Jupiter in Scorpio : interpersonal magnetism
Jupiter is in the element of Water here, with Pluto as its ruler, which is potentially a very explosive combination, with Jupiter bringing its expansive, fickle nature to the table and Pluto adding its transformative, instinctive energy and its dark nature.
Having Jupiter in Scorpio gives people a sort of magnetism, socially and interpersonally, as well as intense charisma, sangfroid, persistence in working towards their goals, a thirst for power and the cunning that goes with it, and the ability to truly prioritize what is important and ignore everything else.
They make good psychologists and shrewd investigators, seeking to uncover that which is hidden and get to the bottom of things. You will have a hard time hiding the truth, or anything else, when they are around. They are often interested in occultism and esotericism; these studies broaden their deep Search for meaning and their interest in the mysteries of life, death, and the beyond, as well as in cultural taboos. Having Jupiter in Scorpio allows people to truly, thoughtfully put all of these elements into perspective.
Jupiter in Scorpio people take on all of this sign’s intensity, determination, strong willpower, and strength, to put it simply, but this happens in a very Plutonian way, so these energies are buried deep beneath the surface. Their warmth and passion are intense, but are frequently hidden behind a cold, emotionless, impenetrable, incomprehensible, and enigmatic exterior.
Socially, they are very impulsive and instinctive, and may be fairly “rough around the edges” and abrupt. These people rely more on what they feel emotionally in a relationship rather than on rational, intellectual logic. Yet, for all that they still do not readily express their emotions and feelings; they may have trouble understanding them themselves and handling them in a social context, and they may sometimes become fairly frustrated and repress their feelings if they do not find a way of privately expressing their intense inner passion.
Often, no one is indifferent towards these people : either you love them for their talents and personality or you hate them because of their inflated ego and their overly self-confident, haughty manner, or perhaps because of their dark sense of humor and their pointed, cutting remarks, which they never fail to throw out regularly into conversations.
Jupiter in Scorpio people frequently blossom in times of crisis. It’s in these times that they mostly clearly reveal their strength of character and strategic intelligence. We could judge them for being dispassionate and unconcerned in these moments, but it’s very important to recognize that they have a talent for quickly finding solutions to any problem.
Jupiter in Scorpio people can also be very dark and self-destructive, as they are swallowed by their soul’s dark side, which contrasts sharply with Jupiter’s natural optimism. These people may also tend to be very excessive in the ways in which they behave. They have a hard time limiting themselves, and often crave things without finding a way to satiate their appetite (especially in a sexual context).
At their worst, they may also readily develop an obsessive, compulsive, possessive, and jealous side. In this case, they manifest their hard nature in their relationships, which may offend many “kinder” signs. Jupiter in Scorpio people may also seek out security from their relationships and try to make their relationships feel as safe as possible, but they never truly succeed : there are always things that escape them.
Jupiter retrograde in Scorpio
Jupiter’s Retrograde motion in this sign tends to cause the planet’s energy to be highly internalized, which goes against its naturally expansive nature, and unfortunately may intensity these people’s dark side. On the plus side, it may help them to be much more balanced than they would be with Jupiter direct in Scorpio, or it may give them a very Pisces-like mystical side, a universal openness, a tendency to sacrifice, and greater empathy.
