The following is said about this conjunction: Jupiter’s principle effect is to expand anything it touches. It symbolizes abundance – hence, its historical reputation as the “Greater Benefic.” But before we leap into paroxysms of ecstasy here, let’s reflect on exactly what Lord Jupiter is going to be expanding.
Scorpio embraces all of the “strong energies” in the human psyche – instincts, mammal reflexes, appetites, rage, fear, the wounded places in us all.
In all cases, the presence of the unconscious mind (Scorpio) will be vividly, even spectacularly, demonstrated (Jupiter).
Always, in any kind of Scorpionic time, the bottom line is that the unconscious mind is becoming conscious.
All that is taboo is brought to the surface.
At the individual level, we need to ask ourselves hard questions – that’s the Scorpio process – about what we really want and what is truly good for us (that’s Jupiter).And then, armed with that hard-won self-knowledge, we need to boldly and audaciously make our moves.
You need a victory – but you had better make sure you “know what’s good for you.” Thus, Scorpionic inner work clarifies and rectifies the intentions, while King Jupiter leads the charge.
The lower ground? When Jupiter-in-Scorpio operates unconsciously, the dark and tangled complexes and appetites that animate human madness find extravagant outward expression.

I think feeling this conjunction coming has been what's been making me feel 'crazy'. So many insecurities, fears, anxieties suddenly flared up and have been eating away at me. Sure they're there usually but I've generally got a handle on them. Recently, feels like they've got the handle on me...

So far my appetite has increased. It has been a fun time and I feel sexy

Natally, I have Venus in Scorpio. I am thinking more of the same will happen when the conjunction occurs.

The last conjunction of Venus-Jupiter i can recall, my little sister was born. She is Scorpio Sun,Merc,Ven, Jupiter and Pluto with Gem Asc.

Space.com shows what it will look like Monday morning: http://www.space.com/38754-venus-jupiter-conjuction-november-2017.html

Anyone who can get a clear picture, please share! It's a great illustration of declinations.

One thing to throw in here - asteroid Hopi (2938) is also sitting right in there with venus and jupiter right now at 7'3 scorpio. Hopi has been linked with ambushes - so could be more of the sexual harassment stuff being revealed, with jupiter blowing it into the open in a big way.

The positioning itself of this conjunction is interesting - my sun is at 2deg taurus and moon at 2deg leo so a loose opposition/square for me. I'm feeling pretty upbeat all in all, and I'm eating again (thanks jupiter ) after a period of not eating much. The conjunction is in my 8th house.

My buddy has his sun-merc-saturn in a tight stellium at 6-7 scorpio, so will be interesting how this reaches him as he's got a lot going on at the moment.

I love Steven Forrest's view about 'sometimes all you need is a hug to make things better' and I was like YES!

Our friendship is in a difficult patch for various reasons so it may be this helps soothe things.

In our Davison chart, we have Jupiter at 8'57 scorpio so heading for a jupiter return very close to our MC (10 scorp); and the Davison sun and moon are at 4-5 Aquarius, so square that.

Ever since Scorpio season and especially now I'm feeling very paranoid,obsessive, over thinking things again and again and again and also feeling down and sad. My self confidence has been shattered as well.

I have a stellium in Scorpio natally. Along with Mercury, I have Jupiter, Venus, North Node and Pluto in Scorpio, Some in 9th and some in 10th.

I thought this would be a great time for me as I've so much Scorpio in my chart but I am feeling really horrible at the moment. Saturn has just moved into my 12th house so maybe thats adding to it but feeling very empty and lethargic at the moment and all I want to do is sleep all day to run away from life.

And to explain it a bit further: I have been obsessed with a crush I have at uni. Thise last 5 month has been very draining and exhasuting emotionally. But as soon as we hit November, I have been so calm about him. For ex, I woould almost claim the walls if I was not to see him for 3-4 days. But since 1 November I felt like I wanna keep to myself and I made my best to avoid him and texting him thise past 2 weeks haha thats a record I tell you.

That's really interesting that you're actually feeling calm. It's probably for a good reason. Distance can bring clarity.

Yes it sure is! I looked at the transits, maybe also my Asc ruler Mercury transiting my 4th house has to do something with it? Retreat of the mind? And Mars is transiting in libra now so...dunno they are not enough to harness that Pluto energies though..hmmm.

Nah with Jupiter here I had a bully co-worker stop bullying me when I got to say she was hostile to me to her face, in front of the director and that she makes me uncomfortable. Part of the transit says there will be peace at work or something like that.

But then it’s expanding WORK. They decided that I can work over 8 hour days a few times a week now, and it’s been an influence in making me go mental. My mental health has been bad and getting worse. I have been wanting to withdraw, not go out with friends, be alone to lick my wounds. Last week I didn’t have much of an appetite and I would skip lunch a few days.

I even bought a pack of cigarettes last week for the first time in 3 years. Something that I really made me question “why would this happen with Jupiter in my 6th house???”
I quit smoking when Saturn was in my 6th btw.
