The Rainbow Affirms the Protection of Jupiter

Hello and Welcome to my weekly Star Cast, where I bring you the update on what’s happening in the world of astrology and how you can apply the wisdom to enrich your life here on earth.

My key words for this week are: Awareness and Motivation

The Sun is now well into the mutable air sign of Gemini – and I can imagine that everyone is correspondingly busy. Gemini is noted as a sign of communication, so, if you have something important to say, this is an optimum time so do so.

The one thing you want to know about this week is that ** Hooray ** Jupiter stations direct on Friday, June 9th, the same day as the Sagittarius full moon.

Because Jupiter is the ruling planet of Sagittarius, this full moon comes with a cosmic exclamation point.

Jupiter has been retrograde since February 6th of this year. Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion, and Jupiter is retrograde is a clean-up time period – a time to gain stability and prepare for your next phase of growth.

Jupiter retrograde often leaves you feeling a bit lethargic. So, this week’s Sagittarius full moon holds the promise of getting you motivated and re-energized.

Also, note that the moon opposes both Venus and Mercury this week. In astrology, the opposition is an aspect that allows you to stand back and evaluate – to see clearly, and gain an awareness of what you’re really seeing.

And, on Tuesday, June 6th, we have two planets changing signs! Venus leaves Aries and enters Taurus, and Mercury leaves Taurus, entering Gemini.

Venus is empowered in Taurus, the sign of her Rulership. You can further enhance her joy by making time to get out in nature. After all, Mother Earth offers the finest array of beauty; shopping is good, but you can also receive the blessing of Venus in the fragrance of a flower.

2018 –  A New Dawn

Venus continues to shine in her Lucifer stage as a Morning Star until late in 2017. As the year wanes, so does the Light of Venus, and by the end of the year she will be engulfed in the flames of the Sun. On November 13, 2017, as Venus slowly moves ever closer to the Sun, she enjoys a conjunction dance with Jupiter.

On January 9th, 2018, Venus merges into a Superior Conjunction with the Sun, after which she emerges, like the goddess Inanna, as a brilliant  Evening Star.

January 9/10 delivers a triple conjunction of the Sun, Venus, and Pluto! In alignment with the New Year, this transformational conjunction delivers hope and promises change.

Meanwhile, Back to NOW

Everything going on this week cultivates my key word of: Awareness. Use your senses to ‘feel’ what is happening, to discern what is real. Pay attention to messages you hear, even casual comments that may be speaking something you need to hear.

Remember, this week is for Awareness leading to Motivation.

Tune in, get clear, and get going. Remember to get out and enjoy the Sagittarius full moon on Friday. It will actually look the largest on Thursday night because the peak cycle is actually during the day on Friday.

Wishing you many blessings as you reach for the stars!
