Jupiter in Cancer - Home, Comfort and Motherhood

 On June 09, Jupiter the planet of luck and expansion moves from Gemini into Cancer, where he will be for the next 13 months. Jupiter changes signs once a year and brings a sense of ease and optimism to that area of your chart. Think about what was happening 12, 24, and 36 etc. years ago, for clues as to what themes might be repeating for you. What was going on in 2013, 2001 and 1989 in the Cancer part of your birth chart (if you know your personal chart)? If you don't know your chart, that's okay because below I have 5 themes that you can expect for this upcoming Jupiter in Cancer transit. 

Oracle of the Radiant Sun

 

1. A Desire to Nurture and Protect. Cancer is a nurturing and sensitive sign, and Jupiter has a tendency to amplify the energy of the sign it is in. Expect that the next thirteen months are ones where you may feel more sensitive and empathetic to others. There is also the desire to nurture and care for others, especially animals and children, and to protect those who are vulnerable. Expect to see more emphasis on the need to take care of each other, and on humanitarian issues in the news. In our own lives it is important that we take care of ourselves and those around us and to honour our emotions. We may find ourselves feeling more sensitive both emotionally and intuitively.
    
2. A Focus in Family and Motherhood. Cancer has long been associated with mothering and during Jupiter in Cancer, we will see this theme become more prominent. In the news the issues of women's rights and reproductive freedoms, along with childcare and other forms of maternal support will be highlighted. There also will be an idealization of motherhood, fertility and family life. This can be a great time for those looking to grow or start a family.  Jupiter has associations with the law, so legal issues around fertility, motherhood and reproduction are likely to come up.
   
   
3. Home and Comfort. Jupiter in Cancer highlights the home and may see an increase in home building and renovation as people look to retreat and find comfort. Cancer is an introverted water sign, but it is also a cardinal sign, which is about action. Cancer asks us to take action to either make our homes more comfortable, or to seek out one that better suits our needs. There also will be an emphasis on the domestic arts like cooking, baking, sewing, knitting and decorating. It's a good time to pick up a hobby in any of these areas.  
   
   
4. Memories and History. Cancer has strong associations with memories and the past. With Jupiter here, expect to see an emphasis on nostalgia. There may be a temptation to see the "good old days" with rose coloured glasses and to forget about past struggles and difficulties. Jupiter asks us to expand our mind, so it is a great time to do some genealogy and family research. It's also a good time to learn about history and from our elders. Expect to see some historic discoveries and archeological breakthroughs in the coming year.
   
   
5. Imagination and Creativity. Being ruled by the Moon, Cancer is connected to our dreams, the subconscious and our imagination. The next 13 months are a good time to explore your imagination and express it through artistic pursuits like painting, song, photography, and creative writing. Even pursuits like scrap-booking or collage can be a good way to process old feelings and come to terms with the past. Jupiter in Cancer expands our creative ability and encourages us to make art that is more solitary. When he moves into Leo next year, we will then be asked to put that creativity out into the public eye, if we want to. 

Jupiter brings luck and opportunity to the sign he inhabits, in this case, Cancer. Themes around nurturing, self-care, the family, motherhood and the past are all areas that will be positively highlighted over the next 13 months. Think about what changes you might want to make in your family, your home or in your creative life and take action on them, as Jupiter will bring opportunities to these areas.
