Jupiter is the planet of envisioning, intuition and faith. It correlates to teachers and teachings, to higher education, belief systems, religions, and spirituality. Also of the explorer, hunter, sportsman, risk taker, and adventurer, of travels of the body, mind, heart, and soul. Jupiter is forward looking and future bound. In its search for more knowledge and higher truths, this envisioning forms the base of its creations and its crusades. Jupiter’s creation process seeks to fulfill the growing need, to realize that which offers the most promise.

Jupiter in Cancer opens a wider aperture to the emotional realm. On the positive, Jupiter in Cancer can provide us with the opportunity to hold a more truthful dialogue with ourselves and others regarding our essential needs and our sensitivities. Jupiter in Cancer can increase the potential to find greater emotional fulfillment, to feel better nourished and supported. Despite our distances and our differences, the truth of the matter is that we are all in the tub together. One way or another, Jupiter in Cancer raises our compassion and humanitarianism.

Whether we have insight into the bigger picture or not Jupiter points us in the direction of that which offers the greatest opportunity for our growth.

Jupiter’s visit to Cancer puts an added emphasis on all matters pertaining to this sign archetype. Here’s a list: home, family, roots, ancestry, legacies of the past; real estate, land holdings; nurturance, nourishment, food, comfort zones, vulnerabilities, self preservation; all things pertaining to personal, domestic, and national safety and security.

Jupiter’s influence can also be experienced as migratory, transitional, and travelling. When Jupiter reaches an extreme, it has the potential for wandering too far off base, to create growing alienation, uprooting, and physical or emotional displacement. When it operates at an extreme, Jupiter has no middle road or moderation. Serfdom is quickly overtaking the middle class life. Already there a growing number of people who were once middle class and who now live in their cars. Our children and youth are our most vulnerable citizens. They are greatest losers of corporate and political greed, and of the grossly unnatural social, patriarchal, and religious dogmas that have dictated everyday realities for far too long. They are our future, and the ones in the greatest of need.

Jupiter in the water sign of Cancer raises the tides of the oceans and rivers, the tides of emotions and public sentiment. Flooding is already wreaking havoc on farmers and city dwellers. Dying oceans and marine life, and dwindling clean water resources are already hurling us along a sharp corner turn into our fast approaching future.

Planetary Aspects:
Once Jupiter advances into Cancer, it will form a grand trine in the water signs with Saturn in Scorpio, and Neptune and Chiron in Pisces. With some ebb and flow among the key players, this grand trine configuration will continue through to the end of 2013 and resume again for a couple of months in spring of 2014.

Water has many states of being. It is healing, nourishing and cleansing, but can also be also formidable, relentless, and violent. Large scale catastrophes, such as the ones that have just occurred in Alberta and India, remind us of the preciousness, the randomness, and the precariousness of life. The forces of nature are not about to subside, in fact, large scale disasters will continue with increasing frequency. It is our new reality. At any moment, anything can happen. Promise yourself that you will not miss a single opportunity. Promise yourself to live each moment to the fullest, to aspire higher, to love with all your heart, to gift yourself and others with your full presence and your best – always.

Jupiter is considered exalted in the sign of Cancer. This means that Jupiter can make the fullest use of Cancer’s attributes and propensities. In its home sign, Neptune is also optimizing on its resources and potentials. Neptune in Pisces brings mass consciousness to a focal point. Along with Chiron in Pisces, a destiny raising, key-in-the-ignition influence, Neptune sources from creative potential that is now ready to be accessed. Saturn in Scorpio transforms the potential into a tangible reality. Saturn in Scorpio can reformulate, restructure, or resurrect that which has previously existed. Saturn in Scorpio can be empowering and reinforcing, or it can be destructive and dismantling.
As with all planetary influences, there exists a myriad of possibilities for how things can play out. This grand trine holds the potential to create great healing and a completely transformed reality base, but it is also one that can entrench us deeper into our self-destructive patterns.

Either way, watch for the last week of July and the month of August to be especially triggering, accelerating, perhaps even explosive, thanks to first Mars, then Jupiter activating the dynamic Uranus/Pluto transit. These transits set the stage for a major breakthrough, for radical change, sudden and swift progress, or for something completely new and unexpected to overtake us.

Jupiter is the wisdom planet. In our individual lives, it is an opportune time to consciously aim to make the inner shifts and outer changes that will set a more secure and wholesome foundation for our future. It is our birthright to be safe, to be nourished, respected, and cared for, to love and to be loved.

Great energetic/cosmic potential. It depends on every one of you which way to stir the mothership. Live consciously, make the right choices and take right action towards positive developments instead of living passively and expecting that things will be fixed on your behalf.
