Jupiter in Leo—Our Gifts, Talents and Abilities Manifest

0

RisaNewS

Jupiter turned direct Wednesday morning as Mercury joined Uranus in Aries—all things new, including the individual self, coming forth into the light of day. Mercury/Uranus informs us we are different and thus have great tasks to accomplish in visualizing, building and creating the new culture and civilization. That time has come and that time is now. Jupiter’s passage through Leo is a specific time zone where we are to realize, recognize, expand and cultivate our talents and gifts which have purpose and design—they, too, are on a time schedule. Jupiter in Leo (Who am I? What are my gifts? How do I discover them? Does anyone see them? Are they important?) has been retrograde since April. We began 2015 with Jupiter retrograde in Leo. Retrograde’s tasks are of review, reassessment, renewal, refusal if need be, and rapprochement (returning to what once left behind). As Jupiter was retrograde in Leo we were to focus on our gifts, discovering, recognizing and gathering them so that when Jupiter was once again moving forward (out into the world) we would be able to show them off for the world to see. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, a social planet, fusing and blending heart, mind and love. Jupiter is the heart of the Sun, Ray 2, distributing love and wisdom, shining brightness and love into the world. Jupiter creates synthesis, which love does for everything. Jupiter is the Lord of Wisdom in Sag, Lord of Love in Pisces. In our new Aquarian Age, Jupiter at its heart provides us with limitless blessings. In astrology charts, along with rising sign and north node, Jupiter reveals our spiritual purpose, showing us where in life our gifts stream forth.

What’s the best/worst April Fools’ Day prank you’ve ever heard?

local-talkzachThis girl in my seventh grade class convinced our entire Christian school that she had cancer. Everybody started praying for her and stopped all the classes. At the end of the day she let everybody know it was an April Fools’ joke.

Kingsmen Car Club’s annual swap meet benefits a unique local mentoring program Every Thursday night, the whine of a sandblaster hums from inside the bus barn behind Twin Lakes Church, where a group of high school students gathers around a piece of living history. Well, almost living. They are the young apprentices of the church’s Kingsmen...

Plus Letters To the Editor In 25 years of driving from or to Santa Cruz, I have stopped on the Summit exactly one time, when my car overheated. Despite the fact that tens of thousands of us drive the hill every day, many Santa Cruz residents have never stopped there at all. In Brad Kava’s cover...

Wilson’s praise is directed toward a loose aggregate of LA-based...
