Jupiter Retrograde in Aquarius

Hi Everyone, I thought now would be a wonderful opportunity to share what is going on in the cosmos so you too can get a sense of what your life path is asking of you at this time by outlining the cycle of Jupiter in Retrograde created by Joe Ivory using the wonderful tool of astrology.

Astrology (from Greek ἄστρον, astron, "constellation, star"; and -λογία, -logia, "the study of") is a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs which hold that the relative positions of celestial bodies and related details can provide information about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial matters.

Astrologers believe that the movements and positions of celestial bodies either directly influence life on Earth or correspond to events experienced on a human scale.[3] Modern astrologers define astrology as a symbolic language,[4][5][6] an art form, or a form of divination

Jupiter Retrograde in Aquarius – Holding the Vision for our Future...

As you may know, Jupiter is known as the planet of luck, expansion, hope, grace, favor and fortune. It went retrograde on June 15, and won't go forward until October 13^th. So since many of us are under the gun now, the pressure for us to transform our inner being and outer path will be unbelievable.

Traditionally, Jupiter brings wealth, success, abundance, and optimism. Jupiter is concerned with the expansion of our lives and the direction of our destiny to enable us to channel and manifest the greatest potential in our lives. However, when friendly Jupiter turns retrograde, it's like all of the things in our lives that were moving along successfully, do an about face and go the other direction. What we experience shouldn’t be considered bad luck, but rather a run of reversals that will enable us to reexamine and rethink our lifestyles, attitudes, commitments and choices.

Under this Jupiter Retrograde it will seem like everything attempted requires three times the normal effort. It’s not a good period to initiate, commit to or begin new ventures. This applies to financial investments as well as job changes. Rather, it’s a time to finish projects and an excellent opportunity to pay attention to relationships, as well as a time to gain a better perspective on life and your inner self. The major emphasis of a Jupiter retrograde period is on inner awareness and inner growth.

In a way, it has some beneficial features, since it’s a time to wind up affairs of the past so you can be free to move forward into the path that is truly one your Soul desires. That's perfect for many of us at this time.

It's a time to really do some inner work... to check yourself to be sure you’re not living a phony life or a false existence that in the end will benefit no one, especially yourself… try to move away from self-serving goals to become a whole person. It’s a spiritual time for reconstruction of your psyche, to match it with your life path and true spiritual intentions. The retrograde has a lot to do with re-envisioning your role in life and how you define your destiny and true purpose.

It's interesting that during this time of reversal, if some wonderful opportunities arise, it will be the result of the seeds or ideas you planted in the past with people, organizations or movements. These wonderful beginnings will seem out of place within the definition of a retrograde, but they will be appearing at this time to open a gateway to the renewed self that should emerge as the result of the retrograde.

It's a time to rethink, replan, renew and commit to your true path. For some of you, it could be a time to reconstruct your plan of attack on how to market yourself. Perhaps to rearrange or restyle the format of your life to include some new aspects or to delete some that now seem redundant in light of your new perspectives (especially now that many of us are free for the first time)!

It has a lot to do with your connection to your inner circle of friends and loved ones and how you are supported as you help one another. Never before has our destiny been so reliant on the support of our chosen families and friends… to help us create and manifest our greatest dreams! For many the retrograde could trigger a health issue since your body is a proof screen that allows you to see where you are out of balance. This period offers the perfect opportunity for self-inquiry to enable you to connect to the thoughts and emotions that are associated with your inner dialogue.

This may be your perfect opportunity to reexamine those areas of your life where you are experiencing less than perfect health and harmony. It’s a time to go within and be present with yourself... getting to know the real you (as in the movie The King and I) “getting to know all about you” – the chance to see what your shadow side is showing you. To bring light to the dark and create an incredible future.

Carl Jung said. “not by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious." It affords you the opportunity to see how you’ve been operating... and then through self examination understanding what is distressing you since it will manifest as a bodily malady.

The Jupiter Retrograde is a time for a personal tune-up and adjustment. To identify, rethink, reevaluate and change your life style and habits.

Hope this helps.…there are many adjustments for you to activate between now and the latter part of the year. I know can do it and for all that you ask for May it be the least you receive!
