Planetary movement and its effect on human life has inrigued us for ages. “The position of planets is believed to have an influence on the life of a person,” begins Lakshman Rao, a Hyderabad-based astrologer. When Jupiter started its retrograde phase on June 20, 2021, it began to have an impact on all the 12 sun signs until Sep14, 2021, adds Rao.

What is a retrograde?
Retrograde, also known as backspin, is an event where the planet undergoes an illusion of backward movement when seen from earth and in actuality, this does not occur as per physics.

Significance of retrograde
Retrograde is a time for self-introspection. “Often we act without taking any pauses or full stops in our life—mostly based on our intuition,” says Rao. Retrograde of the planets implies having moments of self-reflection, moments to analyse major decisions of the past, based on which you set a new pace for coming days. Jupiter—the planet of growth and abundance—being in retrograde means that it’s time that you look back at your plans you made to attain good wealth, health, vitality and friendships. “Think of the moment you decided to do something and weigh whether the plan is still worthy of taking it ahead or not,” adds Rao.
