When Your Chart Ruler Goes Retrograde

I'm a Saggitarius rising, so that means my chart ruler is Jupiter. My Jupiter is in Scorpio, in the 11th house, and it just went retrograde last night. This is a pretty big event for me.

Jupiter has just turned retrograde at 23 degrees of Scorpio, near my Neptune in Scorpio (12th house) and opposite my 5th house Saturn. It will turn direct at 13 degrees Scorpio, conjunct my 11th house Venus at 14 Scorpio, near my natal Jupiter at 6 Scorpio, and still opposite my Saturn. So... the old Neptune/Venus issues are coming up, and it's also triggering the path Saturn took a few years ago when it raked its nails through Scorpio (2012-2015, boy do I remember that time) during my Saturn Opposition.

Here are the themes and issues being triggered for me now, albeit in a much more peaceful way than when Saturn blew through:
  • The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
  • Undo the damage, break the spell that was cast
  • Re-cast a better spell; redesign a better life; hone your intentions like a blade on the sharpening stone
  • Wake the Fuck UP - don't allow yourself to drift into complacency, there's no time (Saturn) for that, I don't care how lucky you think you are
  • Focus on creating healthy relationships
  • Stand up for yourself and your needs - ask for what You want
  • Self Love
  • Open heart so you can receive
  • Pay Your Debts
  • Healthy boundaries (in love and in money) - this means not too foolish, and not too guarded, either
  • Use your precious energy wisely; Use this TIME (Saturn) wisely
  • Don't invest in unwise situations that have no longevity
  • Beware energy vampires
  • Beware opportunistic predators
  • Radical Self Care
  • Create what you want and need in your life
  • Star Tarot - I can create anything I need
  • Listen for guidance and trust that everything will arrive to you as you need it
  • Relax, rest, tend your garden
  • Cultivate the ability to Conjure Joy, under any circumstance - Make this your superpower - death-defying freedom and joy (god if this isn’t the ultimate Jupiter in Scorpio in the 11th house theme, I don’t know what is lol) 
  • Galadriel, a light when all others go out
  • The Audacity of Hope
  • Be Lucky
  • Wish, Dream big
So, in a way, this is a pause to see what I've done so far in my year of Jupiter Return. And WOW, honestly, it's been amazing. I got a promotion/raise, moved to a better house, have paid off some debts, scored what I needed and then some. I think if anything, I haven't aimed high enough. Now is the time to sift through it all and determine where to hitch my lucky star for the next, and final, pass-through. I have to pay attention. Can't fail this lesson. It's a second chance.

I have to make it good. No, I have to make it AMAZING.
