Jupiter Retrograde in Sagittarius Apr 10 – Aug 11 2019

Jupiter the planet of expansion, and doing things on a lofty scale has been in its home sign of the Archer Sagittarius since November 2018. With optimistic Jove back in his domain, the abundance, the easier flow and lift in spirits should be amplifed in certain parts of you life, depending on where this energy falls in your natal chart. On the same note, that optimism has a tendency to turn starry-eyed, stretch you too far, swerve you off-track and create overindulgence, releasing your arrows in all directions with no definite target.

Once Jupiter in Sag goes retro, you will have a chance to slowdown, reflect, turn the expansion inward. This opportune time will allow you to re-evaluate your abundance, what you do with it and how you’ve use it by applying the higher meaning of both the Archer and Jupiter. The combination also highlights philosophy, moral and ethical attitudes, the two being the Teacher and TruthSeeker in the celestial belt.

One of the impactful aspects during this retro transit will be with highly intuitive Neptune in Pisces. The square would have normally caused significant tension but since Jupiter is Pisces ancient ruler, the language is familiar, they will speak with understanding and cohesion. The square will illuminate an inner vision, but may, at first, point to illusions, a cloudy layer of self-deception, a misguided drawing of your bow. This will help distinguish between distraction and excess, towards the direction of your higher purpose, and what aligns with your internal self.

By the time Jupiter in Sagittarius goes direct, you would have taken conscious stock of the amount of arrows in your quiver, place the abundance of energy and effort to sharpen your tools, practice your shots, to maintain confidence and a consistent angle towards your true aim!
