Jupiter Retrograde 2031: Dates, Signs and Stations
One window opening in 2031 · 123 days between stations · Sagittarius and Scorpio
Jupiter turns retrograde once in 2031, on 15 April 2031, and turns direct again on 16 August 2031. Counting only the calendar days of 2031, Jupiter is retrograde on 124 of them.
15 April to 16 August, in Sagittarius and Scorpio
Jupiter stations retrograde on 15 April 2031 at 4°41′ Sagittarius, in Mula, and stations direct on 16 August 2031 at 24°50′ Scorpio, in Jyeshtha. Between the two stations it travels back 9.8° of the zodiac over 123 days.
4°41′ Sagittarius, the 15 April station, is in Mula pada 2, the Taurus navamsa. 24°50′ Scorpio, the 16 August station, is in Jyeshtha pada 3, the Aquarius navamsa. The arc between them spans 4 padas, from Jyeshtha pada 3 up to Mula pada 2, and Jupiter crosses every degree of it three times: forward before 15 April, backward until 16 August, and forward again afterwards. Jupiter is in its own sign in Sagittarius and in a friend's sign in Scorpio.
That arc crosses a sign boundary, so the 15 April retrograde of 2031 begins in Sagittarius and ends in Scorpio. The day of that backward re-entry is outside the 2026–2028 ingress table, so this page does not give one.
The site’s ingress, nakshatra and conjunction tables run from 2026 to 2028, so for the 2031 window they have nothing to add, and this page adds nothing in their place.
It begins 398 days after the previous Jupiter retrograde began on 13 March 2030, and 274 days after that one ended.
How 2031 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 2031 window, at 123 days and 9.8°, is the longest of them by length and the narrowest by arc.
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 2031 the day is what two careful sources will agree on.
