Jupiter retrograde in Virgo

Jupiter retrograde in Virgo reviews work, health and service. Expansion in career slows for reassessment, health routines are reconsidered and perfectionism is questioned. It suits improving systems quietly.

It begins in Capricorn season and ends in Taurus season.

Also retrograde at the same time

  • Uranus in Gemini — Jan 12 to Feb 12, 2028 (32 days of overlap)
  • Mercury in Aquarius — Jan 24 to Feb 14, 2028 (21 days of overlap)
  • Pluto in Aquarius — May 9 to May 13, 2028 (4 days of overlap)
  • Venus in Gemini — May 10 to May 13, 2028 (3 days of overlap)

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 2028

Previous

2027 Ended April 13, 2027 after 121 days, moving back 10.03° through the zodiac.

Next

2029 Begins February 10, 2029 and runs 123 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.
