Jupiter in Cancer

It's time to expand and enhance the emotional aspects of your life. On the physical level, the coming year gives you the opportunity to improve your ability to nurture and be nurtured. On the spiritual level, you can nourish your spirit to feel fulfilled.

Optimistic Jupiter travels through each zodiac sign for about one year, and the god of thunder makes his 12-year journey through the feeling oriented sign of Cancer from June 25, 2013 until July 2014.

Think back to your life from July 2001-July 2002, the previous time Jupiter was in Cancer. You can often get a hint about what is coming by looking at changes 12 years ago.

Jupiter tells you that it is time to take a risk on yourself, to go beyond limiting beliefs. He is the "Santa Claus" of the planets in that he will share his abundant generosity with you if you are willing to take a risk on yourself.

You must be willing to take a leap of faith on manifesting your dreams and desires. The sign Cancer is associated with home and family, residential real estate and food. Perhaps it is time to remodel the kitchen, or buy or sell residential real estate.

Cancer also supports a family reunion or connecting with people from your past. However, it is also the sign of improving your diet, since it is associated with nutrition.

In the body, Cancer watches over stomach and breasts. The recent preventative surgery by Angelina Jolie served to lead the way into this changing energy. The sign Cancer is associated with the disease cancer in general, so you can expect both good news and challenges associated with this disease.

On a personal level, Jupiter in Cancer for the coming year has you adjusting your life to be better nurtured. Consider your activities to bring more joy and nurturing activities and people into your life. This can also bring the need to have better boundaries with those who take your energy inappropriately. If you have natal planets in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, you will find this shift to be especially helpful.

Spiritually, it is the energy associated with the phrase "teach them to fish, don't just give them a fish." You would be well served to help people in your life to draw their own support from the One Source of all that is, not just drawing from others.

Overall, Jupiter in Cancer helps bring in the feminine vibration. It helps you shift your philosophy and emotions so that you get more of what you need in a way that nourishes your body and spirit.
