Jupiter emerges from its four month retrograde on November 23d. This is exciting news because Jupiter is the planet of good fortune and higher purpose and its forward motion means that you can go back to pursuing those high hopes and impossible dreams with gusto! But not so fast. Our lives don’t improve overnight just because a planet comes out of retrograde. It takes time to adjust and to get the lay of the land. Wolves re-released into the wild don’t automatically make a beeline for the woods. They often hang out in the back of the pen for a while until they’re convinced that it’s safe to leave. If you’ve ever experienced the rug being pulled out from under you unceremoniously, then you know that it’s never a good idea to trust the first big break or golden opportunity that comes your way. It’s OK to be skeptical. You’re not going to jinx yourself by asking a few questions first. If things are meant to be then they’re meant to be and it doesn’t matter how much time you take to mull things over.
