Jupiter into Cancer

It won't be too long until Jupiter changes signs again, this time moving into Cancer in June, away from the air focus of Gemini to a new water focus, putting us more greatly in touch with feelings. Here is where empaths and sensitive souls gain new strength, as you can swim well in the emotional depths. Though don't forget to take a break and rest on a rock in the sun when you need one!

Did you know that there are crystal correlations with astrology? Crystals can be used for meditation and healing. They can feel like great companions when we need a boost! Here's an excerpt from a crystal guide I originally wrote nearly twenty years ago, and blogged about ten years ago on this site. It speaks about the third eye chakra that amethyst, Jupiter's stone, is connected so strongly with - and about Indigo Children with their spiritual awareness. Do you have Indigo Children around you? Is your inner child of this type? Hope you enjoy this content as we head towards the fresh energy from June 9th when Jupiter moves into Cancer! 

    Amethyst is a stone of Jupiter and, for a change, the ancients seem to all agree on that, apart from Al-Biruni, who doesn’t assign it at all; perhaps a typical case of lack of supply in his area at his time. To me, amethyst is one of the stones showing greatest congruence of association between disciplines, as the astrologers agree it’s a Jupiter stone and Jupiter’s colour correspondence is always given as purple. In chakra healing, which is meaningful in aura cleansing and crystal healing alike, this is along the colour band given to the “third eye” or spiritual chakra, sometimes described as indigo in shade. Perhaps it is also one of the most relevant stones for “Indigo children”, although a wider range is certainly available to them within a healing context; in my local new age shop, “Stepping Stones”, I was delighted recently to notice crystal elixir sprays designed especially for children and teenagers, to address specific issues such as bullying, anger, depression etc. To me it is a true sign that the new age has arrived, that we are now in a position to offer healing not only to our fellow adults but also to the next generation of children appearing in the world!

    In her book entitled Soul Mastery Susann Taylor Shier describes children with a more greatly developed compassion and, likewise, sees this as a sign that the times are a-changing and, if we look around, we can see that our children are incarnating as highly developed souls. Perhaps we can send some boxes of crystals and gem essences to the houses of “Tiny Tearaways” on the TV, to help any families that are still struggling!
