In astrology, Jupiter is associated with luck, expansion, and abundance
Photo-Illustration: by Preeti Kinha; Photos: Getty Images When you read “retrograde,” your mind probably goes to Mercury, the planet that undergoes a notorious reversal three to four times each year — and becomes a too-convenient scapegoat for all the chaos in our lives. But retrograde isn’t just relegated to Mercury. In fact, all planets experience retrograde cycles. And Jupiter is up next.
Jupiter is the first planet on the far side of the asteroid belt, which classifies it as an outer planet. Unlike the planets closer to the Sun, which have relatively fast orbits, the outer planets have longer journeys … and thus longer cycles. Accordingly, it takes Jupiter approximately 12 years to move through the entire zodiac, remaining in each sign for about one year.
So when is it happening? Right now! Jupiter went retrograde on Thursday, July 28, at 4:37 p.m. ET. Since May 10, 2022, Jupiter has been drifting through Aries, the zodiac sign associated with motivation, intensity, raw passion, and fearless independence. Between Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” track drop and the Little Miss memes taking over social media, Jupiter’s jaunt through Aries has, you could say, definitely been a vibe.
And what should I expect? Unlike some other retrogrades, Jupiter Retrograde is actually quite lovely. Simply, Jupiter will be retracing its steps, enabling us to spend a little more time exploring any opportunities we may have missed. Specifically, this will be inviting us to revisit happenings that occurred from May 1, 2022, through the present.
