In traditional astrology, Jupiter has always been considered as the Great Benefactor, the planet of luck and success such as personal fortune, social prominence, professional prestige, high political position. The Jupiterian bounty is peerless! In psychological terms, this planet has a much vaster significance.

As the biggest planet in the solar system, it does preside over the process of personal expansion, interpreted to be fitting into society better and finding an appropriate match between one’s individual ambitions and the aspirations of the group. This growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoys up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego – hence the planet’s flattering reputation. But this snowball effect (Jupiter smiles and the world smiles with you), in which social skills magnify confidence and boldness reaps many rewards, betrays the negative side of Jupiter: extreme and excess. Although grandeur was the characteristic of the “king of the gods,” errors of judgment, poor taste, and sometimes selfishness and pride are also likely to be part of the Jupiterian package. It is important to note that the extension of the ego may be a form of escape; it is tempting to hide behind one’s popularity and social success, which are fairly easy to obtain, rather than be really demanding with oneself.

The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing weaknesses and flaws. As a result, you must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with your social mask, which would cause you to neglect your inner self and deep nature.

Scorpio is the sign of transformation. It rules the houses of the sun and the moon, and the signs of Aries and Virgo. Scorpio’s energy is mysterious. Its discovery in 1579 associates it symbolically with the discovery of the New World. In ancient mythology, Scorpio was considered to be associated with all the aspects of the underworld – Hades, the Greek name for Scorpio, was the god of the dead. Today, the underworld is synonymous with the Mafia, and the two share many characteristics. Scorpio occupies an important place in the horoscopes of great mystics and spiritual beings, as well as in the theme of certain dictators and tyrants, among them the most ruthless and greedy for power. In psychological terms, Scorpio corresponds to the transformation of instinctive energies into energies which are accessible consciously by the individual’s ego. This transformation, which is never completely controllable, induces a power complex. On the social level, it might be symbolized by the nuclear disaster, the failure of Western man to master the energy of the atom – a power complex gone awry. On the individual level, Scorpio is expressed either in a “power complex,” in which instinctive energy is completely transformed into a personal resource, or as a “failure complex,” in which certain inhibitions prevent the instinctive energy from being transformed.
