Newsletter, July 2025. Some reflections on Jupiter entering Cancer. Jupiter entered Cancer on June 9th, and it will remain there until it enters Leo on June 29th of 2026. In keeping with the planet's benign reputation, its 12-year orbit conveniently gives it about one year in each sign. Traditionally, Jupiter brings luck, and there's some truth in that notion with a few provisos. First, what exactly do we mean by luck?

During a big Jupiter transit, maybe somebody wins a large pile of money. They feel lucky. Everybody calls them lucky. But how happy are they a year later? Did that money actually bring them joy? Well, possibly. Not to rain on Jupiter's parade, but one secret with luck lies in actually knowing what is good for you.

The first obstacle we must overcome in achieving that goal is that everybody already thinks they've already achieved it. We all know luck when we see it, right? I mean, how would you feel if you won that lottery? Are you going to give the money back? Well, put on your wisdom hat, and you wouldn't be reading this newsletter if you didn't have one.

something deep inside you knows that money can bring troubles as well as joy it's just hard for us humans to remember that we get dazzled by glitter sometimes and mistake it for gold. Of course, it's not always about money. There are many other Jupiter glamours in this world, and they're all ready to beguile us. Fame, sex, power. even being widely tutored as a deeply spiritual person. Every one of those things can breed blindness and attachment.

To know what is good for you, to know what will actually bring you joy, in other words, requires mindfulness and self-knowledge. And when it comes to deepening our hold on those two virtues, the conscious use of evolutionary astrology is a fine ally. That's a statement that's meant to be brought. It means embracing an understanding of your whole chart. and thus of your actual overriding purpose in this world. But focusing on Jupiter and knowing that it's now in Cancer...

points us in the direction of the sort of wise wanting that is the true heart of the matter, at least for the time being. As always, Each planet has an essential core meaning, but they only really become alive when we put them in signs. Jupiter in Gemini is a different energy than Jupiter in Cancer, and so on around the zodiac. Signs give specific motivations and values to the planets that occupy them, taking care of the moon.

for one example, is the secret of being happy. But what makes you happy if your moon is in Leo is a very different thing than what makes you happy with the moon in Virgo. It's the same with Jupiter in the signs. So let's balance our desires with some astrological wisdom by placing Jupiter in the evolutionary framework of Cancer, since that's where it will be for the next year or so.

Cancer represents the drive to nurture. It is the great comforter and healer of the zodiac. A kitten or a puppy comes into your life. The beyond rational thrill of happiness that you feel in the presence of that creature, with the kitten or the puppy in your arms, is pure Cancerian radiance. With those words, we can easily discern in Cancer the energetic signature of

Mother Moon, Cancer's ruler. Now, that Cancerian nurturing impulse goes two ways. It's about nurturing yourself as much as it is about nurturing other people. The two paths are interconnected. You can't have one without the other, at least not without losing half the energy. If we are kind to ourselves, we are more likely to be kind to others, and vice versa. For one initial bad example,

Think of someone who smokes cigarettes. I mean, no big deal, but we all know smoking isn't good for you. Now think of that person in the car in front of you as you stop at a red light. The light turns green and that person throws a cigarette. but out the window as they're taken off. Now, they are treating the world.

the same way that they're treating their own body. That's cancer energy, only backwards. What about cancer energy frontwards? Let's start with the notion that if you're forgiving towards yourself, you're more likely... to be forgiving towards others. Loving other people is easier if you love yourself. And by the way, you can turn that idea around and we're back to backwards. If you harbor negative feelings about yourself, how well can you love anyone else?

Attachments certainly can arise, but actual love, it's got to start inside yourself. Going further with Jupiter in Cancer, the path of wisdom begins with, well, there are actually two ways to finish that sentence, and they're both good ones. You can start by being kind to someone else. Or you can start by being kind to yourself. Either way works. Both are necessary. Here's the hitch. If you're short at either end of that equation, the remaining side gets shorted too.

So to keep the two sides of the cancer equation in balance during this coming year. First, be wary of excessive self-indulgence. Be wary of becoming so mired in your own needs and issues that you ignore the pain in other beings. Second, be wary of getting so lost in meeting other people's needs, whether they're real or imagined, that you exhaust yourself and feel like you're always running on empty.

Now, to take good care of yourself, let's start with that. Take time to notice when you're tired. If you're tired, take a nap, even if it's the middle of the day. Eat when you're hungry. Gain a pound and don't worry about it. Ask for a hug. Buy yourself flowers. Watch your favorite movie again. Think of someone you love whom you've not seen for a long time. Reach out to them and reconnect. Relax your self-discipline. Let go of your inner stoic. Stay in bed a little longer.

Rub someone's tight shoulders. Remember birthdays. Remember to hug. Remember to say I love you.

Pat your cat or your dog. They're beings too. Make a charitable contribution. Smile at a stranger. Tip waiters well. And make eye contact when you do. Do the same for someone begging in the... street, everyone knows that expressing kindness like that creates good feelings inside of you.
