October 10, 2017. This is the day Jupiter bids farewell to the lovely Libra and enters the formidable Scorpio. Every 12 to 13 years, Jupiter shifts to a new sign, teaching us to expand according to the ways of that sign. This growth cycle helps us gain a different perspective to help us realize our potential and leave behind those that no longer serve us.
The signs are the way by which the planet expresses itself- the how in a situation. Scorpio’s way is the way of transformation and of healing. This is no easy sign because Scorpio, ruled by Mars and Pluto, governs death and action. She cuts to the chase and gets to the heart of the matter. She is the detective, the hypnotist, in love with the mysterious. With Jupiter in this sign, no secret will go unexplored. It is time to face our darkness and awaken from the illusions that have blinded us.
Jupiter in Scorpio: October 10, 2017- November 8, 2018
The horoscope applies to both your sun and rising sign so check both when reading. I hope you find wisdom in these readings. Feel free to take what serves you and leave the rest behind.
