Jupiter’s First Steps
The first degrees of any sign is similar to a child taking his first steps, shaky, unstable, learning how to ground and settle in. Jupiter may be the four-leaf clover of the planetary line-up, but even Jove is not without his growing pains.
Jupiter entered Cancer on June 9th, this is a really fortunate move for goodwill Jupiter. Jupiter is associated with expansion, but also integration. Expansion also has a limit to where we grow and how much we can learn. We must also take the time to incorporate how we are growing and what we are learning within ourselves for a more fully integrated, whole individual.
4.10.23 Moon-day Musing
This new cycle of Jupiter, as he begins to depart from Aries and heads towards Taurus, we are preparing our own next phase of life. This phase will ask us for endurance, honesty, compassion, and even a little salt of the earth humility. A fresh Jupiter brings in new faith, generous charity, and expansive optimism. Just as the trees are bearing buds in the northern hemisphere, we open our windows and let the fresh spring air move the stale winter fog.
