Jupiter’s Going Retrograde In Scorpio – Here’s How It Will Affect Your Zodiac Sign

How Will The Jupiter Retrograde Affect You?

Jupiter is the planet of wealth. It symbolizes everything in our lives that has to do with expansion and profit and that includes money.

Unfortunately, this normally benevolent planet goes backward in the sky in the sign of Aquarius. When a wealth planet like this is retrograde, the message that all signs will be given is “It’s time to tighten your belt!” This will be especially true financially. We are going to hear more news about layoffs, unemployment rates rising, and bankruptcies.

As Jupiter is also symbolic of large corporations and banks, we are also probably going to be hearing more bad news about interest rates, foreclosures, and rising insurance rates. Jupiter is also the planet of charity in general and cuts to government programs that assist people who are poor are also likely to be in the news.

In general, people will seem to be a lot less willing to part with their money (even if there is a deal to be had) and they will also seem stingy emotionally. Unfortunately, when Jupiter goes backward, there is a tendency for people to be very competitive with each other. It creates a tendency to be selfish and emotionally stingy because there seems to be a sense that there is just not enough to go around.

If you are a sign that is friendly to Jupiter, like Leo, you may find yourself doing something like withdrawing affection from a loved one. If you are a Scorpio (another sign in which Jupiter is exalted), you might find yourself being just a bit more cutthroat in business, not because you want to be, but because you will be convinced that somebody wants your job.

When Jupiter is backward, we also tend to have less faith in our leaders. We may see less faith in their ability lead us out of dark times and it may be difficult for many Zodiac signs to see any kind of light at the end of the tunnel financially. In essence, this retrograde, which does not end until May 13th, is going to be quite rough on all signs.

So what is the upside of a Jupiter retrograde? For many Zodiac signs, it will simply be easier to lose weight. As Jupiter is a planet of expansion, its retrograde motion causes contractions in all matters. Unfortunately, most people will feel this in their bank account rather than anything else.

Here is how this long and dawdling Jupiter retrograde is going to affect each sign for the next few months, starting March 8th.

 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You are most likely going to feel this Jupiter retrograde in the area of career. You may find a pet project is put on hold. It also may be a bit harder for you to get paid than usual and by mid-spring, you may be getting awfully sick of hearing how the check is in the mail.

Jupiter going backward in the sky may also have the effect of making you feel tired and a little less enthusiastic about working too hard for a living. It is okay to sit back, relax, and try and wait out this recession if you have to.

On the upside, this backward Jupiter will definitely give you more time to spend with family. I will also help you if you are trying to reach a weight loss goal.

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 21)

When Jupiter goes backward in the sky, many Bulls often feel the pain of a real sacrifice. Usually, this means giving up a luxury object or not being able to buy something self-indulgent, such as that gas-eating SUV or the latest kitchen gadget.

Many Taurus individuals will also have to curb their spending when it comes to buying liquor and food. In the end, this may be good for this sign’s health as their love of cooking tends to make them a little bit overweight.

Bulls are simply going to have to lower their expectations and learn how to budget themselves this spring. Your challenge may be how to transcend the disappointment you always feel when you are unable to get what you want immediately.

 

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

The Jupiter retrograde is going to do wonders for your health. If you are an overweight Gemini, then you are definitely going to lose weight before this summer.

You could have some challenges to do with money, but you will not be as affected as some signs. The main effect of the Jupiter retrograde will be a lessening of your always large workload. It is highly recommended that you take this enforced vacation from work and turn it into a positive chance to get some rest and also get in shape physically.

Doing things that you used to do as a kid and not worrying too hard about responsibility is your best course of action until May. Jupiter moving backward also favors divorce so these months from March to May are also ideal for finalizing any kind of separation.

 

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

March is going to be a big month for you Crabs. You are most likely going to feel this Jupiter retrograde in the area of career. You may find a pet project is put on hold. It also may be a bit harder for you to get paid than usual and by mid-spring, you may be getting awfully sick of hearing how the check is in the mail.

Jupiter going backward in the sky may also have the effect of making you feel tired and a little less enthusiastic about working too hard for a living. It is okay to sit back, relax, and try and wait out this recession if you have to.

On the upside, this backward Jupiter will definitely give you more time to spend with family. I will also help you if you are trying to reach a weight loss goal.

You may face some financial losses while Jupiter goes retrograde this spring. It could be that your property becomes worthless or that you are forced to pay more interest on a mortgage or a debt.

Jupiter retrograde can also provoke a divorce or loss of a significant relationship. Whatever the loss is, you won’t have the opportunity to cry over spilled milk as you will be put in a position where your priority is making money. For many Crabs, this is going to mean working two jobs to make ends meet.

The upside is that when Jupiter goes retrograde like this, it has the effect of simplifying and organizing your life. Your priorities will become clearer and one of the things you may realize is that spending time with your family might be the ideal thing to do for the next few months.
