When Jupiter is Retrograde, progress can become impeded and things that seemed to have a certain outcome can come to a halt. When external energy dries up, it is time to find our inner wisdom and expand our internal knowledge. This is the time to look objectively at the energy and effort put into one's projects, to focus on one's own code of ethics and integrity, and to avoid criticizing others. With Jupiter retrograde the good things of life seem to be moving away and real struggle of life is more clearly visible. In the end this is beneficial, as it focusses our attention on the real quest and journey of our life.
