Jupiter in Scorpio

Natal Jupiter in Scorpio (jyotish)

The philosophy of Jupiter in Scorpio is the philosophy of a person who is strong, wise, mature, but does not strive to demonstrate his experience. His philosophy may be transformed, reborn, become different, unlike what it was before.

A person with Jupiter in Scorpio loves to study everything that is unknown, mysterious, inaccessible to the broad masses. He is attracted by the depth and enigmatic quality of the phenomena around him. The wisdom of Jupiter and the resolve of Scorpio give the person a wish to apply his knowledge in practice.

Jupiter in Scorpio makes the outlook not broad but bottomless. Such a person is interested not in the periphery but in the essence of events. He sees to the root, pushing into the background everything that has no relation to the main subject of his research.

He may hide his knowledge and share it only with the chosen. He may be recognised only in narrow circles. He may be a member of communities that few know about. He may not advertise the good that he does for people.

The strength of Jupiter in Scorpio lies in the fact that he learns himself and (if he has decided to entrust his knowledge to someone) teaches others boldly and energetically. Jupiter is the planet of education and teaching, Mars (the lord of Scorpio) is the planet of courage and of an active position in life, and therefore Jupiter in Scorpio bravely comes to know the world and is confident in his teaching and in his pupils. At the same time Scorpio is cautious, and therefore Jupiter in Scorpio prefers to take a risk not at once but after some reflection, and shares knowledge very carefully.

The weakness lies in the fact that Jupiter is open and optimistic, while Scorpio is closed and takes little joy in life. In Scorpio Jupiter becomes more suspicious; he may go deeper into the subject of his research not only because it interests him, but also because he does not trust other people's conclusions. His boldness in seeking and transmitting knowledge may also be shaded by circumspection and prudence.

In coming to know life, Jupiter in Scorpio combines fearlessness and judiciousness. For all his readiness to go forward, he still prefers to weigh both the steps and their consequences. The wisdom of Jupiter and the caution of Scorpio together give a wise caution or a cautious wisdom.

Jupiter transiting Scorpio (jyotish)

When Jupiter goes transiting through Scorpio, a wish may appear to learn something seriously and thoroughly, immersing oneself deeply in themes that stir one. The circle of interests may embrace not only generally known questions but also highly specialised ones, little discussed in broad circles.

Situations may arise connected, on the one hand, with mysteries, mysticism and changes, and on the other hand with laws (legal or moral), culture, charity, travel, ideas, ideals.

At the same time views of life may become more pessimistic; complacency may give way, if not to cruelty, then to harshness and cold-bloodedness. A shadow of something unpleasant and negative may fall upon one's reputation and authority.

People with Jupiter in Scorpio are inclined to pride, haughtiness and the suppression of other people. At times they may be vengeful, but at the same time they are diligent, hard-working, very sensitive and easily conquered by the opposite sex. They are intelligent. The outlook of such people often changes with age.

Jupiter is the most optimistic and open planet, while Scorpio is a closed sign, and therefore people with such a placement of the planet are often suspicious and prefer to re-check everything themselves, not trusting other people's conclusions too much. Scorpio is the sign of destruction and death, of rebirth and revival; perhaps that is precisely why Jupiter, falling into the sign of Scorpio, instils in the person a certain illusion of his own invulnerability.
