Living in the Middle

Today is considered the luckiest day of 2026 in Western astrology. Jupiter and Venus are conjunct in Cancer. This conjunction in Cancer usually only happens every 12 years, and is generally considered particularly beneficial. I say ‚usually‘ because last year was a rare anomaly due to a retrograde phase, where Jupiter and Venus also met in Cancer.

But the last time before then was August 2014.

And August 2014 was, without doubt, the worst month of my life.
