#178 The Astrology Forecast for Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus

Greetings,

The themes this week are…

1. Practicality

2. Organization

3. Kindness

This week we’re highlighting five Planets: The Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto in four Signs: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo and Capricorn.

What that means is take it slow this week, because the Elemental energy of the astral forecast is mud. Use this mud to structure and shape the way you would like your life to look.

It is from this structure that you will build the foundation necessary to carry you into a 2024 that supports you in thriving, rather than simply surviving.

Be practical. Get organized. Be kind to yourself through the process, because things may not be moving as quickly as you had hoped.

If you are curious how these, or any other transits are affecting you directly, I encourage you to reach out to me for a reading. It is my purpose to help you understand who you are, so you can accept, appreciate, and love the divine, unique miracle that is you.

Mercury in Leo and Mars in Virgo

Mercury Retrograde in Virgo Trine Jupiter Retrograde in Taurus

Jupiter's retrograde transit through grounded Taurus brings an opportunity to solidify and strengthen your sense of self-worth through mindful reflection, not idealistic excess.


As abundant Jupiter moves backward in this pragmatic earth sign, you may feel urges to overextend yourself, accumulate material possessions, or overindulge in comforts. However, Taurus' steadiness helps check Jupiter's bombastic optimism. Now you build security and new horizons through incremental steps grounded in realism.


Focus on skill-building, high-quality creations, and establishing financial savings.

Avoid speculative risks or restlessness.


Let patience reveal soul-nourishing values.


Simplify and make peace with what you lack, not to punish yourself but to rediscover gratitude for what you have.


Jupiter retrograde in Taurus reminds us that less truly can be more when you align possessions and ambitions with your authentic needs. Your path ahead unfolds through appreciating today, not overreaching.

Normally quick-moving Mercury's periodic backward turn helps revisit and readjust methodical processes related to work, wellness and organization. Its trine to expansive Jupiter retrograde in careful Taurus suggests a measured yet optimistic approach yields productive growth.

There is potential to build enduring improvements through pragmatic analysis, not idealistic risk-taking. Patience, diligence and taking the long view are advised now. Focus efforts without overthinking - avoid rigid perfectionism. Allow pragmatic vision to guide step-by-step progress.

Research and gather missing information, but defer big decisions until Mercury goes direct. Tweaking and fine-tuning current projects satisfies this energy.

The path ahead reveals itself through integrating modest adjustments, not drastic change. With strategic realism, this down-to-earth transit cultivates success through small, intelligent steps.

The Moon in Cancer Sextile Uranus in Taurus

The Moon in Cancer Opposite Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn

The opposition between the sensitive Moon in Cancer and penetrating Pluto retrograde in Capricorn can bring intense emotions bubbling up from your inner depths seeking release or transformation.

However, by engaging with introspective awareness and courage, powerful opportunities for emotional renewal await you.

Look honestly within to recognize and accept, not repress, deep-seated feelings or buried traumas asking to be healed.

Channel intense energies into nurturing yourself with kindness.

Make space for grief, anger or anxiety to flow through you, then let go with forgiveness. Know that acknowledging and mindfully experiencing difficult emotions cleanses your inner being.

By engaging sincerely with your own and others' truth, you reinvent your foundations at the soul level. Your path leads to wholeness through owning your inner light and darkness with wisdom.
