Cancer Children

Jupiter expands whatever he touches.  He usually spends about 13 months in each zodiac sign.  His job is to bring joy, adventure, open-mindedness, advanced education, travel, global perspectives, and a sense that we are all one big happy family and not so very different from each other.  Because of his expansive tendencies, he brings "prosperity" and "abundance" to whatever concept he is focused on.  If things are good, he brings an abundance of good.  If things are bad, he brings an abundance of bad.

As 2012 begins, Jupiter is still in Taurus and your eleventh house until June 11th when he moves into Gemini and your twelfth house.

In Taurus, Jupiter helps to expand Taurus' love of financial security, materialism, comfort, status, self-worth, and "mine".  Taurus rules over assets, wages, salaries, personal wealth, net worth, and one's sense of self-esteem.  Globally, we will see the economy rebounding in a strong and stable manner.  Like Taurus the Bull, we could also see an increase in stubbornness, caution, and conservatism.  After Aries' fiery power, it is natural to then move into a strong but quiet personal power.  Taurus loves good food, good wine, a comfortable sized savings account, and the ability to relax and enjoy the finer things in life without fear of poverty or competition.  Jupiter helps to boost this type of environment.

For Cancer, Jupiter will be in your eleventh house of friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, groups, social activities, networking, connectivity, science (how small parts connect to make the bigger whole and/or how they interact to create a process or system), and the Internet.  Cancer natives make excellent friends and teammates because you approach your social interactions from a serious Taurus perspective.  While Jupiter moves through this area of your chart, your life is blessed with more friends, more social outings, more club memberships, etc.  You could find that careers involving committee meetings, teamwork, networking projects, Internet activities, and/or the sciences (interconnectivity) are also blessed at this time.  When Jupiter is left to do as he pleases from within Taurus in your eleventh house, he will bring good luck, abundance, and joy to this area of your life and could possibly include financial growth as part of his "abundance".  When other planets clash with Jupiter as he travels through here, he will increase the chances for stubbornness, poverty, miserly behavior, or ultra-conservatism within your social circles.

In Gemini, Jupiter brings mixed blessings.  Jupiter and Gemini are opposite sides of the same coin.  Gemini rules local communities, one-on-one communications, daily commutes, elementary school level knowledge, small town thinking, siblings, cousins, and extended family.  Jupiter rules countries, mass media, long-distance travel, universities, global awareness, and foreigners.  Both love freedom, flirting, bonding with others, and having fun.  When left to do as he pleases within Gemini, Jupiter will help everyone to be better communicators.  We will all have a little easier time expanding our horizons while staying close to home.  And we should all be able to get along with our neighbors, relatives, and local community members a bit easier.  Industries involving computers, communications, automobiles, local transportation, community outreach, and/or elementary schools should do better while Jupiter is traveling through Gemini.  When other planets clash with Jupiter during his time in Gemini, he could cause people to become lazy thinkers, more bigoted, and/or scattered and unfocused.

For Cancer, Jupiter will be in your twelfth house of emotions, spirituality, paranormal activities, charities, bureaucracies, mysteries, and secrets.  Jupiter is working to help you maintain a positive, upbeat, adventurous attitude.  Financial activities involving bureaucratic organizations could prove profitable during this time and you could find that you are more interested in spiritual, emotional and psychological well-being, charities, and/or the paranormal while Jupiter is in this area of your chart.  While Jupiter travels through this area of your chart, he will be working to bring you more joy, emotional stability, a "can do" attitude, and a sense of adventure to your life.  When things go badly though, he will increase the gullibility, deception, bureaucracy, self-destruction, and/or depression that can occur in this area of your life.  However, his goal is always to bring joy and good luck whenever the opportunity arises.

Saturn creates our personal challenges and "tough love" learning experiences.  He usually spends about two and a half years in each zodiac sign.  His job is to create learning experiences that are often uncomfortable but ultimately quite meaningful.  Saturn rules over karma, cause and effect, ethics, and our sense of civic duty.  Therefore, it is not only important that we learn our life lessons well, but that we also conduct ourselves with honor and integrity while going through these challenges.  If we stay out of trouble, behave ethically, buckle down, and learn our lessons well, then Saturn rewards us with a gift just before he leaves a zodiac sign.  For example, if Saturn were traveling through the area of our charts that deals with professionalism, leadership, and success, then he would teach us some tough lessons about those concepts.  Then, if we learned lessons about professional reputations, taking on leadership roles, etc, and we behaved ourselves while doing so, Saturn would reward us with a job promotion, professional kudos, public recognition, etc.  We would be better at our jobs, better at leading our companies and communities, and/or we would be better at marketing and advertising ourselves.  If on the other hand, we did not learn any lessons about our professional conduct, leadership style, etc, or we were unethical, blamed others for our problems, cheated, lied, etc then Saturn would simply move on to the next zodiac sign and we would have nothing to show for all the drama and trouble that we had just endured.  Saturn gets a bad reputation because many people think he is simply mean for the heck of it.  When in actuality, he is like a "tough love" parent forcing us to grow up and act like a responsible adult.  Might not be very fun, but the rewards are well worth it.

As 2012 begins, Saturn is still in Libra and your fourth house until October 5th when he moves into Scorpio and your fifth house.

While in Libra, Saturn focuses on our partnerships.  Libra rules over marriage, best friends, business partnerships, and competitors (think yin-yang).  While in this zodiac sign, Saturn forces us all to look at who we choose to partner with, what kind of partnerships we like, and how we behave within our partnerships.  It is not uncommon for marriages to suffer, best friends to "break up", and for business partnerships to dissolve.  Competitors can become vicious, especially if they are pointing out real flaws in our character and not just making stuff up.  Libra rules diplomacy, fairness, justice, and mediation too.  Globally, we could see these topics becoming quite challenging for all countries.  Various government leaders will be challenged to pick carefully which countries they choose to partner with and which they choose to keep as enemies.  They would do well to remember Saturn's focus on karma, integrity, and civic responsibility.

For Cancer, hosting Saturn in the fourth house can be very painful.  Cancer rules the fourth house, so what happens here is taken very personally.  The fourth house is about real estate, housing matters, roommates, parents, childhood issues, retirement planning, and coming home.  You could struggle with keeping a roof over your head, battle over mortgages and rental contracts, fight with a remodeling or landscaping project, deal with annoying roommates, struggle through negative relationships with your parents or spend time battling childhood demons and have a hard time forgiving your parents for their role in whatever happened, and/or you could be trying to create a retirement nest egg and find that it is more challenging than it should be.  If you do suffer marital problems, they will mostly be about your private lifestyle, the house, chores, yard work, etc. the things that make up our idea of "home".  You could also argue about retirement planning or your parents.  Saturn could also challenge you with "home" related topics, but rather than driving a wedge between the two of you, you could be challenged as a joint partnership.  As a couple, what do you do to fix household problems that come up?  As a couple what do you do about each other's aging parents?  As a couple what do you do about retirement planning? These are the types of questions the two of you could be forced to face.

In Scorpio, Saturn finds himself in friendly territory.  Scorpio rules over things like trust, loyalty, and profits.  While Saturn rules over an area of the zodiac that focuses on civic duty, professionalism, success, and leadership.  Saturn rules over karma and Scorpio rules over trust.  Saturn is very comfortable traveling through Scorpio.  While in Scorpio, Saturn will be testing us, teaching us, challenging us, and/or revealing karma owed concerning the topics of trust and sharing, intimacy, fidelity, spousal and child support, joint assets, joint ventures, investments, stocks, commissions, royalties, tips and gratuities, inheritances, loans, lotteries, taxes, and other forms of profit sharing.  Scorpio also rules over hidden agendas, secret motivations, deep psychological issues, and those times when we want to hide away in our secret cave to lick our wounds and heal from some harsh battle, emotional trauma, etc that we have endured.  Scorpio brings us the life-death-rebirth cycles and the Phoenix Rising phenomena.  Those who have been greedy, selfish, and irresponsible with investments, stocks, and other profit sharing activities could find that karma is not so kind to them.  Globally, we might find that it is time to revamp our financial systems and to make things more fair, honest, and equitable.  Scorpio also rules over romantic commitments, fidelity, and the sharing of intimate secrets.  Saturn will expect us all to conduct ourselves more ethically within our love lives and to not be selfish or dishonest with our lovers.

For Cancer, Saturn is now going to focus his "tough love" teaching moments on your personal pleasure, lovers, romance, playtime, hobbies, creative talents, pets, children, sports, leisure, luxury, and happiness sector.  With Scorpio as part of this area of your life, you could find an interest in earning profits in these types of industries.  Saturn would help you to analyze the pros and cons of each "happiness" industry and whether or not you really could earn commissions, royalties, investment income, profits, etc in that manner.  Everyone wants to enjoy the work they do and feel as if they are being paid to do whatever they love best.  Musicians, athletes, gourmet chefs, painters, actors, etc fall into this area of the zodiac.  On good days, Saturn helps you figure out how to make these kinds of careers and investments work for you.  On bad days, Saturn convinces you that it is all a fantasy and that you should not risk it.  Your challenge could be to make your dream job into a reality or your challenge could be to give yourself permission to have any fun at all.  You could also find the lessons are about your love life, pets, children, and others that you love deeply.  Maybe your loved ones are creating dramas, testing your ability to give them unconditional love, and/or you are struggling to be able to create these types of relationships in your life.  Maybe you cannot find a lover, or you and a spouse cannot conceive children, or you are having terrible luck with finding a suitable pet, etc.  Regardless, Saturn is challenging your "happiness".

Uranus is the eccentric genius, rebellious teenager, and social networking guru of the zodiac.  He usually spends about 7 years in each zodiac sign.  He rules over friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science, interconnectivity, electricity, and the Internet.  He can bring teamwork, friendships, networking, and a sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves into our lives.  He can also bring stubbornness, eccentricity, rebellion, and perversity.  This is because at his core, he is trying to convince us to be our unique individual selves but also to be a great team player.  Thus, like a teenager, he is trying to find himself while being very susceptible to peer pressure.  Those who master Uranus' teachings often make charming and charismatic leaders.  Uranus also encourages us to think outside the box and brings a certain eclectic brilliance into our lives.  Like the eccentric genius and the rebellious teenager, he brings pleasant surprises and unexpected chaos.  Uranus promotes humanitarian ideals like brotherhood, "all for one and one for all", and "united we stand, divided we fall."  He is not asking us to be sheeple following the crowd mentality with blind faith.  He is asking us to know our unique gifts and to be strong enough in our self-knowledge to be able to work well in a team and to be able to socialize without losing our sense of individuality.

As 2012 begins, Uranus is still in Aries and your tenth house where he will stay for the next few years.

There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003.  While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed.  Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet.  Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.  

From 2003 until 2010, Uranus was in Pisces.  Here he was somewhat subdued.  Pisces rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  Things like mental health, secrets, self-destruction, addictions, spiritual mysteries, bureaucracies, and "fogginess" are ruled by Pisces.  Therefore, we now have gambling, porn, and other self-destructive activities available online.  We also have government bureaucracies trying to legislate for or against Net Neutrality and spam.  We have all kinds of spiritual, mental health, self-help, and "positive attitude" information readily available as well.  Is it any wonder that people became addicted to the Internet?  On the other hand, Uranus' time in Pisces helped us to befriend people from all over the world that we otherwise would not have gotten to know.  Global brotherhood became much easier to encompass.  Pisces believes in sacrificing for the greater good and Uranus is a huge fan of humanitarianism.  Together, they brought us websites that work to educate and promote helping those less fortunate in other countries.  Uranus within Pisces helped us show our support to protestors in foreign countries and helped us send money and prayers to earthquake, tsunami, flood, and other disaster victims.  Uranus was "foggy" and stifled within Pisces, but not without his charms and brilliance.

Once Uranus moved into Aries, he began to have some fun.  Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea.  Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one's self, and a brainstorming genius.  Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn.  Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness.  Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy.  It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and "me first!"  Does "me" or "we" prevail?  It seems to me that this is a "we the people" time in history.  Governments, corporations, dictators, and others that would try to control the ignorant masses could find that "we the people" is a stronger and more passionate force to be reckoned with than what is expected.  The peasants might appear to be fat and lazy or uneducated and unorganized, but Uranus within Aries creates a lovely energy for uniting people under a single cause and motivating groups to move in unison.  We will see more of this in the voting booths as well as in the public marches and demonstrations.

For Cancer, Uranus is in your tenth house of professional goals and aspirations, leadership, public reputation, and success.  When other planets clash with Uranus while he is in your tenth house, he will bring you chaos, stubbornness, and plenty of drama.  However, when left alone to do his own thing or when helped by other planets, he will bring teamwork, business networking, innovation, technology, and the Internet into your arsenal of professional tools.  This could be a great time for Internet marketing and serious networking projects.  Joining teams, committees, and professional associations could really help boost your professional image, your networking effectiveness, and/or your ability to achieve your goals.

Neptune tries to bring emotional well-being, spirituality, and a bit of magic to whatever he touches.  Unfortunately, he also has a tendency to bring self-destruction, bureaucracies, and gullibility too.  He usually spends about 14 years in each zodiac sign.  Neptune rules over mental health, attitudes, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  If things are good, he brings compassion and a touch of magic.  If things are bad, he brings delusions and fogginess.

As 2012 begins, Neptune is still in Aquarius and your eighth house until February 3rd when he moves into Pisces and your ninth house.  He will stay in this new location until 2025.

In Aquarius, Neptune has been behaving in sort of a yin-yang energy to Uranus.  Uranus was in Neptune's zodiac sign and Neptune was in Uranus' zodiac sign.  They were each doing their thing, but focusing on the other's topics.  While Uranus was creating brotherhood online, Neptune was trying to make mental health, spirituality, and bureaucracies work for everyone.  One brought teamwork to humanitarian causes; the other brought humanitarian causes to teamwork.  One said, "I am mentally healthy and self-assured so that I can be a great team player."  The other said, "I am a great team player so that I can feel mentally healthy and self-assured."  Is it any wonder that "Yes we can" became the global motto in 2008?  To some, it was a delusional concept full of lollypop dreams and gullible "kool-aid" drinking.  To others, it was the logical and necessary blending of global teamwork and universal compassion.

For Cancer, Neptune has been blessing your eighth house of trust and sharing (sex and money).  Since Neptune rules over fogginess among other things, he tends to have a "now you see it, now you don't" affect on the financial sectors.  All Cancer natives to some extent have been dealing with this over the last few years.  Money flows magically into your life and magically right back out again.  Since Neptune also rules over spirituality, mental health, intuition, and charities, it is not surprising that many Cancer natives have found that by working in these types of industries, they are finally able to create decent profits.  Any job that brings emotional well-being, compassion, love, and caring into your life is going to be financially beneficial at this time.  It is not that you cannot have money; it is that Neptune would rather give you peace of mind and a sense of pride that you took the path of "heart" over the path of "wealth".  Also, because Neptune does work in magical and paranormal ways, you could have found that for the most part, your material needs were always taken care of even if your bank account lacked impressiveness.  Most Cancer natives will not get rich per se, unless they are meant to donate large sums to charity organizations.  Since the eighth house is about sharing and therefore spousal income, you could have found that your spouse was the one who underwent these financial issues rather than you personally.  Also, since this is the area of your chart that governs intimacy, sexual unions, fidelity, and loyalty, you could have found that these areas have had a similar "fogginess" to them.  You might have fallen madly in and out of love with many different people or maybe you felt that "Mr. or Ms Right" was always just beyond your grasp.  The idea of love and romance could be quite appealing, but the practical day-to-day aspects of being in a committed relationship could have felt similar to the bureaucracy and red tape of working in a corporate job... too stifling, too many rules, too much "because this is just the way we do things."  You could have found yourself attracted to self-destructive or gullible partners or they could have seen you as a self-destructive or delusional partner.  Neptune brought both magic and destruction to your trust and sharing (sex and money) sector.

In Pisces, Neptune is literally at home.  Neptune rules over Pisces and the concepts of mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-destruction, dishonesty, gullibility, emotional well-being, inner peace, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, hospitals, prisons, corporations, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes.  Neptune is stronger here than he has been in a very long time.  He will do his best to bring out the loving, compassionate, peaceful, charitable, and magical elements of Pisces.  However, there will be times when other planets are clashing with Neptune and he will instead bring deceit, delusion, and bureaucratic red tape into our lives.

For Cancer, Neptune will be in your ninth house of long-distance travel, languages, cultures, religions, laws, politics, philosophies, universities, mass media, and global awareness.  This is a tricky placement for Neptune.  The ninth house is about facts, absolutes, and differentiating and defining.  Neptune is about intuition, spiritual mysteries, and a vague unexplainable "oneness".  During Neptune's travels through the ninth house, it is easy to pick up new pieces of information, adore them, and then see through them, and drop them as being too shallow and not really "correct."  You can feel as if you are on an endless pursuit for what is real and yet everything keeps coming up as illusions.  It is easy to become disillusioned about politics, religious dogma, academia, etc.  The trick is to be willing to "not know" anything and to just sort of absorb what bits and pieces of "facts" come to you.  Eventually, the data will settle into a pattern that allows you to just sort of "know" or "see" how things fall together in the big picture of life.

Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches.  He has an uneven pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac sign.  His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower us with passion and self-righteousness, or to heal us by forcing us to go through a Phoenix Rising type of experience.  It can be painful to endure Pluto's scrutiny, but it can ultimately prove to be incredibly uplifting.  Personal rebirth is often the result of Pluto's passage through certain areas of the zodiac.  Pluto rules over trust and sharing.  It is often through hidden motivations, hidden assets, hidden agendas, hidden resources, and/or through loyalty and fidelity matters that we find out what we are really made of and we find out what our partners are really made of.  Pluto can reveal gifts, assets, stamina, and psychological resources that we had no idea existed within ourselves.  And Pluto can reveal the selfish, greedy, and emotionally crippling aspects of ourselves too.  All too often, he uses our need for sexual intimacy and financial teamwork (trust and sharing) to teach us these lessons.  The reason that Scorpios are known to be so revengeful is because Scorpio co-rules over the trust and sharing concepts with Pluto.  Breaking trust is the worst thing you can do to a Scorpio.  From Scorpio's perspective, nothing could possibly be more important than the ability to trust others.

As 2012 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your seventh house.  He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.

In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do.  Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers.  Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and "tough love" style life lessons.  Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of "tough love", doing one's civic duty, and ideas like "If I don't take care of this, who will?"  When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc.  Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings.  The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and chose bits and pieces of which ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality.  We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media.  Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such.  Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world.  Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices?  Do we have integrity in our government agencies?  Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries... do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas?  It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc.  Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner.  We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.

For Cancer, Pluto is in your seventh house of marriage, best friends, and business partnerships.  You could find that it becomes a lot easier to commit to these types of relationships.  You have the planet of "trust and sharing" in the house of "just the two of us" in the zodiac sign of "integrity."  This makes it an amazingly strong energy for romantic relationships.  Pluto brings sexual fidelity, passion, and trust into your marriage sector.  It is also a wonderful energy for best friends -- bringing psychological healing, trust, and intuitive understanding into this bond.  Business partnerships are also helped a great deal with Pluto's presence in this sector.  Pluto brings commissions, royalties, and other forms of profit sharing as well as trust and passion to the work the two of you are doing together.  If you are looking for a romantic partner, best friend, or business partner, you might find you are suddenly attracted to Scorpios or people with similar personalities.

There are times during this year when these big slow moving planets clash with each other and create a huge uproar in everyone’s life and there are times when they team up together to accomplish great things in our lives.  More detailed forecasts explaining how these slow moving planets will interact with each other (including how the faster more temperamental planets will affect us) are also available.
