Jupiter in Cancer: Coming Home to the Heart 6/9/25-6/30/26

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, higher wisdom, and soul-aligned opportunities, entered the soft, sacred waters of Cancer on June 9th, 2025—and stays until June 30th, 2026. This is a significant shift in energy from when it was previously in the sign of mutable Gemini from May 25th 2024. Cancer, the cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon, is an initiator. It invites us into the soul’s inner sanctuary, where emotional healing, intuition, family, and our sense of home live. With Jupiter in Cancer, we grow, but we grow inward. And that inner growth then ripples outward in undeniable, tangible ways.

Now, Jupiter doesn’t just show up and sprinkle glitter on your life. It expands whatever it touches—for better or for worse. So, depending on how you’ve been caring for your emotional ecosystem, this transit can bring profound healing… or it can expose the places that are in need of it. But either way, it’s benevolent. It’s trying to move you toward truth, spiritual nourishment, and stability that only comes from the inside out. I suggest that you pull up your personal natal chart. Because the house that is ruled by Cancer is the area of your life where Jupiter will be doing its sacred work. Whether it’s your home, family, career, relationships – including your relationship with yourself; that space is being blessed over the next 12 months with Jupiter’s grace and “karmic ripening”.

As I mentioned above, Jupiter brings blessings yes, but in Cancer it’s not necessarily the result of a loud, boisterous blow-out. More than likely, it may arrive through healing conversations, through the courage to be emotionally honest, or through a newfound capacity to receive love without shrinking. There may be tears, but they’re the good kind—the kind that rinses the soul and soften the walls.

In the tarot, Jupiter is connected to the Wheel of Fortune, and when this Wheel turns in Cancer, it calls for change that begins within and radiates outward in quiet, powerful waves. And yes, fortune favors the brave. Not the loudest or the quickest, but those courageous enough to feel deeply, to soften, to trust their intuition and to open their hearts – even after they’ve been hurt.

Jupiter in Cancer says: you are allowed to be both strong and sensitive.

You are allowed to grow in ways that feel like healing, not chasing a future ideal version of yourself.

Trust the turning of the Wheel, especially in the place where your heart has long waited to be met. This is where the good fortune flows now—not as something you aspire to, but something you know and remember to be true. ❤

Energy Update 1/20/25: Keeping it simple with a “yes or no” pick-a-card tarot reading

Choose card 1 or 2 and scroll down for this week’s tarot message!

The energy this week feels a little “up in the air” and a bit erratic, so I decided to keep it short and sweet by offering a simple, “yes or no” pick-a-card reading. Take a deep breath, concentrate on your question, choose a card and let’s see what guidance the tarot has for you this week!

Are you ready?

Card #1 Yes: The Sun

This card radiates with positivity and is a clear “yes.” Whatever you’re doing this week, you are encouraged to move forward with confidence. An opportunity to step into the spotlight may be on the horizon, so be ready!

I’m getting the impression that some of you have been the “dark horse” in the race for a while—quietly putting in the work while the others underestimated you or were too distracted to notice. Well, won’t they be surprised when you pass them all on the backstretch! LOL! This is your time to shine as you celebrate your accomplishments in the winner’s circle!

Card #2 Not Yet: Seven of Pentacles

The Seven of Pentacles suggests taking a pause before making your next big move. Success depends on letting this develop at its own pace for the moment. Rest assured, progress is happening behind the scenes, even if it’s not immediately visible. As the saying goes, patience is a virtue.

For others of you, this week may bring a reality-check. If something isn’t meeting your expectations or is not producing an equitable time/cost/labor versus benefit ratio, ask yourself what adjustments are required to get things back on track.

Have a great week everyone!

Numerology of 2025: A “9” Year with The Hermit

2025 is a “9” year in numerology which corresponds to The Hermit in the tarot

As we venture into 2025, we’re entering a “9” year in numerology, a time of culmination and transition. The number 9’s vibration signifies the completion of cycles, the integration of hard-earned lessons, and the preparation for a new chapter. Yet, it’s not simply about reaching the end of the story, but understanding the wisdom of our journey before we close the book. The number 9 acts as a bridge, connecting what has been with what is yet to come.

The Hermit tarot card beautifully mirrors the energy of a “9” year, symbolizing introspection, solitude, and the quest for inner truth. The Hermit’s lantern encourages us to be the guiding light in our own lives, as we seek clarity and understanding from within instead of relying on outside validation.

Reflecting back on 2024, many of you may have already felt an inkling of The Hermit’s influence through a sense of disconnection from certain people, places, things or situations. Disillusionment is often part of The Hermit’s experience (and we are seeing this on a macro-level as well), but it ultimately paves the way for eye-opening revelations and a stronger connection to your true self, which can inspire positive change.

Interestingly, in Chinese astrology, 2025 is the year of the Yin Wood Snake, a symbol of renewal, transformation, intelligence, and insight. Snakes have a unique way of undergoing change and growth—before shedding their skin, they go through a phase known as “going blue.” During this time, their eyes are clouded, limiting their vision. To protect themselves, they retreat from the world going into “Hermit mode” until they shed their old skin. Once the process is complete, their eyes are clear, and they emerge fully renewed and ready for what’s ahead.

2025’s vibe carries a similar energy. It’s a year, both collectively and individually, where we shift our priorities and become more intentional about where we invest our time, energy, and resources.

Many of you will choose to invest in yourselves this year—whether through healing, moving, traveling, or furthering your education. These actions are all about creating space and aligning with your higher calling, setting the stage for the limitless potential that 2026 will bring. As a “1” year, represented by The Magician in the tarot, it promises fresh starts, powerful manifestations, and the opportunity to step fully into your creative power.

I am very much looking forward to 2025! This energy is both reflective and profoundly empowering. The “Yin” energy of the Wood Snake aligns nicely with the Nine of Pentacles in the tarot—a card that represents personal achievement, success, self-love, and confidence. Paired with The Hermit, we have an interesting dynamic that mirrors the process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.

The Hermit invites us into a period of introspection and solitude, much like the cocoon phase, where we can reflect on the past and integrate its lessons. The Nine of Pentacles represents our emergence from this time of quiet transformation; the butterfly spreading its wings and reveling in the next phase of growth and renewal.

Happy New Year everyone! ❤

This week 12/02/24: Retrogrades & The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man tarot card from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

This week’s energy feels like trying to row a boat through molasses—slow, sticky, and a bit frustrating. After the new moon in optimistic Sagittarius on Sunday, the waxing moon moves through Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, inspiring us to dream big and chase our ambitions. But with both Mercury and Jupiter in retrograde in opposite signs, plus Mars going retrograde in Leo later in the week, the Universe seems to be saying, “Hold up now, not so fast.” It’s not a stop sign, but more of a yield—which gives us an opportunity to slow down and think things through as we enter the final month of 2024.

Tarot card guidance: The Hanged Man

The tarot card for this week, The Hanged Man, reminds us that when progress feels stalled, it’s an invitation to shift our perspective. Instead of pushing against the tide and trying to force an outcome, take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Whether it’s your career, a personal project, or a relationship, a pause (whether voluntary or involuntary) gives you the space to think on how to approach things with fresh eyes. What might initially seem like a roadblock may be an opportunity for you to revisit a plan, decision, or goal and to assess whether you want to move forward as planned or take a different direction entirely.

As much as you might want to power through this week, if something is just not happening, despite your best efforts, divine timing may be at play. The retrograde energy is here to show you what’s worth your effort and what’s not, as well as how a shift in perspective may be just the thing to get you back on track. Those slow moments? They’re not a waste of time – they’re where the magic happens. Look closely at the halo of light that encircles The Hanged Man’s head. This glow symbolizes his crown chakra, lit up with inspiration, dreams and aspirations, as well as an inner knowing of when the time is right to turn those visions into a plan.

The Hanged Man’s illuminated perspective reminds us that the greatest breakthroughs often come when we stop trying to force things to fit, like hammering a square peg in a round hole, and instead trust the natural flow of life. Sometimes things happen or not happen for a reason. Who knows? This pause you’re experiencing might be the perfect opening that uncovers opportunities you hadn’t imagined before, leading you to something even better than you had planned.

Have a great week!

This eclipse is activating your intuitive senses in a big way! The High Priestess encourages you to pay attention to what is NOT being said, so observe more and speak less during this time. A secret may be revealed or perhaps a deeper understanding unfolds, either by spoken word or your inner knowing, revealing a previously hidden truth regarding a person or situation.

Spirit is guiding you with profound wisdom during this time, pay attention to the signs and synchronicities around you; they are not mere coincidences, but messages from a higher source.

This is a pivotal moment of transformation, as the eclipse reveals a path or option that resonates with your soul. Your mind may be mulling over the decision, but deep down, your heart has already made its choice.

Have a great week! ❤

This week: Venus moves into Libra. Page of Cups.

Page of Cups from the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck

This week’s messages: Venus moves into Libra. Page of Cups.

This week, Venus transitions into the sign of Libra on November 8th and remains there until December 4th. Venus does well here. She has a positive influence on the relationships & agreements in our life. Venus desires harmony, balance, cooperation, & mutual respect in this sign.

On Thursday, the waning (decreasing) moon also moves into the sign of Libra. This has the effect of balancing our emotions, providing a much-needed reprieve from the heavy Mars/Scorpionic planetary energies we have been experiencing lately!

The Page of Cups is the tarot card that came out today. The Page of Cups is a creative, fun energy. He has a whimsical, optimistic attitude. Artsy and intuitive, he pays attention to how he feels about things. Keep it simple. Whatever is happening in your life, what is your heart telling you? As well, the Page of Cups is a messenger, that brings in good news! Lastly, he encourages you to pursue creative outlets that you love. And to be mindful of the little things that bring joy and blessings to your life.

Politeness & random acts of kindness will take you far this week. Simple things such as holding a door for a stranger, giving someone a compliment, or buying a friend or loved one a small gift will have more of an impact than you realize.

If there has been tension with someone lately, this week may provide an opportunity to let bygones be bygones, extend the olive branch and/or have that honest, heartfelt conversation. Venus in Libra & the Page of Cups upright is willing to talk as well as listen. If this is a close relationship, be prepared for a possible deep dive as Mercury, the planet of communication is in the sign of Scorpio until November 10th. If all involved are willing to discuss the heart of the matter, an equitable resolution and maybe even an apology, is possible.

Have a great week! ❤️
