LOOKING INWARD TO PROMOTE PERSONAL GROWTH AND "ABUNDANCE" !!!


JUPITER, the planet known as the Great Benefic, and the planet which symbolizes growth, the law, beliefs, ethics, expansion, opportunity, wealth, faith, higher education, travel - long distance, religion,  philosophy, joy, goodwill and often excess and extravagance, began its retrograde journey for 2018 on Thursday, March 8th at 11:46 PM EST ... transiting planetary retrogrades are often referred to as global wake-up calls ... usually right before a Jupiter retrograde it will be discovered or become apparent that society, organizations and individuals will have "gone too far" in their desires to expand and grow ... often the actions will have exceeded positive limits which necessitates a time for stepping back ... it is when the "gravy train", as it were, slows down !!!



Jupiter retrograde is a period for everyone to grow internally and prepare themselves for new opportunities that arise when Jupiter stations back into direct motion ... in fact, we could discover that there was an opportunity which arose or was offered and for some reason we did not act on it or simply ignored it ... it is very important now during this period to go and look within in order to develop a better understanding and awareness which hopefully will enable each one of us to figure out if what is being offered to us is what we really want and/or need !!!



People born with Jupiter retrograde in their natal chart usually find that society's religions, beliefs, philosophies, and cultural values are not compatible with their own values ... they have to step back from the "norms" and rethink these things on their own in order to develop their own individual "operating systems" ... needless to say, during a transiting Jupiter retrograde, we may all experience this and those born with Jupiter retrograde may experience an enhanced desire to pursue their natal energy in regard to this area of our lives ... as Jupiter goes retrograde roughly every 9 months for a period of about 4 months, there are obviously a lot of people, like yours truly, born with Jupiter retrograde in their natal chart !!!



Jupiter stationed retrograde at 23 degrees 13 minutes Scorpio... it will retrograde back to 13 degrees 21 minutes Scorpio during this period ... if you've had a natal chart done and know in which house or houses these degrees lie, you will probably get a good idea where in your life you may have to reconsider "growth" in those areas and whether or not you have gone too far too fast - and this would include "physical" growth as well !!!



With Jupiter is currently transiting through the sign of Scorpio, the emphasis of this transit is all about persevering .. people often find they like to try and exert their influence over others ... life is viewed with very deep insight and this energy has the potential to instill a courageous as well as faithful nature in most ... many may also be drawn to the mystical and occult side of life ... Jupiter in Scorpio can yield a highly intense and frequently uncompromising nature in regards to ones beliefs ... there is also the possibility of heightened interest in the areas of archaeology, music, medicine and healing, corporate finance, taxes, inheritances, investments, intense one on one encounters as well as the desire to pursue a life of luxurious living as this energy can yield the ability to earn enough to make it a reality if that is what one truly desires ... this energy can also bring one encounters with the very dark side of life !!!



Sagittarius born individuals, as Jupiter is the ruling planet of your Sun sign, this is your yearly period of review and reflection ... it is time to step back and reflect on what has been going on in your life since Jupiter last stationed into direct motion back on June 9th, 2017 ... where have you possibly over-expanded, and what opportunities have come your way that you either took advantage of or might well have overlooked or even just outright ignored ??? ... Sagittarius rising and Sagittarius moon born may be doing this too ... in fact, we all are probably going to be considering this on some level of our lives !!!



Jupiter remains retrograde until July 10th ... this is the only retrograde period Jupiter will make in Scorpio for approximately the next twelve years ... use it wisely and with an open heart and mind !!! ... BUT ... we all should continue to keep our eyes and ears open for opportunities for growth and expansion that might come our way - yes, even in a Jupiter retrograde !!! ... you might just want to be patient and wait to take advantage of them until Jupiter stations back into direct motion on July 10th ... and one must also be careful as there will be three sets of personal planet - Mercury, Venus and Mars - retrogrades either in progress or coming up after Jupiter stations direct !!!



The final caveat here would advise one to also be careful otherwise you might find you have overlooked what could ultimately be what benevolent Jupiter has the potential to so joyously bring to each one of us - a once in a lifetime chance for personal and spiritual growth !!!
