On June 9th at 4:03 PM CDT, the planet with the massive red dot is moving into the sign of Cancer. Jupiter, the embodiment of joy, luck, growth, and expansion, will finally take a vacation after being in the sign of Gemini for a year.

While Jupiter is in Gemini, it’s somewhat uncomfortable. It’s like showing up to a loud party. Everyone is talking, but it’s hard to distinguish who’s saying what or to process all the information because there’s just so much going on. But when Jupiter is in Cancer, it feels more like being on vacation with friends, such as hanging out in a cabana on the beach, being pampered with umbrella drinks, fresh towels, and perfect weather. It doesn’t take much effort to get what you want, which means you could also become a bit lackadaisical since everything feels so easy breezy.

Why is Jupiter going into Cancer a big deal? Imagine feeling safe and nurtured, and that everyone around you is family in a good, loving, protective way. Emotionally, you feel warm and cared for, as if someone wrapped you in a cozy blanket. But this experience isn’t short-lived. Instead, it gets better. Even when you’re not at home, you’re still enveloped in a sense of optimism, and everything just seems to go your way. You may have moments that feel like luck, serendipitous scenarios that seem too good to be true. This is what many are hoping for, the expansiveness of Jupiter combining with the nurturance and care of Cancer.

But Jupiter isn’t all rosy for everyone. We do have Saturn in Aries. The world could play out differently, with countries taking hostile measures in the name of safety and security. This is why I’ve mentioned many times that this summer may feel like the whole world is on fire, while your personal life could be blooming beautifully. It all depends on your chart and how the transiting planets interact with your natal planets.

And though we tend to focus on the positive traits of Cancer, there’s also the potential for martyrdom or passive-aggressiveness. Jupiter can amplify both the positive and the negative aspects. However, generally speaking, Jupiter in Cancer brings good vibes, a feeling of comfort, and a desire to express love and emotional understanding.

Though I’m quite excited about Jupiter moving into Cancer, and so are many other astrologers, you may want to look at the past to get a sense of how this transit could play out for you. The Jupiter cycle is just a little over 12 years, and Jupiter, like all planets, has a retrograde period. Think back to what was going on during the last time Jupiter was in Cancer.

The last Jupiter-in-Cancer cycle was from June 25, 2013, through July 16, 2014. Prior to that, it was July 30, 1989, through August 17, 1990.

During those cycles, did anything significant happen in your life? Did you meet someone special? Land a dream job? Expand your friend group? If so, you may see similar themes emerge in this new Jupiter cycle.

You might be wondering, especially if you don’t remember those time periods or your life has changed dramatically, what to expect with this ingress. The best way to find out is by looking at your rising sign or identifying the house that contains the sign of Cancer in your chart.

Keep in mind, since I don’t know your chart, the information below is written using Whole Sign Houses. Quadrant house systems can vary widely, so you may find more accuracy by using your rising sign.

Find your rising sign for the most accurate reading, however, you can also check what house is ruled by Cancer.

Jupiter is bringing expansive energy to your home and family, but it can also amplify tense dynamics. Through optimism and belief, Jupiter can sometimes help heal old wounds, it just depends on how you approach the situation. If you’re sweeping everything under the rug and putting on a false smile, the energy could backfire and create more friction, not less.

With Jupiter in your 4th house, you may:

• Feel the urge to move or relocate

• Decide to renovate your home

• Reach out to family members

• Install a home security system

• Host parties and backyard BBQs

• Expand your family (or skip the birth control because you're feeling hopeful)

A word of advice: You may underestimate the cost of anything involving your home or family. If you take on any expansion projects, aim to stay under budget, because the temptation to overspend will be real.

With Jupiter transiting your third house, you might find yourself saying hello to your neighbors and actually making friends with them. There's a genuine optimism in connecting with your surroundings, and you could easily become a social butterfly. Your siblings may also play a bigger role in your life over the next year. The main thing to watch out for is getting a little too chatty. It’s great to communicate, but make sure your words don’t come back to bite you.

With Jupiter in the 3rd house, you may:

• Join your local library or participate in a book club

• Plan an outing with siblings or cousins

• Get involved in the neighborhood watch

• Attend the local fair or carnival

• Take an active role in your HOA

• Volunteer at a school or join the PTA

Word of advice: Be careful not to overextend yourself with commitments. Choose one or two things that excite you and resonate with your values. Pay attention to your words and get to know others without smothering or crossing boundaries.

Jupiter transiting your second house can be exciting, but also a little precarious. There's a great chance your income will increase this year, and you may attract people who share your values. This all sounds amazing, but with Jupiter there’s often an easy-come, easy-go relationship with money. Because you’ll likely be in a great mood, it’s important to stay discerning when it comes to spending.

With Jupiter in the 2nd house, you may:

• Check the value of your possessions

• Browse flea markets or antique shops

• Find new side hustles

• Ask for a raise (and get it!)

• Purchase something you've always wanted

• Increase contributions to your 401(k) or investments

Word of advice: This can be a lucky time financially, and you could experience an unexpected windfall. But because of your optimistic outlook, you may end up being overly generous or giving more than you planned. Be prudent with money. Even if it seems abundant, Jupiter’s influence in this area lasts only a year.

With Jupiter in your first house, almost anything goes. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this is your moment to break free. It’s a fresh start, and thanks to what you learned during Jupiter’s time in Gemini, you’re in a strong position to manifest your ideal life. You could meet the love of your life, receive a promotion, or achieve a long-held personal goal. The key is to stay grateful and keep your eyes open for opportunity.

With Jupiter in the 1st house, you may:

• Practice saying yes to new experiences

• Attend more social events

• Change your appearance or outlook

• Manifest love, a new home, job, or promotion

• Prioritize nurturing and caring for yourself

• Act with appreciation and generosity

Word of advice: Jupiter in the first house is often considered one of the luckiest transits, but it’s your belief that fuels its magic. Think positive thoughts, surround yourself with what brings you joy, and practice the 12 Universal Laws. Most importantly, lead with gratitude. Stay open to receiving.

Jupiter moving through the 12th house isn’t the easiest transit, but it could be one of the most pivotal times in your life. It all depends on how you approach it. This is a time to nourish your soul, which often happens in solitude, something a Leo rising might resist. But there are other ways to get in tune. Just be mindful not to tune out or escape completely.

With Jupiter in the 12th house, you may:

• Take up or deepen your yoga practice

• Explore your inner world through guided meditation

• Delve into the occult, metaphysics, esoteric studies, or astrology

• Book a Reiki session or begin therapy

• Keep a dream journal

• Reflect on the past 12 years and reconnect with your soul’s purpose

Word of advice: You might feel confined in your spiritual practices and want to dive headfirst into exploration. Friends may serve as mirrors, reflecting your shadow work back to you. Be careful not to let this energy turn into escapism through substances or unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Jupiter’s transit through your 11th house will keep you busy with friends, events, and networks. It’s a great time to reconnect with old colleagues and say yes when new doors open. You may find yourself caring deeply about social causes and drawn to groups that share your values. The catch is that you might want to say yes to everything, which can leave you overcommitted.

With Jupiter in the 11th house, you may:

• Find like-minded people and support social change

• Attend social gatherings and events

• Network with past colleagues or go to professional mixers

• Set long-term goals tied to group involvement

• Collaborate on projects with others

• Say “yes” to dancing, socializing, and being out in the world

Word of advice: Go to parties and events, and have fun. Talk to as many people as you can. Just be mindful of what you say. The energy supports opportunities that come through who you know, so make sure people are speaking positively about you. If you can’t offer something productive to a conversation, it’s better to stay quiet.

Jupiter is bringing the spotlight back to your career, and this time it feels much lighter than the past year. You may rediscover joy in your work and attract praise, accolades, or new income opportunities. The key here is to stay positive and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Just because you’re the star at work doesn’t mean you have to live there.

With Jupiter in the 10th house, you may:

• Apply for promotions

• Keep your resume updated and track your wins

• Take on high-profile projects

• Uplift others and highlight their contributions

• Create a warm, trust-building environment

• Delegate tasks that help others shine

Word of advice: Don’t let recognition go to your head. Show up as the kind of leader who lifts others up while you rise. Cancer ruling your 10th house gives you a natural ability to support others, and now is the time to empower your peers. This will help free up your schedule, allowing you to spend more quality time with your family. Let your loved ones know they’re still your top priority.

Jupiter will awaken your inner explorer. This is the time to travel and expand your worldview. Your thirst for knowledge increases, and you may be drawn to studies in culture, religion, or philosophy. Whether you’re auditing a class, touring sacred sites, or browsing museum exhibits, Jupiter wants you to open your mind and connect the dots between people, traditions, and wisdom systems.

With Jupiter in the 9th house, you may:

• Travel to new destinations

• Learn a new language

• Try cuisines from different cultures

• Visit museums, sacred sites, or historical landmarks

• Study philosophy, theology, or work toward a degree

• Publish your poetry, essays, travelogues, or photos

Word of advice: Jupiter in the 9th invites you to expand spiritually, intellectually, and geographically. This is a time for exploring and learning, not preaching. Keep your mind open. Just because something is unfamiliar doesn’t mean it’s less meaningful or valid than your own perspective.

Jupiter transiting your eighth house can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, you may become closer to your partner, merge assets, and experience financial luck. On the other, you could receive an inheritance, which may be beneficial but comes at the cost of losing someone close to you. You may also be confronted with emotional or psychological wounds that need healing.

With Jupiter in the 8th house, you may:

• Work on paying off debt or seeking relief

• Save extra money and consult a CPA for tax planning

• Experience deeper trust and intimacy in a partnership

• Increase your shared resources through someone else

• Accept help from others, while ensuring they are trustworthy

• Handle end-of-life or inheritance matters with compassion and clarity

Word of advice: As Jupiter expands eighth-house themes, you may need to face life’s shadow areas such as death, vulnerability, or past injustices. Generational wounds may surface. If you have a trusted person by your side, this could be a powerful time of healing. It may be wise to seek a therapist or professional to help you navigate the process.

If there’s such a thing as being lucky in love, Jupiter in Cancer is ready to say yes. Relationships may feel more nurturing and emotionally fulfilling. You might meet someone new or deepen an existing bond. This transit also benefits business partnerships or building a loyal client base. The only caveat, especially with Cancer’s influence, is not to lose yourself trying too hard to please others. Let the good vibes flow, and allow relationships to have a natural give-and-take.

With Jupiter in the 7th house, you may:

• Be open to collaboration with another person

• Plan meaningful activities with your significant other

• Have deep-hearted conversations with your partner

• Solidify business plans with someone else

• Reconnect with someone from your past

• Explore what makes a relationship healthy and fulfilling

Word of advice: Even though the energy centers around connection, it's essential to show up authentically. Close relationships will flourish when others see the real you. Your optimism is magnetic, and if you're single, this transit could bring someone into your life. Just remember that healthy relationships also include space, “me time,” and mutual respect.

Your daily routines may get busier, but the energy is shifting toward self-care. Over the next year, you may find that you're more productive by doing less. When you tend to your mind, body, and soul, your focus improves, and you're better able to prioritize what truly matters. Jupiter may present lots of options, but if you lean into what feels right emotionally, your decisions will bear fruit.

With Jupiter in the 6th house, you may:

• Shorten or simplify your commute

• Pamper yourself with facials, massages, or detox treatments

• Create a clean, nourishing eating routine

• Move your body with intention and kindness

• Automate routine tasks like bill-paying or housework

• Spread joy in your workplace and through your daily habits

Word of advice: This is a time to live with intention instead of chaos. You often take care of others, but Jupiter is asking you to care for yourself, too. Prioritize sleep, downtime, and balance. Don’t overdo it. Instead, work smarter, not harder. Your well-being deserves top priority.

Jupiter loves being in the fifth house. This is a beautiful time to date, fall in love, or just let your inner child lead the way. You may feel more creative, expressive, and free. If you find yourself spinning in circles just to feel joy like you did as a kid, Jupiter is working its magic. Let yourself play, explore your artistic side, and celebrate life's pleasures. Just be mindful not to get so swept up in bliss that you forget your responsibilities.

With Jupiter in the 5th house, you may:

• Let your inner artist paint, dance, write, and play

• Reconnect with things you loved doing as a child

• Start a passion project you’ve been dreaming about

• Date someone new or reignite romance in a current relationship

• Fill your space with beauty and romance

• Take a risk, laugh freely, and fall in love with life

Word of advice: There’s always a possibility of pregnancy with fifth-house transits, especially when Jupiter is involved. If that’s something you want, wonderful. If not, take precautions. Overall, this is a time to be bold, playful, and open to joy. Let yourself be enchanted by the magic of simply being alive.

Keep in mind, Jupiter doesn’t work alone, either in your birth chart or during transits. While there will likely be a part of your life that expands, you’re still a multi-dimensional person with many areas to attend to. Not everything will be cheerful or lucky, but Jupiter in Cancer brings energy that is lighter, more loving, and warmer than what we experienced with Jupiter in Gemini.

Jupiter is just one part of the equation when it comes to manifesting what you want. You have to believe you're worthy and that your desires are possible. You also need to cultivate self-worth, which Cancer supports by encouraging self-nurturance. Jupiter in Cancer marks a shift in energy; one that invites emotional fulfillment and inner care.

The last time Jupiter was in Cancer, I met the love of my life, bought back my old house, and returned to my hometown. If that’s not a cluster of Cancerian themes, I don’t know what is! These things didn’t happen overnight, so have patience and trust that the timing will unfold as it’s meant to. Most of all, be grateful for this cycle. We only get Jupiter in Cancer once every 12 to 13 years, so make the most of it!
