The Scorpio Sun opposes retrograde Jupiter in Taurus shortly before 10 pm EDT tomorrow. When two objects are opposed from our point of view, it really means that Earth is in between them. We are thus passing between the two most powerful gravitational fields in the solar system right now. While the literal effect of being pulled in opposite directions may be minimized by Jupiter’s distance, the symbolism cannot be ignored. In your life, you may likewise feel torn in the midst of powerful polarities. The trick is to see beyond that. Astrology’s message is one of perspective. The next few days are, in the larger, longer picture, but a passage.
In order to evaluate what kind of passage to expect, start with the distribution of objects in Scorpio. Venus entered Scorpio three weeks ago and Mercury followed a week later. Both of those planets formed aspects to Chiron in Pisces, Pluto in Capricorn, and finally, Jupiter shortly after ingress. Venus and Mercury are now starting a different story in the latter third of Scorpio even as their previous roles have been revised and rebooted by Sun and Moon.
Sun entered Scorpio on Sunday, followed yesterday by the fleetly moving Moon. Five hours after reaching the fixed water sign, Moon had caught up with Sun for a conjunction which was the Scorpio New Moon. That was a new story in itself which likewise included Chiron and Pluto as part of its development. One sign, two stories, one following the other. Sun’s opposition to Jupiter tomorrow is the passage that combines and expands both by turning a larger wheel. That wheel is a T-square motif made up of fixed signs.
