When Jupiter goes into its retrograde, this
cycle lasts about 120 days and will move between 10 to 20 degrees. Jupiter goes retrograde every year and as
retrogrades usually indicate that the energy is not strong or its full
expression is restricted, Jupiter in retrograde still offers up opportunities
for expansion and optimism, although somewhat challenged when it is in touch
with Saturn.
You can use an orb of 3-4 degrees when
determining if Jupiter will affect any of the planets or important points in
your natal chart. As it crosses these
placements, the energy of Jupiter will increase. As I write this post, Jupiter has been direct
since August, 2019 and its positive expansiveness is considered to be alive and
well.
Under normal conditions Jupiter is known as
the great benefactor, but it is said that when it moves into retrograde, the
energies of these characteristics seem to fade and its normal opportunistic influence
is felt on an inner level. On the
material side of things, however, it is less effective but still present. It is suggested that if you are considering buying
property or big luxury items while Jupiter is in retrograde motion that you
reconsider and wait until Jupiter is once again in direct motion. Much depends on the natal aspects to your
Jupiter. In general, Jupiter’s energies
are not as lucky in retrograde motion as they are under direct motion.
When this planet moves into retrograde, its
impact is felt on an inner level rather than in our outside world. During a retrograde cycle, you can benefit
greatly if you focus on inner growth and awareness. Getting in touch with you and objectively
view yourself making alterations along the way as this would be very
beneficial.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion and is
connected to spirituality and the philosophies of life that have deeper meaning. If you have a look at the house it is
transiting through as well as the house it is located in your natal chart,
these will be areas of life that you can do work on and transform in ways that will
suit you better (when Jupiter is direct again).
It is a time of introspection when Jupiter is retrograde.
Remember to view Jupiter even when
retrograde on a positive note, even if what you see or if your life’s direction
is not what you thought it was. Under
the retrograde influence you can make adjustments to the way you have been
living your life, transform your life’s direction and put yourself on track
with where you should be going.
Jupiter in retrograde is connected to the
lessons in life that are required during that specific time. Be honest with yourself under this influence,
and you will be able to re-examine your truths and gauge these with a keen eye
in order to decide what you want to change and what is worthy of keeping. These are often aspects of yourself that need
some tweaking, in turn creating a higher version of yourself on track and ready
to move in your intended direction.
Look inside yourself and find those inner riches.
While under the influence of Jupiter in
retrograde, if you are making plans on going into a business venture, make sure
that you take the time to consider all the aspects connected to making this
decision. You may find that you will
make great expenditures when Jupiter is retrograde. This is not always a wise decision and likely
not one you would make if Jupiter were in direct motion. It is actually best to wait before making any
decisions, unless your natal Jupiter and the planets connected to it in the
natal chart are quite “well” aspected.
Check to see what the natal chart is saying
and then make your decisions. Just make
sure that you are viewing these contacts with clarity and watch for expanded
optimism.
As a side note, the next Jupiter retrograde
will be May 15, 2020.
Once Jupiter has gone back into direct
motion (again this year was August 11, 2019 and in 2020 it will be September 13)
and is making aspects to other planets in your natal chart, you will be able to
gage what areas of life might be affected and the potential outcome of actions
taken once Jupiter is direct.
Jupiter is a very positive influence in
your life and will enhance most experiences, especially when linked to higher
forms of delivery.
