What is Jupiter retrograde?
A retrograde planet looks as if it is moving backward through the zodiac. It is an optical effect. All planets keep moving forward, but when Earth overtakes or is overtaken by another planet, that planet seems, for a while, to slide back against the stars. Think of passing a slower car on a motorway: for a moment it appears to drift backward. Thai astrology calls this พักร.
Jupiter retrograde in astrology
When Jupiter is retrograde, growth turns inward. Outer expansion slows while you reconsider your beliefs, goals and sense of meaning. Opportunities may seem less obvious, which is a chance to ask what you truly believe in and what is worth pursuing. It suits study, reflection and refining your philosophy. Be careful not to overpromise, and let your optimism rest on what you have actually earned.
