Jupiter in Cancer 2025-2026
Jupiter, the planet of expansion and opportunities, is about to finish its journey through Gemini. It moves into family and home-oriented, nurturing Cancer on June 9, 2025, where it will stay until June 30, 2026.
Unlike its stay in Gemini, where it was in detriment (not able to operate at full capacity), Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. It can now fully express its blessings and abundance, and that's good news for all of us!
In this post, I cover several things to keep in mind, including the special periods, such as the upcoming Jupiter square to Saturn and Neptune, and a beautiful Jupiter-Saturn trine (see Special Periods).
Let's first look at what Jupiter in Cancer means for us as the collective, and then move on to its impacts at a personal level.
Sectors that May Flourish When Jupiter is in Cancer:
Jupiter's transit of a particular sign often boosts industries associated with that sign. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is about family, property, real estate, and the food industry.
But, the thing is, Jupiter can also bring excesses, so there can be a high demand OR over-supply in the following industries:
- Real estate and housing
- Restaurants, grocery stores, agriculture
- Family planning and fertility treatments
- Baby and child-related products and industries
- Silver
Much, however, depends on the aspects Jupiter makes. More on that below.
And amazingly, we're already feeling the energy here in Canada! There is an over-supply of condos for sale in two major Canadian cities, Toronto and Vancouver.
Jupiter in Cancer and You:
When Jupiter changes signs, it's always an exciting shift. A new area in our life receives a big dose of optimism, new opportunities, and sometimes just plain old good luck 🍀
Get into the habit of tracking Jupiter through your natal chart. Something related to the House (area of your life) Jupiter is visiting is about to expand.
Sometimes it's good news, for example, a side hustle that gives your finances a welcome boost. And sometimes not so much! Your waistline can expand when Jupiter moves through your 1st House 😉 But there are also SO MANY good things about Jupiter's transit through the 1st House, too!
Look at the House (=area of your life) that is in Cancer. That's where you'll likely experience expansion in the next 12 months.
You can go about it in two ways. Firstly, you can keep an eye out for opportunities and unexpected blessings.
Don't stop there though! You can also mindfully and intentionally call expansion in those areas into your life. The New Moon in Cancer, on June 25 at 3:32 a.m. PDT, is a fantastic time for that astrologically. It's a very auspicious New Moon too, making a conjunction to Jupiter.
This way, you're staying focused on the opportunities you want to pursue, and what you want to expand and explore over the next year of your life.
Special Periods During Jupiter's Stay in Cancer
Generally, Jupiter brings expansion, blessings and opportunities. But, there is a caveat: much depends on how Jupiter gets along with the other planets (the aspects it makes).
For example, in 2023, when Jupiter was in Taurus, which is typically a financial sign, it should have been a good year for the banking sector EXCEPT Jupiter formed a volatile square to Pluto in April 2023, further set off by an eclipse. And we had a banking mini-crisis instead.
Jupiter's visit of Cancer starts on a rough note, but then dramatically improves.
Jupiter-Saturn and Jupiter-Neptune Squares: a Reality Check
Normally, the days around Jupiter's move into another sign bring an optimistic, upbeat vibe. But this time, just after it moves into Cancer, Jupiter will square (clash with) Saturn and then Neptune between June 15-19. This is when the energy will peak, but it will colour the entire month of June.
When two planets form a square, their energies conflict. And here, the conflict is between expansion (Jupiter) and contraction (Saturn). And this time, Neptune joins the party, calling for a major reality check. If you've been over-optimistic about something, or if you have the rose-coloured glasses on, you might find yourself face-to-face with the unvarnished reality.
But, there is good news, too. Saturn and Neptune will be within 1° of one another in Aries. And that's a major creation aspect: you can bring a cherished dream into reality if it hits your chart just right.

If you are an Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn born with the Sun in the early degrees of the sign, this energy can be impactful for you personally, and in a big way. The same applies if you have planets or angles (Ascendant, Descendant, MC or IC) between:
- 27° Pisces - 4° Aries
- 27° Gemini - 4° Cancer
- 27° Virgo - 4° Libra
- 27° Sagittarius - 4° Capricorn
The good news is, this square is the only tense aspect Jupiter is going to make while in Cancer. In the fall, Saturn will retrograde into Pisces, and we will experience a....
Jupiter-Saturn Trine: A Wish-Come-True Aspect
This is a magnificent energy! It will peak on Nov. 11, 2025, but both Jupiter and Saturn will be changing direction in November, moving very slowly, so this beautiful, highly supportive aspect will stay active through entire November.
In the second half of November, Jupiter, Saturn, and the planets in Scorpio will align into an exquisite Grand Trine. Yes, yes, I'm waxing superlatives here, but that's how EXITED I'm about this aspect (and now I'm throwing capitals into the mix 😂)
Neptune will be in the mix too, 4° away from Saturn, in Pisces.
Think about it this way: Jupiter (abundance) meets Neptune (magic), and Saturn helps to bring this magic into the physical realm. It's another aspect of creation!
Get excited about this trine if you have planets or angles (Ascendant, Descendant, MC or IC) between:
- 22° - 30° Pisces
- 22° - 30° Cancer
- 22° - 30° Scorpio
The Jupiter-Saturn and Jupiter-Neptune trines will repeat in the summer of 2026, in Leo (Jupiter) and Aries (Saturn and Neptune).
Let Me Tell You a Little-Known Secret...
Jupiter slows down in the skies before it changes direction (just like any other planet) - which astrologers refer to as "stationing". And, if it just so happens that Jupiter's station falls close to your personal planets or the angles in your natal chart, you can have an extended period of opportunities!
Jupiter will be stationed at 24-25° Cancer between October 16 - December 8 2025. Pay attention if you see your birth date mentioned below! You will be the lucky recipient of an extended stretch of opportunities, lasting from approx. late September to late December 2025.
- Pisces born March 12-18
-
Cancer born July 15-20
- Scorpio born November 14-19
The same will apply if you have planets or angles (Ascendant, Descendant, MC or IC) between 22-27° Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio.
And Now for Some Horoscopes!
And here is also a brief forecast for each Ascendant Sign. If you don't know your Ascendant sign, read the forecast below as if it's for your Sun sign (read "Leo Ascendant" if you're a Leo).
One quick technical note: this forecast is based on the Whole Sign house system (i.e. 1st House starts at 0 degree Aries). If you use the Placidus House System, then some of the interpretations below may be imprecise.
Remember that a Jupiter transit through your natal chart is only one part of the picture! If you want to have a full lowdown on the energies coming into your life in the next 12 months, try this reading.

Ahhh fantastic! There may be new opportunities and beginnings in life; new romantic and/or business partnerships are possible. Your charisma is increased, and people and opportunities flock to you. April 2024 will be a particularly magnetic time.

A great time for career opportunities, and for being “in the public eye”. Build a relationship with your boss - it will be helpful for you later on! Jupiter in the 10th House can bring accolades that feel "undeserved" (for example, your team's accomplishments can be attributed to you as their boss, even though you didn't participate or provide guidance).

Capricorn Ascendant:
Or, Jupiter in the 7th House...
Excellent! When I see Jupiter going through the client’s 7th House, there is often a new relationship – one that you benefit from! (even though it might not be your forever). This person will bring something of value into your life. For those already hitched, there is an opportunity for the relationship to grow and flourish. There can be positive developments in business relationships, new business partnerships, and beneficial contracts.
One thing to keep in mind: as Jupiter enters Cancer, it will square Saturn and Neptune that have just entered your 4th House of Home and Family. This might not be the best time to buy or sell a home, as you might feel over-optimistic and not see the situation as clearly as you should.
Aquarius Ascendant:
This is an opportune time for improving your health through lifestyle changes.
There can also be positive developments in your work environment (for example, positive relationships with your teammates, recognition for your contributions, your physical working environment changes for the better).
I got unexpectedly upgraded to a big huge office with a bank of windows and a view, when Jupiter last visited my 6th House! Note that Jupiter here is not about new jobs, promotions, or breathtaking career opportunities. It's about your working environment - your physical space, job duties, or people you work with.
It’s also a great time to get a pet.
Jupiter will be going through your 6th House.
Pisces Ascendant:
New romantic opportunities that bring joy; great energy for creative pursuits and self-expression. Your luck increases. If you have children, there may be good developments in their life. And, if you’re thinking of starting a family, Jupiter in your 5th House lends support!

Taurus Ascendant:
An auspicious time for writing, speaking and media-related pursuits. A great energy for developing new skills and interests, that will bring enjoyment. If you need to improve your relationship with neigbours or siblings, the energy is supportive! It may be a socially busy year.
Jupiter will be going through your 3rd House.
Gemini Ascendant:
Jupiter in your 2nd House! Nice! It's a prime period to manifest abundance. Great for financial growth, and for increasing your knowledge of financial matters. But, before all of this wonderful financial growth comes into your life, work on your sense of self-worth. Yes, you ARE worthy of all this abundance!! Why wouldn't you be? If you have any self-limiting beliefs related to money, now is the time to work on them as well.
