Anoth­er turn­ing in the Wheel of Life
that was not­ed in the Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2013:

 Jupiter Enters Can­cer (June 25 until July
16, 2014)

The Lord of Truth and Prin­ci­ples moves into the sign of Cancer,
and your jour­ney of dis­cov­ery brings you home again to con­sid­er the root nature
of what you hold to be true. Your steady growth is found­ed upon start­ing with a
good foun­da­tion, and Jupiter in Can­cer will help you deep­en your expe­ri­ence of
being cen­tered upon what mat­ters most. 

I
dis­cussed the bless­ings that Jupiter is offer­ing this year in the 2013 Fore­cast. With the Grand Trine of Jupiter, Sat­urn and Nep­tune and then the
Grand T‑Square with Uranus and Plu­to, you could say that Jupiter is play­ing the star­ring role in the spir­i­tu­al forces shap­ing your world this year…Here is most
of that entry again:

…Jupiter
will bring to bear a mes­sage from the Foun­da­tion-Source, the ever-renewing
well­spring of life that flows from the sign of Can­cer. Jupiter rules the
Prin­ci­ples, Truths and Beliefs that give and form the mean­ings of your life
jour­ney, that form the steady guide for your self-unfold­ment and purposeful
growth. Jupiter is offer­ing this spir­i­tu­al mes­sage from the heart, from the
source, from the roots of your life. For as you strug­gle to find your way
between Uranus and Plu­to, between Free­dom and Order, between self-asser­tion and
self-sac­ri­fice, you will need this cool­ing, calm­ing and refresh­ing reminder of
what you stand upon, from whence you have come and what holds you true to one
another.

Jupiter
in Can­cer serves to restore and renew your feel­ings of secu­ri­ty that originate
in your most inti­mate and pro­found expe­ri­ence that you are con­nect­ed or part of
some­thing greater than just your­self. As you grow and devel­op, in life after
life, you will find your own true cen­ter by being and belong­ing with one
anoth­er. It will usu­al­ly begin in your affec­tions and bonds expe­ri­enced in your
imme­di­ate fam­i­ly group, and it will slow­ly and increas­ing­ly extend itself in
any life, (and over many life­times, in life after life), into your ever-unfolding
expan­sion of con­scious­ness and spir­i­tu­al connectedness.

This
sense of belong­ing, of root­ed­ness and secu­ri­ty, expands from your immediate
fam­i­ly out­ward to your vil­lage, and then per­haps it may move out fur­ther to a
local area of sev­er­al com­mu­ni­ties. Then it con­tin­ues to grow out­ward even
fur­ther in your belong­ing to some group­ing per­haps ground­ed in your identity
with an eth­nic group, and then per­haps into some greater group­ing of many
eth­nic­i­ties. Even­tu­al­ly you find an even larg­er sense of iden­ti­ty and meaning
with­in an ever more com­plex cul­ture and soci­ety, until you final­ly experience
your pro­found famil­iar­i­ty with all who jour­ney in the fam­i­ly known as
“human”.

This
fun­da­men­tal spir­i­tu­al truth of con­nect­ed­ness will final­ly blos­som forth, as you
reach the “promised land”, the pro­found spir­i­tu­al epiphany of
under­stand­ing that all life is one, all beings are one with one anoth­er, that
every­thing in this cos­mos is a spark of the one Great Spir­it in whom we live
and love and find our true being.

As
Jupiter forms its Square and Oppo­si­tion, it will bring to bear these influences
upon the dynam­ic strug­gle of Uranus and Plu­to. The chal­lenge for every person
and for all group­ings of peo­ple will be to hold to the high­est lev­els of
inspi­ra­tion that Jupiter can pro­vide here, remind­ing one and all of their
com­mon bonds and inter­ests, elic­it­ing a desire for greater inclu­sive­ness and
gen­er­at­ing greater con­sid­er­a­tions for the well-being of one anoth­er. If they
can do this, then the strug­gles of Uranus with Plu­to can be mod­u­lat­ed and even
mit­i­gat­ed by find­ing that deep­er cen­ter where all can join togeth­er, founded
upon these shared feel­ings of belonging.

With
Jupiter’s influ­ence the fer­vent dri­ve for free­dom by Uranus can be soothed,
with a gen­tle reminder that as much as you must assert and be freer yourself
you must equal­ly acknowl­edge your need to care for one anoth­er too. The
Plu­ton­ian dri­ve to cre­ate, main­tain and extend your own sacred space must be
equal­ly bal­anced by the con­sid­er­a­tion you show for the sacred space of one and
all. 

But
there is also the very real pos­si­bil­i­ty of indi­vid­u­als and groups react­ing in a
more parochial way to this chal­lenge, and out of fear-formed echoes of their
past be steered by the emo­tion­al ties of Jupiter in Can­cer to react in more
exclu­sive or defen­sive ways. They will act more nar­row­ly, and iden­ti­fy with
whom they belong, whether fam­i­ly, tribe or cul­ture by build­ing walls not
bridges and so cre­ate an even greater gulf between “us ver­sus them”.
Then this oppor­tu­ni­ty for growth and self-tran­scen­dence could be lost in those
ego-dri­ven fears that have echoed through­out oth­er his­tor­i­cal peri­ods faced
with sim­i­lar demands for self-transformation.

The
chal­lenge will be laid down, either to rise up to a high­er under­stand­ing and
con­duct with one anoth­er, to make some mutu­al sac­ri­fice and unite…or to face
the divide with­in and between us by refus­ing to join in a greater whole, to
give into fear and so increase those sep­a­ra­tions from one anoth­er. And this
fear-based fail­ing would most cer­tain­ly quick­en the descent to a more difficult
des­tiny for one and all. The choice will be there, and each must decide…but
there is hope…

Yes,
it is from Jupiter’s mean­ings as mod­u­lat­ed by the Sign of Can­cer that you can
find the first of three offer­ings to help you nav­i­gate the year ahead. But
there is much to be hoped for here, because Jupiter is but one part of a gift
of inspi­ra­tion and mean­ing that comes with­in a three-fold bless­ing from your
Star­ry com­pan­ions this year. For what Jupiter is anchor­ing and car­ry­ing forward
to you in August is the mean­ing and mes­sage of the oth­er great align­ment this
year, and which will most thank­ful­ly still be in force dur­ing Jupiter’s August
align­ments with Uranus and Pluto…it is the radi­ant beau­ty of the year, the
Grand Trine in Water of Jupiter, Sat­urn and Neptune.

We
can for­get as we go about our busy lives “down here”, we can forget
how mag­i­cal and how full of mean­ing were the pat­terns dis­cerned by our
ances­tors. How they mar­veled at what stood revealed in this great pageantry
that sweeps before us every day and night by our Star­ry com­pa­ny, those constant
com­pan­ions who dance and form beau­ti­ful, intri­cate and mean­ing­ful pat­terns all
around us. Yes, we can miss the signs and por­tents because we do not see them
or even look for them any­more, but they are there…these Guardians of Life
con­tin­ue their won­drous weav­ing, help­ing us to under­stand our great unfolding
jour­ney through the spaces of space, our walk among stars.

Some­times
these plan­e­tary pat­terns are hard­er to dis­cern, and their true sig­nif­i­cance and
mean­ing even more hid­den from you. But this mid-sum­mer align­ment of Jupiter,
Sat­urn and Nep­tune will, even if not seen, be felt by many…it will be
beau­ti­ful to behold and its mes­sage is sweet and deep.

The
aspects between plan­ets, formed by their angu­lar sep­a­ra­tion from one another,
can be under­stood by divid­ing the Cir­cle of Life by a par­tic­u­lar num­ber. The
divi­sion of the Cir­cle, which is 360 degrees in cir­cum­fer­ence, by the num­ber 2
cre­ates the oppo­si­tion of 180 degrees. The divi­sion by the num­ber 4 cre­ates the
square aspect of 90 degrees. And for our pur­pos­es this July, the divi­sion of
the Cir­cle of Life by the num­ber 3 forms the Trine aspect of 120 degrees.

When­ev­er
three plan­ets line up equal­ly spaced from one anoth­er, it is called a Grand
Trine because the pat­tern is formed by divid­ing the cir­cle of space around you
into three equal por­tions, and find­ing that at each divid­ing point there stands
a plan­et equal­ly dis­tant from the oth­er two along the cir­cle. This divi­sion by
three res­onates with a har­mon­ic that rep­re­sents a poised bal­ance of energies
that are being focused through three dis­tinct avatars, in this case by Jupiter
in Can­cer and Sat­urn in Scor­pio and Nep­tune in Pisces. The Grand Trine of July
is all about the Mean­ing and Pow­er of the ele­ment of Water. It is through these
three Avatars in Water that you will receive inspi­ra­tion to help you walk your
path of des­tiny in this time of great and trans­for­ma­tion­al change.

Hav­ing
already observed the con­tri­bu­tion of Jupiter, let us turn our atten­tion to the
oth­er two Lords, and then turn and see how all three avatars will com­bine and
con­tribute to a greater influ­ence too.

The
mes­sage of Sat­urn in Scor­pio res­onates with the strength, pow­er and depth of
feel­ing that abides in the expe­ri­ence of Union. For as much as Jupiter in
Can­cer upholds the truth of find­ing your con­nec­tion to one anoth­er by looking
to the past, to what you and all around you have come through and from, Saturn
in Scor­pio holds out the neces­si­ty of deal­ing with your ever-resur­gent need,
your yearn­ing neces­si­ty to cross the divide that seem­ing­ly sep­a­rates you from
one anoth­er and so find your greater strength in join­ing togeth­er in your
sacred unions. For when two or more are gath­ered togeth­er, unit­ed in a common
pur­pose for which each has made a right­ful sac­ri­fice, it is from such acts that
the mag­ic and pow­er of spir­i­tu­al growth is in fact real­ized and released. For
it is not enough to remem­ber and hon­or from where you came, it is equally
impor­tant to work togeth­er, to forge deep­er under­stand­ings, to share in the
joys and bur­dens of life and so con­tin­ue to walk this spir­i­tu­al path of your
self-becom­ing, self-unfoldment…together.

The
mes­sage of Nep­tune in Pisces, like bells peal­ing in a dew kissed morning,
thrill with the third and final form of Water-Feel­ing, which is that numinous
force that resides with­in each par­ti­cle of this cre­ation, pro­vid­ing the impetus
that inspir­its the lives of all who jour­ney with­in this cos­mos. The creative
force that is behind all of the phe­nom­e­na in this uni­verse is known by many
names. For many it is called Faith, some would say it is their Dreams or the
pow­er of the Imag­i­na­tion, but none can tru­ly cap­ture the mys­tery behind what
flows through each and every being, that leads them out from with­in, as they
unfold as the sparks of the Divine, these self-becom­ings who ever strive to
grow, to become some­thing more.

For
it is this feel­ing that binds all as one and one to the All, and that leads all
out so as to grow beyond what they have so far cre­at­ed, to walk the path­ways of
light and love out­ward into the spaces of space, out upon their wondrous,
spi­ral­ing jour­ney. It is this Great Jour­ney which will even­tu­al­ly bring them
back to return as some­thing more, hav­ing become so much more than what they
were, when they return home again.

For
as much as Jupiter in Can­cer will pro­vide you with your foun­da­tion of feeling,
and Sat­urn in Scor­pio will teach you about the courage you have with­in you to
reach out and join with one anoth­er, it is Nep­tune in Pisces who com­pletes your
cir­cle of life, Nep­tune brings it all togeth­er by singing to you of your
ever-renascent pow­er, forged in your begin­ning by your nature as a spark of the
Divine and that holds you as one of count­less cre­ators who need but dream of a
bet­ter world…and it will be so.

For
this is how the Uni­verse came to be and con­tin­ues to become, because your
Spir­it is the very essence of it all, the pow­er behind your Imag­i­na­tion, Dreams
and Faith…The Pow­er of your Becom­ing, The Pow­er of your Self.

Togeth­er
these three, Jupiter, Sat­urn and Nep­tune can show you once again that you are
the mak­er, you are the Cre­ator of what you face now. That you can feel more
tru­ly the roots that hold you all togeth­er, that you can feel the greater joy
that comes from join­ing with one anoth­er, and that you can love and cre­ate a
bet­ter world by believ­ing and dream­ing for one another. 

Yes,
this will be a year to remem­ber, and quite a sum­mer indeed. The energies
delin­eat­ed above will be build­ing in towards the end of June, grow­ing through
July and cli­max­ing in August. The con­tin­u­ing chal­lenge laid down to you by
Uranus and Plu­to may be some­what eased by these spir­i­tu­al ema­na­tions that come
from this grand align­ment of Plan­e­tary Lords, and equal­ly and most challenging
acti­vat­ed by the T‑Square formed by Jupiter too.

There
is much to be hoped for here. There is the hope offered in the Grand Trine that
per­haps the things which divide the many from one anoth­er will be sur­passed by
this greater under­stand­ing of our mutu­al need to sac­ri­fice for the greater good
of one another.

Let
us hope, may we dream…and it shall be…

So
now you enter your time of Chal­lenge and Oppor­tu­ni­ty, of these grand and great
for­ma­tions which will elic­it, inspire and guide you too…Today Jupiter
moves into Can­cer and begins a series of Super Align­ments in both the Grand
Trine of Water with Sat­urn and Nep­tune, and the Grand T‑Square with Uranus and
Pluto…

So
it is right and prop­er that you should bow your head and give thanks for these
Gifts of the Spir­it that this most Benev­o­lent Lord bestows…and to all the
Star­ry Host who are there for you too…

Your
Cos­mic Com­pan­ions Sing and Dance the Truths of Life, for it is what they have become, but in this they
also serve…For they are a part of a great Spir­i­tu­al Hierarchy…And, in time,
you too will more ful­ly awak­en to these self-same mean­ings and bless­ings in
your own life and World, you will under­stand, you will lift up you and
yours…and you too will love and serve…

For
these Truths and Ener­gies are with­in you, and your only illu­sion is the
expe­ri­ence of separation…

For
you came from the Stars, you are one with the Stars…

and
your des­tiny is to return one day to be a Star among those Stars.

You
are on this Jour­ney of Self-Becom­ing as are these great Lords of Life and
Spirit.

You
are nev­er alone, not ever, for you trav­el in this Great Com­pa­ny of Light and Love.

Togeth­er
you jour­ney through the spaces of Space, and that Self-Same spark of the Divine
with­in you is also with them…as it is with one and All.

Today
is a day to cel­e­brate your Fam­i­ly in Spir­it, your Fam­i­ly of Life, your Family
of Love.

Today, Jupiter enters the Halls of Cancer.

Today,
Jupiter brings you Home to your Beginning.

Today,
Jupiter reminds you who you are, and

how your Ori­gin is your Destiny.

For you are one of the ones of the One…and,

You are here to Love and care for one another.

You are here to be one with the One.
