Jupiter Retrograde: 09.10.2024

Jupiter retrograde offers us the perfect opportunity to unwire from external expectations and reconnect with our deeper truths, especially when it comes to how we navigate life, beliefs, and authenticity.

In the context of Unwire Collective (my dream collective hopefully seing the world soon), this celestial shift invites us to pause, reflect, and realign ourselves with our inner compass - the one that leads us toward a more nourishing, authentic life.

Reflection on the Process of Unwiring

"Unwiring" means shedding the layers of conditioning, expectations, and false narratives we've absorbed over time. It’s about stepping into a state of being that feels natural and true, where we show up for ourselves every day with curiosity and self-compassion.

When I reflect on my personal journey, I realize that I used to listen to my friends' dreams and goals with full confidence that they could achieve them (and I f*cking cheer for them every day - blessed with those ones). But when it came to my own aspirations, that belief wasn’t always there. I didn’t fully trust what I was saying or claiming for myself. It felt like I was speaking someone else's truth, disconnected from the authenticity I so craved. 

Jupiter retrograde asks us to unwire from these self-limiting beliefs, to turn inward, and to recalibrate. I now understand that the journey to authenticity isn't about projecting an image or meeting an expectation - it’s about listening to that quiet inner voice that knows exactly who we are and what we need.

Unwiring the Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual

In the process of finding freedom and authenticity, we must unwire not just mentally, but on all levels: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 

Jupiter retrograde pushes us to explore these realms, giving us the time and space to ask:

What do I truly need to feel nourished in each of these areas?

- For example, in the physical realm, am I taking care of my body in ways that support my long-term wellbeing?

- Mentally, am I allowing myself the freedom to explore new ideas, or am I clinging to outdated beliefs?

- Emotionally, am I processing feelings in a healthy way, or suppressing them for fear of vulnerability?

- And spiritually, am I aligned with a purpose or path that resonates with my core essence?

Setting a Course for Freedom and Authenticity

The ultimate goal is to live a life of freedom and authenticity, and Jupiter’s retrograde in Gemini is a cosmic reminder that we can always redirect our course. To do this, we need to listen deeply to our inner guide, that unwired voice that knows what we need, where to go, and how to get there.

This retrograde gives us permission to step back from the external world and redefine our relationship with ourselves. It allows us to ask the tough questions: What does authenticity mean to me? What does my truth look like? How can I live more consistently with my inner values?

Thoughts: By consistently showing up for ourselves - by unwiring from old patterns - we create the space to live with intention, clarity, and freedom. The more we do this, the more natural it becomes to trust our inner voice, the one that has always known the way. (trust the gut, trust what your body is telling you - body, gut, inner voice: is a big damn collab telling you your truth).

A Personal Mantra for this Time:

Unwire yourself every day by showing up for yourself. Be curious, be consistent, and listen to your inner voice. You’re already enough - now it’s time to believe it (rock on!!!)
