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.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 1977

Previous

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

Next

1978 Begins November 25, 1978 and runs 120 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.

Computed for 1977

Jupiter through the zodiac in 1977

Every sign Jupiter occupies during 1977, with the dates it enters and leaves. A sign that appears twice means the planet backed into the previous sign during a retrograde and crossed again.
