The current year is filled with vast astrological movements, including transits that mirror a profound change occurring on both an individual and collective level. It began in March as Neptune entered the realm of Aries for the first time in 150 years. In May, Saturn entered Aries, where it hadn’t been for 30 years. And this month, the momentum continues with Jupiter in Cancer for the first time in more than a decade.
As Jupiter enters Cancer, it brings one of the most nurturing astrological transits of the year. Things are changing. Structures are shifting. Our perceptions, desires, and needs are evolving. Together, we are creating a new way of moving through this world. Together we are creating a new future. And this year is just the beginning.
When Will Jupiter Be in Cancer?
Jupiter enters Cancer on June 9, 2025, where it will remain until June 30, 2026.
What Does Jupiter in Cancer Mean?
In astrology, Jupiter is known as our great benefic. The size of our biggest planet in the solar system mirrors its offering—expansion.
As Jupiter travels through the zodiac, it brings expansion, opportunity, growth, and wisdom to and through whichever sign it makes home at the current moment. With Jupiter in Cancer, its medicine becomes available through feeling, emotional tending, creating inner safety, and inner reflecting.
A water sign, Cancer feels its way through the world. It intuits. Senses. Responds. Softens. Loves. Cancer exists within our emotional currents and our feeling nature. Like the Moon, Cancer is our private self. Our subjective inner world. Our tender layers. Our formative years. In the landscape of the zodiac, it is Cancer that opens us to the profound beauty, information, guidance, and healing found within our emotions.
As Jupiter makes its home in Cancer for the next year, it invites us to come home to ourselves as our own sacred sanctuary, safe space, and healing retreat. It invites psychological tending, integration of all that exists within, and a healing of our relationship with emotion itself.
After a year in Gemini of expanding the mind and opening us to ideas, Jupiter now invites us to feel what we have been envisioning, to bring those ideas into our bodies, and nurture what we desire to bring into this world.
Jupiter in Cancer isn’t growth for growth’s sake. It doesn’t rush. It is growth rooted in truth, belonging, sacred reverence, and meaningful expansion. It moves within our rhythms, it honors our cycles, and it nurtures within our capacity. The more we create safety within ourselves, the more it helps us expand our worlds.
