I've was always outgoing and enjoyed being in crowds with lots of people (the more the better), football matches, festivals, clubs, Etc.

After my Jupiter progressed into Cancer August 2001 my personality changed dramatically. I went from being a leader that people had respect for and listened to, to someone who wanted to get away from everyone and crawl into my shell = because of this and my drop in confidence, people seemed to lose respect for me and what I had to say.

I had a job where I was in charge of other workers and eventually 5th Nov 2011 I had a breakdown and had to quit due to the stress of working with others and telling them what to do, this just got to me and dragged me down.

I've changed from being light hearted, fun and jovial, to becoming inward, self analizing and anxious.

I've become interested in lots of complex things like the solar system and the deeper the puzzle the more interesting to me. Thinking really deeply about life and the universe has become fun to me where previously I had no real interest in that (apart from astrology). My mind has really changed, I can now spend hours and hours working things out and just wanting to get to the bottom of everything, trying to figure it all out.

I can happily stay on my own and don't need other people any more. When it happened to me I couldn't understand what was going on and was in a bad state of confusion, only now I think I understand what has happened.

My Jupiter at the moment is at 0°56'23" Cancer = near the end of the 0 degree critical phase. It moved into my 11th house (29°7' Gemini) in November 1992, so has been at critical degree for many years.

From Nov 1992 when my Jupiter hit 29° (my 11th) I developed much more confidence and leadership. Jupiter was still in Gemini, they say that 29 degrees is a critical degree but I felt very good.

Only when my Jupiter changed sign to Cancer the massive confusion and extreme change happened. Strangely only nearing the end of the critical 0 degree am I starting to understand what happened.

What I'm interested in is that in 16 years time my Jupiter will turn retrograde at 1°19', it will be at 1°19' for 4 years.

I believe that my progressed Jupiter turning retrograde is a big reason I've become so inward and where previously I had a strong interest in possesions/making lots of money, now I'm not interested in that at all. I'm more wanting to know and analize myself, the world and everything. Also I want a tranquil life calm and relaxed. Aggressive, bossy and pushy people make me feel very ill.

What will happen when my Jupiter gets to stationary and then retrograde? Will I figure more things out and be able to write about what I learn? Will the change to inward thinking get more intense?

Who knows, who can say?

I think this could be a rare and I hope interesting scenario, does anyone have any experience or advice about this?

Thanks,

Thanks lalalind..

Here are some images of my Progressed Jupiter today and going to 1 degree cancer and in the year 2030 when it turns retrograde.

Does anyone have any thought or information about this at all?

Also my progressed Mars and Venus go conjunct near the time of the Retrograde Jupiter and they both square my progressed Saturn.

We have all had natal planets changing signs in our progressed charts throughout our lives and we have all experienced the transformation that happens with this. But for me, with such a slow change over with my Jupiter, this is what I now think:

During the last degree of a sign, the changing planet goes through a kind of death and rebirth. It's definitely not one day you are one and then you are another, it's a gradual change and with the outer planets it's even more gradual and pronounced.

I would say that the 29th degree end of a sign felt very powerful for me. My Gemini Jupiter was at full strength and if you compare the 29 degree to age, this is old age and wisdom, but it's also the death so the very last end of my Gemini Jup I felt very sad. I felt like a huge loss and once my Jupiter went into Cancer I really did feel like I had lost a big part of me.

I didn't realise at the time what had happened and the confusion I went through was a bad experience.

I would say that the start of a new sign at 0 degrees is similar to a baby being born. There is helplessness and people can easily take advantage of you as you haven't learned any skills of how to use your new self yet. I think that going through from 0 degrees up to 1 degree is like a baby being born phase where you are going through a transformation and becoming a different person.

My viewpoints on the world and how best to live have been changing dramatically the last 13.5 years. Only now as I am approaching 1 degree am I starting to become accepting of this new energy and being able to work out what I am gaining, this is different from only dwelling on what I've lost.

Imagine when you have a progressed planet change sign that it then would stay at the critical 0 degree for almost 15 years. This is what I've gone through because my Jupiter is turning retrograde at 1° Can 19.

I've read a lot about progressed planets changing signs and discussions on astrology forums, but my Jupiter change has been so slow and gradual, I've felt like I could not see the woods from the trees. When I was deep in the middle I felt so lost, so confused and it was as if I was stuck in a crazy place where my brain seemed almost as if it had been damaged somehow.

Only now I feel like my brain is finally repairing itself and that I may have changed and become different in a good way. As the new energy grows I hope I can come out of my shell and learn to explain more to others.

I do feel a very strong urge to help other people somehow and in some way that I never had before. This is probably because my Progressed Jupiter has moved into my natal 11th house.

I'm hoping that when my Jupiter reaches the 1 degree of Cancer that I can develop a lot more clarity and gain energy so I can move completely out of the confusion.

One of the things that is becoming more and more clear to me is that possessions and material wealth is not that important. I have become very interested in minimalism and (maybe because I have my mars progressed into Sagittarius) that I would like to get rid of most of my things and to go travelling and visiting new places. To me this would be the ultimate in freedom and worth far more than any amount of money.
