After being in Gemini for quite some time, the planet of expanse, the big brother of all planets, Jupiter has decided to travel backwards. It will be the reverse mode till February 25 and force us to delve deep inside ourselves to figure out where we are headed. It will also motivate us to tap our spiritual side and take up stuff like meditation, spiritual tourism, spiritual workshops.
Planet of luck when retrograde may force us to be a little more proactive than depending on sheer luck. It may also make us little extra cautious about some situations. Normally it encourages to follow the gut feeling but when in this mode, it will make you question your gut feeling. This clearly not a time to follow your instincts.
The society at large will be impacted too. Some countries will see radical changes. Probably mini riots, stampedes. Governments and politicians may end up feeling insecure which might result in their taking wrong decisions. However, whatever happens on that level will prove to be beneficial in the future and restore growth and order. Officials will be forced to take some major policy decisions.
The real pain in the wrong place will be Mercury that also goes on its last retrograde cycle this year from November 25 to December 15. God bless the world and its travellers. Jupiter is known to recheck all news that Mercury brings. With both retrograde, there will be times when the world turns topsy-turvy. Better double-check all travel plans. However, together both of them will also help us to trust ourselves that time.
Communication professionals might feel the impact a wee more. Big brother will push you out of your comfort zone and your creativity will be challenged.
Overall this is a time to retrospect, motivate yourself and be spiritually active. The impact of the retrograde is more on your inner self than outside. Your instincts might be stronger. But be careful.
