What Jupiter retrograde means

Jupiter governs growth, luck, learning and belief. It turns retrograde once a year, for about four months.

Growth turns inward. A time to review beliefs and goals, and to consolidate what you have grown.

How to handle it

  • Revisit your long-term goals and what you really believe.

  • Consolidate gains instead of overextending.

  • Study or reflect on what expansion means to you.

Retrograde meanings are traditional astrological beliefs, for reflection and entertainment.
