JUPITER, the benefic planet, is synonymous with generosity, good judgement, authority, legal matters, religion and money as well. A retrograde Jupiter will fashion itself as a self-expansion of unfulfilled achievements of the past birth; opportunity lost is being re-done in the current life. For an individual, it is to re-enact and attain self-development. Thus retrograde Jupiter in a natal chart indicates that the native lacked self-growth in the past life and he is to complete the process in the current life. An entire lifetime was wasted and now the native has to transmute the energy of retrograde Jupiter for self-development.
