It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar
and seemingly secure ~ to embrace the new.
But there is no REAL security in what is no longer meaningful.
There is more security in the adventurous and exciting,
for in movement there is life,
and in change there is power.

• It is time to return to your Source remember why you're here, your truth and purpose

  

• Take as much time in quiet solitude as possible

• Get re-connected within, strengthen and fortify that connection and come back out (after the retrograde) with a renewed spirit and sense of purpose

  

• If you feel the need for a supportive community, create one!

  

• Give some time and energy to your most personal dreams and visions

Jupiter Retrogrades on May 9, 2008
and goes Direct on September 8, 2008

• When Jupiter goes Retrograde you don't actually feel the effects right away. Basically what happens is you're going along happy and enthusiastic and all of a sudden the wind is knocked out of your sails.

• Everything we attract is an outer reflection of our inner Selves.

  

• Jupiter's biggest purpose during its Retrograde period is to inspire us to connect to a deeper and more personal sense of justice; that which serves YOUR personal Highest good.

Jupiter Retrograde

[cont'd]

• This is the classic tug of war between ego and Spirit.

• One of the blessings of this energy is that we stop reaching outside our Selves for guidance and turn to our own inner guidance to direct us now.

  

• Work smarter, not harder. Make the necessary adjustments being demanded of you at this time. It will ultimately empower you.

  

• If you disregard the current energy, and impose YOUR will, rather than accept this direction, you will expend a LOT of energy, with very little compensation or reward.  All this time requires is a little flexibility and patience.

  

• You might want to reflect on repression in your own life - is it for the good of all or is it based in fear of confrontation (with Self or others)? Retrogrades demand that we contemplate the (true) source or hidden cause of our motives. There may be an imbalance.

  

• What you've been subconsciously thinking about or even acting out in some way, will come to the forefront and demand attention.

  

• Closer to Jupiter going Direct things may begin to take shape in unexpected and wonderful ways that even you couldn't dream up so I hope you planted those seeds BEFORE Jupiter Retrograded! (If not, get serious NOW!! This energy was meant to be worked WITH!!

• Pluto is the planet of death, rebirth and transformation. So when it Retrogrades be prepared to allow some part of you or your life to "die" ... and be transformed anew.

  

• Ready or not, it is time for you to move on to the next level. The more you resist it, the harder it will be.

Pluto Retrograde

[cont'd]

• It may even seem sudden, but really whatever leaves your life at this time has been on it's way out for the last couple of years whether you were consciously aware of that or not.

• You must recognize your reflection in others. During this time, you may even be very aware of your behavior but still unable to control your Self.

• This is a test of what you TRULY desire and value.

• Any attempt to hold on to an old habit, person, place or circumstance that is clearly "dead", "completed" or "over" will result in more havoc (which you've outgrown) and you create a harder struggle to get past it (and grow) to the good stuff that awaits you.

• Now being TOTALLY dedicated to fulfilling this deep knowing what you want is not as much of a stretch as it used to be. If you can be aware enough to know it's just time for the definition of your Truth and purpose to emerge, then you will finally have access to that military discipline required to truly focus and make it happen!

• Pluto tends to strip us of all that we think we need to exist and insists that we realize that it is solely your responsibility for CREATING (Pluto rules Scorpio, the energy of creation) YOUR AUTHENTIC LIFE!
