Jupiter Retrograde 2020

Jupiter stations retrograde on Thursday, May 12, 2020, at 27°14′ Capricorn. The chart below shows Jupiter sitting between Saturn and Pluto. That sounds rather serious and pessimistic but a harmonious blue trine aspect to the Sun is the best of all aspects to have. So after three challenging retrogrades in the last two weeks, Jupiter retrograde 2020 brings optimism and good fortune.

Aspects

Sun trine Jupiter brings self-confidence, optimism, good fortune, and happiness. It encourages warm and harmonious relationships with everyone. It generally makes people more outgoing, adventurous, and enthusiastic.

This aspect has a positive spiritual influence that leads to good morals and ethics, generosity, charity, and acts of kindness. Journeys, studies, business deals, legal matters, and new relationships may provide opportunities for personal, spiritual, and material growth.

However, the introspective nature of retrograde planets suggests the focus will be more on inner growth and spiritual development. But increased comfort, wealth, and prosperity are still possible, as well as great feelings of satisfaction and contentment.

Sometimes this most fortunate of aspects can cause laziness and feelings of helplessness in times of hardship. There is also the possibility that the expansive nature of both Jupiter and the trine aspect can lead to an amplification of something negative. It could be an addiction or immoral behavior.

Sun trine Jupiter could amplify the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Yet Jupiter in retrograde motion could also result in a retardation of growth.

Jupiter conjunct Pluto makes you focused and driven to succeed at what you are most passionate about. A mix of intense effort and good luck could give you the power and influence to make a big difference in your life. Business success, wealth, travel, a promotion at work, or a better career are just some of the possibilities.

However, it is important to consider spiritual self-development because power and success could easily go to your head. Selfishness, greed, jealousy, or revenge should definitely not be your motivation. Instead, you should want to succeed to improve your life without harming others.

If you act in a ruthless, extreme, self-righteous, or obsessive way you are likely to face powerful forces acting against you. This could include trouble from superiors, government authorities, or the law. If you act morally and ethically you will grow spiritually and materially. Large-scale achievement and success are possible that would make you happy and content well into the future.

Sun trine Pluto brings intense and deep experiences. Greater power and influence over your own life allows for positive transformations. You can also exert this greater power and influence over the events in your life and over the people around you.

This is a good time for psychological self-analysis, research, investigation, uncovering secrets, and studying mysterious or challenging subjects like astrology. This is also a good time for eliminating bad habits, outdated beliefs, and clutter from your life.
