What it's about
Jupiter is taking a breather. Growth goes inside for a while.
Jupiter is the planet of growth, luck, faith and big-picture thinking. When it turns retrograde, that expansive energy stops pushing outward and starts working on the inside. It's less a season for new leaps and more a season for checking that the leaps you've already taken still feel true. Old goals come back for review, beliefs get quietly tested, and the lessons of the past year have room to settle in. Nothing is cancelled; the growth is simply happening somewhere you can't always see yet.
