Jupiter, the largest planet of our Solar System, is in retrograde motion for

approximately 4 months every year. This means that approximately one

third of the population is having the planet retrograde in their natal chart. Aretrograde natal planet is signifying that its energies are turned inwards, at

least for the beginning of the natives life.

Any planet being retrograde during the natives birth, indicates that the

planet and the things it rules in his life are strongly connected with previous

lives through arma. As Jupiter is the planet responsible for expansion,

such a natal condition maes him expand inwards instead of manifesting in

the material reality. !i can act lie a huge sponge, absorbing positivity from

the surroundings. As Jupiter is the natural ruler of the "thhouse, he is

tending to inhale abstract nowledge and aids the formation of

philosophical systems in the natives mind. #ventually, the planets energy

will turn outwards and all its cumulated energy will radiate towards the

world. $f natal Jupiter is in a house connected with material ownership such

as the %ndor the 4th, his retrograde natal status will help in developing

wealth or possessions that will later be used for a prosperous living.

&ost people have more than one planet retrograde in their natal chart, and

it is rather difficult to find a person that has all his natal planets direct.

Therefore, we should understand that the armic connection to previous

lives is a rule affecting most of the population, and should be regarded as a

tool to understand ourselves.

Jupiter is the most benefic planet and thus even when natally retrograde,

his traits remain positive. 'et, he will have an influence on the time when

his powers start acting benevolently, maing the individual a late bloomer.

(y looing in which house he is natally placed, one can understand which

life are will bloom and develop later in life.

The native will experience a feeling of preparing for a big )ump in life, andwill subconsciously structure himself to be ready for the correct time.

Jupiter will help him absorb all the needed information and mae other

preparations, so that he uses his experience wisely. *eople with Jupiter

retrograde should not rush concerning the matters of the house he is

present, as waiting for the right age to mae steps forward can be +uite

beneficial. $n fact, Jupiter usually triggers himself the positive events that

will lead towards expansion.

The individual must understand that Jupiters expansive tendencies can

also bring some troubles, mostly connected with overflow of things. The

planet can give too much of something, even if that something is desired.

hen its energies are turned inwards, there are dangers of over-thining.$n addition, it can mae one indulge into abstract and higher meanings that

do not really have some useful functions in everyday reality, no matter how

wise and correct they can be. The person may be lay and impractical,

especially if Jupiter is adversely aspected. /n the other hand, the time

dedicated to procrastination might help him develop interesting

philosophical models in his mind.

A common effect of a retrograde Jupiter is doubts in self-esteem. Actually,

the native can be even +uite sure about himself and his +ualities, yet can

be shy and unsure about whether the world will also value his

characteristics the same way that he does. A retrograde Jupiter can bring

feelings of guilt about pride, even if the native totally deserves praise for

certain things and can be proud about his accomplishments.

0etrograde Jupiter indicates that during previous lives the individual may

have experienced trouble concerning the law or the church, due to different

opinions about how the system should function. $n addition, he may have

also experienced difficulties during long travels, or connected to foreigners

and people of other cultures and religions. This pattern can be recreated in

the current lifetime, maing the individual yearn for traveling but postponing

it, or elsehow eeping himself reserved about "thhouse life matters

expansion. $nstead, he can spend a lot of time fantasiing about distant

)ourneys and read a lot about foreign traditions.

1uring the present lifetime, Jupiter will mae the native reevaluate moraland religious systems. !e will not accept new types of beliefs easily, and

will have a lot of doubts about the correctness of the law. $n addition, the

retrograde status of Jupiter can bring disappointment considering the

dominant laws and morality of the social system.

/n the other hand, the hesitation to )ump into new spiritual systems can

protect a person during his young age from )oining religious organiations

that can harm him or lead towards delusions. The native will tend to raise

an eyebrow before accepting theories, and will not easily become a fanatic

or a ealot of a new spiritual road.

/f course, the retrograde condition of a natal Jupiter gives a lot of different

traits depending on the house where it is located. #ven though there is no

general rule of when a retrograde planet starts to function properly, expect

that by your 23ies you will notice the planet to have operating outwards too.

1ifferent astrological systems suggest various ways of calculating the

change of a planets direction through progressions. 'et it is +uite safe to

say that the more we mature the more Jupiter opens up towards the world

around us.
