Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and is in the midst of making a harmonious grand water trine (lots of flow) with two other major planets. That sounds like it should be smooth sailing, but there\u2019s some important background energy that could be manifesting as an increase in reactionary tendencies, both on the personal level and on the world stage.

Simplified chart section showing (l-r): Uranus in Aries, the Moon in Taurus, and planets in Cancer: Jupiter, Black Moon Lilith, the Sun, retrograde Mercury and Vesta. Hypothetical point Hades would be at 2+ Cancer. Pluto (not shown) is opposite the Sun. View glyph key here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Currently, the Cancer Sun is in the midst of the Uranus-Pluto square, opposite Pluto and nearly square Uranus. We keep calling Uranus-Pluto ‘revolutionary’ and ‘evolutionary’. <\/p>\n

But as Eric quipped yesterday, lately they seem more ‘reactionary’ than ‘revolutionary’: more emotional, sometimes lacking awareness or forethought, and often carrying a sense of fighting battles that seemed won long ago.<\/p>\n

No one ever said evolution was easy, or that true revolution would be embraced by most people. If you\u2019re feeling a little frustrated by the sense of \u2018two steps forward, one step back\u2019 these days, you\u2019re not alone. The trick is managing to stay more focused on those two steps in the right direction without being complacent about the step backwards. <\/p>\n

Take, for example, a recent email campaign from the Natural Resources Defense Council alerting supporters that Iceland has decided to resume hunting endangered fin whales after a two-year hiatus. The Obama administration had previously imposed diplomatic sanctions on Iceland; now NRDC is saying that Iceland is essentially flipping off the U.S. and that only economic sanctions will get their attention.<\/p>\n

In the midst of this political and economic game of chicken, the real losers are the whales — and the oceans\u2019 ecosystems. We\u2019re being called to react; a response is necessary for the sake of trying to restore some balance to life on Earth. But it can be exhausting to keep revisiting the same issues over and over.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same with our own inner shadow material: it will keep coming back until we\u2019ve figured out how to heal it and grow to a new understanding; ultimatums from others and superficial patch jobs won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

So what is Jupiter amplifying there in Cancer? For one, a hypothetical planet called Hades (one of the eight extra planets from Uranian astrology) is taking a conjunction from Jupiter. This could be magnifying some \u2018dark spots\u2019 — the kinds that are pretty deep down in the psyche. In particular, you may be getting a look at past emotional conditions or influences, which are asking you to address them now. Mercury retrograde in Cancer is emphasizing the point of addressing past influences.<\/p>\n

Jupiter is also within a degree or so of conjoining Black Moon Lilith in Cancer. BML represents an aspect of the shadow feminine that would rather choose exile than accept \u2018inferior\u2019 status in \u2018paradise\u2019\/society. As such, Black Moon Lilith can represent a form of integrity. <\/p>\n

But in a situation where emotions are heightened — especially darker ones — it can take real effort not to get caught up in the whirlpool of a grand water trine and throw the baby out with the bathwater, leaving yourself two steps backwards instead of just one. Right now the Moon is offering some grounding and retrograde Mercury is urging introspection. Use them.<\/p>\n
