Jupiter in Retrograde
Happy Moon day! Most Monday's the phone is off the hook. Time to reflect, restore and review. Retrogrades are also a time to review as well. This week on October 9th 2024 (10th here in Oz) Jupiter the planet of wonder and good fortune, is going retrograde in Gemini. This doesn't mean that you're going to lose out in finances or luck - more to the point redefining your beliefs in what WAS once benefic, what WAS good in fortune... is not so much any more. Jupiter is the big daddy in the sky due to it's size - a little bit like a big jolly Father Christmas who you believe in and that every year you receive gifts. Not so much over the next 4 months.
It's a time to say, this shit isn't working anymore, so now I'm going to make some new friends, new ideas, new projects and refine that lens. Here's some other concepts around this transit. This week you will be reassessing your beliefs. During Jupiter retrograde, which occurs when the planet appears to move backward in its orbit from Earth's perspective, it is believed to influence various aspects of life, particularly related to growth, expansion, and luck. Here are some common interpretations of what happens during this period:
1. Introspection : Jupiter retrograde encourages self-reflection and reassessment of beliefs, values, and life goals. It’s a time to consider what truly brings you joy and fulfilment.
2. Review of Goals : This period often prompts individuals to evaluate their ambitions and long-term plans. It can be a good time to revisit and revise goals rather than starting new ventures.
3. Philosophical Exploration : People might feel drawn to explore philosophical or spiritual questions, seeking deeper understanding and meaning in their lives.
4. Reassessment of Relationships : Jupiter rules over growth and abundance, so this retrograde can lead to reevaluating personal and professional relationships, determining which are worth nurturing.
5. Financial Review : It’s also a good time to reassess finances, investments, and spending habits, rather than making significant financial decisions.
6. Potential Delays : Projects or plans may face delays or obstacles, prompting a need for patience and adaptability.
Jupiter is assigned to the 9th house which is aligned to Sagittarius energy - wonder, philosophy and faith! Do you have faith in a situation? It might be a time to slow things down a bit, but remember, Jupiter is also about protection - it's time to go out on your own. You can do this!
