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 opportunities for expansion and optimism, although somewhat challenged when it is touched by 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 September 13, 2020, and its positive
expansiveness is considered to be alive and well. Jupiter moves into its retrograde cycle on June
20, 2021.
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 waiting
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 Jupiter 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 who
you are and objectively viewing yourself making alterations along the way 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 (once Jupiter is direct again). It is a time of
contemplation when Jupiter is retrograde.
Remember to view
Jupiter even when retrograde in a positive way, 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 to go 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 “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.
Once Jupiter has
gone back into direct motion 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.
Jupiter is a very
positive influence in your life and will enhance most experiences, especially
when linked to higher energy.
