Jupiter retrograde in Gemini

…and back into Taurus

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 1989
Jupiter through the zodiac in 1989
Every sign Jupiter occupies during 1989, 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.
