Jupiter Retrograde - Blessings in Reverse
|
|
On July 23rd, Jupiter began its retrograde cycle in the constellation of Pisces, where it will continue until November 18th. Jupiter is a benefic planet, responsible for giving us a positive, optimistic outlook. As the planet is large so is it's domain. Religion, law, philosophy and spirituality, and that's just starters for this expansive planet. Known to be the planet of luck and fortune, it rules opportunity, prosperity and money. In Vedic astrology, when a benefic planet becomes retrograde, it somewhat reduces its power. It is still a benefic, but seems to lessen the ability to do good. Like Mercury retrograde periods, the energy seems to be turned inward and so it is a good time for evaluating. Jupiter is associated with our "dharma", or our duty in life and so now you may be feeling the whispering of "why am I here". The sense of purpose and creative expression is a driving force within all of us. So now is a good time to ask yourself, what inspires you? What is fulfilling, when do you feel truly joyful? Think back to those times in your life. It's possible that your gift, your purpose for being here now is overdue. Maybe you missed a clue along the way, took a wrong turn and ignored your spirit urging you to grow. This retrograde period is a good time to reflect. It is good for spending quiet time alone, or time meditating. Yes, this is Jupiter's blessing, and on November 18th it will be ready and waiting for your answer. It is said that when Jupiter is with us all of life and the Universe supports us.
