Jupiter Retrograde 2024: Dates, Signs and Stations
One window opening in 2024 · 118 days between stations · Taurus
Jupiter turns retrograde once in 2024, on 9 October 2024, and turns direct again on 4 February 2025. Counting only the calendar days of 2024, Jupiter is retrograde on 84 of them.
9 October to 4 February 2025, in Taurus
Jupiter stations retrograde on 9 October 2024 at 27°05′ Taurus, in Mrigashira, and stations direct on 4 February 2025 at 17°02′ Taurus, in Rohini. Between the two stations it travels back 10.1° of the zodiac over 118 days.
27°05′ Taurus, the 9 October station, is in Mrigashira pada 2, the Virgo navamsa. 17°02′ Taurus, the 4 February station, is in Rohini pada 3, the Gemini navamsa. The arc between them spans 4 padas, from Rohini pada 3 up to Mrigashira pada 2, and Jupiter crosses every degree of it three times: forward before 9 October, backward until 4 February, and forward again afterwards. Jupiter is in an enemy's sign in Taurus.
The whole 10.1° lies inside Taurus, so for the 9 October retrograde of 2024 there is no sign change to date: Jupiter in Taurus covers all 118 days.
The site’s ingress, nakshatra and conjunction tables run from 2026 to 2028, so for the 2024 window they have nothing to add, and this page adds nothing in their place.
How 2024 Compares With Jupiter’s Other Windows
Across the 7 Jupiter retrogrades the site computes from 2024 to 2031, a window lasts 118 to 123 days between stations and retraces 9.8° to 10.1°. The 2024 window, at 118 days and 10.1°, is the shortest of them by length.
Every date here is a day, never a time. A planet at a station is barely moving, so the minute it turns is the least stable figure in the table; for Jupiter in 2024 the day is what two careful sources will agree on.
