Jupiter retrograde in Virgo (January, 8th – May, 9th, 2016)

In Antiquity, Jupiter was considered „The Great Benefic“, a planet that brings luck and development wherever appears. Leading us to a higher purpose, Jupiter also offers us the means and the occasions to achieve this purpose.









From August 12th, 2015 to September 9th, 2016, Jupiter transits Virgo, this analytical, meticulous and practical sun sign, governed by the intellectual Mercury.

We showed you HERE what Jupiter in Virgo means for each Sun Sign.

But what about Jupiter retrograde? The planet is moving backwards from January, 8th to May 9th 2016. He remains helpful, but the way he helps us can be different, during retrograde movement. He indicates what we have to change or to develop stronger than before, so that we continue to improve our life.
