May 17, 12:58 PM STARTING A BUSINESS:

Jupiter Retrograde does rules HEALING but it is not always best for business, unless it is Healing or Humanitarian.

What do you do if you must open with a Retrograde Planet? You can start you business anytime but have a Grand Opening, its birth chart, at another time that is more propitious. I have done this before myself.

Check my Astro-Column for good dates or write to me personally to be placed on my mailing list.

Jupiter R does not normally affect business dealings. It is more relevant in the conception chart for a business, not the deals the business makes. To initiate a deal, use the Best Dates that I list either on my monthly astro-column or on the upper right column. This takes you to a site in Italy where Laura posts my column but I do send it out privately for those who request this.

May 24, 06:56 AM GENERAL INFORMATION:

My articles on R seem very popular but, to be honest, the retrogrades from Jupiter out are not that important. They are retrograde for half of the year, every year. They do work in the manner that I have described in the articles.
But, to say that 6 months out of every year life will be easy…it just does not work this way.

For myself, I only look at Mercury-Venus-Mars when retrograde and they really work at a personal level.

For an “easy time,” you need to look at your progressions and transits. These will indicate the times when there is an easier path. I do not find that Jupiter transits indicate an easier path though. Uranus-Neptune-Pluto, when well aspected, create favorable opportunities. Also, the House that Saturn transits will indicate the dominant area of your life.

May 29, 11:42 PM RECONNECTING WITH OLD FRIENDS: This is actually more common when Venus is Retrograde. Jupiter R is better for repairing previously strained relationships. Look to those periods when the transiting Jupiter is well aspected to the Personal Planets, such as Venus. the Moon or planets in the 7th House

QUESTIONS REGARDING JOBS:
I have stated this several times in this section – Jupiter R has nothing to do with one’s job situation. One has to look at the Outer Planet transits as they trigger big changes.
The Progressed Moon and Saturn cycles give more specific timing.
With the economic situation being as it is, it is really difficult for astrologers to predict WHEN someone will get a job just from the natal chart. I strongly recommend a HORARY reading for a specific question – When will I get a job? Why can I not get a job? (It could be a lousy resume!) Will this business venture be successful?
I provide this service for my regular clinets only but Googling “Horary Astrologrs” could find some contacts. Alphee LaVoie and Judy (friend in Baltimore) do provide these services.

RENEA: Yes, you got the answer. Jupiter is R so much that it has nothing to do with the job.

If I was in your situation, I would have a horary chart calcuated for WHEN WILL I GET A JOB? I am not a horary astrologer so I do not provide this service. This is a chart calculated for the date-time-place you ask the question and it subsequently gives you the answer.

I have not been successful telling someone when they will get a job. Sometimes there can be upcoming great transits but the person is looking in the wrong job area (one psychologist wanted to inspire workers in corporations…in this economy??!!), the person has a terrible resume (this happens a lot) or they expect the perfect job to come to them magically.

JUPITER TURNING RETROGRADE BY PROGRESSION (12-2011): These are my lecture notes from my medical astrology course…

JUPITER:

Jupiter is a slow moving planet and, by progression, the fastest that it moves is one degree in four years. When Jupiter changes signs, how you relate to others and to what you relate in general experiences a shift. It describes our faith and belief system.

When Jupiter changes signs, it will be at 0° for at least 4 years. When one belief system or world view ends, the 0° period marks a time of Questing, searching for a new belief system in the life. There is not always a religious quest but it is spiritual and philosophical.

One woman experienced this period, the turn around cycle, as a time when she did not know what to do with her life. She had just graduated from college with a liberal arts degree. This prepared her for nothing. She did not know what she wanted to do or what career skills she possessed. She saw this as a wake up call for living in the real world.

Typical of natal planets at 0°, she had to learn everything herself, to “get a life” and to do this all alone without help or assistance from anyone.

One woman embarked upon a metaphysical quest when Jupiter entered 0° but, when it entered 1°, these studies and lifestyles became a much more active part of her life. She could not longer stay in the closet about her new beliefs.

When Jupiter shifts direction, our personal philosophies, how we relate to the world and to whom we relate will dramatically change. It is a cycle for seeking out inner meanings. Relating becomes more spiritual and philosophical. We can no longer relate superficially.

The individual can actually become less social but not because of a lack of self-worth, as with Venus Retrograde. An event or experience jolts the individual into a new sense of values, no longer judging by appearances.

Psychologically, Jupiter rules role playing, living up to the expectations of others, presenting yourself as something that you are not in order to win approval. This is phony role playing. Almost always, the Jupitarian person is extremely creative but the message was that “playing the piano is not a job so become a doctor, account or an engineer…just creativity is just for hobbies.” Making money, having a big house, driving a fancy car are all more important than what is on the inside of a person.

When Jupiter turns retrograde, money and material possessions just do not seem important anymore. Playing the role, playing the game, no longer appeals to the individual.

During the transition period or station, events can affect finances, ideals, philosophies, aspirations, education and a distant journey could be the trigger.

Problems can arise from being impractical (being judged as impractical because the individual has actually changed), disregarding of details or being too philosophical, especially if Jupiter makes any difficult aspects by progression.

I should add that Jupiter rules our sense of moderation and proportion – how much is too much, how much is not enough, do I have enough time to get to my appointment or am I out on a limb in this matter. Some people are never on time and others arrive much too early because they are not sure how long it will take to travel.

People with weight issues can have difficulties with Jupiter because they did not know portions or how much they are eating. These excesses can cause health problems, not just related to weight. When we play a role for the approval or friends and family, this can lead to diabetes. If we work too hard and push ourselves beyond what our bodies can support, this can trigger high blood pressure and heart disease.

Jupiter turning retrograde can help the individual get off this never-ending treadmill of seeking the approval of something or someone outside of ourselves. Jupiter turning retrograde can assist us to make changes that favorably impact our health.

When Jupiter turned retrograde in the 9th House, one student experienced a great shift in values. She was born with a Direct Jupiter. She loved to entertain and socialize, probably because she could showcase her lovely home and impress the boss. When Jupiter turned Retrograde, he father passed away (unusual for Jupiter turning Retrograde but it was a catalyst). Suddenly, she let go of many old relationships, feeling that they were superficial and no longer important. She could no longer play the social games. Moreover, she lost all interest in entertaining.

When Jupiter turns direct, it becomes easier for the individual to move in the world of externals. They do not lose their spiritual or philosophical focus but they find that they can carry this into formal, material and worldly applications.

Goals can change – what the individual relates in a different manner. There is a new practicality – the sense of moderation and proportion improves. There can be an improved financial circumstance. Broadening experiences are focused into material accomplishment.

One student experienced Jupiter turning Direct when she was 15 years old. She had always been a shy person but, when Jupiter changed direction, she blossomed, being more social, outgoing and popular.

A change, move or education is often the catalysts. Another student said that she was very shy while attending a school where most of the students came from very wealthy families. When Jupiter turned direct, she changed to a school where the families were mostly lower middle class. This gave her a psychological edge in dealing comfortably with her new friends. It was easy to be with these people, who were more down-to-earth and friendly. This allowed her to blossom.

UJJVAL (12-2011): Since I never use this transit in my interpretations, I cannot give you an answer. John Townley wrote a book on cycles, including the Jupiter cycles. This book would give you an answer but I cannot find it — holiday mess.

In my work, I only use transits of Saturn Out, Secondary Progressions to Natal and Progressed to Progressed, especially the Progressed Moon.
Since I cover a 3-year period in my readings, I cannot spend time on the minor transits. However, many people like to look at these in terms of cycles in their personal chart.

I would not change my interpretation for Retro-to-Retro, just the Jupiter cycle. You actually asked a good question and, if I find the book, I will give an interpretation.

You would also have to note whether it is an applying or separation Square.

Hi Lynn,

As i was gng through ur opinion regarding jupiter R, the thing which i come across is reconnecting with the lost relationship, as many people have backstaped me n due to which i was hurt much by people, so will this transit helps me to reduce my stress which i m facing.

UJJVAL (1-2012):
Many years ago, I would look at Saturn D-R-D to see what would happen. If felt that, if you did not make a correction with the first D transit, the Retrograde would give you an opportunity to re-evaluate or make some connection. If this was done, not much would happen with the last transit

If a 3rd transit is very short (1 week in duration), nothing may happen. The longest transit — which usually happens when the transiting planet Station at the degree of your natal planet — is usually the most difficult because it lasts so long.

RESMA & ANKUR: The only thing that Jupiter R will do is to help you gain insights into what happened that caused the breakup in a relationship — especially if you are part of the problem.

NELLA (1-2012): While this is an unusual question, it is a good question. Your birth chart is always calculated for the time of the first breath…in 1950.
The progressed chart for 1973 with transits can show what was going on at the time of the accident. Also, if you had a Near Death Experience, look for Solar Arc Septiles near the time of the accident. There is an article on Septiles on my webiste but I have not updated the dates yet.

I have a friend who believes that, as a result of an accident, she is a Walk-In (another Soul took over) but, as an astrologer, her original birth chart still works.

Youre so right. Im there with you. Your weblog is undoubtedly worth a read if anyone comes across it. Im lucky I did because now Ive obtained a whole new view of this. I didnt realise that this issue was so important and so universal. You certainly put it in perspective for me.
