Jupiter retrograde in Gemini

Jupiter retrograde in Gemini reviews learning, networks and ideas. Too many interests get pruned, contacts are reassessed and plans for study or writing are rethought. It suits deepening knowledge rather than collecting more.

…and back into Taurus

Jupiter retrograde in Taurus reviews growth in money, possessions and comfort. Investments are reconsidered, overindulgence becomes visible and people ask what security really means. It suits consolidating resources rather than expanding them.

It begins in Virgo season and ends in Capricorn season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Mercury in Libra — Sep 19 to Oct 1, 1976 (11 days of overlap)
  • Saturn in Leo — Nov 27 to Jan 15, 1977 (49 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Capricorn — Dec 28 to Jan 15, 1977 (18 days of overlap)

For the sign itself, see Gemini and its daily horoscope.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1976

Previous

1975 Ended December 10, 1975 after 118 days, moving back 9.96° through the zodiac.

Next

1977 Begins October 24, 1977 and runs 119 days.

Both dates are computed from the planet’s apparent motion, not taken from a table. A retrograde begins the moment its daily movement against the stars turns negative, and that moment is findable to the hour.
