Jupiter's Exaltation in Cancer, Fierce Cats & Cosmic Teachers

Send us a textJupiter  slides into Cancer, his place of exaltation, and the cosmic professor swaps chalkboards for casseroles—nurturing, expansive, and fierce all at once. In this episode, Justine and Scarlett trace Jupiter’s 12-year return cycles, from Obama-era optimism to Greta Thunberg’s chart, from Montessori’s child-led wisdom to AI ethics think tanks.They break down Jupiter’s nakshatras—Punarvasu (endless arrows), Vishakha (fire and thresholds), and Purvabhadrapada (Kundalini lightning)—all feline fierce, all Durga-coded. Fashion goes saffron bathrobes and octopus-alien costumes, music runs from Aretha Franklin’s gospel to Quincy Jones’ orchestral genius, and film picks span Dead Poets Society to Free Willy.Myth-wise, Indra learns the hard way what happens when you snub your teacher, as Bṛhaspati walks out and the devas lose their divine shield. It’s a story of humility, wisdom, and the radiant power of exalted Jupiter—our collective reminder to bow to what truly nourishes.Support the show
