Jupiter's Retrograde Through the Virgo Zodiac
Overview
Jupiter governs growth, wisdom, expansion, and opportunities, while Virgo is the sign of practicality, refinement, and service. When Jupiter goes retrograde in Virgo, the focus turns inward — expanding not through big leaps, but through detail work, self-improvement, and refining what you’ve already built. Instead of chasing new opportunities, you’re called to revisit your systems, beliefs, and daily habits to see where small adjustments can create long-term growth.
