Abundance & Gratitude: venus enters cancer and jupiter enters taurus

Jupiter is soon entering Taurus -on May 16th- the sign where Mercury has been retrograding for some time.

We’ve been rethinking, renegotiating, and reviewing the area of our charts that have Taurus on the cusp.

Taurus is a sign that wants stability- that dislikes change. Thus, renegotiating things in this area might feel uncomfortable. And that might also include basic Taurus things: money, land/property, our personal possessions, and the things that bring pleasure to our physical senses.

With Jupiter entering this territory, some help is given: a new perspective, a sense of abundance, grace perhaps.

Simultaneously, Venus just entered Cancer, where Mars has been grumpily trudging along, poking at our innermost sense of security or trying to gain it through a roundabout, indirect way- crab style.

Venus brings connection, peace, and beauty to this area, smoothing over the spikes and prickles that Mars might have brought forth… perhaps igniting a renewed sense of emotional safety to the area of our charts that contain Cancer AND to our home life, emotional life, and family life (Cancer themes).

This all should feel like a relief, especially after the huge upheaval/purge that the recent Scorpio Eclipse brought.

Sometimes we try to feel safe and secure (Taurus and Cancer themes) through clinging onto things and being needy, forever trying to find a sense of abundance outside of ourselves.

Jupiter entering Taurus and Venus entering Cancer reminds us that we are our own anchor points- that gratitude for what already is and what we already have can actually expand the web of contentment.

That enough is already here.
