Jupiter is travelling through Scorpio for the next 12 months. Jupiter expands everything it touches. Scorpio symbolises the under world, the taboo, all things hidden, transformation, death and rebirth and the phoenix rising out of the ashes. Facing these areas of life can be really tough.
This combination of Jupiter expanding all things Scorpio, reminds me of a time I went through a specific meditation process over an extended period of time. This particular practice was about bringing forth my shadow for healing. During this process there were times where my shadow would be coming up and it was so painful, so overwhelming that I would physically recoil.

could go to get away from my shadow…it was coming from inside of me…I laughed at my attempts to run away from myself! So I started practicing staying with it and going back to my breath. After a while I noticed I became the space around my shadow as I was no longer in resistance. I also realised that my identification with my shadow had begun to lessen, it was still a part of me but not all of me. It was a great relief no longer running from my shadow.

Jung. This planetary cycle is a great reminder of the importance of this work. Jupiter through Scorpio reminds us that we can expand out past the problems and heal our hidden wounds and move towards greater peace and understanding.
