Jupiter Retrograde: More Is Not Always The Answer

Jupiter is, at his core, an optimist. He genuinely believes in the abundance of the universe, the goodness of human potential, the likelihood that things will work out. That optimism is one of his greatest gifts — it is the force behind every bold venture, every leap of faith, every decision to try something that might not work but might be magnificent.

During retrograde, Jupiter asks the optimist to do the hardest thing an optimist ever has to do.

Sit still. Be honest about what isn't working. Resist the urge to immediately reframe the disappointment into a lesson, the failure into a setup for a comeback, the contraction into a story about imminent expansion. Just sit with what is, without immediately making it mean something hopeful.
