Jupiter in Scorpio
Because Jupiter is ruled by Mars which is in aversion to Aries forthrightness, these natives may be interested in philosophical and religious matters related to death and ethical issues relating to secrecy or privacy. The native may be fortunate with regard to inheritance or acquisition due to negligent or ill conceived actions of others. They sometimes become involved in expeditions which involve treasure hunting and be unusually fortunate in this area. "Finders keepers, losers weepers" comes to mind because Scorpio often deals with what is lost or let go. There is probably interest in the occult and often the native finds him or herself trying to find the correct path to follow under morally or ethically ambiguous circumstances. Conflicts of interest and the need to recuse onesself for the sake of integrity is commonplace. For those born with this position, the answers to life's questions always seem to bring up more questions than answers. This is because there is often a war being fought over the truth.
In a diurnal chart, the heat of the day purifies the native's philosophy and the dryness helps makes the path clearer for otherwise normally ambiguous situations. They are good at handling the resources of others and may be fortunate with inheritance. They may also gain from the rash actions or wrongful behavior of others. They may be good at investigating losses and finding hidden resources or lost objects. Archaeology may be a key interest.
In a nocturnal chart, the coolness of night creates complications in the natives philosophical path because things of like and unlike nature are concentrated together while the wetness blurrs distinction between what is right and wrong. The native may be tempted to give up on morality and issues of ethicality because there is a constant war fought over the truth. Justice when finally arrived at may be poetic.
