Yes, another planet is going retrograde or in backward motion. Jupiter in Virgo will be retrograding late tonight and joining the Mercury in Aquarius/Capricorn retrograde. This is not the end, but just the beginning of the retrograde season for 2016.
Do not fret as all of the retrogrades will give us all a chance to take a look back on our lives since at least 2012, if not the last 20 years; digest our lessons and decide how to move forward come 2017.
O.K., let’s get down to it – Jupiter in Virgo has the energy of aligning with our fullest potential and will ride through this sign until August, but right now he is turning things around a little- so what to expect? Many of you will begin to see everything with a brand new Perspective! I mentioned Perception in my weekly messages this week and that the energy would hold until May/June -you can check out my forecast here: Weekly Messages & Energy Forecast through May 2016
With the help of Mercury Retrograde asking us to rethink, relax and retreat; Jupiter Retrograde is asking us to slow it down and listen to our inner being. What is your gut telling you to do? If you can still your mind and your body, you will be able to hear your inner being more easily during this time.
You want to take this time to think of each aspect of your life and ask yourself if you are truly happy. Do you love your job? How about your friendships and relationship? Do you like the relationship with yourself? What have you been lying to yourself about? Jupiter is really offering you a gift right now and you should take full advantage of this magic so that you can change and grow and be the happiest, best you that you can be. Living to your fullest potential is the energy of Jupiter in Virgo.
On the flip side of this wonderful and magical Mystery Gift that I speak of in my Energy Forecast above, is that if you allow it, negative traits can be overly exaggerated during the next 4 months, so it is imperative that you stay positive and optimistic otherwise this Jupiter Retrograde can show up as greed, gluttony, selfishness, over indulgence, addiction, wrath, wastefulness, racism, pride and lastly- self-righteousness. These energies will only stunt your growth, however, if they show up for you, then you really have to deal with them and learn how to transform and over come them. Jupiter is giving you a chance to recognize these things that live within each and every one of us; some have mastered them, some are getting ready to.
You will be tested by this Jupiter and some twists and turns may pop up during the next few months just to see if you are ready for further abundance, a new romance, a new job, a new home – whatever it is you are desiring, you just may be tested. I know that my Soul will be tested, it already was today and I failed; I failed big. I was able to take a step back and I was grateful that my ugliness showed up early because I learned a huge lesson and realized I still have quite a ways to go myself! We all get a chance to change and grow now.
One final note, expect our relevant issues that we need to look at to show up. You may have a splash of misfortune and disappointment showing up for a minute, but at the end of this retrograde expect to be given the Mystery Gift of a new chance, a fresh beginning full of hope, love and life. xoxo Kim
