Jupiter is the planet of wisdom, expansion, faith, and wealth. When it moves backward, it causes us to revisit, re-evaluate, and refine these areas rather than chase new growth. Jupiter retrograde is never a punishment; it’s a cosmic syllabus review. By revisiting where you thought you had expansion, you ensure that when Jupiter moves direct in March 2026, your next expansion is wiser, stronger, and built on solid ground.
Aries: Re-connect with family and home
This period calls for a deep review of your emotional foundation. You might rethink where you live, the stability of your home environment, or spend significant time reassessing your relationship with your mother or primary caregiver figure. Financial dealings related to property or vehicles should be postponed. Focus on emotional healing and ensuring your home truly feels like a sanctuary.
Taurus: Re-budget and re-train
Expansion in communication meets a pause. You may feel the need to re-edit your message or reconsider a commitment made to a sibling or close neighbour. If you were planning to start a new course or frequently travel locally, expect delays or a need to go over the material again. Refine your writing, speaking, and local networking.
Gemini: Re-define self-worth
Jupiter’s retrograde here requires a serious financial audit. How you earn money and what you value about yourself will be heavily scrutinized. Avoid major speculative investments. Instead, review your savings goals, look for hidden expenses, and focus on increasing your internal sense of self-worth rather than external accumulation.
Cancer: Re-charge and re-treat
This is a profound internal review, as Jupiter is in its own territory (in Cancer). You will re-evaluate your entire identity and life path. Questions like, ‘Am I living according to my true values?’ will surface. Use this time for health check-ups, deep introspection, and shifting your personal philosophy. Do not chase outward recognition; focus on inner realignment.
Leo: Re-evaluate network and goals
This retrograde pulls you toward seclusion and spirituality. Hidden matters come to light, which might involve realizing subconscious patterns or dealing with unseen obstacles. Withdraw for periods of rest. Review any large, long-term expenses or debts. This is a time for quiet healing, not public visibility.
Virgo: Re-structure career path
Your focus shifts to your network and future income streams. Are your current friends supportive of your highest growth? Review long-term financial goals and how your social circle contributes to them. You might need to step back from a large group activity to focus on smaller, more impactful connections.
Libra: Re-align philosophy and research
Your professional ladder gets a pause button. You must reassess your career direction and your relationship with bosses or authority figures. Are you climbing the right mountain? Reviewing past career moves will give you clarity for the next phase. Avoid starting brand-new, high-profile ventures during this window.
Scorpio: Re-audit joint finances
This is a period of philosophical review. You may question established beliefs or feel a pull to re-study an old subject. If you planned overseas travel or major academic pursuits, expect delays that push you to deepen your understanding before moving forward. Re-read the textbooks you already own.
Sagittarius: Re-commit to partnerships
This is intense for you! You will scrutinize all shared resources—loans, taxes, joint accounts, and deep emotional intimacy. Jupiter demands you face any financial obligations you’ve avoided. Use this time to clean up shared budgets and build deeper, more honest connections.
Capricorn: Re-fine daily habits and service
Your most important one-on-one relationships (business partners and spouse) take centre stage. You will re-evaluate the promises and ideals you set in these partnerships. It’s a time to negotiate from a place of deeper understanding rather than mere optimism. Be prepared to confront issues you previously avoided with a significant other.
Aquarius: Re-visit creative projects
This pause centres on your well-being and work habits. Are you serving others effectively? Re-evaluate your diet, fitness routine, and the way you manage daily tasks. Any plans to hire new staff or launch a major self-care initiative should be tested and refined now.
Pisces: Re-trench for emotional security
Your natural creativity and joy get an internal check. You may feel less inclined toward romance or hobbies, instead feeling a pull toward deeper creative refinement. Revisit old creative projects or evaluate your spending habits on speculative ventures (like stocks). Focus on the quality of your fun, not the quantity.
