“Do you believe in this new path? Do you believe in this hope? Do you believe in this opportunity?” ~ Christopher Renstrom on Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini
Hi there…
We're in for a celestial shift that has us deeply evaluating what opportunity (or luck) means to us, what our core beliefs are, and what message we are presenting to the world…
And this is because Jupiter prepares to station retrograde in Gemini on October 9th (until February 4th of next year). 🌌✨
Astrology Hub's Christopher Renstrom has, as usual, a very fascinating take on this upcoming transit — including a horoscope for each of the twelve signs! (I HIGHLY recommend checking it out! 👀)
Christopher says, “Jupiter is the planet of good fortune and higher purpose,” a benefic planet that infuses luck, fortune, and success in your chart.
But, according to Christopher, “Sometimes fortune might show up as a cautionary tale, having protected us from a bad decision.”
This is something to keep in mind during this upcoming Jupiter Retrograde — for example, have you ever received something you thought was “bad luck” only to realize later it was exactly what you needed?
Retrogrades often slow things down…
…which gives us a GREAT opportunity to reflect on how setbacks might be fortunes in disguise!
Think back to May 25th, when Jupiter first entered Gemini. What opportunities opened up for you? 🌟
What “lucky breaks” did you experience? Or…did you have any perceived setbacks?
I did a reel on Instagram at that time, summarizing the Jupiter in Gemini potential opportunities and challenges (may be interesting to revisit now that we're 5 months into this transit so you can reflect on what's been happening for you!)
What if…there was a way to look at these moments with fresh eyes…
…Gemini's eyes of curiosity! 👀✨
Did a job opportunity fall through? Maybe a relationship didn't work out the way you expected it to?
These aren't always failures.
Perhaps…they are cosmic redirections toward something MORE ALIGNED with your true path.
When we are moving so fast towards our dreams, sometimes we need a retrograde like this — let's call it a SACRED PAUSE ✋ — to align ourselves to what kind of success we REALLY want in our lives.
Maybe you'd like to do something different with your life. An unconventional career path, an unpopular hobby, or an alternative relationship.
This might be the time to throw up your hands in that very Gemini way and say, “Let's see what happens!”
This is the opportunity to exclaim out loud — I BELIEVE IN MYSELF!
No matter what anyone else thinks. 💕
As Christopher says in the podcast episode, beliefs can be “solitary affairs.” Not everyone will understand your choices during this time, and that's okay. It's your belief in yourself that matters most.
Christopher invites you to write down your reflections to get a deeper level of understanding…
Reflect On Your Recent Opportunities: Review your life since May 25th, especially moments that may have stalled or become complicated. Did you abandon them because they slowed down? Maybe it's time to resurrect those old ideas!
Examine Your True Beliefs: “Jupiter is the planet of what we believe… it might be belief in terms of an alternative belief… Maybe it's a belief that people are good. Maybe it's a belief in ethics. Maybe it's a moral belief,” says Christopher. Use this retrograde to consider how these beliefs influence the direction in which you go.
Consider Taking a Leap of Faith: “This is the leap of faith where you leap into the dark,” says Christopher. “You leap into the void. You have no idea whether this is going to work out or not. You want it to. You hope it will. But there's no guarantee.” It might be worth taking a leap of faith – even without guarantees of success! 🌟
Reevaluate “Good Fortune”: Listen to the podcast episode and use Christopher's horoscopes for your sign as a guide to look at recent events from different angles – what seemed like bad luck might actually be protecting you, and what looked like good fortune might need deeper reflection…especially if it doesn't align with your core desires or beliefs!
Because it's Jupiter, remember…this retrograde isn't about losing momentum…
…it's about genuinely BELIEVING that you're moving in the right direction, guided by your highest purpose and power. ✨
Your journey ahead is full of beautiful opportunities,
💖Amanda
