There’s abundance in slowing down. Jupiter begins a four-months retrograde in Taurus this morning, inviting us to reflect on all the abundance we’ve already cultivated in life. With so many planets retrograde, the energy might feel uncomfortably stagnant. But there’s magic to be found in stillness. Mercury Retrograde harmonizes with Jupiter just hours before it switches directions, bringing though insights. It’s easy for our mind to be pulled into the past now- come back to the present through gratitude. This is a season to appreciate the fruits of what we’ve already manifested.

The New Moon in Leo asks us to tap into the love in our heart and set intentions that will bring more joy and passion into our lives. This new moon is supercharged by a trine to Jupiter, amplifying the energy and giving us the confidence to boldly declare our desires. But Jupiter also stations retrograde this afternoon. While the planet of abundance is switching directions, it appears still in our sky today, giving us an auspicious moment to slow down and appreciate how much we’ve grown this year.
