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

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 2040

Previous

2039 Ended April 17, 2039 after 121 days, moving back 10.02° through the zodiac.

Next

2041 Begins February 14, 2041 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.
