Today's astrology tutorial post starts a look at the specifics of our summer retrogrades: Jupiter in Capricorn, Uranus in Pisces, Neptune in Aquarius and Pluto in Sagittarius. Today the focus in Jupiter.
Jupiter's midway through Capricorn, at 14 degrees. He started moving retrograde on May 9 at 22+ degrees of the sign and will continue "backing up" until he turns direct at 12+ degrees Capricorn on September 8. He'll get back to 22.22 degrees, where the retrograde started, on the second of December. That's a six-month time of introspection focused on expansion; hope deflated and hope reconfigured; and/or inflation. Will what we experience collectively by December pertain to an easing (Jupiter) in the realm of apparently limited world resources, particularly pertroleum, coal and other heating products, or not? Will it refer to an expansion of compassionate understanding (Jupiter) and solid plans of action (Capricorn) on the part of those in leadership positions (Capricorn as well)?
Or will we need a time of cold -- physically, and perhaps on other levels of experience (Capricorn) -- to bring us to a willingness to embrace self-discipline (Capricorn again) for the benefit of all concerned (Jupiter)?
Let's each take a look at the drive behind our personal ambition. Is it fear of lack, and the narrow visual field that perceives others as pawns in a game we're meant to "win", just other rungs on a ladder we're meant to "climb? That's all a twist on Capricorn moticated by greed. What if we were to seek the deeper truth of Capricorn which Jupiter illuminates. Let's set to the plain old hard work of living together, trusting that what we need is at hand (Jupiter), and that we have both the core strength and flexibility to do what needs to be done to benefit us all (Jupiter and Capricorn together).
My next post? Look for that on Monday August 4. I'll focus on Uranus in Pisces, followed by a look at Neptune and Pluto the next two posts after that.
