You Might Catch A Break When Jupiter Goes Direct, So Here's When To Pay Attention

Jupiter in Scorpio has been one of the most incredible yet absolutely terrifying transits I've ever experienced. The planet of expansion stationed retrograde this March, in what is known as the most intense sign of the zodiac. Now, for the million dollar question, when does Jupiter Retrograde 2018 end? Lucky for us, Jupiter will turn direct on July 10 at exactly 1:02 p.m. ET. We're almost there, star gazers, but before I tell you what Jupiter Direct has in store for us, here's a quick overview of this unforgettable transit.

In astrology, Jupiter is the planet of faith, luck, healing, and expansion. This planet is outspoken and truth seeking. Its energy is similar to a magnifying glass, exposing and amplifying everything it touches. Its philosophical influence encourages us to expand our minds and see the bigger picture, which in turn, can help shape our society. This is where it gets even more interesting. Every 12 to 13 months, Jupiter enters a new zodiac sign, sprinkling abundance and truth. Its over-the-top generosity makes it easier to grow through that specific zodiac sign’s energy and purpose.

For instance, back in September 2016, Jupiter was making his annual visit in fair-minded Libra, shedding light where justice wasn’t being served. From human rights protests to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, Jupiter in Libra encouraged compromise and equality. Oh, and we all know that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, right? It just so happens that the Women’s March was held during Jupiter in Libra, and Libra also happens to be ruled by planet Venus. Is it still just a bunch of hocus pocus?

Fast forward to Oct. 10, 2017, when Jupiter left justice-seeking Libra and took a dive into Scorpio’s deep and murky waters. That same day, actresses like Angelina Jolie, Gwyenth Paltrow and more, accused Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault and harassment, ultimately sparking the #MeToo movement. This was obviously the culmination of many women and journalists working together to gain overdue justice for women who have been harmed, but as an astrologist, for me it's interesting to look at what was going on with the planets during those times as well.

Hello, Jupiter in Scorpio.

Scorpio is the detective of the zodiac, and with Jupiter involved, our deepest secrets are slowly but surely coming to the light.
