Jupiter retrograde in Sagittarius, its home sign, reviews beliefs, travel and higher learning. Plans for expansion abroad or in study pause for reflection, and convictions are questioned. It suits refining a personal philosophy.

…and back into Scorpio

Jupiter retrograde in Scorpio reviews shared resources, intimacy and transformation. Debts, investments and emotional bonds are re-examined. It suits deep research and letting go of what no longer serves.

It begins in Pisces season and ends in Cancer season.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Jupiter retrogrades either side of 2042

Previous

2041 Ended June 18, 2041 after 123 days, moving back 9.91° through the zodiac.

Next

2043 Begins April 20, 2043 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.
