Jupiter in Cancer: Aquarius

With Jupiter moving into Cancer on July 13, 2001 we can all expect our luck to change in various ways depending on where this lucky planet is within your individual birth chart. It will stay there until it goes into Leo on August 1, 2002.

Jupiter is THE planet of opportunity, abundance and luck; but it is also attributed to excess, over-confidence and weight gain. The least a person can expect under the influence of this planet is an increase in optimism wherever it is found in the birth chart.

Keywords that can be associated with Jupiter include: foreign matters; long distance travel; educational concerns; legal affairs; horses; large animals; religion; publishers and publishing. Sometimes when this planet is activated, a person involved in the above areas may actually enter your life rather than being directly affected yourself through these matters. For example, a teacher or lawyer may become significant in the areas of life accented within your own birth chart.

While we have a look at how you can benefit from Jupiter's travel through Cancer try to keep in mind the themes mentioned above. Here it goes!

The year Jupiter spent in Gemini accented the part of your chart relating to love, children and creativity. So if we apply the symbolism that Jupiter gives us to these areas of your life you would have found that there was 'expansion' or 'growth' and more activity than usual.

For example feelings of love and being special may have been more prominent than usual in your life, you may have had a child of your own, or perhaps a loved one made you very happy during that time. If you have any creative tendencies then that period of time could have been particularly fruitful, or you may have started a hobby that you enjoy.

As far as I have seen, there isn't much of a downside to Jupiter's travel through Gemini for Aquarians (depending on the individual birth chart). In fact, this time could have been a particularly happy one that was good for your health and relationships in general.

When Jupiter moved into Cancer in mid July 2001, there was a planetary shift in focus towards health, daily routine, work habits and situations involving a pet. A new work colleague may help you to enjoy your work or improve your working conditions in some way.

The pace of your everyday life (whether you are in paid employment, study, or put your efforts into running a busy household) looks as though it will well and truly be more hectic than usual. Alternatively, you could find yourself feeling more restless than usual - as if you are searching for something more meaningful to do on a daily basis.
