Jupiter and Venus are going to meet at 25 degrees Cancer.
Speaker A:
The two benefics, exalted Jupiter conjunct Venus one degree away from.
Speaker A:
And why is this important?
Speaker A:
It's going to be 1 degree away from where Mercury will station retrograde on June 29th, Mercury will retrograde at 26.
Speaker A:
6 Degrees Cancer.
Speaker A:
And so Venus and Jupiter are meeting at 25 degrees Cancer.
Speaker A:
And here is where the two Sphinx reveal themselves.
Speaker A:
Like I said, I'm using Jupiter and Venus as the Sphinx right now.
Speaker A:
Venus is the light Sphinx on the card.
Speaker A:
And Venus is beauty, desire, the heart's true longing, genuine relationship.
Speaker A:
The art that lives inside you.
Speaker A:
It's what you love.
Speaker A:
But in Jupiter is dark Sphinx.
Speaker A:
And Jupiter is about expansion, abundance.
Speaker A:
But Jupiter is also about excess.
Speaker A:
The shadow of too many options, the shadow of too much celebration.
Speaker A:
The distraction of too many possibilities.
Speaker A:
Yeah, Jupiter is what you think you want.
Speaker A:
Both Sphinxes are standing at the same degree.
Speaker A:
25 Degrees.
Speaker A:
25 Is intelligence and progeny.
Speaker A:
And I and reducing 25 down to 7 using the Kabbalah number 7 is about rest.
Speaker A:
The charioteer, the magician Mercury will have both frames in his hand at this moment.
Speaker A:
The question is whether the mind is present enough to feel the difference between them.
Speaker A:
On one hand, this is the ideal time though.
Speaker A:
Put on your dancing shoes and hit the club.
Speaker A:
But on the other hand, you will be well advised to resist the urge to be distracted because you may have too many options.
Speaker A:
Now is the time to follow your heart's desire.
Speaker A:
This could be a person, a vocation or an artistic hobby.
Speaker A:
Hit the casino, buy your lottery ticket, whatever.
Speaker A:
Don't hesitate.
Speaker A:
It is the right time to take a chance.
Speaker A:
Maybe contact someone you've been interested in.
Speaker A:
The two benefics meeting at the degree of the gifted mind coming to stillness one degree before the retrograde station point, loading everything with goodness before Mercury turns around and asks, did you actually receive it?
Speaker A:
This conjunction is is Jupiter and Venus saying this is.
Speaker A:
This is what is at stake.
Speaker A:
The celebration is real.
Speaker A:
The abundance is real.
Speaker A:
The question Mercury retrograde will spend weeks asking is whether you are present enough to receive it, or are you distracted by too many distract options.
Speaker A:
But the.
Speaker A:
But the three of cups in reverse is the warning.
Speaker A:
Too much pleasure seeking.
Speaker A:
Rejoice prematurely.
Speaker A:
Hey, you're trying to cash that check too soon before it even got to the mailbox.
Speaker A:
Dormant talents not being utilized, the card warns the seeker could be spending more time on play than work.
Speaker A:
The celebration can be an escape.
Speaker A:
So around the 7th, between the 7th and the 16th, you should be asking yourself Are you celebrating what you have built or are you using celebration to avoid finishing what you started?
Speaker A:
What sphinx are you feeding right now?
Speaker A:
Are you feeding Venus or are you feeding Jupiter?
Speaker A:
Are you feeding love or are you feeding excess ladies?
Speaker B:
You know, Paul, there's something we didn't talk about when it comes to cancer.
Speaker B:
And honestly, cancer is also about the environment.
Speaker B:
Right?
Speaker A:
Right.
Speaker B:
And Jupiter and Venus are great planets but sometimes if you have rose colored glasses on your environment, you don't know if it's actually good for you.
Speaker B:
And I really think that maybe this is a time to dissect your environment.
Speaker B:
Is what you do on a day to day basis actually good for you within your environment?
Speaker A:
I like that.
Speaker C:
I agree.
Speaker C:
Because I know some cancer placements right now just to take it in a different perspective.
Speaker C:
That is they live and go by the partying and sometimes you think that it's productive to your visibility into your growth when too much can be distracting you from the go and putting in work.
Speaker C:
Now when he said the two of cups and the three cups, that explained everything to me.
Speaker C:
The two of cups explained the 70 days.
Speaker C:
Are you gonna be able to focus even if it's not a person with the two of Cups, it's just being balanced within yourself, respecting yourself, integrity, you know, every piece, understanding what peace is or and some people will survive it says so you go to the two of Cups solidifying partnerships, good partnerships, good friendships, working on your craft, just seeing with clarity into the three of cups and then you can step out into the community.
Speaker C:
You can actually have great time celebr because you did the work in the two of Cups.
Speaker C:
But some people will fail with both being backwards and you know, not understanding what admit for you versus what not to mean for you.
Speaker C:
Break the partnerships up.
Speaker C:
Not respecting no partnerships that was aligned by the universe with your soul tribe, things of the sort.
Speaker C:
And then you'll step out into other partnerships and they don't be conducive for you.
Speaker C:
They're not benefit show for your path where they think you leading into your path is really gonna probably draw you away to the four Cups.
Speaker C:
And we don't even want to go there,.
Speaker A:
But we're about to.
Speaker B:
Because if you don't want to, it's gonna happen.
Speaker A:
Because on June 16, on June 16, Mercury enters the four cups.
