Jupiter in retrograde

As Jupiter is the largest planet, we will be feeling a lot of changes when it goes retrograde. Jupiter rules the sense of wellbeing, of being ageless, living forever, being immortal and those that like to party. Those that will be affected the most are born September 6 through the 13th - Virgo and those born on September 10th that receive the energy of this planet. In the opposite sign, Pisces, March 4th through the 12th with those born on March 8th receiving the full energy of this planet. If you have a natal Jupiter retrograde, then this is a great time for you! You are in your element and will make out quite well during this time frame.

The definition of Jupiter and it rules: Jupiter is considered the great benefit. The guardian angel. The good guy. Fortune. Money. Deals. Largess. Fat. Obesity. Arteries. Bulimia. Benevolent. Expansive. No boundaries. No banks. Unlimited. Optimistic. Gambler. Exaggeration. Excess. Broad minded. Misjudgment. Adventuresome. Expanding (as in the waistline). Risk taker. Growth.

Foot-loose-and-fancy-free. Contracts. Agreements with lots of money. Enrichment of one's life. Educational curiosity. Happiness. Epidemics of any kind, whether natural or terrorist made. It is the key trigger for a massive epidemic to begin.

How will this affect us the most - It will bring in more emotions of feeling vulnerable and gloomy. NOW remember that all retrogrades are time to do some inner work and work on all aspects of life, it does not mean it to be bad - it is how you make of it and spend that time and energy to turn around for the best!! This information will give you tips on how it is affecting others and maybe you too.

Jupiter retrograde gives us a huge dose of reality check this time around, which is a good thing for everyone. If you can approach this period in this spirit, which is the most positive way to do it, then you see that you have time to finally finish off a lot of projects that have been hanging fire because you just haven't had time to finish them off (because there has been so much on your plate). It is the perfect time to remain close to home, make friends with your neighbors, have block parties, talk, share, and communicate. It is a time to build a new paradigm of working within your own community. By doing this, we stay strong and so the fabric of the globe stays that way, too. Instead of intolerance, let's learn how to practice tolerance.

This is a cleanup, fix-up, finish-it-up time. The phones aren't going to be ringing off the hook as much. People are going to be wanting less from you. It gives us all breathing room to work on favored projects, ourselves, our children, or our business, now, as never before. Things are going to quiet a lot out in our world in some ways and that's good news we all get a rest and a reprieve. This is a time to withdraw your energy, rest, and let what you have put forth and 'out there' work and gestate on a cosmic level, so that when Jupiter does go direct you will then receive the good news from all your hard work and gestation.

With Jupiter retrograde, money will be TIGHT to nonexistent. Or you will put your money into practical things, such as antibiotics for your family, buying a homeopathic kit, putting away more canned food and dry goods such as beans and rice, instead. You become the "ant" and not the "grasshopper" during this period. If you try to find a job, you won't or if you do, you won't stay there long, or it will change in some respects from what you expected it to be. Jobs, in general, are going to dry up during this period so it's not a good time for anyone to jump ship and try to find another job. Stay put and haul your load for now. There will be better times in the future coming for you to leave a job if you're dissatisfied with it. If you tried to get a loan, you may.

If you tried to expand your business, it may fail, or it won't be successful as you had hoped it would be. This is the WORST time to try and start up a business. If you tried to do any type of expansion on any level, it did not occur.

It won't with Jupiter retrograde. During retrograde, you may become arrogant, better-than-thou, a know-it- all, or not listen to the wise counsel of spouse, friend, or business cohort (and you should, but you won't). You can become small-minded and even mean-minded toward others that you generally, in a Jupiter direct, embrace with prejudice so be careful in these areas and respect everyone, regardless of how you really feel inside yourself. We must practice tolerance, not intolerance.

The positive side of Jupiter is Generosity to us as well as to others. Cosmopolitan--no one is broader minded and lacking prejudice than a Jupiter person. They are not "small minded" like so many others. They are world travelers, world-minded, and world-connected as no other planet. Virgo and Pisces who understand at the deepest levels about world and family connection. Jupiter does not see skin color, religion, or country of origin. To Jupiter people, we are all one. We are all related. And the only way we will survive is with this cosmopolitan attitude. That is the positive side of Jupiter. We can use the high side of the Jupiter retrograde and find the "pearls in the garbage" so to speak. For every situation that seems hopeless, dig into it and find that pearl, and draw it out into the light and share it with others. People who naturally have a Jupiter retrograde in their chart are going to become our leaders, our 'flashlights' in this trying time of the next 5 1/2 months. They know how to find those pearls! With Jupiter going retrograde, we could find the 'pearls' right under our feet and noses, too. So, start looking down and right around you. Many of the answers you seek are as close as your neighbor, your neighborhood or community. Start making those contacts and connections. You won't be sorry, and it will dissolve the intolerant angle that Jupiter retrograde can bring. Above all, Jupiter retrograde gives us time to reflect in what we really believe in and what we're practicing (or not) daily. This has to come into oneness. Those spiritual should continue their individual practice to bring light and peace to our world, every drop in the bucket, by every individual counts more than ever before.
