<\/p>\nJUPITER retrograde is currently underway, which means the time for self-development and soul-searching is upon us. <\/p>\n
Nicknamed "the Great Benefic," Jupiter is associated with good fortune, luck, and blessings, meaning a Jupiter retrograde might not be such a bad thing after all. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A retrograde occurs when a planet appears to move backward in the sky.<\/p>\n
In astrology, this impacts how you feel in life.<\/p>\n
Individuals often report feeling like they're moving backward or being "slowed down" by the universe.<\/p>\n
This can manifest itself physically, such as with stagnated relationships or career prospects, or mentally, with heightened anxiety or stress. <\/p>\n
The exact way you feel "set back" corresponds with the planet in retrograde, along with the area of the sky, as ruled by the zodiac signs.<\/p>\n
Even though retrogrades appear to go hand-in-hand with stagnation, they often end up pushing individuals forward through self-reflection, introspection, and some much-needed changes \u2013 for the better. <\/p>\n
This year, Jupiter is retrograding through Taurus, a sign associated with security, comfort, materialism, relaxation, and sensuality. <\/p>\n
Since Jupiter is known as the planet of plenty, the retrograde may in fact bring abundance and prosperity, and usher in an era of personal growth for those affected. <\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The signs most influenced by Jupiter retrograde will be Taurus and Sagittarius, as Jupiter is ruled by the latter.<\/p>\n A Jupiter retrograde typically occurs once per year and lasts for around four months.<\/p>\n This year's Jupiter retrograde is already underway.<\/p>\n It started on September 4, 2023, and ends on December 30. <\/p>\n However, the Jupiter retrograde shadow period, which refers to the time before and after a retrograde, runs through March 21, 2024.<\/p>\n During the shadow period, a planet either slows down as it enters its retrograde, or speeds up as it leaves its backward motion. <\/p>\n The next Jupiter retrograde is slated to run from October 9, 2024, through February 4, 2025. <\/p>\n Jupiter retrograde will have different consequences for individuals depending on their zodiac signs.<\/p>\n While most people know their sun sign, it can also be helpful to see how Jupiter retrograde will affect you based on your rising sign.<\/p>\n Using an astrology calculator can help you figure out your rising sign.<\/p>\n Jupiter in retrograde will offer introspection and reflection for Aries.<\/p>\n Then, after a period of solitude, you'll find that nothing will get in the way of your success. <\/p>\n Attaining greatness will come naturally to you this retrograde \u2013 just give your networking abilities a chance to shine. <\/p>\n During this time, you'll see that you have many personal connections in your corner who care for you and want you to succeed. <\/p>\n Be wary of blind optimism and rushing into opportunities too quickly for the next few weeks, whether it's a new career, project, or relationship.<\/p>\n Caution is key for Geminis this retrograde season. <\/p>\n Trusting the process has never been more true than during this retrograde.<\/p>\n Cancers may not have everything they want right now, but change is coming, so they should consider this the calm before the storm. <\/p>\n Budgeting is a Leo's best friend this retrograde season.<\/p>\n Keep an eye on your bank account, avoid overspending, and curb the generosity \u2013 avoid covering tabs and frivolous purchases for yourself and others.<\/p>\n Intimacy and close relationships are key to happiness and growth for Virgos, but this retrograde season, you may find that you're being more selective about your inner circle.<\/p>\n You're learning to prioritize quality over quantity, so don't be alarmed if you find that some relationships just aren't worth your time or energy anymore. <\/p>\n Similar to your fellow air signs, this retrograde season is urging Libras to proceed with caution.<\/p>\n Before making any major commitments or decisions over the next few weeks, talk it over with a friend or ask an unbiased third party for their take on the matter. <\/p>\n Romance and passion are in the air for the next few weeks, but don't forget to stay grounded!<\/p>\n Balance is key this retrograde season, so it's best for Scorpios to avoid overindulgence and recklessness.<\/p>\n This retrograde may have you feeling stuck or stifled, especially with your current living situation.<\/p>\n Even if you're not into making any major moves, take some time to find a place (or places) that make you feel spiritually and emotionally fulfilled. <\/p>\n Making new connections is coming easy for Capricorns this retrograde season, but it's important to look beyond the surface.<\/p>\n When it comes to meeting new people, learn to appreciate them for who they are, and not necessarily how they'll benefit you in the long run.<\/p>\n Patience is a virtue, and those with a sun or rising sign in Aquarius will be rewarded for it by the end of Jupiter retrograde. <\/p>\n Stress less about your financial situation now, as abundance and prosperity are coming your way in the next few months. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/crop-23077022.jpg\")
