Jupiter Retrograde Meaning
Jupiter retrograde is a regular cycle of four months duration, occurring every thirteen months. It is a time of philosophical and spiritual introspection and reflection. You could have to deal with particular issues involving growth and development, happiness, and success.
Jupiter retrograde encourages you to look inward to discover what makes you happy deep in your soul. It is time to think about your future. The focus is on your spiritual and material growth, on how to be the best person you can be. You may be tested to ensure you are ready to receive the good fortune, ideal relationship, or increased wealth you seek.
Perhaps a destructive behavior like greed or addiction is out of control. In this case, opportunities will arise to recognize and admit the problem. Things may get so out of control that an intervention or some drastic event must occur to shake you out of your complacency or ignorance. Once Jupiter stations direct, you should have come to terms with the relevant issues and be ready to advance toward success and happiness.
Because of the relative orbits of Jupiter and the Sun, Jupiter always stations retrograde and directs trine the Sun within a six-degree orb. So, the luckiest planet in astrology also has the most fortunate retrograde phase.
Sun trine Jupiter brings enthusiasm, self-confidence, happiness, generosity and good fortune. There will be opportunities for personal, spiritual, and material growth. Business, studies, travel, the law, religion and spiritual practices can lead to greater self-understanding, knowledge, wealth, and a broader outlook.
Jupiter Retrograde October 2024
Jupiter station retrograde on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, at 21°20′ Gemini. There are two significant aspects to consider: Mercury trine Jupiter and Venus quincunx Jupiter. The very bright star Bellatrix is also in close alignment with Jupiter retrograde.
Jupiter Retrograde October 2024
Mercury trine Jupiter brings optimism, good luck and good news. It is ideal for studying, socializing, making plans, traveling, organizing, negotiating and handling business and legal matters. Future-oriented thinking, open-mindedness and a progressive outlook enable you to increase your general knowledge and expand your horizons.
You may also find yourself helping out charities or human rights organizations. You could meet a range of people with an increase in social activity. Making friends comes easy, and mutually beneficial friendships can prove profitable.
Venus quincunx Jupiter can cause relationship tension due to an imbalance between the love you give and receive. If you do too much for someone, they may take advantage of the situation and make you feel used and abused. If you have taken someone for granted, they may withdraw their affection until you realize how much you need and love them.
Extra charm, diplomacy, and tact will help relieve any relationship tension. You can also use your enhanced sense of humor to entertain your friends or break the ice. However, a tendency to push the limits could result in someone taking offense. People may be more sensitive about religious, moral and sexual topics. Use moderation and humility to avoid controversy, scandal and financial or legal problems.
The Amazon Star
Jupiter retrograde 2024 is in the Sign of Gemini, but as the star map below shows, it is in the Constellation of Taurus. The Signs and the Constellations do not match up. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.
Jupiter Retrograde 2024 conjunct Bellatrix
Fixed star Bellatrix at 21°18′ Gemini on the Hunter’s left shoulder is the Amazon Star, the Female Warrior Star. It gives great civil or military honor, a fondness for power, victory over competitors, great authority, renown, wealth, eminent friends, quick decision-making, thoughts and plans realized with energy, courage, a fighting spirit, strategic talents, and the ability to organize and discriminate.
Bellatrix makes people ambitious, rash, energetic, headstrong and changeable. It makes women lucky, forceful, loquacious, and shrewish, with a mighty tongue or a high-pitched, hard and sharp voice. However, there is a danger of sudden dishonor and accidents causing blindness and ruin. Harsh aspects (retrograde and quincunx Venus) can make people recklessly aggressive; belligerent daredevils that have a tendency to fight futile or lost causes.
With Jupiter: Great honor, favorable for military, legal and religious matters. Philosophical and religious thinking but the danger of hypocrisy, jealousy, fanaticism, slander, and unforeseen losses. Caution is needed to avoid making enemies.
Jupiter Direct 2025
Jupiter stations direct on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, at 11°16′ Gemini [see chart]. Like the direct station, it is trine the Sun and Mercury. It is still in the Taurus Constellation but on the Alpha star, Aldebaran, at 10°08′ Gemini.
Fixed star Aldebaran, at 10°08′ Gemini in the left eye of the Bull, is one of the four Royal Stars, representing Archangel Michael. This fortunate star is associated with war and military careers and portends riches and honor (especially public or military), intelligence, eloquence, steadfastness, integrity, popularity, courage, ferocity, a responsible position, success in making money, and the gain of power and wealth through others.
However, benefits seldom prove lasting, and there is the danger of violence, self-destruction and sickness. It can make people argumentative, exaggerative, restless, riotous, stressed and anxious, stirring up popular dissent and revolution and madly desiring civil and domestic wars.Â
With Jupiter:Â Great ecclesiastical honor, leadership potential, success in military and public matters but possibly laziness and recognition or glory that is not earned and eventually lost.

Natal Jupiter Retrograde
Being born with Jupiter retrograde suggests there may have been a problem being happy and successful in a previous life. Some lessons or extra effort will be required in this life so you can become truly happy and content.
Jupiter’s planetary aspects and fixed star conjunctions will help describe the areas of life or the personality traits and behaviors that need extra development. The optimum Jupiter nature is broad-minded, happy, comfortable, and content. A healthy Jupiter continually grows and expands in philosophical and spiritual outlook. The aim is to be charitable, generous, friendly, and welcoming to everyone, regardless of social status, religion, cultural or ethnic background.
Natal Jupiter retrograde could cause greed, selfishness, gluttony, extravagance, wastefulness, or self-righteousness. Addiction, intolerance, bigotry, ignorance, or showing off might be holding you back. Whatever is stunting your personal and spiritual growth is what you must focus on. This could well have been an ongoing problem hindering success over many incarnations. Events or relationships will reinforce this life’s problem area, especially when Jupiter transits retrograde.
Comparing both President Trump’s chart and Kamala Harri’s chart, who do you think will be elected in Nov. of “24 please?
I think he answered this in another post- final answer- Kamala by a miniscual margin and questionable fairness (if I recall).
In the post on planetary meanings, he said he thinks trump will win. Doubtful though.
That’s right. Harris, but I think it’s 50/50 based on the astrology: 2024 US Election Prediction
Retro Jupiter sq POF. Direct again Jupiter sq natal Jupiter. All I know is that it’s been one thing after another. I have times lately when I feel that if one more thing gets added to my plate I will explode. I now force myself to go away and just get distracted by other’s lives and forget for awhile. Happiness goal is to feel human again by this time next year. Steps are being taken but it’s a slow crawl. Probably won’t get what all this really is until I get to look back at it.
Transiting Uranus (opp natal Saturn) going retro has released some tension. ????
Oh this got attached to Harris prediction somehow. My bad. But now I feel her joy. 🤣
I’d like to say I have decided to rise above it all. But it is too steep. I am going to have to function under it to slough it off. Jupiter retro also squares natal mars rx. I got me a t-square going on. Wonder what’s in the empty leg around me 21 sag. And find out exactly what that is supposed to mean
Kamala Harris, without a doubt.
According to many astrologers who post on YouTube, Harris will win. Also, Lichman, a historian predicts Harris. Also, many tarot readers favor Harris. Trump may not be around after the Mars opposes Pluto and Mars conjunct Mars aspects that will happen soon. Some astrologers think a third attempt will be made during this time.
Read your post on t-squares. Empty leg is what’s missing and felt you say? So there’s Atria at 21 sag. Psychic you say? Yeah I am missing the psychic alright or I wouldn’t be in this over-riding mess. People aren’t always who they say they are and can’t always deliver what they say they can. The word ‘posers’ comes to mind. So I trusted when I shouldn’t have and ended up in deep doo doo. It is one of the strangest and most complex delusions I have encountered. Working to get off their merry go round of pretense and stuck with doing damage control. And need some of that psychic stuff to see through.
So I need the psychic when I am in foreign territory, thatcwhich is foreign to me cuz so called experts or professionals may not be what they say they. Doesn’t Jupiter have to do with foreign lands and foreigners. How does Jupiter retro relate to all this fear of those from foreign lands going on? I am distracting myself again. 🤣
Conjunction with my Venus within 40 minutes of arc, not quite reaching it before Rx. Things seem smooth.
Mercury Jupiter. My head expands. As I discuss with others, I see trends. Now how not to fall victim to current trends.
Then the personal planets in my birth chart will be extra activated in the coming period. I have sun conjunct moon conjunct venus in Gemini and my mars is in Cancer. I was born just after the new moon.
Hmm…the amazon star…does sb have the horoscope of the bezos company ?
And is jupiter retrograde only negative but could be better for inner groth than outer expansion ?
This one hit with a bang. Interaction with an angry young man. He is usually withdrawn but jeesh. Dark dark rage. Frightening. The only other time I have experienced this was in the eyes of an inmate at a prison facility on sociology class field trip. We were warned do not look at inmates. But as security had him wrangled, he looked up. Those eyes. I can never forget them. Transiting Jupiter Mercury trine natal BML conj Pallas Athene forming grand trine.
The prison facility was for inmates who had problems dealing with prison life. Like preparing them to go back to prison prison. So hard core.
