Jupiter Gets Into It 

 

You know that person you invite to gatherings who is always fun?   The life-of-the-party person that once they arrive you can say, "Hey go over to that corner and talk to those folks," and soon that corner is the loudest and the liveliest.  That person?    Well in astrology that person is always Jupiter.    "Hey everyone, Jupiter is here!!"    “Yay!” says the crowd.  

 

Two days ago, Jupiter arrived in Cancer with appetizers, a housewarming gift and a basket of fresh baked cookies.   All would be perfect if it was not for the fact that Jupiter is looking for trouble and is going for the wrong corner.   Last August he got into a squabble with Saturn and then they got into it again in December.    Now they are doing their third round of fighting.     

 

At the end of May I wrote about this event coming on June 15^th when we get the final round of Jupiter square Saturn.    

“In the USA, this aspect is tied to last year’s election and Donald Trump win.  In round one and two, the signs activated were water Pisces and air Gemini.  Now in this final round we have watery Cancer and fiery Aries.   Something hot and steamy will probably grab headlines.  It may involve politics, or it may not.  It probably will be…(drumroll).. big.  (There’s that Jupiter operative word). When Cancer and Aries misbehave, they both can be petty.   There could be something disappointing that activates an angry response.   However, keeping cool is a strength of Saturn and finding philosophy is the work of Jupiter.   For people who have planets at zero, one and two degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn this tension could be profound for you.  Given this is all happening in the Gemini lunar month, please remember you will probably benefit if you ask, “How do I need to adapt, pivot or flex?”  

 

So that is June 15 and that is Saturn.   Then on June 18, Jupiter gets into it again, this time a square to Neptune.    I also wrote about it at the end of May:

“This aspect is interesting.  The last time Jupiter squared Neptune was in 2019 which it did three times in mid Pisces and Sagittarius.    Now we have only one exact hit and like Saturn above, it is in the signs Cancer & Aries. Given Neptune has just moved into Aries and has not had any outer planet aspects it is hard to say what this square will present. It is an expansion of emotions meets something mystical, psychological and unworldly.   The last time Neptune was in Aries was 1861.   Neptune is not great for reality checks; it is more in the business of inspiring people than a proper accounting and assessment.  Jupiter can go long in big ideas and big enthusiasm but in Cancer happy emotions can be, too big or crabby emotions too dire.   Finding the middle is very challenging.   In an ideal world Saturn who is also in relationship with Neptune and Jupiter will mute any of the extreme feelings.   But for sure, between June 9 and June 18, things could be emotional and janky.    Just remember we have Cancer Jupiter for a whole year so whatever comes up now that is annoying is not the whole picture and we will have other opportunities to tap that are good.”

 

On the mundane front; the political landscape and timing of the ICE raids which are in the news appear to be part of these Jupiter aspects.   The martialing of battle resources lines up with Saturn in Aries.  The stories coming out about families and communities impacted by raids and what people feel about them, speaks to Jupiter in Cancer.  Neptune in Aries, is part and parcel of fuzzy narratives of a “City on Fire” when the reality is unrest in a few blocks in one corner of a large city.   “People will believe what they will believe” says, Jupiter.   It is hard to say what all of this will yield globally and personally but what is clear is that it can be overwhelming.   

Everyone should decide what they can handle.   Don’t get dragged into anything you do not want to get pulled into.   If you do find yourself in some kind of mental battle, take care of self.   Go long on self-nurturing.  Play music that lifts or calms your mood.  Eat light and healthy.   Watch any substances (Neptune can be wonky on that front).      Also remember you are not alone.    Lots of people having lots of big emotions.  Hang in there.
