Jupiter In Cancer in The Fourth House

A sample from my text book for the online course I'm teaching with Aliza from Moonplutoastrology.com entitled "Jupiter And Saturn: Gifts From Santa And The Grim Reaper," which starts Monday:

Jupiter in Cancer in the Fourth House -- Marcel Proust

French Author Marcel Proust is best known for his seven volume novel known under the collective title of “Remembrance Of Things Past,” which is remembered as both a profoundly deep recollection of a childhood in France… and as incredibly long-winded at times. He always wrote in bed… and in his first novel, “Swann’s Way,” it takes over 15,000 words for the protagonist to get out of bed.

my next online course with Aliza from Moonplutoastrology.com that starts August 19th!


The Daily Sky: Venus Enters Libra

Venus walked into the Libra Bar swinging her hips girlishly and making her floral print summer dress sway invitingly to gain the attention of everyone there.

No one looked up from their drinks.

***

She sat down at the middle of the bar by herself and ordered a banana daiquiri. Her eyes scanned the room looking for a potential partner. Still, no one seemed to notice.

"What's wrong?" she asked herself. "Don't people realize that I rule this place? Can't they see how lovely I look today?"

The patrons paid no attention to her, as they carried on focusing on their drinks, as if they were actively avoiding all contact. A surly mood filled the air.

"Surely someone here has to realize that when I am in the place that I rule, affection and fondness and romance will bloom everywhere" she muttered to herself over her drink with the cute little paper umbrella.

She failed to realize that since the last time she visited the Libra Bar,  the place has been taken over by bikers. At one end of the bar sat Jupiter, his gut hanging out from the bottom of his T-shirt, beneath a torn leather jacket. He stared angrily at the other end of the bar, where Pluto sat flicking his switchblade and glowering silently back at Jupiter. From the back of the room, Uranus slowly approached them both, his hand slowly reaching for the pocket with the gun-shaped bulge in it.  Venus did not realize she had walked in to a big ugly T-square that was building up. 

The other patrons of the bar continued to focus on their drinks, determined not to become involved in the brawl that was about to begin. Venus, however, continued to mull over her situation, occasionally pausing to wave half-heartedly at someone, completely oblivious of the mayhem that was about to break out.

Finally she just couldn't take it any more. "I'm here, everyone!" she called out. "Let the good times and openhearted expressions of love and fondness begin!"

The poor girl. She never saw it coming.

Jupiter In The Second House, Saturn In The Fifth: A Case Study


According to the usual interpretation one finds in the textbooks, Jupiter in the Second House means you'll never have to worry about money. These people, we are told, are born with it or have it fall into their laps on a regular basis. Surely, any chart you see with this feature is bound to belong to an heiress, or an Internet tycoon, or something like that.

You would not expect this to be the chart of someone who, say, ended up having to porn just to pay the bills.

Likewise, the conventional astrological wisdom about someone with Saturn in the Fifth House indicates they just won't ever have kids. Case closed. That's a sad thing for many people, but not having kids certainly be a way to save money... which might explain all the extra riches kicking around from that Jupiter in the Second House.

Now: let me introduce you to Nadya Suleman, a.k.a. "Octomom," who has a birth chart that features Jupiter in the Second House and Saturn in the Fifth... and who is being investigated for welfare fraud (and has 14 kids, by the way.)

"I'd be lying if I didn't say generating revenue wasn't a major reason why I did it, but I found the experience was empowering and liberating,"

--Nadya Suleman, June 2012, discussing her motives for doing a porn flick.

"I hate babies, they disgust me... Obviously, I love them — but I absolutely wish I had not had them."

-Nadya Suleman, In Touch Magazine,  July 2011

So does the astrology in this matter completely fail to describe Nadia's situation? Of course not. In fact, the details of her birth chart tell the story pretty clearly. As we can see from the quote above, Nadya does in fact find her 14 children burdensome... which is one possible manifestation of that Saturn, and she did need infertility treatments to have them in the first place. But it's not like she was doomed to not have children.

Also: despite her financial troubles, it's not like it's an everyday occurrence for all of us to have foreign companies tossing big-money offers at us just because of who we are.

As they say, the devil is in the details. As far as the Jupiter and Saturn in your birth chart? The devil.. and some angels... are there to be found too. Let's find them together!

Octomom will be one of the many subjects we will be delving into in my upcoming online course, "Jupiter and Saturn: Gifts From Santa And The Grim Reaper," which I will be presenting with Aliza from Moonplutoastrology.com. Starting on Monday, August 19, we will be teaching a two-week intensive online Facebook course for both beginners and intermediate students, which will delve deeply into the subject of the Solar System's two largest planets.

It's going to be a lot more than just celebrity gossip though. Specifically, we will be looking into YOUR Jupiter and Saturn placements,  how they affect you, and how the Jupiter and Saturn transit cycles predict what promise and peril you will face in your future... and how to prepare for what is to come, and how to understand who you really are.

So if you've ever looked in a book and felt despair at the description of your Jupiter or your Saturn placement, fear not. Astrology, like life itself, is a little more complex than that... yet ultimately it can be relatively easy to grasp the full wonder and mystery of it all.

...Now if only we had had this course available earlier, we could've spared Octomom an awful lot of public embarrassment, and an awful lot of diaper changes...

The Daily Sky: Mercury Enters Leo

Okay: admittedly, Mercury in Leo doesn't have the reputation for being the best place in the Zodiac for logical Mercury to hang out in. When it comes to your thoughts and communications, Mercury in Leo represents a time when impulsiveness and emotionality can tinge everything from simple e-mails to big conversations, and that's not always the wisest approach.

But you know... what the heck? Why not? I'm sure that all your boss really needs is a little more feeling in that e-mail as to why the project is behind schedule, or that your Significant Other will get your point about taking the garbage out if you'd just put a little more feeling into it, or perhaps that credit card company would understand if you were a little more HOLY CRAP LADY GET AWAY FROM SIMBA THAT TRANQUILIZER IS GONNA WEAR OFF ANY MINUTE NOW OH GOD OH JESUS WHAT A TERRIBLE MESS --

...On second though, maybe you should rethink that e-mail before you click "send."

Jupiter And Saturn: Gifts From Santa And The Grim Reaper

Once you've gotten beyond the basics with Sun Sign astrology, one soon discovers the role of the other planets in determining one's personality and destiny. And it doesn't take much longer for the budding student of astrology to hear the whispered name of the dreaded planet Saturn.

Of course, any decent astrologer will tell you all about how the challenges that come with Saturn make you a better person, and how overcoming your obstacles will help you find happiness and your karmic path in life and yadda yadda yadda -- but, hey, wait... if Saturn is really such an awesome growth experience, why are you guys spending so much time padding out your descriptions of it? Am I being sold some sort of cosmic clunker here?

And what about Jupiter? It's the biggest planet in the Zodiac and it's allegedly the bringer of good luck and happiness... so why do we not hear more about it? Why do so many good transits go by unused and unnoticed?

If you want to know what your path to happiness in this life is, and if you want to know what potholes you'll likely encounter on the way, you need to know Jupiter and Saturn... not just in your birth chart, but also how the 12-year Jupiter Cycle and the 29-year Saturn Cycle affect you.

That's why Aliza from Moonplutoastrology.com and I are pleased to present

JUPITER AND SATURN:
GIFTS FROM SANTA AND THE GRIM REAPER

...A two week course (just like our two week Venus and Mars course, which got rave reviews by the way) that not only provides you with a textbook that covers the basics about Jupiter and Saturn by Sign and House placement, but will also give you in-depth conversation and interaction with TWO professional astrologers about YOUR specific Jupiter and Saturn cycles: when the good times and bad times are likely to arrive, and how you can make the best of them both!

JUPITER: Your birth chart's "Happy Place"... where you find your bliss, your philosophy of life, and the key to committed relationships and friendships!

SATURN: The place where struggle and limitations happen... and once you've addressed those, it can be the source of your greatest happiness!

Like our Venus and Mars course, this will be Facebook-based and fully interactive, with both a textbook and lively discussion. The last class was a big hit, and places are already filling up. Attendance is limited, so write us for details today!



Readings at the special Sumer Rate are still available too! CLICK HERE for more details!

The August Astrology Special: Fixed Star Mania!


One of the great things about getting a reading from an astrologer is that there is so much ground to cover, an hour simply doesn't get it all. We can cover the basics, of course... depending on what your basics are: your personality, your future, your relationships, your career... but there's always more.

That's why for the month of August, with all my full readings (at no extra charge) I'll also be providing a separate written report on The Fixed Stars in your birth chart, and how they affect you and make you the unique individual that you are. In fact, they will be the subject of an upcoming online course I'll be teaching... just like the Venus and Mars course that I'm wrapping up now with Aliza from Moonplutoastrology.com.

The online course been a huge hit... so much so that we'll be doing it again in mid-August with Jupiter and Saturn as our subject matter... both in your birth chart and by transit. Get up close and personal with your Saturn Return!

...And as if that weren't reason enough for excitement, next week "Love And Sex In The Stars" returns to blogtalkradio.com!

More on readings HERE. Special Summer Rates still apply!

Write me for information on a reading today, or for information on the upcoming Jupiter and Saturn course!
