Jupiter Retrograde-Rediscovering Our Emotional Truth

Jupiter, the biggest and luckiest planet in our solar system, will station retrograde on November 11th at 25° of Cancer. This giant Benefic will be retrograde for its entirety in the Moon-ruled sign of the Mother through 3/11/26. Jupiter rules the sign of Sagittarius, the season that will begin by month's end. During this four-month review phase, we will be revisiting and reconsidering what emotional growth, maturity, and freedom can truly feel like.

Jupiter is going within the very emotional soul body of our unconscious past to access the superconscious. During this time, we may gain greater insights into our historically held philosophical concepts and their deeper spiritual meanings. Higher perspectives can open our minds and hearts to new growth possibilities, and a greater Spiritual awareness can come in as a result. A perfect period to release any beliefs that suppress rather than support us. This will be a time to rise above the judgments and see the bigger perspective through the lens of our hearts.

Jupiter is always the harbinger of blessings, and this retrograde is no exception. The Gas Giant is within eight minutes of an exact Water trine to Saturn retrograde in Pisces, a supportive aspect, connecting us to our core. Jupiter expands everything that it touches, and with this connection to Saturn, we could potentially bring our grandiose dreams into a detailed reality. Jupiter offers optimism and growth, and Saturn symbolizes structure and long-term commitment. These two planets harmonizing encourage us to seriously seize the new opportunities that start to arise on a new timeline. By March of next year, we may be surprised at what we are currently emotionally vested in has grown!

During this trek through the emotional waters of Cancer, there will be a heightened awareness of family dynamics and the compassion, care, and support they provide-or the lack thereof. We may also find ourselves more conscientious of the needs of others we consider kin and a new willingness to be empathetic. Saturn in the story reminds us of the importance of appropriate boundaries.With Jupiter, always operate in the higher octave of the heart.

• Key themes:

  
  

  Emotional introspection: This period starts in Scorpio Season, prompting us to face our fears and learn to navigate emotions with more honesty and maturity.

  
  

  Focus on home and family: It can be a good time to focus on comfort at home, family, and creating security, whether through a move, finishing projects, or spending more time in existing relationships to strengthen them.

  
  

  Self-care: Jupiter in Cancer has a tendency to over-give. An intricate review of boundaries, processing our emotions, and guilt-free rest are encouraged.

  
  

• What to expect:

  
  

  This is a period for internal reflection and gaining clarity on where you are placing your energy, emotions, as well as who and what you are nurturing. Rather than a time for big external changes, this feels more like revelry coupled with a renewed awareness of what we are willing to commit to moving forward.
