The expansive planet, Jupiter, heads to Cancer on June 9th, 2025, and it’ll stay in this zodiac sign for just over one year. This is the start of a new Jupiter cycle, which focuses on opportunities and new beginnings.
This follows up Saturn’s entrance into Aries (May 24th), joining Neptune, and Uranus is on the way to Gemini in about a month (July 7th).
We’ve got a lot of planetary changes happening, and Jupiter is just the latest! Thankfully, Jupiter doesn’t have any lessons to teach or monkey wrenches to throw in our plans. (Phew!)
Jupiter doesn’t like for things to get difficult, complicated, or stressful, so we can look forward to this new Jupiter energy.

About Jupiter in Astrology
Jupiter is what’s called a social planet (along with Saturn), forming the bridge between the personal planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) and the outer generational planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto).
But while Saturn is the disciplinarian and teacher, Jupiter is the happy planet. Jupiter can’t stand anything bad, and only wants to bring good into our lives!
The base energy of Jupiter is to expand, and being the happy planet, Jupiter tries to expand on the positives. But, it can sometimes expand on the negatives. (Just know that when that happens, you always have an opportunity to get out of the jam quickly.)
Where you need expansion and space personally can be found through the placement of Jupiter in your natal chart, both zodiac sign and house. If your natal Jupiter is conjunct (aligned with) any other planet, that planet benefits from some Jupiter juice!
Expansion becomes available to everyone with transit, or moving, Jupiter, and we all get to focus on opportunities for new beginnings, new experiences, and exploration with whatever the sign transit Jupiter is in rules.
And over the next year, that’s Cancer!
About Cancer in Astrology
Cancer is a Water sign, along with Scorpio and Pisces, and the Water signs are the signs of emotion.
Cancer is also a Cardinal sign, along with Aries, Libra, and Capricorn, and the Cardinal signs are considered the leaders of the zodiac.
The combo of Water + Cardinal means that Cancer is motivated by what it feels, and lives its life guided by emotion. Cancer is considered the sign of emotion, and it needs emotional support, comfort, and familiarity.
The natural ruling planet for Cancer is the Moon, the planet of emotions. The Moon ebbs and flows, controlling our tides, and like the ocean, the Moon sways the emotion of Cancer.
Cancer connects with the 4th house, the house of home and family. This house shows our upbringing, what we want and need from our home environment, and the kind of family we can create.
Cancer and the 4th house are the bottom of the zodiac, so Cancer also connects with internal foundations and our core selves. With a solid foundation, Cancer is capable of anything!
The downside of Cancer is usually subjectivity. It gets so caught up in what it’s feeling that it has a hard time seeing beyond that. But when it can, it can be incredibly nurturing and understanding.
About Jupiter in Cancer
Now it’s time for the good stuff.
What is the impact on everyone with Jupiter touring Cancer?
Obviously, with Cancer being the sign of emotion and big on feelings, Jupiter in Cancer is going to have a direct impact on what we’re all feeling.
For the most part, this is going to be positive since Jupiter is the optimistic planet who only wants the good, so we’re far more likely to be looking on the bright side of all situations over the next year.
In some cases, this might expand bad feelings (remember that Jupiter’s base energy is to expand), so when we’re feeling bad, it might feel like it’s worse than usual. But recall that there’s always a quick way out with Jupiter, so don’t dwell – get moving!
With Cancer connecting to the home and family, the next year can find many of us on the move to new locations, even if we don’t think we’re moving right now. We may prioritize homes that have more space, which can mean bigger, or simply a more open layout.
It doesn’t have to be moving though, and can instead be making changes to your home or living space like renovating and remodeling, and the choices made can give more space for all. We can also see people moving in, or moving out.
With family, we may see the expansion of family with relatives getting married or having children. Cancer is not just blood, but also those you think of as family, so you may meet new people that you have an instant connection with and become a part of your found family too.
Since Cancer is the bottom of the zodiac, this period with Jupiter in Cancer is excellent for starting from the ground up with anything. Pick a project, plan, or idea that excites you, and work on those small steps to get it off of the ground.
Jupiter in Cancer provides an opportunity for us to strengthen ourselves internally as well, at our core, and to have a solid internal foundation to grow from. This helps to stabilize us emotionally.
Right away, there will be a New Moon in Cancer on June 25th, 2025, that will be aligned with Jupiter in Cancer, so opportunities can come quick as lightning with this transit. Make the most of the doors that open with that New Moon!
As 2025 began, Mars was retrograde (appearing to move backward) and moved to Cancer on January 6th, which lasted until February 23rd. That might have dug up some major challenges emotionally, at home, with family, or with the foundation of something.
Jupiter in Cancer (especially paired with the New Moon) provides a chance to straighten that out for good (and it might feel like, FINALLY!).
Jupiter in Cancer for the Zodiac Signs
Aries
Jupiter in Cancer helps you on a personal level, Aries, and you can focus on opportunities to improve home and family matters, the foundation of something shaky, or yourself emotionally.
Look around your home. Does it feel like a comfortable safe space? If not, you can feel motivated over the next year to change that.
Think about your family, and those you think of as family. Are your connections secure and healthy? If not, you can work to improve that, and may prioritize spending more time with them.
Is there anything in your life that feels shaky? Jupiter in Cancer can be your chance to make it strong, and you can build something strong on top of it.
You can feel in tune with your emotions, and this can help you in a lot of ways. You can be more secure, you can understand your emotional needs, and you can expand your support system.
Starting a new venture from the ground up can be the biggest for you out of everyone, so think about how you can do that. What you begin can culminate in about 5-6 years, so it can be long-term. Get excited about it!
Potential Opportunities for Aries With Jupiter in Cancer:
- The chance to move or expand your home in some way
- Spending more time with family or those you think of as family
- Starting a project, plan, or idea from the bottom
- Gaining emotional security and stability
Taurus
Jupiter in Cancer focuses on your mind, Taurus, and you can find you’re coming up with lots of new ideas, putting together new plans, and getting more excited by what you’re able to come up with.
Opportunities can come quickly for you to take action with your ideas, so stick with them and don’t jump from one to the next. You can juggle a lot, and have a better ability to multitask, but you don’t want to overdo it.
One of your ideas can be a diamond, so don’t dismiss them offhand, and definitely don’t let them sit idle. Take action when you have the chance and ability, and something can take off.
You can be more active in general, and this can mean you’re on the go more than usual. You can fill up your schedule, and can do well in social situations since your ability to communicate can be improved.
You can be more open expressing yourself and what’s on your mind, and this helps to boost your confidence, as well as connect with others.
Nurture your mind as much as you can. Learn something new, take a class, do some writing, pick up a podcast, and gather and share information.
Potential Opportunities for Taurus With Jupiter in Cancer:
- Taking action with an exciting idea
- Traveling more (short distances or short trips)
- Improving communication
- Getting educated
Gemini
Jupiter in Cancer means Jupiter leaves your sign, Gemini, and you’ve had the benefit of lucky Jupiter for the last year. You’ve had opportunities to expand, explore, and experience life with optimism and a sense of adventure!
This slows down as Jupiter leaves your sign, and you focus instead on trying to ground yourself, stabilize your life, and improve your sense of security. With all the last year brought for you, you want to make sure it sticks and doesn’t fade away.
Assess what you can do to make sure of that. What steps can you take, which plans can you put together, and how can you alter your approach?
One excellent use of this energy is financial, and you may find that the next year is one of the best of your life when it comes to money. Make the most of any financial opportunities that come your way – it could put you in a great spot!
New resources can also become available to you, which helps with stability and security, and you can become more resourceful with what you already have. Expand on abundance.
It can also be a good period to improve your confidence. If you’ve wavered at any point in the last year, take time over the next one to be more secure with who you are and find your worth.
Potential Opportunities for Gemini With Jupiter in Cancer:
- Expanding and improving your financial situation
- Accessing new resources
- Connecting with your body or nature
- Being more present
Cancer
Jupiter is moving to your sign, Cancer, and you’re about to benefit from lucky Jupiter! When Jupiter tours your sign, it’s one of the luckiest periods of your life, and you can see opportunities coming out of the woodwork.
You’ve likely spent the last year in solitude and quiet mode, clearing out baggage and preparing yourself for the new things to come. That quiet can go away now, and life can get loud!
This is an amazing time for a big new beginning, so focus on an idea, plan, or project that gets you really excited. You can find the courage you need to get it started and take the initiative without waiting for permission.
This can be with anything you want. There really is no limit for you over the next year, and you can enjoy all of the new experiences you get to have and learn from.
Jupiter in your sign also gives you a more optimistic nature, and you want to see the good in all. You can see the big picture more clearly, and this allows you to realize so much more is possible than you’d thought.
A sense of adventure and a bold spirit can help you get going. Keep it up!
Potential Opportunities for Cancer With Jupiter in Cancer:
- Any kind of big new beginning
- New experiences you can learn from
- New places you can visit
- Connecting with the big picture
Leo
Jupiter in Cancer can be a quieter time for you, Leo, and you can dedicate more time to being alone. You can enjoy the time to yourself, and feel you do your best work without others getting in the way.
Time alone gives you an opportunity to focus on the past, baggage, and what you need to finish or let go of. You can take advantage of opportunities to do that, and end up clearing out a lot of unnecessary junk (literal and figurative).
You can feel more connected to your subconscious, which helps you understand yourself better, the past better, and other people better. This can be a great opportunity to become consciously aware of ways you’ve held yourself back, and work on improving that.
Your spirituality and intuition can grow stronger, and you can become more interested in spiritual ventures and subjects, and work to expand your intuition. Pay close attention to your dreams since they may have great messages for you.
Inspiration can easily come to you, and your imagination can soar. If you’re an artist, you could produce your greatest work yet, but even if you’re not, your creativity can be a lot higher.
This period is one that prepares you for the next Jupiter cycle because Jupiter moves into your sign next year. That can blow the lid off of everything, so you want to be as prepared as possible to maximize the opportunities to come.
Potential Opportunities for Leo With Jupiter in Cancer:
- Time alone to prepare
- Expanding your spirituality
- Improving your intuition
- Finishing something or clearing something big
Virgo
Jupiter in Cancer can direct your attention to your dreams for the future, Virgo, and you can get excited by the dreams you have. Opportunities can come your way to make progress and get closer, and for some of you, success can be at hand, and you can fulfill a dream.
Since the future can be more important to you, you can be open to being more independent and unconventional. You might push yourself outside of your comfort zone a little at a time, and it can add up to make a big difference.
In spite of doing things differently, you can still remain true to yourself. You can understand your identity better, what makes you tick, and how you stand out from the crowd, and can become more comfortable with that.
Jupiter in Cancer can also bring opportunities for you to expand your social circle, and you can meet lots of new people who become fast friends. Existing friendships can bloom even more, and you may get opportunities thanks to your friendships.
You can be more comfortable with groups as well, and might join a new group focused on something you’re passionate about.
You may feel more aware and in tune with the collective, and want to have a positive impact on the world as a result. Pick a cause you can champion, and do some good.
Potential Opportunities for Virgo With Jupiter in Cancer:
- Make progress with your dreams
- Have more independence
- Join a group or pick up a cause
- Make new friends
Libra
Get ready for one of the most successful periods of your life, Libra! Jupiter in Cancer can bring great opportunities for success and achievement, and it can come fast and furious, so buckle up!
Any goals you’ve been working on for some time, and have done right by, and are passionate about, can see opportunities for big accomplishments. You can hit new heights, and get the recognition you deserve.
This attention can put you in front of important people, the right people in the right places, and you can make a good impression on them. Your work ethic and smart choices can be impressive.
This can come with more responsibilities, but you can handle it well. Other people can see you as more capable, and you can step into a leadership role with ease.
Now, if you haven’t had a goal, haven’t done things the right way, or haven’t had good motivations, you may not see the big success. There is still the chance for it though, if you can make a committed goal and get on the right path.
You absolutely don’t want to miss out on this chance, so get focused, get disciplined, get smart, and get moving!
Potential Opportunities for Libra With Jupiter in Cancer:
- Success with goals you’ve work on for a long time, are passionate about, and have taken the right approach with
- Getting recognition from the right people
- Taking the lead and being responsible
- Setting new goals and getting on the right path in life
