“Really, Jupiter?  You gotta retrograde, too?”   Let’s talk details.  Jupiter is considered an outer planet.  It is outside the asteroid belt and is classified a gas planet, which is the key differences between inner and outer planets.   Jupiter spends ONE year in a sign and therefore takes twelve years to go through the zodiac.  On June 9^th Jupiter entered Cancer, it was last here in 2013-2014 (June to July) and earlier 2001-2002 (July – Aug).     You may want to consider what was going on in your life at those times and if there are any similar themes speaking to you now.  

Of course, once a year Jupiter retrogrades for about five months and on November 11 Jupiter will station retrograde and travel from 25 back to 15 degrees of Cancer.   For those folks who have planets between these degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn you will feel the influence of Jupiter.   Watch out if you are being too big in endeavors, commitments, emotions and opinions.   Jupiter in all his gassy-ness can pump-anything-up.   In Cancer there is an accent on emotions and family and feeling the need to be ‘secure’ as defined by the individual.   Some of those big emotions might have legitimate reasons.  However, the answer or remedy could benefit by a calm, quiet response.   During this retrograde we will be processing our emotions and our opinions (including but not limited to, our opinions of our emotions).  If you know your chart look at the house with Cancer and see what themes feel “big”.     Once the retrograde concludes in March we could feel more resolved.
