THE "MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS" !!!

Jupiter - the planet known as the Great Benefic, and the planet which symbolizing healing, growth, expansion, opportunity, wealth, laws, ethics, philosophy, beliefs, religion, faith, broadening horizons, and understanding, higher education, travel - especially long distance, as well as excessiveness and over-indulgence - began its 12 month transit through the sympathetic, emotional sign of Cancer today, June 25th, at 9:40 PM EDT ... Jupiter was last in Cancer from July 12th/13th, 2001 through August 1st, 2002 - anything happen in your life that stands out during this period ???

The time has come again for emotional healing ... one must find the courage and strength to take an honest look deep within and begin to release and let go of those negative thoughts, feelings and emotions that have been holding us back as well as possibly creating "dis"-ease within in our bodies ... it is now time to address issues within our home and families as well as issues surrounding our sense of security and the strength of our foundations in order to promote personal and spiritual growth ... and as far as our personal health, this is now the time to begin healing, if needed, in the area of the breasts and the stomach which are ruled by Cancer ... there could also be expansion on the home front - making repairs and/or adding on to the existing house or, in some cases, moving into a bigger home ...

Jupiter in Cancer is considered to be placed in one of its luckiest positions ... Jupiter is considered to be exalted in Cancer meaning it functions even more efficiently than its natural sign which in this case is Sagittarius ... Jupiter's energy is expressed very harmoniously as its forces and virtues are magnified - the nurturing and caring principles are greatly expanded ... planets in the sign of their exaltation are said ti feel like being in the house of a very good friend ...

Jupiter in Cancer yields a much deeper feeling of being highly emotional ... these feelings, as well as mood swings, will be large and extremely active ... it can make one very loyal and devoted to ones family in addition to anyone else with whom one personally identifies with ... it bestows a good, grounded sense of reality leaving one with a secure confidence in themselves ... it makes one ready to give outwardly towards other in a nurturing manner ... one must be careful not to keep up emotional barriers against fresh, new experiences by surrounding oneself to heavily with the past ...

The lesson of Jupiter in Cancer is learning to promote growth - both personally and for others - through nurturing ... we must learn to help others develop positively which in turn does the same thing for us ... and while there is certainly a desire to be generous towards others, one must guard against being overly generous and extravagant as this can cause others to either want to move away from you or end up causing them to walk all over and use you ... it is said that the ultimate truth here is that we all come from the same root - in other words, the "family of Man" is really one very large family tree ... over the next year many of us may evolve to the understanding that everything living is related and needs equal care and consideration ... this elevated placement of Jupiter is what truly produces the "milk of human kindness" ... the energy of Jupiter in Cancer can be expressed in the following ways :

POSITIVE: hospitable, caring, protective, charitable, sympathetic, very receptive, friendly, loyal to family, patriotic, feeling abundant, exuberant, good-natured, kind, sharing, generous

NEGATIVE: overly accommodating, tendency to spoil, indulging, touchy, gushing, biased, prejudiced, overly sentimental, affected, too kind, self-effacing

Cancer born, you are now in a 12 month period yielding extra chances for growth, opportunity, expansion - be careful it's not all in the waistline - and at times out right luck ... Keep you eyes and ears open and most certainly your hearts open and receptive !!! ... Jupiter remains in Cancer until July 16th, 2014 ... even though this can be a very positive and rewarding time for Cancer born, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces may also additionally benefit ... but everyone has the opportunity to benefit from this loving, healing energy bestowed by the Universe !!!

Now with all the aforementioned being said, please be aware this is not the only energy in place which I'm sure goes without saying for most ... in fact the Mercury retrograde which begins tomorrow in Cancer as well will certainly produce added impact to this transit for the next 24 days ... there is always multiple energy in action around us as the Universe continues to grow and expand which is exactly what we should be doing as frequently as possible ... Sometimes we feel unduly challenged and other times we feel truly blessed and supported - that's what this process we call living is all about ... it's how we are molded by the Universe in order to develop personally and spiritually ...

With Jupiter in Cancer, while we are feeling the need to care for everyone else, we MUST remember to be as kind, considerate and take good care of ourselves as well !!!
