FULL MOON IN SAG + JUPITER INTO CANCER

Jules Ferrari

What feels meaningful to you? What makes life a meaningful experience for you? All things Jupiter in Cancer - well, opening notes - plus Wednesday's Full Moon in Sagittarius. 

To book in for a chart reading and a deep experience into self-understanding through the lens of astrology, head here. You can follow me on IG over here.

Hi, welcome to another week on Planet Earth. Uh, this is a beautiful week for a number of reasons. So let's just dive straight in. Uh, some of you may have read this book by Michelle de Cressler, or Kessler called Theory and Practice. I think it came out at the beginning of the year. Anyway, that's when I read it and. I've just written the post for this full moon in Sagittarius, which we have on Wednesday afternoon. Uh, and I kind of used that framework to write about that, and partly why that is is because. Yes, we'll have the sun in Gemini where it is now, and we will have the moon in its opposite in Sagittarius, a fire sign for this full moon. And then the ruler of both Mercury for Gemini, Jupiter for Sagittarius will actually be conjunct each other aligned together in the sky in cancer. And this is, you know, I. If you've been into my astrology school or if you've been listening here for a while, something that I speak about a lot in there is the elegance of these astrological movements, and I think it's so beautiful and elegant and telling that on these two days before this full moon, so today, Monday. Mercury moves from Gemini into cancer. And then tomorrow, which also happens to be my birthday, uh, we have Jupiter leaving its year long territory in Gemini and moving into cancer where it will be for the next year. So, you know, if it was a couple of days earlier. This full moon would be a completely different vibe because both rulers, ruling planets would be in Gemini, so it would be very, very Gemini heavy, let's say. But the rulers of each are in a territory that's so completely different to. Air and fire, which is water. This axis of Gemini and Sagittarius is this axis of information into knowledge. It's very intellectual, it's very philosophical. It's concept driven, but it's also a lot to do with lived wisdom, which is the Sagittarian end. You know, to me it's like where has life become? Where have we articulated or curated an idea of what we want our life to be versus the lived wisdom of how it plays out? Um, and that's a part of this full moon, but with both rulers being in water and cancer. Which is Primal Water. It's the first of the water signs. It's primal emotion. It's very much our inner world, uh, our inner felt intuitions. It's a lot more, well, it's nonverbal. You know, Gemini and S could debate and articulate life and create philosophies until the end of time. And this is an incredible, incredibly beautiful, I would say, natural force of of humans. We have been working to understand and make meaning. Of this place since arrival. But here with the rulers in cancer, it's nonverbal. This isn't information that comes from the mental plane. This is felt and it's personal and it doesn't always make sense. And so. Part of what we're moving towards, which starts today with Mercury moving into cancer is, and then with Jupiter moving into cancer tomorrow, what is meaningful is felt. An example for me from the weekend I flew to. Melbourne on Friday, and I came back yesterday arvo, and it was really fun. It was for work and play. Uh, and I recorded all of this, um, these little videos with Carly at Akia, who, who was the excellent design company that I work with, absolute legends, uh, and. I love traveling. I love hotels. I love being in new spaces. I'm a ninth house Gemini. I'm a sag flavored Gemini sun. Um, and so being out in the world, being eng engaged, like in new spaces, um. I don't know, being, receiving a whole lot of new visual data, you know, like even just driving down a new street, being in a new territory, there's something very thrilling about that for me and it's, it was also just so funny to recognize. These subtle shifts that have been taking place within me over the last several years, and really what I find most nutritious is being at home and being in my life. My own life that I've built, like my own visual expression of that my home, uh, with my child, like the most meaning comes from that and the work that I do. And I'm so, I feel so incredibly grateful that I have my work because it does bring me so much meaning. Uh, and is just a constant anchor. You know, that, that, that drive and that purpose, the purpose is everything. If I didn't have that, heck, that would be so intense, but they're, they're the realms that bring me the most meaning, and it was just so funny to be engaged in something that would usually bring, make me feel alive. But yeah, it, it. Actually just made me long for what is most meaningful to me now, or made me see and understand more of what is meaningful for me now, which is home and family. And a big part of what I'm working towards for the rest of this year is, uh, establishing. More of what home is changing it and moving back to where my home is and even where my, a large part of my ancestral lineage comes from in this particular area of Australia. Um, and yeah, it's just, it's so, and I'm giving this as an example because my identity or what I perceived my identity to be. For such a long time was adventurer like out in the world, eating it, you know, and, and this stage of life that I'm at right now, it is a lot more domestic. And, you know, I live in the patriarchy and there is a, a part of me that almost in the past felt shame. Would have felt shame that what I desire. So much of it lives at home and I, you know, I still have my ambitions, but they're mine. I don't know. I, I can't, I can't articulate it just yet, but it's lot more simplified than the life I would've designed for myself several years ago. I, I have such a deeper felt sense of what is meaningful for me personally now and for my family, for my child than, uh, in the past it would've been the idea of it, or, yeah, it would've been an idea of what I thought that was, and this is the territory that we're moving into for the next year with. Jupiter in cancer, and it's not to say that everybody is going to become a homebody, um, but what is meaningful for you personally? Again, what is meaningful is felt. It's more of this felt experience. It's this inner knowing, or in this cla sentient way, what I call emotional knowings. You know, you have this sort of wave of a feeling and encoded within that is a lot of information, but it's not cerebral. Uh, it's a more ephemeral, it's outside of language you just know. Or you can sense or you can feel what the direction is. So we've had a whole year of beautiful Jupiter, this teacher, this expander of what is possible of vision. Moving throughout this realm of high openness and concept and mind and thought and perception, and our capacity to create reality based off of the perceptions that we are articulating for ourselves. All of which is Gemini Jupiter, the experiential wisdom, the experiential teacher has sweeped through this territory. It went over my son three times. Uh, is that true? Yeah. I'm wondering if it went more than that. I think three times. Uh, and that was, they were great. Um, really great existential, little mini existential. Periods for me, I think in the first one is when I started this podcast in Virgo season last year, I had all these other avenues that I thought I wanted to express myself. You know, writing and communication as big for me and the way that I was doing it, I realized, felt cheap, like I didn't want to do that. And so I stopped that and started this having this direct communication that was, I don't know, it just, it feel, felt a lot, feels a lot more like me in terms of as an avenue for my work. Uh, but yeah, it really allowed me to go, okay, well. Because it was a going over my son, which is what is, it's my relationship to my vitality. What is making me feel alive and what isn't? What's making my life feel meaningful and what isn't? So this process for me, and for any of you who have a Gemini Sun or mercury or moon, you'll have likely had a similar experience where. Things were really under the spotlight in terms of me putting my energy there. Does that still feel meaningful or not? And for a lot of us, Jupiter moving through Gemini was okay. Take that idea that you have all that concept and go and have a lived experience with it, and then what is the data that comes from that? What is your read on that? After you've lived that thing, does it still hold the same charge to you? Is it somewhere where you want to put your life force or has that shifted and now as it moves into cancer, and then in the following day, we have this full moon in Sagittarius. It feels like a culmination point of the last year. What has shifted for you over that time period? And I have, um, some little prompts that you'll see in my full moon post, um, which you might wanna do or you may scoff at and you may not want to do either is fine by me. Uh, what else do I want to say? Yeah, I think. There's something that's percolating that I can feel. And yes, it's something that's percolating within my own life, uh, but it's also something that I can feel on a larger scale. And that is the simpl simplification of what is meaningful, what what equals. For you a meaningful life, what does that look and feel like to you? Because we are being, uh, I, uh, the word that comes to me is dominated, but that's pretty strong. Um, I'm gonna say it. We are being dominated. By ideas and visual representations of what equals a meaningful life, what and what equals a successful life. And now as this, now as Jupiter, this ruler of meaning and seeking meaning moves into the most primal felt. Uh, private, um, home in a home, outer home sign territory, there is a simplification process that's taking place, and it's your felt intuitive abilities guiding more of what is meaningful for you versus. Your ability to tell a grand story of what your life was, uh, or, I don't know. It's like, it's like there's a meaning. What is meaningful is coming home to all of us, and again, I don't mean home body, but might be that for a lot of us. I mean, what simply makes your life most meaningful? And for a lot of us that is going to be family, you know, both of origin and curation. Uh, and again, these in a very to way where Venus currently is, these beautiful daily rituals that we have, our articulation of daily living as. Art, which it is. And we all have, well, not all of us, but a lot of us have the beautiful capacity and privilege to live a daily life that feels like ours. That feels like our own articulation, our own expression of that. Yeah, I think that's all I have to say. I hope you have a beautiful week and yeah, I'll see you next week.
