Jupiter, the planet of expansion, abundance, wisdom, and growth, is shifting into the deeply feeling and nurturing water sign of Cancer. Jupiter follows a 12-year cycle, spending about a year in each zodiac sign. Its entrance into Cancer begins on June 9, 2025, and it will remain there until June 13, 2026, when it moves into fiery Leo.
Over the last year, Jupiter’s transit through Gemini emphasized communication, commerce, and curiosity—Gemini being ruled by Mercury, the planet of trade, information, and duality. As Jupiter now dips into the emotional waters of Cancer, we’re likely to feel a collective shift: from the mind to the heart, from fast-paced external exchanges to internal nourishment and emotional expansion.
Cancer is a sign associated with home, emotional safety, family, and nurturing energy—especially mothering and feminine care. It also governs our roots, our sense of belonging, and the need to create a cozy, secure space. Old emotional wounds—especially those tied to childhood, family, or the maternal line—may rise to the surface for healing. But this isn’t a painful purge. Jupiter brings grace and perspective, helping you reframe, forgive, and expand beyond the stories that once limited you.
However, Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning it operates at its best here, and this next year is likely to bring opportunities for deep emotional healing, intuitive awakening, and soulful connection.
Jupiter in Cancer reminds us that vulnerability is strength, and that being emotionally available to life allows more abundance to flow. You don’t have to hustle to be worthy. Sometimes, the deepest expansion comes when you slow down, nurture your nervous system, and allow yourself to be held—by people, by purpose, by the Universe itself.
