Let me tell you.<\/p>\n<p>I just read a great article about Jupiter Direct by Astrologer Maria DeSimone, who puts the whole thing into a sweet cupcake analogy.<br \/>\nMaria basically explains that when Jupiter, the planet of luck and growth and expansion, is retrograde it&#8217;s like wanting a cupcake from a bakery that&#8217;s closed for months.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the cupcake in the window, but you just can&#8217;t get to it. So then you try to make your own cupcakes, and they turn out so good you don&#8217;t even care when the cupcake shop finally opens again. By then you&#8217;re selling your own cupcakes, and your life is the stuff of delicious, mouthwatering daydreams come true.<\/p>\n<p>Or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>I think the most important point Maria is making is that life is about to get good this week, and we should eat it up.
