Jupiter retrograde 2022: This zodiac sign is destined for more sex

Let’s talk about sex baby…. oh and Jupiter in retrograde too of course.

Jupiter, planet of fortune, luck and popped champagne corks stations retrograde from July 28 to November 24, 2022. The onset of this retrograde coincides with a new moon in magnanimous Leo.

Retrograde is understandably a trigger word for anyone that has accidentally sexted the office Slack during Mercury retrograde or lost on love when Venus was backspinning.

But, take heed my babies, all retrogrades are meant to push us towards resolution and evolution and Jupiter does so in subtler ways that can mean more sex and personal satisfaction. Can you dig it?

What is Jupiter retrograde?

Astrologically speaking, retrogrades signal a time of introspection related to the nature of the planet that is retrograding. Associated with abundance, good fortune and the search for truth, knowledge and spiritual enlightenment, if Jupiter were a person it would be Jeff Bridges in, “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” When the planet goes into retrograde we are called to sew those seeds and direct that seeking inward as opportunities for personal growth become clear.

Jupiter is considered an outer planet so its effect on day to day life is less intensely felt than inner planets like Venus and Mercury. Jupiter’s pull is more closely related to broad life themes and assessment of how, where and why we invest our energies. Jupiter spends roughly one year in each signs and spends about four months of that cycle in retrograde

What are the effects of Jupiter retrograde 2022?

Jupiter begins its retrograde in the energetic, impatient sign of Aries and ends in empathetic, cries at sunrises sign of Pisces. Aries is the sign that jumps in and gets it done but this retrograde asks what the the ends of those efforts really entail. A retrograde wrap up in Pisces urges compassion and acceptance both of ourselves, the circumstances we have created and all we have yet to become. As with all retrogrades, the effect of this one will be felt most acutely in the beginning and end of the transit. Jupiter joins Neptune, Saturn, Chiron and Pluto, all of which are retrograde right now.

Because Jupiter is known as the “great benefic,” the celestial body that rains down blessings and boons, it’s retrograde often brings with it the possibility of making good on missed chances and the opportunity to truly assess the endeavors we are attached to. If the ROI doesn’t include cash money, delirious joy, hallowed truth, steady orgasms or personal advancement then it’s “trash, trash, trash, not for you.”
