The post Planetary news this week! Jupiter in Scorpio and Venus in Libra appeared first on Astrology readings and writings by Lynn Hayes.
This post is the extract from a book I’ll be releasing very soon about Jupiter transits. It’s a longer post than usual – hello, it’s
Jupiter’s transit of Scorpio (October 10th, 2017 – November 8th, 2018) will take expansion to a new level. The sign associated with sex, death, taboos and transformation will be hit with a depth charge. All sorts of dark stuff will rise to the surface. Internal growth will be the theme – the growth of buried issues, secrets and inner power.
Scorpio is about extremes. Is ___ forbidden? Great! Scorpio wants the truth that lies beyond the fears, and sometimes this means burning the whole thing to the ground and rising from the ashes. Ultimately, Scorpio wants you to come out stronger, because you’ve faced The Worst. You gain power by losing it – you confront your limits, allow something to die, and become empowered by moving through the whole experience and learning from it. Jupiter may initially expand The Worst, so you can no longer deny it. You’ll be taken to your limit, as Jupiter encourages addiction, obsession or destructive behaviour.
Problems will arise if you get stuck in the “burn it down” phase. If you don’t have a strategy for moving on, Jupiter in Scorpio can become the whirlpool that sucks you in.
However, for some, there may be no showdown with the Shadow, just a massive hit of success based on some previously intelligent moves (regarding finances or security needs). Scorpio is about resourcefulness, and when its energy is used properly, there can be an increase (Jupiter) in personal power.
Many people associate Taurus with all money matters, but Scorpio is about what you share with others. This includes other people’s money. So this transit may bring big financial gains or losses. How have you been spending/investing, in the context of what you owe or share? Does someone else hold the purse strings?
And of course, Scorpio is about sex. More precisely, merging with another. What is gained or lost during intimacy (including control) will be important. This transit may bring more sex. But. Will more sex be about you trusting and exploring taboos in a healthy, consensual way? Or will it be a compulsion that takes you down a dark road? In both scenarios, you give up your power. I’m sure you can figure out which is healthier.
Consider the positives and negatives of Scorpio. Then, imagine these things getting bigger.
Healthy Scorpio
Unhealthy Scorpio
Whatever happens, Jupiter in Scorpio wants you to give it your all. Total commitment. This is how you will capitalize on any successes that come your way. And this is how you will make your way forward if things get ugly.
This doesn’t mean losing all sense of self-preservation and destroying yourself (unless you really want to). It means total commitment to looking at the secret, speaking the unspeakable, owning your Shadow or allowing the rotting situation to die. Then, you’ll swim to the surface.
Here is a horoscope of the moment on December 19, 2017 that transit Saturn enters its own sign of Capricorn, a significant cosmic event. The horoscope is set for Washington DC with 25Vir18 rising which elects communicator Mercury as chart-ruler, though retrograde (signifying more delay).

The New Moon on November 18 2017 falls at 26º Scorpio decan 3. The Moon in Scorpio is, according to traditional astrology, in its fall. The energies at this Moon can therefore feel quite uncomfortable and edgy. This is in part due to the time of the year, when the Sun is falling into the […]

Pluto is the dark undercurrent behind Sun/Mercury’s social facade. The tension of the square suggests compulsive digging for information, or manipulative conversations that are polite on the surface with hidden agendas underneath. Social and relationship truths will surface.
Pluto adds significant power to what’s being said or revealed. The seemingly casual remark will have a strong (possibly hostile) impact, and if you’re not aware of what’s actually driving the discussion, you will be unprepared. This is true whether you’re delivering or receiving the message. Stay alert, read between the lines, and think carefully before you speak up.
