When: June 9th, 2025 – June 29th, 2026
What: Jupiter in Cancer
Takeaway: Jupiter is entering Cancer (the sign of its exaltation) and bringing us one of the most emotionally abundant, nurturing, and heart-opening astrological transits of the year. This moment is all about the kind of growth that begins from the inside out — and the joy that comes from being fully ourselves.
What Jupiter in Cancer represents
This is one of the most gorgeous pairings in astrology. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, generosity, and wisdom, and Cancer is the sign of home, family, nurturance, and care. When these two come together, we get a boost of support where it matters most — in our relationships, our emotional needs, and our capacity to give and receive compassion.
In traditional astrology, Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, which means it can express its full potential here. With this combo, growth comes naturally but also feels fulfilling. This transit offers us an abundance of comfort, connection, and sweetness — and we’re allowed to have an extra helping.
How Jupiter helps us manifest our hopes and dreams
Jupiter stays in each sign for about a year. During that time, it amplifies the qualities of that sign.
While Jupiter is in Cancer, it magnifies our emotional depths, our capacity for love, and our ties to home. It encourages the parts of us that want to feel safe, secure, and free to express themselves. During this transit, realizing our hopes and dreams doesn’t require striving; it simply involves trust, openness, and a willingness to go after what feels naturally joyful.
This is a period that supports our wellbeing with both strength and softness. The blessings of Jupiter in Cancer remind us that abundance doesn’t need to be earned — it’s already here, waiting for you to accept it.
What to expect when Jupiter enters Cancer
When Jupiter enters Cancer on June 9th, 2025, the collective energy shifts toward care and compassion. This is one of the most potent Jupiter transits, bringing us steady growth, sturdier bonds, and a side of joy.
Jupiter in Cancer also sharpens our intuition in powerful ways. Gut hunches get clearer. Dreams become guiding messages. Life begins to feel less like a puzzle and more like a poem.
You may feel called to nurture your home — whether that means moving, redecorating, or simply infusing your space with more beauty and warmth. You could also feel more connected to your family, chosen kin, or close friends during this transit. Or you may find yourself celebrating your lineage, rekindling happy memories, or making new traditions that feel deeply meaningful.
If you’ve been working on something behind the scenes, this may be the time to share it, publish it, or release it into the world. Jupiter in Cancer is fruitful for birthing new creations, which could include works of art, business ventures, or literal babies, since Cancer is linked to parenting and caregiving. Whatever happens, this transit invites you to pursue anything that brings you a sense of fulfillment, confidence, and belonging. To not just heal but blossom.
What we can learn from Jupiter’s last stint in Cancer
The last time Jupiter was in Cancer was from June 25th, 2013, to July 16th, 2014. During that period, many world events reflected Cancerian themes of protection, rootedness, and emotional truth.
In 2013, future Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai was named one of "the 100 most influential people in the world" by TIME magazine, which praised her courage, compassion, and willingness to advocate for the vulnerable — all core Cancer values. Meanwhile, pop culture embraced the role of comfort and care in the creative process — think: DIY aesthetics, nostalgic storytelling, cozy interior design, and openhearted music.
If you were navigating meaningful changes around that time — including moving, making art, or celebrating personal milestones — the coming year may feel like a welcome sequel. Jupiter in Cancer is offering you the next chapter of your story — one filled with ease, sweetness, and a deeper sense of belonging.
