Jupiter, the planet that inspires us to set out on new adventures, to want more out of life, and to travel to distant lands, changes signs and arrives in Cancer on June 9, 2025 for a year-long visit. In Cancer, Jupiter revels in the comfort of home and family.
Jupiter is often labeled as the planet of “growth” in astrology. And while it is a word that is true, it’s narrow in its understanding of Jupiter’s key role.
Without Jupiter, we wouldn’t question. Our world would remain small. We’d be unconsciously stuck in old patterns and routines.
In reality, we grow through each planet — yes, even through the hard lessons of Saturn. It’s just that Jupiter has a richer and more expansive dimension of growth. Keep in mind that Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces. As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces is the finality of the journey through each sign, through each experience.
What was it all for? What do we believe in? Do we have faith? Are we ready to get back on the ride and go on the journey all over again?
In Cancer, Jupiter’s expansive vision and search for meaning will be focused on a sign that is very terrestrial. After all, Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac, the sign of home and family, roots and foundation. While Jupiter loves to travel and explore in its home signs of Sagittarius and Pisces, in Cancer it prefers to remain closer to home.
Traditional astrology says that Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, which is to say that Jupiter (growth, experience, vision, expansion) does some of its best work in Cancer. Should we be so lucky to have a place to call home, to feel as though we are loved and cared for by our family or those who are like family, that we feel a positive connection to the past and memories. Yes, Jupiter in Cancer says, we should be so lucky.
The coming months may inspire us to slow down or settle down, to seek out new experiences that help us to build a sense of connection and family. For some, it will be an opportunity to create a family or to seek out new horizons and places to call home. However, each sign of the zodiac will experience Jupiter differently.
Jupiter will be in Cancer from June 9, 2025 to June 30, 2026. Jupiter was previously in Cancer from June 25, 2013 to July 16, 2014. Before that, July 12, 2001 to August 1, 2002.
Read for your Sun and rising sign.
Aries and Aries Rising: Home, family, moves, the household, past, memories, parents. Jupiter brings a new chapter to your home or within your family. The next twelve months may bring a move or a desire to make grand changes in the home with remodeling and redecorating. Jupiter may bring an additional family member, which for some may coincide with a pregnancy and birth of a child. Overall, there’s a desire to settle down and to seek out the familiarity of the home. The past, memories, and ancestry may be an important theme. There may be a new role to take on with a parent or an enrichment of a relationship with a parent or those who are like parents.
Taurus and Taurus Rising: Education, learning, the mind, communication, the voice, choices. If Jupiter inspires, then the coming twelve months may inspire you to enrich the mind by taking classes that help you to see the world from new perspectives. Writing and speaking may be a prominent theme as Jupiter may bring opportunities to start a manuscript, publish a book, or even do public speaking. Jupiter often plays the role of sharing what it has discovered and learned in order to motivate others. Travel and trips may be a common theme as well. It may be a time to learn to listen to your heart, too.
Gemini and Gemini Rising: Money, income, property, assets, material stability, value, spending. The coming twelve months may bring a big focus towards your material life as Jupiter inspires you to create material stability and security. You may be making more purchases than usual, especially luxuries for the home. Although this won’t be the case for every Gemini, sometimes Jupiter can bring windfalls and increases in income. And sometimes this increase in spending parallels this increase in income. It’s also not uncommon to buy property or purchase a new home under Jupiter’s influence.
Cancer and Cancer Rising: New beginnings, confidence, personal growth, sharing, leadership. Jupiter in Cancer is the start of a new cycle, one that takes on greater significance for those who are Cancer rising. Regardless, Jupiter brings renewal as well as the confidence to strike out on new adventures. Hungry for life and new horizons, there may be a desire for personal growth in the coming months. Jupiter typically amplifies the sign that it is in, so Cancer’s natural nurturing and emotional qualities come to the forefront. So does a need to step into new roles and positions of leadership. For a few, Jupiter can bring pregnancy.
Leo and Leo Rising: Spirituality, inner search, inner discovery, faith, rest, quiet reflection. Jupiter brings you to the end of a long journey, one that began in 2014. If Jupiter inspires us to grow and discover, you will be going inward over the coming months, to seek out deeper wisdom and to reflect on the meaning and purpose of life. Jupiter finds strength in this quiet place within your astrology, a reminder that great voyages are both worldly and other worldly. It will be a time to strengthen spirituality, especially through meditation and prayer. Some may find this a time to release the past and spend time in recovery, tending to the spirit and the body.
Virgo and Virgo Rising: Friends, community, belonging, social issues, humanitarian causes, advocacy. Jupiter is nearing the end of a long journey, one that began in 2015-2016. It’s time to set your sights towards the future. Jupiter inspires you to hope and dream, to have a vision of a better life. New friendships may also enter your life, especially those who feel like family or who bring familiarity. Growth naturally happens through community, whether through new groups or the renewal of existing connections and alliances. Jupiter makes your world bigger through humanitarian themes and causes as well.
Libra and Libra Rising: Career, responsibilities, professional life, public life, reputation, recognition. If Jupiter is growth, then the coming months may inspire you to have the confidence to expand your career and public life. This period may mark promotions or recognition, including larger roles within our personal life, such as becoming a first time parent. That said, there may be job transitions in the coming months, but changes that help you to reach for higher goals and status. Jupiter, ever the benefactor, may inspire you to expand your influence in the world, especially to help others.
Scorpio and Scorpio Rising: Faith, truth, meaning, travel, exploration, publishing, education, storytelling. Jupiter is naturally at home in this space in your chart, a space that wants to travel the world and grow through education as well as experience. The coming months may bring significant voyages or a desire to learn about different cultures and viewpoints. For some, Jupiter brings a significant focus on education, even to become a teacher of others. For others, growth happens through philosophy, a desire to express what you believe in, what you stand for, and what you believe is true. This may also be a natural time to storytell or get published.
Sagittarius and Sagittarius Rising: Inner growth, inner healing, the psyche, emotional courage, legacies, wealth, debt, assets, finance. Jupiter is your ruling planet and each year is like a different focus, an opportunity to live life through a different lens. Cancer is a sign that feels and emotions will be your primary lens for the coming months. There may be a strong desire to be cared and nurtured for. And since Cancer represents your 8th House, the coming months may also inspire you to look inward into the deepest reaches of your psyche. Have faith and confidence to go within, have the courage to open up emotionally, the belief that you have everything you need to navigate life’s ups and downs. For some, the coming months may be a financial focus, whether debt and wealth or estate planning, inheritances, and legacies.
Capricorn and Capricorn Rising: Relationships, partnership, social connection. Jupiter brings growth and inspiration to relationships and the coming months may mark new partnership or a milestone within an existing relationship. For some, it’s a time when Jupiter gives you the confidence to ask what you need or the courage and faith to leave a situation that is no longer working. For others, it may be a time of increased social activity and connection with others. People may come into your life who are like family or who bring additional care and support.
Aquarius and Aquarius Rising: Health, wellness, organization, systems, daily life, projects, work, service. Jupiter is typically a boon for health and wellness, inspiring you to make positive changes in your daily life, including new initiatives in fitness and nutrition. And if Jupiter is what we want more of, then there will be a desire to create new structures and organization to help your life run more smoothly. Cancer has a big heart for Jupiter to express itself with, so this may also bring opportunities to serve and help others.
Pisces and Pisces Rising: Creativity, passion, self expression, identity, talents, gifts, children. Jupiter rules Pisces, which means it rules you. And each year, when Jupiter trades one zodiac sign for another, is an opportunity to focus on a new area of life. Like Pisces, Cancer is a water sign, an element that needs connection, fulfillment, and purpose. The coming months are an inspiration to fill your cup, to nourish yourself with experiences that create a deeper sense of care and purpose. Pisces is always big picture. Cancer helps you to get back to basics and to get back to yourself. For some, the next few months may bring a focus on children and family, especially pregnancy and the creation of a family. Nevertheless, it’s a year-long season for you to reprioritize yourself and to refind the passion of life.
