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 sometimes excessiveness, began its retrograde journey for 2024 on Wednesday, October 9th, at 3:05 AM EDT ... this 118 day Jupiter retrograde period will go from 21 degrees 20 minutes back to 11 degrees 16 minutes Gemini ... this is the only period that Jupiter will be retrograde in Gemini for approximately the next twelve years !!! ... take note in what house/houses these degrees fall in your natal chart and the areas of life ruled by these house/houses ... 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 ... gee, do you think it might be necessary now to rethink the financial bail out and who gets what and whether or not some people/organizations have gotten an unnecessarily excessive amount ???
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 ... it is very important during this period to look deep within and 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 is currently in transit through the sign of Gemini - which it began back on May 25th - until June 5th, 2025 ... this energy is all about growing and expanding through communicating ... and as Jupiter is now in a relationship with Mercury, the natural ruler of Gemini, that means there is a lot of information coming to us through many different sources in addition to a lot of energy pushing us to get up and move in fact into many different directions at the same time... but the caveat here is that we have been bombarded by so much information that we have become overloaded with facts and figures to the point of mental exhaustion ... social media has truly continued to explode and many are frequently posting information which may be true or overblown embellished versions of the truth and in some cases outright lies and misinformation with the sole intention to stir people up to the point of potentially living in fear ... in addition no doubt the effects of many so called "influencers" have been constantly in our faces, so to speak, and we have had the task to determine what is valid and what is not worth our time ... for many of them it's not about the content of the message so much as it is about how many people clicked on the post and/or started following them ... social media posts must be clearly vetted for the truth of their information ... one of the main reasons Jupiter is said to be in detriment in the sign of Gemini as energies tend to become extremely scattered in too many different directions ... perhaps this retrograde period has come at a very fortuitous period allowing us to "drop back and punt" so to speak and take time to really think about and try to understand everything we are being exposed to - especially with Pluto stationing back into direct motion on October 11th which is surely going to cause things from the depths to rise to the surface and be exposed whether or not we like it ... and this is especially true in the United States as we are coming up on a Presidential election on November 5th and there is an overabundance of information on both sides - some of it true but so much of it falsely manufactured to make the other candidate look bad ... but we are living in a country that supposedly supports freedom of speech and Jupiter in Gemini is certainly fueling that constitutional right to excess !!!
Sagittarius born individuals, as Jupiter is the ruling planet of your Sun sign, this is your yearly period of review and reflection ... Sagittarius Moon and Rising signs may also be particularly affected by this retrograde period ... it is time to step back and reflect on what has been going on in your life since Jupiter last turned direct on December 31st, 2023 at 5 degrees 34 minutes Taurus ... where have you possibly over-expanded, and what opportunities for growth and expansion have come your way that you either took advantage of or might well have overlooked especially in relation to the areas of life ruled by the house or houses where this forward motion has occurred ... in fact couldn't the same be said for all of us ???
Jupiter remains retrograde until February 4th, 2025, so take a good look at where you have possibly over-expanded, physically or otherwise, gone too far too fast, and keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities for growth and expansion that might come your way ... take advantage of them - be careful not to overlook what could ultimately be that once in a lifetime chance !!!
