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 Libra season and ends in Aquarius season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Mars in Aries — Sep 24 to Oct 28, 1988 (34 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Libra — Sep 28 to Oct 20, 1988 (21 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Aquarius — Jan 16 to Jan 20, 1989 (4 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 1988

Previous

1987 Ended December 15, 1987 after 118 days, moving back 9.97° through the zodiac.

Next

1989 Begins October 29, 1989 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.
