Jupiter Retrograde May 14th, 2020 To September 13th, 2020
Much like Saturn, Jupiter also spends the majority of its time in retrograde being an outer planet. Unlike the challenges of making your future plans under Saturn retrograde and dealing with a dulling romance under Venus retrograde, Jupiter retrograde allows you the time to go back and retrospect.
Jupiter is the planet of growth, abundance, expansion, and finances. From an internal consciousness perspective, Jupiter represents our beliefs and intuition. During the retrograde period, Jupiter will be in the sign of Capricorn. Jupiter in Capricorn is not the most auspicious location for Jupiter and can cause Jupiter's gifts for expansion to dwindle throughout its journey in Capricorn. On a collective level, we see this playing out clearly in the financial crisis caused by COVID-19, similar to the crash in 2008, which occurred last time Jupiter was in Capricorn. How will we grow from these current stumbling blocks?
It's all about self-evaluation in May's last retrograde of the year and the easier one. Being the planet of philosophy, spontaneity, spiritual growth, and learning, it gives you the opportunity to realign your spirit and values that are true to you.
Getting in tune with what we know intuitively it is always a good thing to do during Jupiter retrograde. This is the time to discard old limiting beliefs that were forced on us by our environment. Jupiter retrograde invites you to revise the old stories that guide your life. Instead, tune into your inner guru to grow. Remember: removing obstacles can create expansion.
