General Daily Insight for September 04, 2023
Lady Luck is changing tactics today. Mercury in Virgo boosts the mood as it begins things with a trine to expansive Jupiter, while the Moon in Taurus will square off against Venus in expressive Leo. Jupiter turns retrograde in Taurus at 10:10 am EDT, beginning a four-month phase when we will find more satisfaction with what has already arrived in our lives rather than seeking out new vistas. When the Moon makes a final trine to Mercury, we can find easy understandings and harmonious resolutions.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
It’s a good day to count your chickens, but only once they’ve hatched. You’ve been accumulating new resources since Jupiter arrived in your 2nd House of Material Wealth, but the biggest planet in our solar system is turning retrograde today, and the way you deal with your resources is changing. Now’s the time to focus on what you already have as opposed to acquiring more — you’ll see there’s plenty to work with. Consider exploring new investment opportunities and putting your assets to good use.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
It’s time to see how far you’ve come. Expansive Jupiter is turning retrograde in your sign today and will stay that way until the end of the year, giving you a moment to take stock of all the major changes that have occurred in your life ever since this lucky planet arrived back in May. Perhaps certain events happened so quickly you barely got to enjoy or process them, but now you can see the bigger picture. Let yourself be pleased with the results.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Letting go isn’t always easy, but every so often, it is. Your 12th House of Endings is taking center stage as Jupiter turns retrograde in this sector until the end of December. During this phase, old issues or toxic behaviors may knock at your door, but instead of being worried about them, you can realize that they’re appearing once more so you can understand they no longer have power over you. It’s time to wave goodbye to these fears once and for all.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
It’s wonderful to be so popular, but if you’re constantly acquiring new acquaintances, it’s easy to forget about the ones you already have. Expansive Jupiter is turning retrograde in your social 11th house until the end of 2023, but you can make good use of this energy by shoring up your current connections and letting people know how much they mean to you. A certain person or group could be very helpful, especially if you haven’t touched base in a while. Reach out.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Moving mountains is great, but today you can step back from such impressive feats and catch your breath. Jupiter is beginning a four-month retrograde phase in your 10th House of Career, giving you time to assimilate all the changes that have occurred on the professional front ever since the biggest planet in our solar system arrived in Taurus earlier this year. It’s time to see how far you’ve come and plan your next steps, but hold off on embarking just yet. Patience is key.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
It’s a good day to hold your horses, Virgo. You’ve been flying at top speed ever since Jupiter arrived in your adventurous 9th house, but that planet is turning retrograde until the end of the year, helping you acclimate to the new vistas you’ve explored recently. If your life has broadened exponentially, the point of this cycle is to get comfortable with all that new space. Stretch your mind and body, literally and metaphorically, and bask in the possibilities available to you.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
True growth is rarely a quick process. Your 8th House of Transformation is currently hosting Jupiter, and today that planet is turning retrograde until the end of 2023, signaling a time when you must make peace with old parts of you that no longer reflect the person you are now. It won’t occur overnight, but it’s time for you to clear out the detritus of your old self, making room for the person Jupiter is helping you become. Get ready — a new you awaits.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Relationships go through many different stages throughout their existence. Your own dynamic duos are up for inspection today as Jupiter turns retrograde in your 7th House of Partnerships, helping you come to better terms with them. If you’ve recently become closer with a particular person, this phase will help the two of you get clearer on your goals, both together and apart. Whatever the nature of your relationship, you’re ready to face this threshold together. Welcome it as a grand opportunity.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Getting your life in order sometimes requires a bit of effort … and sometimes requires a bit of luck. Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, has just turned retrograde in your 6th House of Wellness for the rest of 2023, meaning it’s time to stop pushing so hard and instead allow yourself to coast along to a place of better health and happiness. Instead of embarking on new exercise routines or diet plans with gusto, take a measured approach for optimal results.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
The way you express your creativity is going through a bit of a shift. Jupiter is turning retrograde in your 5th House of Passion, adjusting the ways in which you chase after the things that make you happy. If you’ve been off on a pleasure cruise, it may be time to change gears for something less adventurous. Focus on more immediate joys — just because Jupiter is hitting the snooze button doesn’t mean you’re going to miss out on all the fun.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
It’s a good day to feather your nest. Your 4th House of Home is the setting for today’s Jupiter Retrograde, a phase that’s all about acclimating to any recent additions you may have made under your own roof. Whether you’re in the process of simply redecorating your place or adding an entirely new family member to your tree, this change will allow you to feel more at peace with any new changes that Jupiter has brought over the last few months. Take it easy today.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Your community has gone through lots of changes lately, but now it’s time to get a better sense of where you’ve landed as a group. Jupiter is turning retrograde in your 3rd House of Communications, meaning it’s time to get better acquainted with all the fresh arrivals in your life. Chances are you’re surrounded by a few new faces and maybe even in a new place altogether, so start asking yourself: “Who am I in this new era?” People want to know.
