For the last year or so, Jupiter has been in the sign of Gemini.
Jupiter rules Sagittarius, the sign of big ideas, and was not so amused to be in the opposite sign of Gemini. Gemini is always changing his mind and bringing more facts to light for review.
Very annoying to Jupiter.
Since Jupiter spends about a year in any sign, it has a 12 year cycle, like the Chinese zodiac. If your age is a multiple of 12, you will be having a Jupiter return in addition to your usual birthday.
Jupiter expands whatever it touches. In whichever house Cancer lies, you can expect expansion and perhaps a bit of good fortune. Thank you, Jupiter.
Jupiter will be in Cancer from June of 2013 to July of 2014.
Jessica Adams wrote a nice post on the story of Jupiter (and several other planets) in Cancer for this summer of 2013.
The video below is from Tom Jacobs giving an overview of Jupiter in Cancer. Tom goes very deeply into the astrology of any transit, and that’s why I’ve included it here. It’s definitely worth a watch.
