Critical As a Jupiter in Virgo, your high expectations can also translate into a critical attitude at times.

Jupiter in Virgo Transit

1
Jupiter in Virgo transits influence your productivity and work ethic. Virgo is a humble, driven sign—so when Jupiter transits Virgo, passing through the zodiac sign on its way around the sun, you may find that you start paying more attention to the quality of your work (and focus less on getting attention or approval for it). You may feel inspired to work harder and more efficiently!
- You may also find that you’re able to understand and analyze things in more detail during Jupiter in Virgo transits.
- Virgo is a very detail-oriented sign, while Jupiter rules optimism and growth, which means it may be the perfect time to focus on honing one of your skills.
2
It may be harder to focus on goals during Jupiter in Virgo transits. Jupiter’s influence often pushes you toward your ultimate goal, inspiring you to focus on the bigger picture. Meanwhile, precise, painstaking Virgo wants every stepping stone and interim goal to be absolutely perfect—which might make it difficult to figure out where to put your focus when working on bigger projects.
- Try to find a balance between the two energies. Set your ultimate goal as well as smaller goals to help you get there, but don’t worry about making every single thing you do perfect. Just do your best!
3
Jupiter in Virgo transits may cause you to be more critical. Since both Jupiter and Virgo’s influence lead to high standards and expectations, you may also find yourself being more judgmental of people when their efforts are less than perfect. As a result, you might end up criticizing the people around you more than usual.
- Remember: even though Jupiter in Virgo transits are the perfect time to up the ante and strive for higher-quality work in your own life, that doesn’t mean you should be too hard on yourself or anyone else.
- Make an effort to relax and be more social during the transit. Enjoy yourself! Work isn’t everything; it’s important to have fun, too.

Section 5 of 5:

Jupiter Retrograde in Virgo

Jupiter retrograde in Virgo is a time to reflect on service and good deeds. Normally, Jupiter is an energetic and optimistic planet. During retrogrades (when Jupiter appears to move backward in the sky), the planet’s energy shifts, inspiring you to press pause and be more introspective. When Jupiter retrogrades through Virgo, a nurturing and service-oriented sign, consider what you’ve been doing to help others lately—and why.
- For example, you might ask yourself whether you’re satisfied with the amount of time or effort you’re putting into your good deeds.
- Do you feel like you’re doing your part for your loved ones, community, or the world as a whole? Is there something more you want to do?
- Why are you dedicated to serving others? Is it because you feel it’s the right thing to do or because you want to feel better about yourself?
- After asking yourself those questions, you might have a clearer idea of what you want to do next and how you want to be of service to others.
