Relationships will support your expansion, as will children, romance, pleasure and empowerment. Use your positive past life credits to do more good in the world and align with more dharmic pursuits. Step into your zone of genius and be your own authority. It's time to rise and shine, honor your wisdom and share your gifts with the world. Whatever you do, don't play small. As positive as this transit is, it will still require your usual Scorpio diligence. Get new support, extra support and strengthen your team of resources. Don't let your ego get away with itself and don't lose sight of your goals. Life may feel easier, but don't get lazy or complacent. Watch addictive patterns and overindulgence. Remember, it's ok to be in right relationship with joy, pleasure and nourishment. Enjoy!

Sagittarius: This is a very spiritual cycle for you. Jupiter is activating a need for retreat and alone time as he moves through your 12th house. Endings are taking place, preparing you for beginnings coming next. Be diligent with the release process. Let go and purge what no longer serves you. Ask the ancestors for help with this process. Spend ample time alone in meditation and contemplation. Resource from within and let your heart guide you to clarity. Expansion at home and within your heart is possible at this time. Support this inner growth and keep your digestion clear. Watch for stagnation and constipation in stomach. Use this time to access your depth and deepen your healing process. Ask for more support, guidance and resources. You will need extra people on your support team at this time. This is not a cycle of material gain, however great spiritual strides can take place.

Capricorn: With Jupiter in your 11th house of gains, expansion and increase is inevitable- if you are willing to allow for losses and letting go as well. Making space for the gains is a prerequisite. What are you releasing and purging? How much space do you have for what you truly want and need? Are you consciously attending to the waning cycles and letting go of what no longer serves you? Clean and clear your holding container. Let the new arrive and move towards the nourishment. Use your creativity and self expression to attract and align. Children, playfulness, romance and empowerment are arriving. Are you ready to receive this abundance? Relationships continue to get your focus. Put in the effort to grieve losses and attend to the shadows coming forth. Ask your ancestors to support you in this process. They are asking you to transform this grief and prepare for something else.

Aquarius: Your 10th house of career and offering is about to get a powerful dose of expansion. Are you ready to grow into your offering and share in even bigger and bolder ways? Jupiter will be asking you to teach, guide and share your wisdom more visibly. This is not a time to play small or resist your visibility. Are you ready to expand your focus, your goals and your vision? Where are you avoiding or negating your power and success? Jupiter is very spiritual, however the 10th house is very worldly. You may experience some conflicts with both. Saturn in your 11th house is supporting calculated gains- with the release of old, outworn patterns and behaviors. Focus on increasing nourishment, support, finances and abundance, but watch your spending habits and food habits. Your gut health and digestion is requesting your attention and intention. Heal your body through your stomach and attend to undigested emotions and grief. This Jupiter transit will support heart and home expansion. Let your emotional body be your guide and teacher.

Pisces: This is one of the most powerful transits of Jupiter for you! Jupiter is your ruling planet and he will be moving through your 9th house of dharma, considered the most auspicious house of the chart. The support of the guru can guide you from this position and offer increased resources and wisdom to help you clarify and refine your dharmic path and purpose. Depending on your relationship with Jupiter, the guru may be sattvic, rajasic or more tamasic, but either way there will be immense growth and transformation as a result. Protection comes from this house so enjoy the blessings of its resources and support. Self expansion and growth comes with more ease. Be courageous and creative. Use your creativity as a spiritual resource. How can this support you with your dharmic work? Children, romance, intuition and empowerment bring more growth and abundance. Let these resources support your healing process. Saturn is still moving through your 10th house. You may not receive the material gains just yet, but patience will work its magic on you. Stay true to course and keep gathering what you need for greater nourishment.
