Jupiter retrograde in Leo

Jupiter retrograde in Leo reviews confidence, creativity and self-expression. Big creative plans are revised, the need for recognition is examined and generosity is recalibrated. It suits refining creative projects before a larger launch.

It begins in Sagittarius season and ends in Aries season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Uranus in Aries — Dec 8 to Dec 21, 2014 (13 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Aquarius — Jan 21 to Feb 11, 2015 (21 days of overlap)
  • Saturn in Sagittarius — Mar 14 to Apr 8, 2015 (25 days of overlap)

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

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 2015

Previous

2014 Ended March 6, 2014 after 119 days, moving back 10.07° through the zodiac.

Next

2016 Begins January 8, 2016 and runs 122 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 2015
