Welcome to the Whispering Soul. Today we're going to talk about Jupiter conjunct Venus and Cancer, coming home to what matters. Hi, my name is Nancy Vellante, and I'm an astrologer and certified wellness coach. I'm recording this on June 9th, the day that Jupiter is exactly conjunct with Venus and Cancer at 25 degrees. I'll be putting out the podcast on Wednesday. And we'll be feeling this conjunction for a few days, probably until the 12th. A little bit, you know, we've been feeling it a little bit before, a little bit after we will. So let's begin. Today we are entering a raw and beautiful alignment as Jupiter and Venus meet in the sign of cancer. Water. Cardinal. The motivation to keep moving through rough waters, through calm waters, through nurturing, through understanding, through becoming private within yourself. Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, expansion, truth, justice, and abundance joins Venus, the divine feminine within each of us. The part that seeks beauty, self-worth, love, the sacred balance of giving and receiving. Together they meet in cancer. How beautiful is that! Very sweet, very benefic. But also with any aspect, we have to enter with consciousness because it's just a piece of the pie. So it's guiding us to maybe integrate, maybe release, maybe become aware, maybe move. So it's about being aware within yourself. Cancer, that core essence of that inner being, of feeling safe, knowing where home is, where you need to retreat. Cancer, the mother archetype, the keeper of memory, the protector of the home. Home is not only a physical place, but also a feeling within the body, within the heart, and within the soul. That is cancer. Cancer reminds us of our connection to lineage, ancestors, and the emotional currents that shape our lives, like the ocean tide meeting with the shore. Cancer carries us into the waters of intuition, memory, and the primordial wisdom of the womb, both literal and symbolic. As Jupiter and Venus unite in these sacred waters, they stimulate our emotional intelligence. So beautiful. They create an opening where we can soften enough to discover where more love is needed. And that's not always easy because sometimes we feel we don't deserve that love, but we all do. Where greater understanding is possible and where our wisdom can be shared in ways that nourish growth both inwardly and outwardly. This conjunction teaches us that expansion does not always arrive through accumulation or overindulgence, right? Sometimes growth comes through gentleness.

Sometimes abundance is found in presence.

Sometimes wisdom is discovered by returning to the body and listening to what it already knows, Jupiter. Cancer invites us into the waters of self-care, not as an escape from life, but as a return to it, a return to the rhythms that sustain us, a return to the intelligence of feeling, a return to a deeper level of consciousness where meaning and value emerge naturally from the creative process alive within each of us. Cancer to me is the creative process, the foundation, where we begin, where we end, the middle, all of the journey through that process. Here, softening becomes strength. The expansion reveals truth. Sometimes it feels good, sometimes it doesn't, but this transit is guiding us and supporting us in whatever that truth is in order to transform to a greater receiving and giving of self-worth and love. And the container, the shell of the crab, cancer, holds the energy, the resilience, and the motivation needed to protect what truly matters. It's okay to figure out what truly matters. There is wisdom in having boundaries. Cancer has boundaries by going into the shell, by going back to the home. Then when cancer and that archetype feel safe, she comes out of the shell to explore. I love that. It's one of my favorites. There is wisdom in knowing what nourishes us, both at what we eat, what we integrate emotionally, what we release emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. There is wisdom in creating a life that can sustain the tide of time. The in, the out, the movement, the coming forth, the going away.

This alignment asks us to honor the simplest truths.

SPEAKER_01 7:15

The truths, the truths that continually guide us back home, back to comfort, back to being nurtured by the consciousness of our own soul. Our own soul. There's where the beauty is. There's where the beginning of receiving and giving is activated. It reminds us that authenticity is not something we achieve. I've always thought that. I'm going to achieve this, I'm going to achieve that. I think we've all thought that at certain times in our life. But what if it's something we embody? That's what I've learned. Sometimes it doesn't feel good because we have to release tension, we have to release emotion, we have to gather what it is that makes us feel good. But that is sustaining the tide of time.

SPEAKER_00 8:23

Think about that one.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

On a very organic level or plane. I think that's very powerful. And I think that's what makes cancer so powerful, the archetype, the embodiment. Cancer, the house that cancer rules, the moon rules cancer, sits at the bottom of the chart. The fourth house is where our foundation is being built and rebuilt through lineage, through ancestry, through karma, even if you want to go there. The sacred waters of Cancer integrate the expansiveness of wisdom that Jupiter holds, and Venus holds the self-worth, beauty, and loving presence of what this aspect, this transit, is guiding us to feel, become, understand. Maybe not right now, but it's giving us the food for thought and feeling. Together they remind us that true abundance begins within. Not how much you make, not how much you have, but within. As this energy moves through us, may we use it wisely. May we use it gently. May we allow it to bring beauty to our inner world and to the relationships we cherish. May we cultivate togetherness while honoring solitude. May we create homes within ourselves and around ourselves that nourish what is real, what is meaningful and enduring. And may this conjunction remind us that the journey home is not a place we arrive at.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

It's something we remember.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

That brings tears to my eyes. Memory, rememory. Rememory. Ha, that's a new word.

SPEAKER_00 10:57

Remembering is something that is sacred. Because if we can remember, we can forget.

SPEAKER_01 11:12

So what's the balance? I feel that's part of what this transit is asking us. How do we remember what we have forgotten within ourselves, our soul self? So this podcast today was like a blessing, a prayer, an invocation to yourself, to the sacredness within. And that's how I'm feeling this aspect, this transit today. You know, I'm not looking for, oh, I'm gonna be lucky today, or I'm gonna, I'm gonna find my true love. And you know what? That's okay if you think that. But I'm coming from a place that really is honoring the essence of your soul to experience whatever comes up so there's not disappointment in the trendiness that can happen sometimes through astrology. I feel that too. So just being real, being centered, finding the moment of solitude today, and then practicing it. One loving choice, one honest feeling, and one sacred moment at a time is all we have. Let's cherish it, nourish it, and find the love. Thank you so much for spending time with me today. Have a great day or evening wherever you are in the world, and I'll talk to you soon. Many blessings.
