In the middle of November, Jupiter turns retrograde for the next four months. Let’s have a look at what it means and how to survive that period.

Jupiter turns retrograde
He is going to retrograde until 13 March 2026 when he reaches the 15th degree of Cancer. Therefore, it will not be the most favourable time for rituals related to Jupiter, Sagittarius, and Pisces principles. Thus, one will have to put more effort into finding optimum elections.
Jupiter is a planet of speed, expansion, faith, religion, adventure, and so on. However, in retrograde motion, he states that it is time to slow down. It is not a time for spontaneous trips but rather for staying at home and spending time with loved ones. This retrograde coincides with Saturn’s retrograde at the 25th degree of Pisces, in the exact trine to Jupiter. Saturn is peregrine and under Jupiter’s control; hence, he is not very supportive but provides a dose of stability. Therefore, the upcoming months will definitely be better for enjoying pumpkin spice latte and carving pumpkins than for travelling to exotic destinations. This is a perfect time for the evaluation of one’s plans, goals, and expectations as well as what has already been achieved in the past or unrealised dreams.
When it comes to the influence on particular zodiac signs, Capricorn, Libra, and Aries, as well as Cancer, will find this retrograde the most challenging. Aries will be overwhelmed by stagnation experienced in the comfort of their homes. Libra, in contrast, will start feeling uncomfortable in the workplace. She will have the time to consider whether it is not worth looking around for new opportunities or starting new initiatives that will bring changes in career in the future. For Capricorns, Jupiter’s retrograde motion will provoke questions about the current relationship or its lack. For those with partners, it may be an opportunity to improve their relationship, but for some to end to make space for further prospective bonds. Finally, Cancers will have an emotional and mental rollercoaster, time full of concerns, tensions between following desires and dreams, and comfort and feeling secure in their current lives.
Virgos will experience old good friends returning to their lives, but will also verify what kind of relationships they need. Taurus will get fed up with all the gossip, chatters, and practice, keeping the balance between spending time on chatting and being offline. Conflicted siblings may contact to reconcile. Scorpio will explore their inner self in a deeper sense. Pisces may not have many affairs, but they may find new hobbies, discover new talent, and reevaluate relations with their children.

Mercury – Mars conjunction
On Thursday, the conjunction of the two planets takes place in Sagittarius. Mercury in fall with Mars being peregrine. This time may be full of tensions in terms of communication. Pisces, Virgo, and Gemini will be challenged the most by the conjunction, while Aquarius, Libra, Leo, and Aries will surprisingly find much courage in expressing their opinions and negotiations.
This is a brief summary of the week. I hope, dear reader, that you will not suffer from the upcoming Jupiter’s retrograde. Remember that you can always say “No, thank you” and do not worry about what is above.
And that would be it. Have a splendid week ahead.
