Jupiter Goes Retrograde—But it’s OK, it’s Not Mercury

Jupiter turns retrograde giving us an opportunity to refocus its power of expansion on things we want. Here's a quick guide to using Jupiter's power during this retrograde motion.

In sstrology, Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, represents expansion.  When you want to expand something; your mind, your bank account, your influence, you are activating your Jupiter (the one in your personal chart). 

Jupiter can also expand things you may not want; bills, obligations, your waistline, etc., it all depends on where you put your focus. Jupiter turned retrograde in Taurus and will be going backward from Aug 30 until Christmas Day and this gives us a chance to refocus Jupiter’s power of expansion on things we want.  How do we do that? 

It’s easy, we just ask the question and Jupiter, also the planet of knowledge, will give us the answer. People can, you know, change their lives by just asking positive questions. Tony Robbins says, “focus is controlled by questions, ask positive, life affirming questions and you will see positive results.”
