Jupiter,
is the largest planet in our Universe according to current scientific data, and is traveling in Cancer from June 20, 2013 until July, 2014. Most students of Astrology tends to hang on to him as the 'lucky' guy in our charts. If that is true, we deserve some good news, but we also have to be reminded about the two sides of every planet. Another side of the 'charmer' of the zodiac is that he-over-spends and over-eats. Watch 'over-doing' anything if Jupiter is active in your chart!!! You will be able to check out your own Sun sign in relating to what Jupiter might - or might not - effect you during the summer of 2013 later (in this article).
Jupiter's two brothers, Neptune, (in early degree of Pisces) and Pluto (mid degree of Capricorn) are a crucial link and explanation of the current state of affairs throughout the World. We know Uranus is involved in this quotation as well with the metamorphic challenges the world at large experiences at the moment. Jupiter will challenge Pluto - and Uranus in August of 2013, thus we need to pay attention now as Jupiter always travels fast and we have to have faith that he will show us his 'lucky' side ...
Neptune in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Scorpio are Water elements which will benefit those that are artists, dreamers, visionaries and leaders for the right cause. The folks that escape from reality with drugs, alcohol or 'over-spending' will get caught in action, and might face their day in court. Illusion comes to mind ... Reality check for all others will aid in the 'summer time blues'. In the Myth, Jupiter is in charge of the Sky, as his brother Neptune takes care of the Ocean, Pluto is always in charge of the Underworld; together they will continue to travel in their three directions to teach us to have faith, compassion, endurance and perseverance.
Jupiter is Exalted in Cancer which means that he likes to be 'home' (infamous word for Cancer), and take care of those in need. Baking those brownies! We know already that the United States of America is a Cancer country ... and will start to feel the impact of Pluto's opposition to its Sun (power, vitality, strength and Spirit). The US chart will also be braced by Jupiter's impact in July and August of 2013, and will increase his shape shifting personality during 2014. The Good God as many claim him to represent will be great for many and a challenge for others ... Don't over-do anything!
Jupiter represents the Guru in the Hindu tradition which allows us to trust our inner Guide as the ultimate Guru representing a teacher that leads us from the dark to the light. A new indication in this "New Age" is that we don't need a Teacher, or Guru, and a trend is that everybody desires to be the teacher instead of the student...just saying and noticing ... progress continues!
Jupiter is the God that can change his voice, his looks and shape shifts to all kinds of neat animals. He is depicted with a Thunderbolt and an Eagle. We listen to the wind and we respect that when a weather warning is on the radar, we don't act foolishly and run around naked in the streets ... even though that is probably a liberating feeling ...
Now let's Journey with Jupiter! Allow your positive affirmations, prayers and faith to grow deep within. Your Sun, Moon and Ascendant (and everything else under the Sun) in Cancer might benefit your Self and your surroundings! Continue to read and you will find more AstroShamanic suggestions in relating to planetary shift in July, 2013!
Aries: Don't run too fast in the mist of exploring the restless feelings inside of you! Mercury is still hitting you in your head, so be nice to that 'kepi'. Lay low and allow August to be the catalyst for your next planning phase.
Taurus: When we do what we like to do - the money will follow ... Saturn is teaching matters of importance, so listen to the boss, the teacher and possible your father. More important is to listen to your latest mishap and learn from mistakes. We become wiser with age ... perhaps!
Gemini: The infamous nerves in anything Gemini is still high strung until mid July. Take extra long breaths and walks which help the nerves and mind any time! Illusions come to mind as well, so when the healing from Chiron (the wounded healer) is felt - allow it to integrate within. And listen to those that give you advice ...
Cancer: With the Sun, Jupiter and Mercury still in Retrograde, the sensitive Water sign will have the benefit pf knowing about letting go of emotions. Many graduations, weddings, family gatherings, and parties will be planned. When Mercury moves Direct on July 21, most Cancers will either be exhausted or allowing healing to occur.
Leo: The Love planet Venus might get you that movie date. Suddenly he or she will agree, so go for it! If it happens to be a challenge, ask someone else. And make sure to work on the creative part of you throughout the month of July, it will greatly benefit your pride.
Virgo: For some Virgos the benefit of patience and endurance is rewarded in July. Many Virgos use their intuition without being aware of that fact. This month promises a reward, especially those that are aware of their independent nature. Visualize - and magic starts to happen!
Libra: July will become a challenge, a matter that Libras don't care for. Peace is in their heart, but doesn't manifest when desired. Moody Librans are advised to check on that fact and balance their Love life - and Love will follow. Don't push it! But enjoy it!
