In astrology, Jupiter is known as the great benefic. As the ruler of protection, abundance, and luck, Jupiter is arguably one of the most sought-after planets. Having the role of cosmic expander, Jupiter magnifies everything that it touches—whether positive or negative. And understanding how Jupiter retrograde 2023 affects each zodiac sign will clarify the mark it intends to leave on your spirit. After all, Jupiter is the planet centered on having faith and believing in something larger than yourself.
Jupiter stations retrograde in Taurus on September 4 and stations direct on December 30, 2023. Named after the king of the Gods, Jupiter’s influence is, indeed, godlike. It bestows knowledge, abundance, good fortune, joy, luck, and wisdom. Jupiter imbues virtues of kindness, compassion, generosity, temperance, perspective, and objectivity. However, when Jupiter is retrograde, its expansive energy is turned inward, encouraging reflection and inner growth. It’s a beautiful time to return to our studies, our practices, and the philosophies that pull us through hard times and motivate us to embrace the future.
When Jupiter is direct in Taurus, it creates growth and abundance in the material realm, as Venus-ruled Taurus oversees money and material possessions. However, because Taurus brings the slowest energy of the entire zodiac, Jupiter’s propensity to expand turns cautious, which can be seen as a good thing. Taurus Jupiter adopts the “slow and steady wins the race” approach, making this a winning combination.
When Jupiter stations retrograde in Taurus, it helps us adopt a more practical approach toward our goals. Its fixed nature can zero in on course-correcting what seems to be wrong, making sure we attain them. This is the beautiful side of Taurus’ stubborn nature—when the bull sets its mind on attaining something, it will do anything to make it happen. Most importantly, Taurus craves stability and access to resources, making this a beautiful time to establish financial and emotional self-reliance. Let this four-month-long experience show you how to provide, protect, and take care of yourself.

Jupiter retrograde in Taurus is also an incredibly useful combination to really gauge the value of things. Unlike folks think, Taurus is not about shine, it is about building things of great value, as it relates to The Empress in the Tarot deck. If during the time Jupiter was direct in Taurus, from May 16 to September 4, you chose shine over value, be prepared for Jupiter in Taurus to take the rose-colored glasses off.

Cancer
Inspiration is key to finding your place in the world. While you may look within or in outside sources, it’s important to be content with what you have. Yes, you don’t have everything you want, but that does not mean you can’t attain it soon. You will. Trust the process and believe that things are changing in the future. The present may seem boring, but this is the calm before the change occurs. Read your full monthly horoscope here.

Leo
Don’t ignore the red flags and minor details when Jupiter is in Aries for the first part of the planetary retrograde, Leo. Financial matters are coming to a head during the second part of the retrograde, as your overspending is finally catching up with you. Curtail your frivolous habits and be cognizant of the amount of cash you are releasing from your bank account. Stop being super generous with others and yourself. Sales and budgets are your friends now. Read your full monthly horoscope here.

Virgo
Intimacy is a theme for you during Jupiter’s backwards spin. The close relationships in your life are important to you, but you’re finding that many of them aren’t worthwhile anymore. Your heart is opening to others and people are giving you extra adoration now. However, you’re learning to be more selective as to whom you invest energy and love in going forward. Relationships that are strong will thrive and survive, while those that aren’t will fall to the waste side. Read your full monthly horoscope here.

Libra
You have many standards when it comes to people that you’re in business with and in commitments with. The catch is that they may not be as honest and transparent as you would like. All the frustration will end with you opting out of some opportunities in order to maintain a moral high ground. Before making any commitments or signing documents, ask a third party for their advice on the matter. This will help to guide you along your journey and give you the opportunity to understand what’s in store. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
-
Scorpio
Romance and creativity are in the air, allowing you to seek new heights around such sentiments. The only downfall is that you may be having such a wonderful time enjoying life, that mundane activities will fall to the waste side. Try to keep yourself grounded to maintain balance in life. If you can do this, then you’ll thrive during the transit. One thing to watch out for is overindulgence. Don’t spend your time engaging in reckless activities when you could be creating and growing your life in exponential ways. If you want to take a chance and roll the dice on a bet or gamble, you could win big during this time, as long as you take calculated risks that are within your budget.

-
Sagittarius
You may be feeling stifled by your current living situation and in the mood for more space. Consider moving to a new place or location that gives you spiritual and emotional fulfillment, rather than settling based on finances and circumstances. This will be beneficial and fulfilling in the long run. This is also a very fertile time for you, which means that you can throw your dreams and artistry to create something very special. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
-
Capricorn
Making connections seems effortless at the moment, as others are being drawn to you. The lesson is to value those who you are meeting and to not seek them for cache or status. Learning to appreciate others is a mindset that you’ll be forced to understand during this cosmic transit. You may even find that it’s time for you to move into a bigger home, or away from the city into a place where you have more space. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
-
Aquarius
You have not been focusing on money or material wealth, but your fortune is coming to you. If you appreciate the abundant gifts of the universe by practicing the law of attraction, you can attain major blessings and gifts from the material realm over the next several months. Don’t stress your financial situation. Abundance and prosperity come to those who wait—you’re no different. Have patience and trust the process. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
-
