Retrograde Jupiter in Birth Chart-What is the Indication?

When Jupiter is retrograde, Native is too much caught in the ideas of guilt conscious. And because of being too guilt conscious, he always feels insecure, always try to get validation from others, always eager to hear from others that he is a good man. He needs certification of being good, because he is constantly fighting the battle of being guilt conscious.

Jupiter is the Guru and our first Guru in life is our Father. Now when Guru is Retrograde then it is obvious that there is some problem or issue with the Father. Either there will be differences with the Father or the Father will be a very unique person and that the native cannot truly relate with the thoughts of his or her father.

When Jupiter is Retrograde, the Native will going to commit certain action (Karma) in the state of ignorance however when he feel that he is wrong, then he will go through self-transformations. So ideally Retrograde Jupiter is a story of a Ignorant Native transforming into a wise man, of course in the later age of life because self-growth tends to delay when Jupiter is Retrograde. Retrograde Jupiter is the indication of certain challenges when it comes to seeking a spiritual mentor.

No matter whether Jupiter is a beneficial planet or not in Birth Chart, Retro Motion always is a State that demands that we pause to introspect in the matters ruled by Jupiter as well as the matters that fall under the house ruled by Jupiter in our Ascendant chart/Moon chart. Retrogression of Jupiter is a signal to Pause, to Introspect, to Reflect.

Now, it is the question that why we are born with a message to Pause and Introspect?

Because, we are going wrong, we are doing something wrong and so the existence gives us a chance to Pause and introspect in the form of Retrograde Jupiter. We needs to get the balance right between action and reflection. With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to Pause and make evaluation. Retrograde Jupiter is a indication, that the native has been allocated this life to Pause and make evaluation of his own doings, his level of awareness and also his mistakes. Basically, in simple words, it is a golden opportunity to get ourselves right by being more introspective.

Retrograde Jupiter is a golden opportunity that makes us go deeper and deeper into ourselves, in self-inquiry. When Retrograde Jupiter is placed with malefic planets or have malefic planetary aspects then the native simply is not able to take advantage of such a golden opportunity to reinvent oneself. It is said that when things are bad, it is time to reinvent ourselves. Retrograde Jupiter gives us this chance to reinvent ourselves however if Rahu gives obstruction or if Retrograde Jupiter sign lord is also retrograde or ill-placed then this opportunity to reinvent ourselves goes down the drain. Reinventing ourselves is a chance to Rise back in this life. Rising every time we fall is the greatest glory. Retrograde Jupiter is thus a state in which we can rise every time we fall. It is a sign that the native will Never Give Up and will continue to reinvent himself no matter how difficult the path is.

Retrograde Jupiter in Birth Chart is like a wake-up call to help ourselves realize that there is no such thing called self-made man because man is merely a tool whatever happens happens with his (God) grace only.

Jupiter is the teacher or say Guru. Retrograde Jupiter usually never knows when to stop giving advice. We can be very knowledgeable yet we do not know how to use our knowledge in the right way. We can also mistrust our own wisdom. On a positive level we can give look at issues with a very different viewpoint. We will also give advice that is unconventional and different. Jupiter is the karaka of children in Astrology. When Jupiter is retrograde, it will definitely give children despite what else is promised otherwise in the chart. Jupiter rules the Aakash element and Aakash deals with the knowledge, wisdom, our ability to purify, to repel the negative forces. Jupiter being retrograde weakens the ability to use this tattva. Vishuddhi chakra will become blocked and this make us feel unprotected and make some wrong choices. Vishuddhi also purifies the poisons, here the poisons of the mind do not always get the right filter. So we do not know how to stop them from polluting our life.
