jupiter retrograde
Astrology Forecast October 7 – 13, 2024
Today’s Waxing Crescent Moon in Sagittarius ignites a spirit of adventure and optimism, encouraging us to expand our horizons. With Venus quintile Pluto, deep emotional connections may also emerge, urging us to explore the transformative power of love and intimacy.
Meanwhile, Mercury’s bi-quintile with Saturn invites disciplined thinking, making this a perfect day to set intentions and strategize your goals. As the week begins, embrace this mix of exploration and depth, and use your newfound insights to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Jupiter goes retrograde on Wednesday, inviting us to turn inward and reflect on our beliefs, aspirations, and the larger themes of growth in our lives. This retrograde prompts a reevaluation of our goals and encourages us to assess what truly brings us joy and fulfillment.
As the planet of expansion slows down, we may find ourselves revisiting past opportunities or unresolved issues that need our attention. It’s a time to embrace introspection, allowing us to realign our paths and clarify our intentions, ensuring that the pursuits we engage in are truly aligned with our core values.
During this retrograde phase, it’s common to experience a shift in perspective. Where Jupiter typically encourages bold action and expansive thinking, its retrograde energy can lead to moments of doubt or hesitation. However, these challenges can be invaluable; they provide an opportunity to deepen our understanding and cultivate wisdom. By navigating this introspective journey with patience, we can emerge from retrograde more enlightened, equipped with fresh insights that will help us pursue our goals with renewed purpose and clarity once Jupiter resumes its forward motion.
Astrology Forecast December 25 – 31, 2023
Happy holidays! As the year comes to a close and a new one unfolds, I wish you a season of joy, peace, and personal growth. May the eternal wisdom of the stars and planets guide you, and may the spirit of the season fill your heart with hope and wonder.
We close out the year with some significant astrological shifts this week. Today is blessed with a Gemini Moon, which promotes social interaction, lots of communication, and a sense of fun and good times. An ideal lunar energy for holiday gatherings and celebrations!
A Venus in Scorpio trine to Neptune in Pisces with its loving energy could not be more perfectly timed. The kindness you show others during this transit will be returned to you as a karmic reward. It’s a wonderful time to spend with friends and family.
Tomorrow the moon will be full in Cancer, focusing our attention on home, family and security. This may be a good day to pause and consider a new budget for 2024, or at least take a look at spending over the past few months to get an idea of where you stand. The Moon continues to move through Cancer on Wednesday and Thursday, so you may feel like taking advantage of a lull in activity to regroup and reset.
Astrology Forecast September 4 – 10, 2023
Jupiter goes retrograde today in Taurus where it will be the rest of the year. Jupiter is the planet of growth, expansion and risk-taking. It also rules higher truth, law, philosophy, and spiritual wisdom.
When Jupiter goes retrograde, these influences are turned inward and we may find ourselves reflecting more on our personal and spiritual growth, and where we may lack the courage and determination to make necessary changes in our lives.
In Taurus, Jupiter’s retrograde energy will steer our self-reflection over the next few months towards new opportunities for growth and future possibilities for expansion; recognizing where we may have been lazy in our past efforts; the need to improve our financial situation by saving and investing for the future; evaluating where our lives may currently lack security and stability; and revising our goals and plans to include more effort and risk-taking in the future.
A Taurus Moon today and tomorrow makes these first two days the most productive of the week. Once the Moon moves into Gemini on Wednesday, social interaction will take center stage as we enjoy being around people and making new friends.
Our attention will shift to learning new things and sharing our thoughts and ideas with others. This is also a great time to network and build business relationships. But try not to be restless and stay focused to make the most of this transit.
Things will ease up on Friday and Saturday under a nurturing Cancer Moon that turns our attention to the comforts of home and family. If you are empathic or highly sensitive, you may feel a strong desire to care for others over the weekend. It is good to be kind and nurturing, but be careful not to do so at the expense of your own self-care. In order to truly be there for others, we must also care for ourselves.
Fortunately, there will be a great opportunity for some quality ‘me time’ on Sunday, when the Moon moves into Leo, giving you a chance to nurture yourself and indulge in your favorite battery recharging activities.
