Astrology Forecast for Week of June 24
by Kathy Biehl
Get ready for increase! Wherever you’ve been feeling, sensing or placing energy or emotion, more is on the way. The emotional tides you’ve been feeling are about to swell. That riptide that’s been tugging finally catches you. Floodgates are opening. Dams are breaking.
Remember February, when the energy was wet and static and stagnant? When you were stewing in your own juices (and everyone else’s)? You wanted movement then (be honest); now you’ve got it. The flow we’ve been experiencing all month is ramping up — as unbelievable as that may sound.
The cause is Jupiter moving into Cancer on Tuesday. He’s the guy who says if one is good, why not two? Or five?
For the past year, Jupiter has been whipping issues connected to how we think about ourselves and our world. For the next year, he’s escalating issues of nurturing, nesting, family and tribal connections, tradition, food and parent/child relationships. (Two memes from 90’s TV shows will be iconic: Pteri whining, “I want to be the baby,” when Miss Yvonne and Cowboy Curtis are playing house on Pee Wee’s Playhouse, and the baby in Dinosaurs calling his father, “Not the mama!”)
The last time we enjoyed his more-the-merrier properties in this sign was mid-July 2001 through the end of July 2002. Themes, issues, situations and people from that time will be cycling back through our lives as he passes through Cancer over the next year.
This time, though, the water is different. Jupiter isn’t merely influencing Cancer, but is also stirring up the other two water signs as well. He is joining the grand trine that’s already in progress, anchored by Saturn (structure and order) and Neptune (transcendence, illusion, divine love). Ordinarily a Jupiter transit is subtle and nuanced; the fact that this one is beginning locked into a powerful configuration makes the usual experience unlikely, at first.
