This Week in the Stars (5.5.25 - 5.11.25)

Slow expansion, money bowls, and healing words 🍯

If the opportunity of a lifetime fell in your lap, would you be ready? If you were handed the keys to your dream and it exponentially expanded your life, would you be ready for the growth spurt? Have you tended to your garden in a way that allows for growth or is it less scary to stay in the same size container? I've been deeply pondering these questions as we prepare for Jupiter to move into Cancer next month (June 9th to be exact).

Jupiter is the hype-girl of the skies, our big gassy Daddy who despite being related with abundance, good fortune and opportunity, when actually transiting something in our charts this presence can feel unavoidably overwhelming. Jupiter also relates to laws, rules and regulations we abide by connecting to the justice system, ethics, high education, faith, religion and spirituality. Jupiter transits a sign for about a year and we are about to see him leave behind reality (and rule) bending Gemini and move into his exaltation in Cancer. This is a big deal for a few reasons:

1. Remember how from end of 2024 until just very recently it felt extraordinarily difficult to move ANYTHING forward? Remember how it felt like running uphill in mud? Yeah, well that was the role of a very extended stay of Mars in Cancer (thank god that retrograde is FINALLY over). So, that part of your chart is going to see some major growth or opportunity or perhaps even some sort of gift when Jupiter arrives there - IF you are doing the work required to receive those Jupiterian offerings. Just imagine you are given a shot at your dream, but did you practice enough to seize the opportunity without fear? Or will you let this pass you by? Jupiter in Cancer will behave as a bit of a clean up crew this June, for the mess Mars retrograde in Cancer may have created in your life in the last few months. The areas where Mars had you feeling crabby, stuck, or like you were walking sideways through quicksand? Jupiter's about to turn those struggle points into stepping stones.

2. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer - which basically means the planet is like a VIP guest being invited to stay at a palace where everything is set up EXACTLY how they like it. When a planet is exalted, it operates at its highest potential, like it's in its best outfit, best angle and best lighting. Jupiter gets to fully express its generous, expansive, optimistic nature without fighting against the sign's energy. While Jupiter has felt v scattered and overloaded with information in Gemini, in Cancer it shows up with all the right snacks, a perfect playlist, and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable opening up.

3. We're shifting from Jupiter in information-overload Gemini to Jupiter in emotional, intuitive Cancer. This isn't just about feeling ALL the feels - it's about trusting your gut for real. For the past year, we've been drowning in facts, hot takes, and opinions. Now we get to remember what it feels like to KNOW something in our bones. Your intuition is about to get LOUD.

4. Where Jupiter in Gemini expanded our minds (sometimes to the point of mental indigestion), Jupiter in Cancer expands our capacity for care, nurture, and emotional connection. This transit asks: How can we create security not just for ourselves but for our chosen families? How do we build structures that actually support vulnerable people?

So again, I ask: If opportunity knocked RIGHT NOW, are you prepared to answer? Because bestie, Jupiter in Cancer might just hand you the keys. The question is - have you been preparing your garden to receive this rain? 🌱✨🦀

As we look at this week's transits, they're def priming us for Jupiter's arrival next month. Mercury connecting with Jupiter on Monday? Start speaking your big visions into existence NOW.

Venus and Pluto's power play, plus Mercury meeting Chiron? This is about tapping into your passion, healing words and transformation. It’s spring cleaning for the psyche, baby!

By Saturday, Mercury enters Taurus, slowing our communication down to a more intentional rhythm. This shift from fire to earth is teaching us how to nurture our words, our ideas, our values - giving us a chance to thoughtfully tend to the garden of our minds.

Use this week to prepare your container for all the growth, opportunities, and abundance Jupiter's bringing. This is prime time to get your garden ready for a bigger container. Pull up your birth chart NOW and see what house Cancer rules for you - that's where Jupiter will be expanding your life from June 9th through June 2026.
