Jupiter Retrograde - Take a Leap of Faith

From Oct.9th to Feb.4th, 2025, Jupiter will retrograde in Taurus. Jupiter retrograde will put more emphasis on higher learning, spiritual introspection, re-evaluation of beliefs and values, and high consciousness, all of these lead to personal growth and transformation. This period will trigger inner growth and align you with your higher goals.

Jupiter will also influence financial matters because it is in the natural 2nd house of Taurus and directly affects the natural 8th house of Scorpio. Jupiter retrograde may trigger the re-evaluation of current financial policies and place more emphasis on agriculture and the sustainability of food production. 

Retrograde Jupiter will influence the previous sign before Taurus, which is Aries, depending on where Aries is in your natal chart, it will impact that area as well. Both retrograde Jupiter and Saturn aspect Scorpio sign, we will see more transformative changes in the financial department and more deep secrets will be revealed as well. Jupiter also aspects Capricorn and Virgo, which are related to the political structure and healthcare. We may see some positive shifts in these areas too. From Oct.9th to Nov.28th. Capricorn will have positive influences from Jupiter because Jupiter is in Mrigshira Nakshatra, which is ruled by Mars, and we may see some military movements related to political matters. Depending on where Capricorn is in your chart, you may receive some positive energy from it. From Nov.28th to early Feb. Taurus will receive positive influences from Jupiter because Jupiter will be in Rohini Nakshatra, which is associated with the moon. This Nakshatra is infused with feminine and creative force. Jupiter transit to this Nakshatra flavors wealth creation.

 Retrograde Jupiter aspect retrograde Mercury may bring challenges in communication, so it is a good idea to take notes. You may also reflect on your eating habits during this retrograde. With Venus transit in Scorpio and Mars transit in Cancer, deception may occur in relationships, things may not be as presented. You may have obsessive thoughts about someone. Take it slow.

 Jupiter retrograde increases your clarity and helps you manifest your unfulfilled desires that have been pending in the past by removing obstacles and roadblocks. Jupiter retrograde indicates relationship reunion as well. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus. This retrograde period suggests you re-evaluate your love relationships and financial decisions. Through introspection, you may discover your true self-identity and who you truly are, and you may ponder whether the current relationship fulfills your heart's desires. You may reconnect your past relationships and you may reflect on your past relationship patterns and what is holding you back. Jupiter also trines the sun and mercury in Virgo during this retrograde period, great for planning, higher learning, and expansion of your positive outlook. This is a great opportunity to take a leap of faith and dive into the unknown future.

Got A Sweet Tooth? Here Is the Solution!

Lucuma is an ancient fruit that is highly valued by the Incas and other indigenous communities. It holds a significant history and culture of the Andean Civilization and was considered a symbol of fertility, longevity, and sweet nourishment. It is also called lucmo, lucumo, and lucma in different countries such as Peru, Ecuador, and Chili. Lucuma tree ranges in height between 25 to 50 ft (7-15 m) and produces big white blossoms, it bears rounded or irregular oval-shaped fruits have a thin green skin, similar to an avocado. The fruit has a diverse appearance, from green and yellow skin to bright orange flesh. Prized by ancient civilizations of Peru, lucuma is often called the "gold of the Incas." Lucuma fruits have a taste similar to a combination of maple syrup, caramel, and sweet potato, the dried form tastes like a blend of apricots and dried goji berry. It sounds yummy by the description of it.

Lucuma is a nutrient-dense fruit that offers a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals. It is an excellent source of potassium, which supports heart health and regulates blood pressure. It also contains calcium, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Lucuma is often sold as a powder made from dried and starchy yellow-orange fruit, it is known to offer a sweet taste but without a concentrated amount of sugar content, which provides a healthier choice as a whole food-based sweetener, due to its low glycemic index, it is often recommended to those with type 2 diabetes.

Lucuma is packed with antioxidants, which help protect the body against free radicals and oxidative stress. These antioxidants, such as polyphenols, beta-carotene, and vitamin C, play a significant role in reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, and preventing heart disease. It is especially rich in lutein, a carotenoid group that helps promote eye health and eyesight. Lucuma is often used in skincare products due to its rich antioxidant and mineral content that promotes healthy skin and slows aging. Regular consumption of lucuma can help reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin texture.
Lucuma is also rich in fiber, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels and increase insulin sensitivity. It inhibits the activity of enzymes such as alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) that increase post-prandial (after-meal) blood glucose levels. Lucuma improves blood sugar management and reduces high blood pressure by blocking these enzymes.

Lucuma contains Beta-sitosterol, which is an anticancer nutrient. It also contains Gallic acid, which works as an antioxidant and helps prevent cancer. Pectin and tannins are also present in lucuma fruits. Pectin has an antitumor effect and tannins can inhibit tumor cell growth and proliferation.
Amazing health benefits of Lucuma fruit include the following:

  • A healthy sweeter choice especially for diabetes due to its low Glycemic Index.
  • Rich in polyphenols, Vitamin C, and carotenoids that have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, immune-boosting effects.
  • Protects vision with rich lutein and Vitamin C content.
  • Boosts collagen production and protects the skin from UVB damage.
  • Aids digestion and prevents constipation with a high fiber content.

Lucuma is often consumed fresh when in season or as a dried fruit. The powdered form is often sold on the market. The deeper the color of the dried powder and more fragrant the aroma of the powder. You can incorporate it into various recipes, including smoothies and desserts to enjoy its amazing health benefits.

October 2nd is a solar eclipse and a new moon. This solar eclipse has a cluster of planets concentrated in the sign of Virgo including Mercury, the sun, the moon, and Ketu, they are very close to the center of Virgo. Virgo is associated with our health and the useful tools we use to deal with day-to-day life, while Pisces on the other side deals with our spiritual aspects. The key to balance is to identify and express our spiritual needs while maintaining a healthy daily routine and efficiency in our daily lives. This is a great time to initiate a new project and a new beginning. Your mind may be restless but lots of creative ideas are generated in your head. It is time to detach and start some mindful practice if you feel restless.

Both Jupiter and Mars have positive aspects on this solar eclipse. Jupiter’s 5th aspect provides knowledge and Mars’ 4th aspect provides protection. Mercury is exalted in its own sign Virgo and Ketu is also involved. This solar eclipse brings new beginnings, rejuvenation, and new career opportunities. If you want to improve your productivity and change unhealthy daily habits, this is a great time. This eclipse is in Hasta Nakshatra, Hasta is linked to hands, craftsmanship, skilfulness, and power to manifest because of its creative energy. It is associated with the moon but also called the sun's first ray, so both sun and moon energy are infused in this Nakshatra, which has lots of positive energy and manifestation power. It also indicates incomplete projects from the past that need completion. Virgo and Gemini will have the most impact from this eclipse.

 

This solar eclipse is a great time to complete those incomplete tasks in the past and engage in physical activities. With the positive influence of Jupiter and Venus, Relationships may be dramatically changed shortly after the eclipse. This is a very positive eclipse that can open a new chapter in your life.

What Can SAMe Do to Your Health?

SAMe is produced from an amino acid called methionine. S-adenosyl-L-methionine, commonly known as SAMe, is a dietary supplement that has become popular. SAMe plays an integral role in creating different hormones, neurotransmitters, synthesis of proteins, fatty acids, and other critical molecules in the body. Your body naturally produces SAMe and uses it to regulate cell function. There seems to be a relationship between vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiencies and deficiencies in SAMe.  About 30% of the total SAMe in the body is found within mitochondria, which is the energy-producing engine of cells. SAMe is critical in charging mitochondrial function. SAMe is also required to manufacture all sulfur-containing compounds in the body including glutathione, a master antioxidant, and other sulfur-containing cartilage components such as chondroitin sulfate. SAMe supports mitochondria, the methylation process in the liver detoxification pathways, autophagy, and overall health.

The most well-known function of SAMe is its important role in the methylation process along with folate and B12. Methylation is adding a methyl group to another molecule. SAMe is more effective in transferring methyl groups than other methyl donors. It is the sole methyl donor involved in the proper methylation of our DNA and RNA. Therefore, it plays a big role in cellular replication and genetic expression.  B12 and folic acid are involved in methylation reactions and the manufacture of SAMe, thus a deficiency of these nutrients can lead to SAMe dysfunction. SAMe is key to proper methylation in the body. It also methylates amino acids and phospholipids and increases important neurotransmitters.

SAMe deficiency has been linked to individuals who suffer from liver stagnation and depression. SAMe prevents uncontrolled cell division, which is the main feature of cancer cells. It also inhibits the enzyme involved in cancer cell proliferation. The brain needs SAMe to make neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which are important for mental health and preventing depression. The antidepressant effects of SAMe may be more effective in men. Some researchers suggest that SAMe may work by increasing serotonin in the brain in the same way that antidepressants do. SAMe also enhances cognition by improving brain cell membrane fluidity and function. SAMe has also been shown to improve mood after childbirth and the stress associated with drug detoxification and rehabilitation because it raises brain levels of serotonin and dopamine, and improves the binding of neurotransmitters to receptor sites to improve their activities. SAMe can be used safely with SSRIs and produces a positive effect on the outcome of the treatment. SAMe positively impacts glutathione production, which may also protect the brain from oxidative damage caused by toxins or degenerative diseases.

SAMe also supports joint health. A deficiency of SAMe in the joint tissue, like a deficiency of glucosamine, can cause the loss of cartilage and cartilage degeneration, leading to pain and impaired joint mobility. SAMe offers similar benefits to relieve pain and reduce osteoarthritis without the side effects of conventional painkillers. Fibromyalgia is associated with chronic musculoskeletal pain, depression, and fatigue. In double-blind human clinical studies, SAMe has been shown to reduce fibromyalgia symptoms including pain reduction and mood improvement.

Here are some amazing health benefits of SAMe:
  • Protects the liver and supports liver detoxification pathways.
  • Relieves depression and supports mental health.
  • Enhances cognition and improves brain cell function.
  • Relieves osteoarthritis and improves joint health.
Regarding the dosage of SAMe supplementation, SAMe is usually recommended at 200 to 400 mg twice daily. Safe and effective doses range from 800-1600 mg for most conditions. SAMe rarely produces side effects other than occasional nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort. Those struggling with digestive issues should take SAMe with food, which is gentle on the stomach. Pregnant women should take SAMe only under medical supervision. There are no known drug interactions with SAMe based on current studies. SAMe is unstable and requires optimal storage conditions because it can quickly change color and lose potency when exposed to air and moisture. Therefore, choosing blister packs instead of bottles is a good idea.

By the way, I will be at the Metaphysical, Psychic & wellness Fair on Sept.21st at Knox Church in Parksville. I will be offering a talk on "How Can Our Belief System Affect Our Health", I will also offer intuitive readings including palm reading, tarot card reading, Vedic Astrology reading, holistic health consultations, etc. Please check my poster below for more details, everyone is welcome and let's support local events! I am looking forward to seeing you there.
