Catching up:
One more. We’ve got one more big change on the way: Uranus entering Gemini on July 7th.
All my recent blogs posts have mostly been lists of slow moving planets in new signs. Hard to wrap my mind around it all. I’ve been blogging since 2011. Everything is different now. There was no Tik-Tok then. Blogs were the thing. No artificially intelligent writing. Facebook and Twitter and this here blog was where/how people found me. So now what? I never was able to convert what I did into funny memes or videos and I don’t think I ever will so here we are. I’m writing to you once again (and new book on the way early 2026).
The least you need to know about the energies right now:
Jupiter entered Cancer with a BOOM. A boom-splash. Right off the bat squaring both Saturn and Neptune. Both are exact in the coming days. What does it mean?
Jupiter is expanding your family or your longing, your feeling, for family. That’s one way to look at it. Saturn is some kind of restriction. My family just came to visit. It was a glorious week and now they’ve gone back home. That’s the Saturn restriction. I can’t see them now. I miss them. But Jupiter is also square Neptune: I can dream about when I’ll see them. Make plans. Feel the love. Boundaries cannot separate us. Jupiter Neptune is BLISS. Jupiter Saturn is: you can have your bliss but let’s put a rule around it. A parameter. Measured, a little at a time. Maybe I’ll visit them in the fall or winter, give that new carry-on suitcase something to do.
Cancer isn’t only symbolic of family though (and Cancer Season begins this week). Cancer is… food, memory, the mother, the baby, love, creativity, intuition, sensitivity, taking things personally, tears, chocolate, nurturing, home, comfort, the crab shell, not wanting to leave the house, kvetching, sentimental, clannish, wanting to feed people, wanting to take care of people, giving giving giving, strong emotions, range of emotion. Cancer is kindness. We carry the shell on our back and we make ourselves at home. We’re at home giving birth. No wonder Sandor Ferenczi was a Cancer! (He was an early psychoanalyst who was close to Freud but then strayed from the doctrine!)
Questions of home. Questions of love. Questions of motherhood and mothering. How do we feed ourselves? My editor is a Cancer, too, and one time she said to me how she wants to soothe my Virgo planets when she feels them getting out of sorts (anxious). My sister-in-law told me she felt calm around me. That I had a calming presence. (Sometimes I think the first house Moon Pluto conjunction is what causes that calming hum.)
Jupiter spending its year in Cancer is indeed a gift for the Cancer Suns and Moons and stelliums and Ascendents and South Nodes. Jupiter is a blessing. Something good *will* happen, some kind of repair. It’s no wonder that I saw my family — who I haven’t seen in forever — when Jupiter was newly in Cancer. I’m also thinking of two different trips. Jupiter is the traveler after all. If only I had the perfect travel buddy for this most perfect trip.
Otherwise, as I often say these days: I don’t know what’s going on! But once Uranus settles down (lol) in Gemini we’ll know a little more. Another clue, another puzzle piece. There is always magic afoot. Think about it. Think about the high high high frequency of Uranus and put that in fast moving GEMINI of all signs. (Mercury is the lower octave of Uranus.) And think about how it will trine Pluto in Aquarius and sextile Saturn and Neptune in Aries. This is SO lovely. Fire/Air/Fire/Air.
Uranus in Taurus was a heavy, heavy, heavy slog. Every planet-in-sign placement has its good and not so good but Uranus in Taurus was soggy. Uranus in Gemini will be speedy. I predict, overall, we’ll feel more Fool card and less Devil card, but we’ll see.
To be continued xo
