Jupiter Enters Cancer/Cardinal T-square/Black Moon Lilith

On June 27 Jupiter entered the sign of its exaltation Cancer, where it will stay until July 17 2014. Jupiter enters Cancer forming a conjunction to the Sun, and a large Grand Trine to Neptune and Saturn. The exaltation of a planet in a sign means that a planet’s qualities expresses itself especially well through that sign. Jupiter’s instinct to grow and connect is suited well for Cancer. Cancer represents home, family, the familiar, the past, one’s roots, ancestors, nurturing, bonding, connection, security, feeling, and emotions.

It would be hard to imagine a better influence and omen for this passage of Jupiter through the first water sign. None of us alive today have experienced this kind of energy from the cosmos, since Neptune was never in Pisces in our lives, other than now. The large trine will be exact between the 17 and 18 of July. If you have any planets or angles at 3-7 degrees of water you may well experience a deepening of your spiritual life, happiness with family, increased flow of funds, gained resources, expansion and fulfilling dreams.

A Cardinal T-square is created by the movement of Jupiter into Cancer (June 27), thus opposing Pluto in Capricorn while squaring Uranus in Aries. This activation of the Uranus Pluto square by expansive Jupiter is in effect July to September. Jupiter will move from the intellectually and technically savvy sign of Gemini into the watery sign of Cancer. In this sign, it will square Uranus and oppose Pluto, making a stress aspect to both. Jupiter never does anything small—whatever it comes into contact with becomes bigger for better or for worse.

Lastly, Black Moon Lilith enters Cancer June 9, 2013 - March 4, 2014. Black Moon Lilith is not an actual planet, but a point in the Moon’s orbit furthest away from the Earth (the apogee). Black Moon Lilith in Cancer is a symbol of the underlying feelings related to mothers, mothering, femininity, caring, nurturing, home, family, breasts and sex. Lilith is equated with the feminine dark side of the divine. If so, then look out! Unhealthy sexuality, perversion of femininity, breast cancer, the destruction of the family unit, and unhappy mothers will be some areas that may become a prime focus.
