Don’t look outward — first, know your inner world.

From the 11th, Jupiter will also turn retrograde. But unlike Mercury, Jupiter’s retrograde doesn’t usually bring confusion or trouble. Jupiter rules learning and growth, and when it moves forward, it supports outward expansion and opportunities. When it retrogrades, it turns that growth inward — a period for review, restructuring, and absorbing inner wisdom.
Since the theme this week also touches the unseen world, your dreams may carry important messages. Keeping a dream journal is highly recommended right now!

I’ve recently been enjoying asking Chappy (ChatGPT) to analyse my dreams — sometimes it offers a completely different and fascinating perspective from my own.

 

This week, several planets gather in water signs, stirring emotions that have been resting deep within. When you feel emotionally shaken, see it as a sign of transformation ahead. When emotions arise, listen closely to your inner voice:

“What truly matters to me?”
“What is the wish behind this feeling?”

If you explore these questions, you’ll find clues for your next step.

 

Later in the week, as the Moon moves from Cancer (water) to Leo (fire), it becomes easier to step forward with confidence. By then, you may begin to feel, “I’m fine just as I am.” So there’s no need to waste energy over every emotional wave that appears while the Moon is in Cancer — simply acknowledge, “Ah, this is how I feel right now,” and let that be enough.

 

This will be a week of introspection, so when it comes to your connections with others, prioritise quality over quantity. Interact only as much as necessary, and especially with family members, be mindful to avoid misunderstandings. You’ll likely be quite busy simply spending time with yourself.

 

By the way, remember the week when we talked about “having spaciousness”? That lesson is about to come alive. When you allow room to breathe — in time, heart, and mind — new things flow in naturally, and when you do level up, you’ll be able to feel your own growth.
