Jupiter retrograde dates in 2036

Jupiter turns retrograde once in 2036 and is already retrograde on 1 January.

Jupiter turns retrograde once about every 13 months, and each retrograde lasts between 118 and 124 days, a little under four months. Its stations therefore move a month later each year, and a calendar year can have none or one of each kind.

A retrograde of Jupiter is centred on its opposition to the Sun, when the Earth overtakes it. In tradition Jupiter stands for growth, generosity and meaning, and astrologers who follow retrogrades read a Jupiter retrograde as a time to revisit those themes. That is a tradition of interpretation, not a measured effect.
