Generally most of the people born with one or more than one retrograde planets in their birth charts. Retrograde planets act differently than direct planets. Retrograde planets need
extra understanding because retrograde planets do not give benefits as do direct planets. Retrograde planets show specific areas within consciousness indicated by the sign and house they occupy and along with the house they rule. These all are the issues repeated in order to be fully resolved. When the issues are resolved then the person can move further.
What is a retrograde planet ?
When a planet is retrograde it appears to be moving backward in the sky. A retrograde planet looks like it's going backwards in the sky but it is not. It is stationary in the sky and looks like it is moving back relative to the earth movement. Retrogression means reflection of things related to the planets. The Sun and Moon are never retrograde.
Generally retrograde planets are delayed things and do not give things easily. Depending on house placement and house rulership they delayed the things. You can understand this concept by thinking that they are not walking with you. They are just behind the pace of time and you need to wait for them to know what the planets signify and rules in your chart. In the birth chart each planet rules two houses for each ascendant except Sun and Moon. So any retrograde planet not just delays the things where it is placed but at the same time it delays which house it rules in your chart, and it also delays what they signify as a karaka in our life.
So what happened when Jupiter retrograde as a karaka, house placement and house rulership.
As a karaka (significator) Jupiter is the planet of hope, growth, opportunity, wisdom, belief, optimism, religion, marriage, children, higher education, and long distance travelling. All these things are automatically delayed for those people who have retrograde Jupiter. A retrograde Jupiter can cause the person to turn inward with their expression. They have different points of views of belief and religion. Therefore they may have conflict over their religion or spiritual beliefs with people around them. They have innate knowledge about the universe and they have good intuitive power. The placement of Jupiter and where it rules is the area the person is inwardly optimistic. From a health point of view Jupiter is the karaka of the liver, and retrograde Jupiter gives problems with the liver.
