Transiting Jupiter went retrograde on April
10, 2019, and you may have felt its energies slowing, up to a few days prior to
that date. It will remain retrograde
until August 11, 2019 when it goes direct again. At that time, its energies will flow freely
once again.
If you have planets or an angle that falls
between 14-24 degrees of Sagittarius, you will feel these energies more
strongly than those without a planet in these degrees.
Jupiter turned “stationary” retrograde on
April 10 at 24 degrees Sagittarius and will go stationary “direct” on August 11
at 14 degrees Sagittarius. During the
retrograde motion and especially when it is stationary retrograde for a few
days, Jupiter’s energies are harnessed and they cannot flow with full
expression.
We have noted that people do not feel as
optimistic and eager to move ahead under this influence and in many cases the
traditional good fortune of Jupiter is stifled until it goes direct again.
Most planets in retrograde suggest that
this is a time of review and contemplation.
A time of inner reflection as physical progress is difficult.
Since Jupiter has to do with spirituality
and religion and life philosophies, this will be a time for inner contemplation
particularly in relation to the house position of transiting Jupiter connected
in some way to spirituality and philosophy and religious inclinations. Any planet or angle that it touches under
this influence will be stifled and potentially have challenging conditions linked
to it.
For example, if Venus were part of the
equation then perhaps there might be some challenges linked to finances or your
love life. Feelings of sensitivity
towards those you care for may not be allowed full expression or may be
challenged in some way. Once it passes,
the degree of the planet in question moving direct in motion, there may be a
renewed sense of happiness and the finances (in this example)may flow more
freely. Of course, other transits will
also have to be calculated for a full evaluation of what might take place.
The retrograde movement usually lasts about
4 months and in August when Jupiter returns to the original position it was at on
the onset of its retrograde cycle on April 10, it will be “peddle to the meddle
and full steam ahead”.
If you have a planet or angle on the stationary
degree, it is most influential. Those
that have nothing at these degrees (the strongest is the conjunction and then the
opposition) may not feel much of the energy stifling effects while Jupiter is
in retrograde.
As Jupiter goes into retrograde motion
there is a sense that things are slowing down and as it approaches its direct motion
again there is a sense that a path might be taken and an eagerness of what
might come next.
Once direct again, the brakes are released
and the engine begins to power up.
During its retrograde cycle, the normal generosity and optimistic
approach that Jupiter often suggests may even stop working or at the very least,
will have slowed down. During the
retrograde energies, it is time to delve deep and find optimism internally,
although you may feel somewhat limited.
When Jupiter stations (appears not to be
moving between the direct and retrograde motions), it will exaggerate anything
that it touches within the natal chart.
You can allow about a 2-3 degree orb of influence when in relationship
to a planet or angle, but again, these energies will be much stronger for those
with planets between the 14 to 24 degree of Sagittarius.
