Today Jupiter moves retrograde… Jupiter joins Uranus in retrograde as they continue their sacred dance around one another this summer. Jupiter’s qualities of growth, expansion, wisdom, abundance, luck and possibilities are being internalised to help each of us to explore our full potential and to realise just how much we do have in life. It is all too easy to focus on lack and those things we either don’t or can’t have; yet, in order to truly understand Jupiter, we need to be thankful for those things that we do have, however small or seemingly mean-less.

I have written before that many of us believe that we are afraid of the Dark, and strive to be in the Light. Yet, Uranus shows us that it is more often the case that we are afraid of the Light. Unless we are ready to
