Welcome back to the Essential Astrocast.

I am your host, Veronica Perretti,
and this is the podcast you listen to

when you want to know what's happening
up in the heavens, so that you can

dictate your fate down here on earth.

Whew.

Okay.

So I am coming to you.

I'm recording on Wednesday, June 4th.

We have a beautiful day today.

I mentioned it last week on the podcast.

I recorded midweek last week, and I'm
recording midweek again this week.

So maybe this is my new.

Schedule, who knows?

my goal is to always get an
episode out to you every week.

I have yet to be able to commit
to a particular day on which

this episode gets out to you.

But just know that once a week, you should
be hearing from me in your podcast feed.

you definitely want to
be on the email list.

You can go to my website, which
is my name, Veronica Peretti.

Dot com and you can sign up
for the email list there.

And you definitely wanna be on the
email list because I send an email

each week when the podcast goes up,

Whenever there's a big astrological
happening, if you want to know

when events are coming up, you
wanna be on the email list.

So I have a Saturn workshop
that I'm super excited to teach.

It is coming up on June 29th.

It is up on my website.

You can go to my website under the events
page and you will see the Saturn workshop.

Also, every other week I host a free Zoom
gathering called Cosmic Conversation.

You can sign up for that there as well.

Going to the events page of my website,
and it's a really sweet group that

comes and we just come and we chat.

Astrology, this week we looked at.

Taylor Swift chart because, you know, you
might've heard the news that she bought

back, the rights to all of her music.

I'm sure you heard about
the news around that.

It feels very.

Venus at the end of Aries kind of vibes.

But we broke that down in cosmic
conversations on Monday and it

was really interesting because
her Venus, was really, in the.

The eye of that Mars Pluto opposition
that we were living with pretty much

from October until about six weeks ago.

So we saw some real life
astrology playing out for her.

She was in a battle, taking back her
power, which is a Plutonian story.

So we got to dive into that.

So it's really fun.

Come hang out with us, sign
up for Cosmic Conversation.

It's free.

go to my website.

Under events, you can sign up for that.

And the Saturn workshop, which is coming
up June 29th, the Saturn workshop.

We're gonna talk all about Saturn and
Aries, but really we're gonna get into

the Saturn cycles of our own lives and
how Saturn, reacts in all 12 signs.

So it's gonna be a deep dive into Saturn.

Saturn is the Lord of karma,
the lord of time really rules.

All things having to do with adulting.

So we are in a new Saturn cycle.

I talked about it last week.

If you miss that, go back, listen
to that episode after you listen

to this one, because we talked a
lot about Saturn Aries last week.

So that episode is.

Still going to be pertinent for a while.

We will be living with Saturn and
Aries for the next three years.

and you know more on that in last
week's episode, but today we are here

to talk about Jupiter and cancer.

'cause that is the next big
thing that is happening.

Jupiter is the benefic.

There's two benefic in,
Classical astrology.

They say that Venus and Jupiter are
the benefits, meaning that they are

the bringers of light of goodness.

They're two of the brightest
planets in the night sky.

We love to see Jupiter and Venus working
together, and I mentioned this last week,

but Jupiter and Venus are working together
today as I'm recording this on the fourth.

So having Jupiter and Venus in
a sex tile working together,

sex tiles mean working together.

They're in harmony.

they're helping one another out.

This is really helpful Astrology,
this is supportive astrology.

Now, some of the astrology for the
fourth and the fifth is really helpful.

So I told you last week to kind of, do
your stuff on these days if you needed

to have a good day to do some stuff.

But sometimes I find that when.

The heavens are quiet That is when
some of the heavy stuff comes to the

surface and we feel it because it's
like after you've been through a really

intense experience and then you have

a moment to take a deep breath and settle.

That is often when you start to feel
the emotion or the feelings rise up and

they become emotion, they are emoted.

So I wouldn't be surprised if
you're feeling a sort of relief.

Along with a lot of feelings coming up,
this week, because we do have a little

bit of space, we have a little bit of
a breath, and sometimes when we get a

chance to take a breath energetically,
the feelings come up because they have an

opportunity to, because we have the space.

To fuel them.

So that's my little caveat,
but it is supportive energy.

It is supportive astrology.

If you've got to have some
important conversations, these

are good days to have them.

We will have Mercury working
with Mars on the fifth.

Again, I mentioned this
in last week's episode.

I'm just touching on it because I
am recording on the fourth and my

aim is to get this up to you asap.

Okay.

But moving on to the weekend and into
next week, June 6th, on Friday, we have

Venus, leaving Aries and entering Taurus.

So Venus and Aries, you know,
she's a warrior when she's in

Aries and we've needed that.

We've needed her coming in guns blazing,
but she really likes to be comfortable.

She really likes to relax.

And sit on the couch and drink a nice
glass of red wine, which is what she

gets to do when she is in Taurus, which
is her home sign where she's in charge.

She owns the house.

It's her house.

so when Venus is in Taurus, she is
going to be much more interested

in safety and security and comfort
rather than fighting or going to war.

it doesn't mean that you're not
gonna still be angry because we got

plenty of Aries energy in the sky.

We've got Saturn and Neptune and Aries.

So we're working, we're in a masterclass
of anger, rage, frustration, dealing

with those emotions, not dealing with
those emotions, avoiding those emotions.

we're in a masterclass of working with
those emotions for the foreseeable

future, but Venus will move into Taurus
and she will be really happy there.

this is nice.

We have Venus moving into Taurus on
Friday, June 6th, and then we have Jupiter

moving into cancer on Monday, June 9th.

This means that the tube benefits.

Are going to be in the
signs where they are happy.

right now they're in signs
where they're just not so happy.

this is really good news and Lord
knows we needed it because we've had

really tough astrology this whole year,
and it's nice to get this sweetness.

June is really where a lot of
the sweetness comes in this year,

While there's still a lot of rocking
and rolling, there's still a lot of

chaos, there's still a lot of change.

there's a lot of shifting going on.

There's also this supportive energy,
and this supportive energy is

coming from a very feminine energy
because cancer and Taurus are both.

Feminine signs.

so there is sort of a, a willingness
to receive, a willingness to

relax, a willingness to allow
yourself to be nourished and

comforted and safe and secure.

So my hope is that we will all
experience a little more of all of

those wonderful things this month and
throughout the remainder of this year.

Okay.

So before all of those shifts happen.

mercury and Jupiter come together.

so this really interesting thing happening
where all of these planets are working

together and talking to one another
this week before they change signs.

So Mercury and Jupiter will
come together, on Sunday before

Jupiter enters cancer on Monday.

So Mercury's at those last degrees
of, Gemini and so is Jupiter, and

Jupiter's been in Gemini for a year.

So Jupiter takes 12 years to go
around the Zodiac and Gemini is not

a sign where Jupiter is content.

He is in his detriment, which means
that it's just really hard for

him to express himself in the way
that he wants to express himself.

It's really hard for him to.

Be himself to feel at home.

So Jupiter and Gemini, it's
just, it's not his favorite.

You know, he's the ruler of
Sagittarius, which is the opposite sign.

Doesn't mean that it is really bad
luck or anything if you have Jupiter

and Gemini in your chart, it's just he
has a harder time expressing himself.

So Jupiter being at the last degree
of Gemini and then meeting up

with Mercury at the last degree
of Gemini, there's definitely a

message that wants to be expressed.

So you might've noticed the last year
with Jupiter and Gemini, we've had an

expansion of, 'cause Jupiter amplifies
and expands, whatever it touches.

Jupiter is.

The Lord of amplification.

he's associated with blessings and
abundance and fertility growth.

growth is generally a good thing.

We like to grow.

We like things to become
bigger, but not always, right?

If you have.

An infestation, you don't
want it to get bigger.

I remember when we had, 2020, we had
Jupiter and Pluto conjoin three times.

and I was living in New York
City and we had water bugs.

And every time Jupiter and Pluto.

Got together Pluto's, what's
living underneath the surface.

Like our entire highrise had emptied
out for COVID and that means that the

water in the pipes wasn't running.

And that means the water bugs were
calming up the highrise pipes.

And we had, every time Jupiter
and Pluto got together.

We unfortunately had that
experience of seeing water bugs.

So, you don't always want things to grow,
but, Jupiter and Mercury coming together,

hopefully we do not have that situation.

We shouldn't.

It's not Pluto.

It is going to be, whatever
the message is, is going to get

louder, whatever we need to hear,
whatever truth we need to be.

Privy to whatever story
we need to know about.

It's gonna get louder.

It's gonna get amplified.

Pay attention to what's going on
in the news on Sunday, June 8th.

Pay attention to what's
going on in your life.

Notice who's calling, notice
who's texting, all those things.

you might notice that the truth
is being retold or revised in some

way because Jupiter and Gemini,
Gemini is always multiples.

So sometimes when we have a
planet in Gemini, we have to look

at something a couple of times.

Or several times, you might have
noticed that with Jupiter and Gemini,

the past year, we've had a big
amplification of, misinformation,

disinformation, deep fakes.

we knew Pluto in Aquarius.

Pluto entered Aquarius.

Couple years ago, for the first
time, and it was right when we were

talking, the story of AI blew up.

And then we knew Jupiter in Gemini this
past year was going to amplify, the Pluto

and Aquarius story, particularly when
Jupiter was at early degrees of Gemini.

and of course we have seen that story
really blow up in, in this past year, You

know, there's lots of benefits of AI and
there's lots of drawbacks, and there's

lots of things to be worried about.

You know, it takes for every search
that you put into chat, GPT or Gemini

or any of these, you know, of course
Google's AI bot is called Gemini.

Makes perfect sense.

Someone at Google is following astrology.

whenever you put a search into
one of those, what they call large

language models, it uses two bottles
of water because that's how much

water the database uses to keep up
with the energy needed to pour out,

the content that you're asking for.

So there is.

There's a lot of things.

There's a lot of aspects to the story.

There's a lot of different perspectives
with which to see the story of artificial

intelligence and Jupiter and Gemini
has brought those to the surface.

Jupiter and Gemini is of course going.

We've seen a lot more deep fakes.

The other day I saw something pop up on
my YouTube and my YouTube algorithm is not

good 'cause I don't use YouTube that much.

And it's mostly Miss Rachel
and Blippy videos for my son.

So all of a sudden, you know, I got
some news thing on YouTube and it was.

Jay-Z takes the stand in the Diddy
trial and it looked kind of fake.

I did not click on it 'cause I didn't
want to click on it if it were fake.

And I thought it was, and I asked
my husband, did Jay-Z take the

stand in the Diddy trial today?

And he said, absolutely not.

What are you talking about?

And I was like, oh my God.

YouTube served, drop this.

Fake video to me.

So the fake information is everywhere.

And we knew we were gonna see that
with Jupiter and Gemini because Jupiter

amplifies and Gemini is information,
and Gemini is lots of information.

Gemini is curious in all the things.

It wants to understand something
from all the perspectives.

It wants to dip its fingers
into all of the pop.

It wants to taste all the flavors.

It's similar to Sagittarius in that way.

it likes to take in lots of information,
so just knowing that we know that there's

gonna be a lot of content, a lot of
information out there, and we don't

know what's good and what's not good,
or what's real and what's not real, so.

We knew that, or I knew, and I shared
that with you, a year ago, that that would

be the experience of Jupiter and Gemini.

And we have seen it to be true.

But now, you know, mercury and Jupiter
meet at the last degree of Gemini.

Mercury is the ruler of Gemini.

So I think we're going to get some.

Truth that is gonna come out this
weekend, perhaps early next week.

And, we're gonna have to work
with that truth, and we're gonna

have to deal with that truth.

Once Jupiter, Jupiter moves into
cancer, which luckily is a sign

where Jupiter is so content,
he's so happy because Jupiter is.

The God of the Gods, he is the
father of all the girl gods.

He is the representation of fertility.

When you want to get pregnant,
you make an offering to Jupiter.

Oftentimes, when clients come to me
and they wanna get pregnant, I'll look

at what Jupiter's doing in the chart.

I had a client who had Jupiter
coming to her progressed moon,

that's when she got pregnant.

I myself had some Jupiter.

I had Jupiter to my son
when I got pregnant.

So we look at Jupiter for fertility
and for abundance and for growth.

And Jupiter in cancer is
going to bring a lot of that.

And because Jupiter is exalted
in cancer, it is the place where

he is like the honored guest.

it's like he's the royal guest.

You know?

If you were going to have.

Your favorite, aunt
come over and visit you.

You would put out her favorite foods and
make sure the house was clean and make

sure that the bed was made just right.

Like you would just take really
good care of her and make sure

that everything was ready.

So that's what it feels like.

Jupiter going to cancer like he is.

Staying somewhere where he is honored and
well taken care of, so that way he is able

to be his most comforted and best self.

So the planets are playing, they're
talking, they're working together.

They're playing a phone tag this week
as they all have these conversations.

And then all these things are gonna be put
into motion when these planets move into

their new signs and their new energies
over the next few days and the next week.

So it's really interesting time
astrologically, because they're meeting

at these final degrees and the last
degrees of A sign, 28, 29 degrees.

Those are the last degrees of each sign.

So when we have planets at those
degrees, it is considered a crisis

point, which means that something has to.

Be done or something becomes apparent
and you cannot look away any longer.

There sometimes is a feeling of,
if I don't do this right now,

I'll never get another chance.

So there is a drama.

There is a crisis to the feeling, the
energy of having planets at the anaerobic

degree, the last degrees of the signs.

So having Mercury and Jupiter Mo meet
there means that there's going to be

something that comes out and it's gonna
feel like, oh my goodness, now I see it.

Now I know it.

Now I understand it.

Now I have to do something about this.

So as I said, Venus moves
into tour on Friday.

the son of Mercury join at
the last degree of cancer.

On Sunday, and then Jupiter moves
into cancer on Monday the 9th of June.

So Mercury, and Jupiter are moving
from a place of thinking of being

in the intellectual, which is
what Gemini is really good at.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury.

It likes to be in the head.

it's moving from a place of
thinking and trying to figure

it out to a place of feeling.

Just understanding it and
following the intuition and letting

the intuition be your guide.

Cancer is a sign about receptivity,
so allowing ourselves to be open

and available to feel what we need
to feel, and letting that feeling,

letting that intuition be our guide
into how we take the next step.

It's interesting because.

These planets are moving into cancer,
and of course Venus is moving into

Taurus and both Taurus and and cancer
are more feminine signs, and the

feminine signs are more yin signs.

They're about receptivity and
allowing yourself to take in

what's going on around you.

And then perhaps reacting to it, but
not necessarily being in the young yang

or yang energy of pushing energy out.

So we've got Saturn and Neptune in
Aries, which is the quintessential

yang or yang energy, which is
all about dictating the energy.

and then we will have these planets.

moving into Taurus and cancer, which
are the opposite, which is not bad.

It's cancer is also a cardinal sign.

It is also a sign of leadership.

It's leadership from a different,
with a different style.

Okay?

So we get a chance to
exhale with this astrology.

We get a chance to exhale when
these planets move into these more

feminine signs of Taurus and cancer.

But, it might feel, you know, on Monday
that hopefully, I hope for you that

there's a feeling of Gemini leaves the,
The chaos, the busy mind, or Jupiter, I'm

sorry, leaves the busy mind of Gemini.

And it's almost like after a really
long day with you had to talk to a

lot of people and do a lot of stuff
and you are running around town, and

everybody's emailing and texting you
and calling you, and then you get

home and you draw a nice warm bath.

And you put in your essential oils
and your bubbles and your Epsom salts,

and you slip in and it's like, Ugh.

That feeling, I feel so much better.

Ugh.

And your body just kind of
melts into the warm water.

That is what Jupiter is going to
feel like when it goes into cancer,

but not for long because Jupiter.

Will be squaring Saturn
and Neptune and Aries.

mercury will be squaring them
first because, you know, he moves

faster, but it's within orb, so
you're gonna be feeling it and

Venus is gonna be squaring Pluto.

So things are in motion.

things are gonna be.

Happening.

Things are gonna be going, things
are gonna be moving, and grooving

decisions are gonna be made.

And that leads me to, the full Moon.

So next week, you know,
Monday is gonna be a big day.

We're gonna have Mercury Square.

Saturn, we're gonna have Venus
Square, Pluto, we're gonna have

Mercury also squaring Neptune.

We're gonna have Jupiter
moving into cancer.

Lot of friction, a lot of
conversations, a lot of stuff going on.

On Monday, we will also be in a period
of the moon waxing and getting bigger.

And whenever we get close to the
full moon, we have a rise in energy.

We have a rise in emotion.

We have a rise in everyone feeling
a little bit extra, and we will

have a full moon in Sagittarius
on Wednesday, June 11th.

mercury will also be Sextiling,
Venus that day, which a really

nice, friendly, helpful energy.

In this particular full moon.

And the full Moon, there was
nothing, you know, the full Moon.

Is, I don't wanna say it's a
particularly challenging full

moon, but the full Moon creates a
grand cross with the nodes of fate.

And anytime we're working with the
nodes of fate, we're working with

our destiny and we're working with
fate, hence the nodes of fate.

Anytime we have planets squaring the
nodes, it means that we're making

decisions and those decisions can
have long lasting impacts that shape

our destiny, that shape our fate.

And I always say you dictate your fate.

I say that at the start of
this podcast every week.

So.

You know, the full moon on June 11th.

in Sagittarius at 20 degrees, if
you have something at 20 degrees

of the mutable signs, meaning Sag,
Gemini, Pisces, or Virgo, you're

definitely gonna feel this full moon.

But all of us are going to feel it because
we're all gonna be making decisions.

And as I said this week, it's like
everybody's on the phone tray talking

to everybody, sharing the information.

And then they all move into their new
energy, their new signs next as we

move into the weekend and next week.

And then they start to take action on
everything they talked about this week.

So it's not surprising that with
that full moon, we reach that apex of

energy and we gotta take some actions.

We gotta do something with
everything that we learned about.

remember that, you know.

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter,
and Jupiter will be in its new

sign of cancer where he is exalted.

He's feeling really good.

He's feeling himself.

He's feeling powerful.

Everyone's happy to see him there, so you
might be receiving a lot of blessings.

You with this full moon, maybe you get
some information and doesn't sound so good

at first, but then you realize, actually
this might be working in my favor.

You wanna honor what feels fulfilling
with this full moon, and you wanna

have confidence in going with your gut.

So remember, it's squaring the nodes.

It's gonna be making it clear how you
need to move forward and in making those

decisions, you wanna have confidence in
your intuition because we're moving from

a thinking energy to a feeling energy.

So get quiet.

Do what you need to to feel your body.

Allow yourself to take a deep breath, feel
your feet on the floor, maybe get into the

bath, and then feel what comes up for you.

Okay, so some themes of Jupiter
and cancer before we wrap up.

the next year, Jupiter and Cancer,
we're going to be thinking about,

belief and faith because those
are the things ruled by Jupiter.

Jupiter is confidence,
it's self-confidence.

It's knowing that you are worthy of love.

Jupiter and cancer and cancer
is the divine mother energy,

Nourish and nurture yourself.

Self care huge with Jupiter and cancer.

All the baths, all the restorative yoga,
all the good full meals that make you feel

really nourished, like deep in your soul.

Nourished like not feeling,
lack, feeling full.

That is what I want for you and
that is what Jupiter wants for you.

When Jupiter is in cancer.

amplifying themes of home and
family safety and security.

These are all related to cancer.

the divine Mother archetype.

I keep thinking about Jupiter and
cancer, and I keep thinking and seeing

the Pieta, which is the sculpture
in, the Vatican where you have.

Mary holding Jesus after he has
been taken down from the cross.

And I've been thinking about that
image a lot the past few months,

and I wasn't really sure why.

And then today when I was putting together
this podcast, I was like, oh my goodness.

That feels.

Like Jupiter and cancer, because
Jupiter and cancer expands our

compassion, it expands our empathy.

Cancer is the divine mother
archetype, in my opinion.

It is ruled by the moon.

The moon is symbolic of our
cycle as women and our ability to

give birth and all those things.

It's a symbol of birth.

And the lifecycle.

And without taking a detour on the moon,
I just wanna say that I just keep seeing

that image of the pieta and I have a
son now, as many of you know, and on

a deeper level, you know, Jupiter and
cancer really expands our compassion.

And if like me, you just cannot
handle these stories about.

People being disappeared, kidnapped,
taken by ice by this administration.

What's going on?

Please call your representatives.

you know, I keep thinking,
I have a son who's biracial.

I'm white, my husband's black.

When he is older, people
will not necessarily know

what his background is and.

The people that are
being targeted are brown.

Of course there are not just brown people,
but mostly brown people, particularly

brown people that speak Spanish.

and so I was thinking about all of
these mothers that are out there

and missing their sons, and I keep
thinking about that image of the pie.

Ta.

I'm feeling like tears
coming up right now.

That's the Jupiter and Cancer coming.

but having a son myself and knowing
that one day he'll be out there in

the world and people will see him
as someone that should be, taken off

the streets simply because of the
way he looks, the color of his skin,

the language he may or may not speak.

it is terrifying.

It is.

Just gut wrenching and Jupiter
and cancer is compassion, empathy.

It's safety and security.

It's nourishing and nurturing,
taking care of one another.

So these stories are not going away.

If you're not seeing them, then you're
probably not following the accounts

that are sharing these videos, but
they're gut-wrenching, especially

videos of mothers being taken.

Videos of mothers having their sons taken.

Anyway, all of that is to say, not to
bring you down, because I really do

want this to be a place of positivity,
but we can't be toxically positive.

we have to be.

Courageous beings of light, bringing
light to the places where it's needed.

And so, being that you're here,
I assume you're a being of,

a light bringer, a wayfinder.

So it's important for us to know
what's going on and bring light to

the place where there is darkness.

So other things that will be,
bringing the light with Jupiter

and cancer, fertility and growth.

it'll be interesting to see if there's
a little mini baby boom this year.

honoring what feels
fulfilling on the soul level.

As I said, nourish yourself.

Nurture yourself.

I know that we are going
back to, I swear to God.

Saturn and Aries is taking us back 30
years to the last time, late nineties.

I know we're going back to
this place of skinny being in

again and Jupiter and cancer.

Please take this as your
memo to nourish yourself.

interest in ancestry
and history and legacy.

Jupiter is wisdom and cancer is water.

It's associated with intuition,
so trust your gut, trust your gut.

I'm gonna end it there.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend,
another wonderful week, a wonderful

full moon, all of those things,
and I'll talk to you next week.

Bye.
