Jupiter in Cancer<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

This week Jupiter enters Cancer, and the forthcoming year will favour Cancerians generally or anyone who has a preponderance of planets in that sign.\u00a0 It is preparing to hook up with the Saturn-Neptune trine to form a Grand Water Trine in the middle of July, which is a real astrological highlight!<\/p>\n

Jupiter in Gemini in the U.K. hasn\u2019t lived up to its promise in terms of educational changes.\u00a0 It has come under the governance of Michael Gove, Education Secretary, who has not evolved his thinking towards the future, but rather tried to propel us back to the 1950s.\u00a0 Another U-turn was announced yesterday, in connection with the teaching of History.<\/p>\n

Jupiter in Cancer will turn us towards family life, or a sense of belonging in Soul groups.\u00a0 It will enable us to express our emotions more joyously, and may bring out some rich literary tomes (such as the third in Hilary Mantel\u2019s trilogy).\u00a0 The preserving and restoration of antiquity also comes under the sign of Cancer, so some old treasures may be unearthed in the archaeological world.<\/p>\n

If there is one book I would recommend for this summer, it\u2019s \u201cThe Dolphin Within\u201d by Olivia de Bergerac.\u00a0 She divides us naturally into four aquatic Archetypes: Dolphins, Turtles, Seahorses and Sharks.\u00a0 Great fun!<\/p>\n

If I would recommend another book for the summer it would be \u201cEcstasy is a New Frequency\u201d by Chris Griscom.\u00a0 Her work has inspired my past-life therapy since 1988. This summer will be a grand opportunity to clear the astral pollution from the planet. This is because the Grand Trine enabled by Jupiter\u2019s entry into Cancer will bring a great sense of global connection and empathy, and much of that operates on the astral level. If you are working with spiritual awareness you may make headway in clearing your emotional body, and that has benefits for all. Chris Griscom\u2019s work is about clearing the emotional body, which she defines as \u201cthe emotional vehicle of consciousness which is an entity and vibrates at a low frequency\u201d.\u00a0 Her thesis is that it tends to dominate the mind and body, and that it can only raise its level in contact with the Spiritual Body, when it is given a better diet of experience.<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We start with a Full Moon in Capricorn today, an extra large Supermoon at that.\u00a0 Moon lovers will be able to revel in its beams.\u00a0 The Moon is at its closest point in relation to the Earth, and so its effects will be heightened.\u00a0 Its placing in Capricorn makes it a good focus for career or life direction, or meditating on the structures of society and how they need to be aligned<\/p>\n

Busy Day Wednesday<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday (26th<\/sup>), Jupiter enters Cancer, and you may notice a sea change in how you are thinking and feeling.\u00a0 You will be engaging more with your emotions, having done what you can with opening up your thinking apparatus while Jupiter was in Gemini.\u00a0 New hope there is for Cancerians, and all water signs for the year ahead which is the natural passage of time for Jupiter\u2019s transit through a sign.\u00a0 Jupiter enters Leo in mid-July 2014.<\/p>\n

Wednesday is a busy day aspect-wise, for Saturn then trines the Sun, and if you are engaged in water sports you will be in your element this summer.\u00a0 It is the sort of aspect which favours signing up at your local Water Sports centre, or beginning a coastal holiday.\u00a0 For those of us without much water in our charts, we can occupy ourselves by getting into our deepest emotional territory (Saturn in Scorpio trine Sun in Cancer).\u00a0 We will find a rich inner world of totemic creatures such as our Inner Crab and Inner Seagull (Cancerian animals), interacting with the darker creatures of Saturn in Scorpio such as Water Snakes, Water Rats and Sharks, and emerge with insights about our inner waterscape which can continue to reveal themselves over the summer.\u00a0 With the three planets Saturn\/Neptune\/Jupiter swishing about in the Grand Water Trine this summer, it is a good time to initiate some good old psychological delving, ducking and diving.\u00a0 If like me you have only one water planet, drowned in a past life, and can\u2019t properly swim, it is time to make friends with the water.\u00a0 Here is Olivia de Bergerac\u2019s definition of the Inner Shark Archetype:<\/p>\n

HUMAN SHARKS \u2013 \u201cPeople who primarily live in beta brainwaves, whose main reaction is to fight.\u00a0 A shark is one of the two characters of the personal stage, the one which demonstrate a lot of will.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also on Wednesday, Mercury turns retrograde, and so it is that intermittent test of your communications coming round again.\u00a0 Hopefully if you have been following this phenomenon for some time (and it has almost become mainstream \u2013 why it\u2019s almost the acceptable face of astrology to blame Mercury retrograde for travel woes and such like) you may have built a set of strategies, such as learning to speak clearly and succinctly, which will ease things.\u00a0 Our local railway ticket office is threatened with closure, and so I am a little more anxious than usual about this one, though I don\u2019t normally find Mercury retrograde too troublesome (oops except for the time I put a pencil in the button of my computer and it went right through, but I won\u2019t do that again).<\/p>\n

The fourth feature on Wednesday is a trine between the Sun and Neptune (thus forming a Grand Trine on the day).\u00a0 This elevates any foundations you laid earlier that day, to the realms of inspiration, and an openness to higher mystical vision.\u00a0 Much can be achieved today, despite possible problems in communication.\u00a0 The Inner Dolphins may now arrive on the inner seascape, and here is Olivia de Bergerac\u2019s description of the Inner Dolphin Archetype:<\/p>\n

HUMAN DOLPHINS \u2013 \u201cPeople who can self-regulate their brains and easily access beta, alpha and theta brainwaves at will, to reach peak performance.\u00a0 They can also access the awakened mind pattern.\u00a0 People who are in touch with their higher self, their full potential.\u00a0 They have explored their turtle, shark and seahorse characters.\u00a0 They know their purpose and do not react, but flow with life.\u201d<\/p>\n

On my contact page is a link to Theresa Wagner\u2019s website about animal communication and her work with dolphins and whales, and under the Interview category you\u2019ll find an interview with O\u2019Douce and a video of her underwater work.<\/p>\n

On Thursday (27th<\/sup>) Venus enters Leo, leaving the dreaminess of Cancer (wafting on a Venetian gondola) and entering a more showy and glittery phase.\u00a0 It is time to show your wares, stop hiding your talents under a bushel, and enjoy the delights of summer picnics and other indulgences, weather permitting.<\/p>\n

We are working towards the Grand Trine of Jupiter\/Saturn\/Neptune now (17th<\/sup>\/18th<\/sup> July) so have faith in some aspect of your collective endeavours, and start colouring in your dreams.<\/p>\n

Wimbledon<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Wimbledon starts tomorrow, and I have put down some initial thoughts, but no clear predictions of winners yet in an earlier blog today.\u00a0 But I will update my thoughts and add other favourite players such as Nadal as we go along.<\/p>\n
