All about Jupiter Retrograde
Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius, and, for many astrologers, also the ruler of Pisces. In Roman mythology Jupiter is the ruler of the gods (having overthrown Saturn) and their guardian and protector, and his symbol is the thunderbolt. In the same way, the planet Jupiter is the king of the other planets, a giant in size with spectacular, brightly coloured clouds and intense storms. Astronomers believe that it plays an important protecting role in using its massive gravity to capture or expel from the solar system many comets and asteroids that would otherwise threaten Earth and the inner planets. Jupiter takes 11.9 years to orbit the sun, spending almost an earth year (361 days) in each sign of the zodiac.
Jupiter is associated with the principles of growth, expansion, prosperity and good fortune; and a person's inner sense of justice and morality and their ideals and higher goals. Jupiter governs long distance and foreign travel, higher education, religion and the law. It is also associated with the urge for freedom and exploration, humanitarian and protecting roles, and with gambling and merrymaking or 'joviality'. It was regarded as warm and moist in nature, and therefore favourable to life.
In medicine Jupiter is associated with the liver, pituitary gland and the disposition of fats; it governed the blood / sanguine humour. In modern times Jupiter is said to be the ruler of the 9th and 12th houses, but traditionally Jupiter was assigned to the 2nd and 9th houses (the house of values and the house of beliefs, respectively) and had 'joy' in the 11th house of friends and aspirations.
Jupiter is associated with Thursday, and in Romance languages the name for Thursday often comes from Jupiter (for example, jueves in Spanish or jeudi in French). Dante Alighieri associated Jupiter with the liberal art of geometry.
In Chinese astrology, Jupiter is ruled by the element wood, which is warm, generous and co-operative. In Indian astrology, Jupiter is known as Guru or Brihaspati and is known as the 'great teacher'.

Jupiter in The Twelve Houses
If Jupiter is in the 1st house, you are considered fortunate. In your behaviour, you present yourself as idealist and confident in what you say. You tend not to listen to others, and to say whatever comes into your mind. You come over big and full of life. You may be interested in sports. You have great potential for self development, ranging far and wide in your ideas. You have a tendency to put on weight. Your abundance of confidence comes over whenever you meet people, and you tend to view others as people you can advise and help. You may have a big ego, and exaggerate things. You tend to generalise in your speech and are somewhat abstract.
For you, money may appear to grow on trees. You feel lucky and you seem to get enough money to get by, at least. You trust in your natural talents which enable you to gain wealth. People also trust you and give you opportunities to exploit your expansive ideas and inspirations. Because you are confident and lucky, money does come easily or unexpectedly. Naturally, you need to avoid being lazy and relying on your good fortune, because luck can run out and then you are worse of than those who had to work extremely hard to get any money, because they have learned how to get it through their own abilities and talents, whereas you may never have experienced hardship. You have great opportunities for increasing your wealth, but must not take this for granted.
You are a cheerful and confident communicator, speaking with optimism and in broad general terms, rather than in details. You travel around quite a lot. Your thinking is broad, tolerant and varied, as you tend to move from one idea to another. You are adaptable, but this can cause problems with your tendency to be confident and certain about things, so changes of plan can make it appear you have promised more than you can deliver. You may be involved in some way with communications, newspapers, the Internet, telephones, etc. If you are in business, you may travel farther than normal or go further than others in ensuring people are kept in good communication.
You tend to be more confident and optimistic about things you are very familiar with; things you feel at home with. You tend to be hospitable, generous and patriotic.

You are a jovial worker, and help to make your fellow workers co-operative. You are good natured at work and you are liked by the others. You tend to have problems with your tendency to be expansive and to seek the big picture and the need to attend to the fine details in any professional work. On occasions you might miss details, and on other occasions make a big deal deal out of them. You may be interested in counselling, or giving advice to the public. In terms of health, you need to keep active, move your legs, and avoid over-indulgence in food. Apart from possible problems with these, you are generally quite healthy. You are at your best when you can give some kind of service to members of the public, and this could be any work that does this, including legal work and health-work.
You may seek a marriage partner who is someone who can support your ideas, your philosophy of life and your ethical beliefs. Your partner may be a foreign person, or someone from a completely different background. You may seek a spouse who is extremely wealthy.

You are lucky when it comes to higher education, foreign travel and with philosophy. You may travel far and wide, seeking the advice of foreigners, or those with quite different backgrounds.

Traditional occupations include the church, professors, philosophers, judges and anything that is big and expansive. Long distance travel and dealing with people from abroad are also likely careers.

You are good natured, and have a sense of humour in the way you deal with others in your work. You are extremely optimistic and may be "too generous" to your employees.

Your good luck may not bring you personal benefits, but it tends to protect you from harm, even miraculously. You may tend to be involved with places of seclusion, such as prisons and hospitals where you may work for reasons of universal love and to help mankind rather than for personal benefit. You tend to hide your natural joviality and good humour. Often because it is inappropriate in these areas. Your philosophy may be one that relates to transcending normal human living and seeking dissolution in the universe, or in universal love. You seek the truth about hidden matters; that is, occult, inner wisdom and secret knowledge which may be of benefit to humanity. You seek the beauty of the transcendent and may be a little unworldly. You may hide your desire to travel, or for secret wisdom. But you might also be involved in secret journeys, or behind the scenes work in some research. This could involve work related to health and disease.
