Discover fresh energy and growth as Jupiter enters Scorpio

Jupiter is a lucky, helpful planet. Jupiter’s path through the sky provides clues as to how and where you’re ready to grow. On October 10, 2017, Jupiter enters transformative Scorpio for a 12-month cycle that brings fresh energy around growth and expansion, and indicates we’re all ready for progress and insights in new areas of life.

The cycle of Jupiter takes 12 years, so it’s only once in that longer period that Jupiter visits each zodiac sign. The opportunities you encounter while Jupiter tours Scorpio have been 12 years in the making.

The inner growth around appreciating your value can boost your confidence in all areas of life.

Scorpio is the deepest, most insightful of all the signs. As a water sign, Scorpio is sensitive, private and loyal. It’s also a fixed sign, which means it can be slow to initiate change. However, once planets in Scorpio set their mind to something they’ll see it through till the end.

A sign of strategy and profound curiosity, Scorpio always wants to know more. Planets in Scorpio help you dig deep into your true motivations and can help you clarify hidden fears. Healing treatments of all kinds can be especially effective during this cycle.

Abundance and fertility

Jupiter in Scorpio offers rewards after a period of great effort, or once you’ve gone through a period of intense and cathartic growth. It’s also about the deep joy that comes from loyalty and trust.

During the Jupiter-in-Scorpio cycle you’ll have opportunities to leave behind old wounds and pain, and to deepen your sense of self. As you get in touch with your most authentic needs and emotional cravings, you’ll be more motivated to live and act in a way that truly feeds your soul.

Both Jupiter and Scorpio are associated with fertility, so this pairing may inspire a mini baby boom. However, fertility is not just about conception and birth: it also describes welcome growth and highlights this period as a time of abundance. This abundance may be financial, but it’s just as likely to be emotional and inspirational. You may discover an abundance of desire that drives you forward, or connect with the emotional energy you need to commit to a dream.
