Everything is playing out precisely in the divine timing allowing you to ask the universe for what you need.

Jupiter, the planet of abundance, begins its retrograde journey on September 4, 2023, slightly changing how you work with its manifestation energy and helping you embrace the lessons this phase offers you. Jupiter in Taurus aims to help you manifest what you most desire and create strong and stable foundations to ensure the abundance you hope to receive is one you can continue to enjoy.
While Venus was stationed directly on September 3, Jupiter now takes the place of the sixth planet or seventh celestial body, including asteroid Chiron, currently in retrograde. Things can feel confusing or muddy now, especially if you're trying to resist the lessons of this time or the internal reflection period this represents. Instead of trying to manifest something new in your life now, focus on generating greater clarity, confidence or stability in what you have already attained.
October 2023 is when the tides begin to turn, and planets start to shift once again directly, so this is the moment to prepare by going within, to dedicate yourself to your future goals still, but also appreciate this divine sign to ensure you are doing so in the best way possible. When Jupiter is retrograde, your manifestations shift from just outward expansion to focusing on how you strengthen what you've already created. It's a chance to check in with yourself to see if anything needs to be released or adjusted so that as you progress through this astrological season, you are truly learning the important lessons of the universe and your past experiences.
Working with Jupiter retrograde in your rituals can be done at any time of the day. To embody this energy more deeply, herbal additions such as rosemary, fennel, ginger or parsley can be used. Think of donning jewelry made from tiger's eye, rose quartz or sodalite and the essential oils of eucalyptus, lemon or rose to honor the Taurus energy of Jupiter and help you embrace this powerful time in your life so you can truly feel confident that every step you take is one divinely guided by the universe.
