When Jupiter turns retrograde, its expansive energy becomes inward focused. Jupiter slows down gradually and pauses at a stationary point before beginning its backward movement. This phase encourages self reflection rather than outward growth. Jupiter’s retrograde motion does not reduce luck but shifts attention toward inner wisdom, belief systems, and long term life goals. After Jupiter turns direct, it continues moving slowly for a while, allowing lessons learned during the retrograde phase to settle properly. The station point of Jupiter retrograde is carefully observed in astrology as it reveals areas of internal growth and spiritual development.
