Hello Kelly,
Generally, retrograde planets don't have any more negativity than planets going direct. Planets and signs all have positive and negative qualities - and most people have some of both - or I should say - do some of both. As we grow in our lives, we want to strive to express the positive qualities of each sign and planet.
Retrograde planets tend to be more reflective and inward. Direct planets tend to be more outward and accomplishing. Because a planet is more reflective in retrograde, doesn't mean that ultimately it inhibits accomplishment. In order to be successful, sometimes we need to reflect upon "things" - be it our personality traits or what works and doesn't work in the way we are going about accomplishing. Jupiter R in Aries in the 5th house is about your self-identity and creative self-expressing. It is focused on your need for independence and to follow your own impulses. Aries acts from the inside out without need for affirmation or support from others. You need to reflect upon that - cultivate and assimilate the Aries in you.
I will list retrograde Jupiter qualities below and perhaps you will relate to some of it.
• highly philosophical and meditative
• psychologically attuned and insightful
• outwardly withholding but inwardly expansive
• attuned to inner meanings and purpose, self-guiding
• non-materialistic, seeks inner wealth
• develops own attitudes and belief systems
• alternately overly optimistic or pessimistic
• inward expansion, weight gain or incorporating tendencies
• socially reclusive, prefers one's own company
• rejects conventional and parental belief systems
You mention delays. Saturn is often the culprit of delays. I have Saturn in the first house like you, and I have read that this causes a person to mature slowly into what it is they want to do. It certainly is true for me. I'm 70 now and doing exactly what I've worked hard to do, but it took many years to get here. The thing is though - what I've accomplished does take quite a long time for anyone to accomplish. Saturn will keep you at it until you arrive at your goals. Big goals require more time.
I agree with JupiterASC - Jupiter R in Aries 5th house, cannot make you stupid in relationships - but it can make you impulsive in relationships - Aries can leap right in without getting to know people first. Your Scorpio ASC should make you more cautious though. If it's any consolation, I think we're all just a little stupid in relationships.
