Jupiter Retrograde in Aries and Pisces: New Chapter of the Old Story

The planet of good fortune and abundance Jupiter stationed to go retrograde on July 28 – on the same day of the auspicious New Moon in Leo.

Jupiter in Aries formed a harmonious trine to the New Moon in its sister fire sign of Leo.

This is quite significant and will undoubtedly have an impact on this year’s retrograde cycle. This fiery energy is outright lucky and expansive.

It signifies the fact that this year’s retro cycle can grant lucky second chances in the areas of our lives activated by this transit.

It will impact the most those who have any planets or chart’s angles between 0-8 degrees of Aries and 28-30 degrees of Pisces (you can use a 5 degree orb).

This year’s retro cycle starts at 8 degrees of Aries on July 28 and ends at 28 degrees of Pisces on November 23.

Retrograde motion is when a planet appears to go backwards in its orbit, when observed from Earth. Astronomers refer to this as “apparent retrograde motion,” because it is just an optical illusion.

In Astrology, the significance of planets’ retrograde periods is much deeper and more meaningful than just an apparent motion.

What to expect from Jupiter Retrograde 2022?

Jupiter is asking us to go more inwards when it comes to our confidence, creative self expression and desire to initiate during its retro journey through bold, self assured Aries.

This fiery energy slows down, allowing us to step back and process our self-limiting beliefs.
Throughout its 4 months retrograde, Jupiter will revisit the last degrees of its home sign of Pisces. 

Its strength in this dreamy water sign was significantly activated this year through its conjunction with Neptune in Pisces on April 12.

Another side to the story is that Jupiter will reach 28 degrees of Pisces – the same degree it formed a tight conjunction with Venus at the time of the Solar Eclipse in Taurus on April 30.

Venus is exalted in the dreamy water sign of Pisces.

This auspicious conjunction of two benefics promised to bestow abundant blessings on all of us both individually and collectively at that time.

However, the heavy influence of the total Solar Eclipse in close proximity to unpredictable Uranus disrupted its full-fledged manifestation.

There is a great chance that this time around we will be able to witness a major resolution of tense situations and initiation of peace talks needed to free the world from ongoing conflicts when Jupiter dips back into Pisces.

This can trigger a major healing of psychological, emotional, and even physical wounds on both individual and collective levels.

The greater benefic Jupiter is known for delivering its finest goodies during its retrograde cycle.

There is certainly a lot to look forward to, especially for those lucky ones who have planets and chart’s angles in the final degrees of Pisces.

Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (or Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope.
