October 2017

The big news is Jupiter’s ingress into Scorpio on October 10. What drives you now? This transit will take you through a deeper exploration (perhaps a confrontation) regarding desires, needs, and motivations. From the inside out, it sets you up for substantial evolution. If you haven’t been able to find your mojo of late, look to Jupiter in Scorpio to put the key in the ignition. The transit also sets you for a powerplay time regarding finances, intimate relationship needs, conquering addiction, or any other part of yourself or your life that needs an overhaul.

Mercury enters Scorpio on October 17 and immediately hooks up with Jupiter (October 18). The sun in Scorpio conjuncts Jupiter on October 26. You won’t have any trouble staying focused. The Scorpio transits help you (or force you) to stay better committed. Increasing attention on important relationships, contract matters, and your balancing act, Venus treks into Libra on October 14 and Mars does so on October 22, (the same day the sun enters Scorpio.) Overall, it should be an intense, fully stacked move along month.

You’ll stay busy with one thing after the other from the full moon (October 5) through the new moon (October 19). Relationships can give you a run for it; finances can too. It’s time to face a big decision, to confront what’s necessary, and to make sweep change.

Jupiter’s one-year transit through Scorpio will prompt major change regarding the way you witness and interface with the world around you. Someone or something could have a profound, life-altering effect on you. A key relationship is slated for a major overhaul. A major contract, actual or karmic is in the works. No matter where you find yourself or what you face, know that there is more to it than is readily evident. Jupiter in Scorpio suggests there are hidden elements, more layers, and major karma at play. In some cases, you may feel Jupiter in Scorpio’s workings as a sink or swim initiation, or as an all or nothing choice. To the plus, Jupiter in Scorpio can provide you with laser beam intuition or a great advantage.

Jupiter is an archetype of freedom, not traps. Addictions, obsessions, and self undermining are also matters to confront when Jupiter transits Scorpio. If these matters are on the front burner for you, know that your bravery will be exceptionally rewarded. Reach out for a life-line and enlist the help you need.

Mercury enters Scorpio on October 17 and the sun does so on October 22. Both can keep you sharp. Even so, it is wise to stay observant, to read the fine print, look under the hood, secure your passwords, increase your safeguards, re-examine your strategy for success, etc.

Jupiter’s transit through Scorpio invites you (or forces you) to spend more time developing an upgraded level of honesty with yourself. The more honest you are with yourself, the more on track you’ll stay, the more satisfied you’ll be, the less you’ll feel duped by circumstances or by others.  When Jupiter is in Scorpio, betrayal, violations of trust, and abandonment issues can grow into something major. Don’t get paranoid about it (that’s Jupiter in Scorpio too), it may not be your reality at all.  My intention here is simply to alert to range of potentials for Jupiter’s transit.

Venus in Virgo (to October 13) and Mars in Virgo (to October 22) are opportune for your sign, so set yourself to task, clean up your act, and see ready progress.
