From October 10, 2017, to November 8, 2018, Jupiter is in Scorpio (the eighth house). Every 12 to 13 months, Jupiter transits or enters a new sign or house. Jupiter, as the largest planet, is the planet that governs growth, abundance, good fortune, and overindulgence. It takes Jupiter about 12 years to orbit the sun. So, roughly every 12th year is your natal "Jupiter return" year. Jupiter should be luckier for you.
