The following is adapted from other newsletters about Jupiter direct, but the dates and degrees are different.
Although Jupiter technically stations direct on February 4th, the planet known as the Greater Benefic really hovers around the direct degree from January 13-February 28 so you can really consider it to be already stationing before the actual date and so the retrograde period for Jupiter is, for all intents and purposes, over, and moving forward, but will not go full force until about mid-February, when it really begins to gain momentum and speed, which does not always mean for the better. Things could indeed start to expand, improve, and become more profitable, but those in power may be too optimistic. and expand their powers in a way that ultimately can backfire. So even though Jupiter, which rules abundance, optimism, and prosperity, moves ahead, it also can rule unbridled power since the sky still consists of other planets that have a life of their own, especially Mars, which still retrogrades until February 24, 2025.
Jupiter does indeed bring support and opportunity, but it also requires morality, good judgment, and balance. While you can make money, you can also waste and spend it. These are times that are still surrounded with Mars retrograde until February 24, and then Venus will retrograde from March 1 through April 13, the lunar and solar eclipse will occur on March 14 and March 29, so Jupiter may not be able to be as benevolent as it might be in a few months from now. It is most important to see where it is in your own chart at the present time, since this might be a personal opportunity to create a business that succeeds and see a project that languished the last few months finally move forward. You can scroll below to see how it relates to your chart.
Many things that have languished will move forward with a jolt, and quickness that may take everyone by surprise. To counteract any negative Jupiter influence, we should use its influence for moral guidance and an ability to educate ourselves, travel, communicate with the world around us, and ultimately feel as if we are successful, financially stable, and most important peaceful, healthy, and happy. And this is what we can impart to others, since even though the aspects of the next few months are volatile, and outer planets are changing signs, Jupiter is still moving in direct motion through its next four-month retrograde period that will occur November 11, 2025-March 11, 2026.
In addition to Jupiter providing some hope to anything in the world or in your life that began October 9, 2024, when it first retrograded, it will still convey its general meaning of optimism, hope, luck, and opportunity. There should be expansive news and optimism in general and the feeling like you are coming out of a deep sleep even though ironically it is the winter in many parts of the world when you might want to stay inside and hibernate. It is a good time to break bad habits, and create new beneficial ones, very Jupiterian sentiments. The message is to try to find positivity in your life, even if things seem to be troublesome and problematic. There is always something that you can find that can give you strength or hope, so please do reach out if you find yourself alone and in a negative space. There is support all around.
Jupiter retrograde is a great time to review and restructure and Jupiter direct is a time to put everything you thought about and worked on into action. Go back to whatever you started to work on before it retrograded last October. You could also start something new. But in general, like all retrogrades, Jupiter, the Greater Benefic, stations direct and so many things that may have been languishing will start to take shape. Projects that you may have thought were finished may get revived, and if you want to sell a home, or apply for a new position, or begin something new this is now the perfect time to do so. Of course always remember that reality trumps astrology, meaning that realities of what happens in the world could prevent the positive forecast from going as smoothly as you like. Jupiter brings abundance, prosperity, opportunity, and social engagements so we may be getting some good news after all. The economy should start to look better that it had been, and real estate should begin to get more active again, and construction on new buildings and homes may move forward. Mostly it is a time of optimism, hope, and confidence in the things that mean the most to you, and for the situation in the world at large. Again, hope springs eternal.
