Jupiter Is Going Retrograde, And Things Are About To Get **Risky**
Jupiter goes into retrograde on April 10, 2019.
This means you'll be more inspired to grow and take risks that day and going forward.
Jupiter retrograde will affect all zodiac signs, but Sagittarius, Gemini, and Pisces will feel it the most.
Even if astrology isn’t your ~thing~, you’ve probably heard about Mercury going retrograde before (and all the panic it sets off in otherwise sane people). But since Mercury retrograde gets so much attention, you might not know that all the other planets go retrograde at some point, too-and each has a special meaning.
The next one to go retrograde is Jupiter, and it’s happening on April 10. Mark your calendar now, but in the meantime, take a sec to learn about this astrological event, because there’s plenty you need to know. Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta, breaks it all down.
What does it mean when Jupiter goes retrograde?
First things first: In astronomy speak, the word "retrograde" means that something is moving backwards, says Page. When Jupiter is going retrograde, it looks like it’s moving backwards from its usual orbit in the sky (which is pretty cool when you think about it).
In astrology, when planets go retrograde, you'll tend to feel the areas they rule a little more strongly, Page explains. Jupiter inspires people to grow and take risks, so you may find you’re a little more ballsy than usual around this time.
What does Jupiter in retrograde mean for your zodiac sign?
Overall, you’ll feel super enthusiastic and confident in pretty much all areas of your life, Page says. Um…sweet! Now is the time to get out there and apply for that job you’ve been too scared to go after, try that complicated recipe you Pinned for "some day," and ask someone you’ve been eyeing if they want to go on a date already.
You’ll also find yourself taking a beat and looking at big picture stuff, Page says. What is it that you really want to accomplish, and what are you doing to make it happen? How can you be the most awesome version of yourself?
Jupiter got you thinking about making a career change? Here's the best job for your sign:
At the same time, Venus is at the same degree as Neptune, stirring up a dreamy, romantic vibe. You may find yourself building up your S.O. in your mind…until they forget their keys (again) and bring you back to reality.
Jupiter retrograde will affect all zodiac signs, but Sagittarius, Gemini, and Pisces will feel it the most, Page says.
How will Jupiter’s retrograde impact the rest of your year?
Jupiter in retrograde will have you dreaming big and acting on things you may have been a little freaked out or nervous about before. And frankly, you could use a little more ballsiness in your life, right?
While it never hurts to go for what you want, don’t totally block out what other people say at the same time. If friends and family are telling you that your dream of moving to Tahiti to open up a coffee shop with no previous experience is a little…intense, maybe hear them out before doing anything drastic.
Ultimately, you’ll want to find a balance that’s right for you-and Jupiter in retrograde could help push you to do things that can have a big (and positive) impact on your future.
