Energy builds while Jupiter (at 22 degrees Capricorn) makes its station and turns retrograde Friday, May 9th. Jupiter rules Sagittarius, the sign of optimism, cheerfulness, the “glass is half full” attitude. Jupiter is about an inner knowing, a connection to Truth, seeing “the big picture” and having a sense of adventure as we go.
During this retrograde period, we need to turn to this inner knowing for guidance when situations or people are unclear. Instead of getting caught up with “who said what” or “who did what”, listen within. This is a good practice anyway but particularly when Jupiter is retrograde. At least once a day, spend some quiet time in reflection, prayer or meditation, just listening to Divine guidance. This all-loving support system will stimulate a knowing within that leads to success. It is not only rejuvenating but keeps us aware and present.
Living consciously takes discipline. Tuning into your higher self (not the egoic self) is what Jupiter would teach us. We need to make sure we don’t sweat the small stuff but instead stay aligned with “the bigger picture”.
