This Grand Trine lasts from the Solstice through the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>Around this time Mercury is slowing down in preparation for its retrograde turn so it will be wise to start paying closer attention to things that you say, instructions that you have to read, contracts that must be signed.<\/p>\n<p>Jupiter enters Cancer on June 25th where it will remain for about a year. Jupiter is said to be exalted in Cancer because it is comfortable there.\u00a0 The emotional needs of Cancer are great, and Jupiter can expand to meet those needs.\u00a0 I will be writing more about this in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>[related_posts limit=\u201d5\u2033 image=\u201d50\u2033]<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/astrologicalmusings\/2013\/06\/21\/summer-solstice-and-a-super-full-moon\/13544203_s\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9979\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sun entered Cancer today, marking the Summer Solstice and the beginning of the astrological summer season. \u00a0The Sun has been transiting over Jupiter for the past week which generally brings about a more expansive and optimistic atmosphere. \u00a0With the entry of the Sun into Cancer, it separates from Jupiter and there is some potential [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":537,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[2629,2011,2048],"class_list":["post-9978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-moon","tag-capricorn-full-moon-2013","tag-summer-solstice","tag-supermoon"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
