On June 9th, 2025, Jupiter leaves Gemini and enters Cancer. Jupiter will stay in Cancer for just over 1 year, until June 30th, 2026.

Jupiter retrogrades on November 12th, 2025, at 25° Cancer, and goes direct on March 11th, 2026, at 15° Cancer, emphasizing this area of the sign.

During its stay in the sign, Jupiter will be involved in some very interesting aspects – including several Grand Water Trines – so there’s a lot to be looking forward to!

Jupiter in Cancer 2025–2026 – A Once Every 12-Year Transit

Jupiter’s ingress into Cancer is one of the most important transits of the year. Why?
Because Jupiter spends approx. 1 year in each sign, so when it changes signs, it’s kind of a big deal – because our yearly priorities change.

Jupiter is a tangible, relatable influence. While it’s the outer planets – Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus – that are the movers and shakers behind the scenes, it’s Jupiter (and Saturn) that shape our everyday experience and help us make sense of where we’re going.

Of course, there’s another reason why astrology lovers follow Jupiter’s transits with great interest: Jupiter is the ‘great benefic’ in astrology – so its placement shows what areas of life tend to attract opportunities, flow more naturally, and find easy momentum.

When Jupiter changes signs, it moves into a different whole sign house in our natal charts, shifting its influence to a different sector of our life, pointing to where these opportunities and sense of ease and growth will unfold.

As a general vibe, Jupiter’s shift from Gemini into Cancer will be quite a noticeable transition! Cancer is VERY different from Gemini, so Jupiter in Cancer will bring a very different energy compared to Jupiter in Gemini.

Gemini is intellectual, curious, and scattered. Cancer is emotional, nurturing, and rooted in safety. At a collective level, we’ll feel more Cancerian themes emerging – especially in terms of the beliefs and frameworks that guide our lives.

With Jupiter entering Cancer, our focus, priorities, and approach to growth and meaning will shift. We’ll be less scattered – and more attuned to what creates a sense of emotional security and belonging.

Things will no longer have to sound good. They have to feel right.

Jupiter – Our Personal Mantra

Before we analyze the transit itself – let’s talk about Jupiter.

Jupiter is perhaps one of the most misunderstood planets. Not in the same way as Neptune – Neptune is a mystery by DNA – but because the generic keywords we associate with Jupiter, such as “beliefs,” are often too vague and abstract to be useful.

So let’s get back to basics.

We know that in astrology Jupiter rules things like law, religion, philosophy, and overarching worldviews – all systems that provide a frame of reference for interpreting and navigating life. 

This means that everything we do, think, or aim for is rooted in our Jupiterian way of making sense of the world.

Someone with Jupiter in Sagittarius will be naturally optimistic – they believe everything will work out in the end – which is why Jupiter in Sagittarius is often considered a ‘lucky’ placement.

When we believe things will work out, our statistical chances of succeeding are actually higher, simply because we stay open and engaged.

Someone with Jupiter in Scorpio, on the other hand, believes there’s always a hidden agenda –  that things are never quite what they seem.

This naturally makes them less optimistic than Jupiter in Sagittarius folks, but also more prepared to deal with the darker side of life. When a truth bomb drops, everyone else is surprised… except Jupiter in Scorpio, who already sensed the underworld behind the scenes.

So you could think of Jupiter as your personal mantra – that overarching principle that guides everything you think, do, and the way you operate in life.

People with Jupiter in Aries believe the world is an arena where they’re on their own, and they have to fight to win. Jupiter in Aries is the gladiator of the zodiac.

Their inner mantra might be “I’m a survivor, I’m not gon’ give up, I’m not gon’ stop.” Naturally, this shapes their approach to life and motivates them to charge ahead with boldness.

Jupiter in Taurus’s mantra is along the lines of “I am the Queen/King of my own castle” – their sense of security, autonomy, and self-reliance is the driving force behind everything they do. They grow best when they have stability, time, and space to build something lasting, on their own terms.

Jupiter in Gemini’s mantra is “Everything is figureout-able” – giving a hands-on, curious approach to life. Jupiter in Gemini collects ideas, makes connections, and experiments freely – though this can also bring a scattered focus or difficulty committing to a long-term path.

What about Jupiter in Cancer?

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer – which means the emotional, intuitive, and nurturing qualities of Cancer naturally align with Jupiter’s expansive qualities like optimism, coherence, and abundance. 

Jupiter in Cancer reminds us of the benevolence of the universe – that the world is actually a good and safe place to be in. Something along the lines of Matthew’s quote: “Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.”

This idea implies two important things:

1. We all have – we are not starting from nothing → Jupiter in Cancer reminds us of the talents and resources we already hold – internal or external.
2. What we have can be further expanded →  Jupiter in Cancer emphasizes that real growth starts from what already exists. We can’t amplify what we don’t have – but when we focus on what we do have, even if small, it can grow into something much greater.

Jupiter in Cancer teaches us that recognizing, being grateful for and capitalizing on our own resources is the key to unlocking greater abundance.

Regardless of your natal Jupiter sign, in the year ahead we’ll all be under the influence of Jupiter in Cancer’s mantra, which says: nurture what matters, and it will multiply.

Jupiter In Cancer – Exaltation Sign

One really great thing about this transit is that Jupiter is exalted in Cancer – this means Jupiter feels at its very best in this sign.

Jupiter’s exaltation in Cancer might not seem immediately obvious. Why Cancer?

Cancer is equated to safety; Jupiter, to expansion and abundance.

However, when you think about it, the link, the causality is there – the more we feel safe, the more we allow ourselves to grow. Someone who doesn’t feel safe will never feel truly ‘ready’ or confident enough to take risks, because their energy is tied up in survival.

But when we have that inner foundation in place, we can stretch beyond our comfort zone.
Jupiter feels good in Cancer because its energy works best when growth (Jupiter) is paired with safety and nurturing (Cancer).

In Cancer, Jupiter expands whatever we choose to nurture – our home, our family, our inner world, our personal projects and investments – everything that is meaningful to us.

Cancer is a water sign, and Jupiter brings abundance – together, they create a fountain of emotional and creative richness.

In its Cancer exaltation, Jupiter helps us birth to what’s meaningful to us. 

Jupiter In Cancer – The Aspects

Soon after Jupiter enters Cancer, on June 15th, 2025, Jupiter squares Saturn (at 1° Aries) and then, a few days later, on June 18th, 2025, Neptune (at 1° Aries).

Neptune and Saturn in Aries are here to give us the vision and structure to follow a personal dream.

The Jupiter square is first challenging the feasibility of this personal dream. Have you really looked into it? Could it actually work? What needs better foundations? What needs a change of mindset, or a shift in focus?

Cancer is a “safety first” sign, so Jupiter in Cancer will initially temper the Aries enthusiasm – not for the sake of killing the dream, quite the contrary – but to make sure that we root it into emotional truth, practical realism, and long-term sustainability.

And after these squares initiate the right type of action –  comes the nice part of the Jupiter in Cancer transit.

In October–November 2025, Jupiter (at 24–25° Cancer) will trine Saturn and Neptune, which temporarily slip back into Pisces. This trine feels like the hands of the universe at work – offering a smoothing-over, divine support moment before Neptune and Saturn move permanently into Aries.

Jupiter will support them again in 2026, when it moves into Leo and forms another trine to both planets.

There’s even more nuance to the Jupiter trine to Saturn and Neptune. In October 2025, Mercury and Mars in Scorpio will also trine those same degrees to form a beautiful Grand Water Trine, and in November, the Sun and Venus reach the third decan of Scorpio, forming another Grand Water Trine.

October–November 2025 is an especially smooth time to anchor a new dream, build emotional and creative momentum, and feel supported by both the universe and those around you.

Jupiter In Cancer – General Influences

In the past, Jupiter in Cancer transits have marked periods of emotional recalibration, social reform, and a renewed focus on the concept of “home.”

During previous Jupiter in Cancer transits (1989–1990, 2001–2002, 2013–2014), we saw a strong focus on homeland, family, and belonging. Events like the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the 9/11 attacks in 2001, or the election of Pope Francis in 2013 reflected this energy. 

These transits brought reforms aimed at strengthening human rights and offering a deeper sense of security and home to broader groups in society.

Of course, if we want to understand what Jupiter in Cancer will truly bring this time, we need to remember that Jupiter doesn’t operate in isolation, but under the greater ‘choreography’ of the outer planets – Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus.

Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus are now in completely different signs than they were in 1989, 2001, or 2013.

Right now, with Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus all changing signs one after the other, we are undergoing a massive shift — dramatic change at a scale we haven’t witnessed in decades. 

The world is changing — moving from a Capricorn/Pisces agenda of control, institutions, and passive faith to an era defined by individual empowerment, direct action, and conscious innovation.

So Jupiter in Cancer will operate under the umbrella of this larger agenda, helping nourish those projects rooted in personal meaning, freedom, and innovation.

In 2025–2026 and beyond, the world is increasingly favoring those who dare – to follow their personal dream, to challenge the status quo, to stay true to themselves, and make a real difference from the heart outward.

Passivity will no longer be the path. Aries (with Neptune and Saturn there) is a cardinal sign. Cancer (with Jupiter) is a cardinal sign. This is a call to get out there and ‘dare’ to care, dare to grow, and dare to create something new — starting from what matters most.

Jupiter In Cancer In Your Natal Chart

How will Jupiter in Cancer influence you at a personal level? 

When we want to understand what to expect from a particular transit, a good place to start is by looking at past transits. Anyone can do this analysis – even if you don’t know any astrology.

The last times Jupiter was in Cancer were from June 2013 to July 2014, July 2001 to August 2002, and July 1989 to August 1990.

What was going on in your life back then? One particular event won’t define Jupiter in Cancer’s influence – but if you notice common themes, then there’s definitely a thread to follow.

Of course, our life is more than just a little bit of history repeating.

No transit is the same – and this particular Jupiter in Cancer transit comes with its unique context and energetic backdrop.

To tune into its influence, start by paying attention to any shifts that emerge around the time of the ingress. Any new interests? Emotional shifts? Does something suddenly become top of mind? What used to dominate your attention when Jupiter was in Gemini will begin to fade, as focus shifts to the Cancer sector of your chart.

The Cancer house in your chart will reveal more about the area of life that will be under Jupiter’s influence. 

And any aspects Jupiter makes to your natal planets or angles will further personalize the experience, showing how this expansion energy interacts with your psyche and life path.

>> RESET – Jupiter in Cancer, Uranus in Gemini, Saturn in Aries, Neptune in Aries <<

June 2025 continues the powerful wave of planetary ingresses.

After Neptune entered Aries in March, and Saturn followed in May, Jupiter is the next big player to shift signs – moving into the nurturing sign of Cancer on June 9th, 2025.

One day before the ingress, Mercury and Jupiter meet in the very last degree of Gemini for a final word, insight, or revelation before Jupiter wraps up its time in the sign.

Whatever is revealed, it’s going to be very interesting – and likely not without a BANG, considering the energy of the anaretic (29th) degree. This might be the moment of truth that changes the game.

But let’s take a look at the most important transits of the month:

June 6th, 2025 – Venus Enters Taurus

On June 6th, 2025, Venus enters her home sign, Taurus. This is a great transit for all things Venus – beauty, pleasure, feeling good in our bodies, and harmonious social connections. 

However, this is not your usual Venus in Taurus – at least not a few weeks from now. Before leaving the sign, Venus will meet Uranus for a final, surprising revelation. 

Expect a twist in relationships, finances, or values that pushes you to embrace something more authentic and aligned 😉

June 8th, 2025 – Mercury Conjunct Jupiter

On June 8th, 2025, Mercury is conjunct Jupiter at 29° Gemini. This is a powerful culmination point just before both Mercury and Juptiter leave Gemini – a moment of realization, announcement, or decision. 

With the conjunction happening at the anaretic degree, the message is loud and clear. Something important is being wrapped up, signed off, or brought into full awareness.

Mercury is in domicile in Gemini, and Jupiter amplifies the message with confidence and clarity. This is a great day for communication, making decisions, launching content, or receiving meaningful insights.

No more confusion, no more second-guessing – this is a green light moment for whatever you’ve been planning or waiting to put into motion.

June 8th, 2025 – Mercury Enters Cancer

Soon after, Mercury slips into Cancer, beginning its yearly journey through the sign. 

In Cancer, Mercury articulates what we feel, not just what we think – helping us express emotions, connect more deeply with others, and communicate from the heart.

June 9th, 2025, Jupiter Enters Cancer

On June 9th, 2025, Jupiter leaves Gemini and enters Cancer. Jupiter only changes signs once a year, so this is a big deal! 

Think of Jupiter like a long-term project we dedicate one full year to completing. This might not be as intensive or structured as getting a degree (that’s more of a Saturn-type project), but it’s still significant enough to shape our focus for an entire year.

This means that in your chart, Jupiter moves away from one sector of your life and begins expanding another.

The exciting thing about this ingress is that Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, so it feels very at home, and can easily channel its blessings and abundance in this fertile sign.

In Gemini, Jupiter was in detriment, so it wasn’t able to operate at full capacity. Jupiter in Cancer is a welcome shift for all of us – more supportive, emotionally fulfilling, and aligned with what matters to us.

The not-so-good news is that as soon as it enters Cancer, Jupiter forms a square to Saturn (and shortly after, with Neptune), which both recently moved into Aries. 

These squares can bring some growing pains – especially around balancing structure (Saturn), dreams (Neptune), and expansion (Jupiter). But this initial tension sets the stage for deeper growth.

The good news? This is as intense as it will get. Jupiter will pretty much have a blast afterward. 

Later this year, it will form a magnificent Grand Trine with Saturn and Neptune (when they both retrograde back into the last degrees of Pisces), and with the planets in Scorpio. But we’ll dive deeper into that beautiful alignment closer to the time.

Until then, pay close attention to whatever shifts, realizations, or opportunities emerge when Jupiter changes signs on this date – and in the days that follow.

June 11th, 2025 – Full Moon In Sagittarius

On June 11th, 2025, we have a Full Moon at 20° Sagittarius. This is a bold and adventurous Full Moon, trine Mars in Leo and Chiron in Aries! We’re looking at a beautiful Grand Trine that inspires us to heal our spirit.

This is the kind of Full Moon that says: be unapologetically yourself. There’s tremendous power in letting go of the pressure to perform, to please, or to fit into roles that were never truly ours.

When we stop trying to be someone else or meet expectations that aren’t aligned with who we are, something shifts.

In this Sagittarius light, the truth will truly set us free. And what a good feeling that is!

June 15th, 2025 – Jupiter Square Saturn

On June 15th, Jupiter (at 1° Cancer) squares Saturn (at 1° Aries). While this is the first Jupiter-Saturn square in new signs, we’re actually looking at the final square in the current Jupiter-Saturn cycle. 

We already had two previous squares while Jupiter was in Pisces and Saturn in Pisces. And while this one might feel a bit different – because it brings new context, and a sense of urgency – but at its core, we’re still working through the same ongoing themes. 

Now we move from mutable to cardinal energy. Mutable signs like to explore possibilities, stay open, and adapt – but sometimes that means we float along without making real progress. Cardinal signs, on the other hand, initiate change. They take charge.

This square between Jupiter and Saturn invites us to get serious and start laying foundations for the life we actually want to build.

What do we want? What is our newly clarified goal (Jupiter)? And what kind of effort, discipline, and structure (Saturn) are we truly willing to commit to in order to make it real?

This square demands meaningful adjustments – the kind that move us forward and help us break free from old patterns or inertia.

June 17th, 2025 – Mars Enters Virgo

On June 17th, 2025, Mars enters Virgo, giving us the stamina to focus, organize, and get things done. This is a highly productive, highly efficient transit – think clean systems, sharp thinking, and real results.

Have you ever seen how much Mars in Virgo people get done? That level of productivity is now available to all of us, at least for the next 6 weeks or so. 

Virgo is a mental sign, ruled by Mercury. Mars brings the drive to act, helping Virgo put energy where the ideas are. This is THE time to walk the talk and actually follow through. 

June 18th, 2025 – Jupiter Square Neptune

After squaring Saturn, Jupiter now catches up with Neptune, bringing another layer of readjustment.

Now that we’ve addressed the fundamentals with Saturn, it’s time to go a bit deeper – to explore the underlying visions, ideals, and motivations that drive us.

We are living through incredible times with once-in-a-lifetime transits. Neptune and Saturn are both in Aries and will eventually meet in a powerful conjunction in February 2026, opening the door to turn a personal dream into reality. 

But before that moment arrives, Jupiter square Neptune asks us to confront our prejudices, biases, or inherited beliefs that no longer keep up with the times.

Maybe we’ve held on to certain ideas just because “that’s how it’s always been done”.  

But Neptune will now expose the limitations of always taking the path of least resistance – which, ironically, can become a path of great resistance over time – a stagnant swamp where we stay stuck, simply because we’re afraid to question the deeper why.

This transit invites us to clear the fog, realign with our deeper truth, and choose a path that reflects not who we used to be – but who we’re becoming. 

June 20th, 2025 – Sun Enters Cancer

On June 20th, 2025, the Sun enters Cancer. Happy birthday to all Cancers out there! 

0° Cancer also marks the Solstice. Solstice means “sun stands still,” signaling a major turning point in the solar cycle – either the beginning of less light in the Northern Hemisphere or more light in the Southern Hemisphere. 

This celestial moment reminds us that Cancer is a cardinal sign – an initiator. 

While Cancer is associated with emotions, home, and care, Cancer season is actually a powerful time to take action, step forward, and venture into new territory – especially when it comes to things that feel personal and meaningful.

June 24th, 2025 – Sun Conjunct Jupiter

On June 24th, 2025, the Sun meets with Jupiter for a powerful conjunction at 3° Cancer, inviting us to align our personal goals and desires with the bigger picture (Jupiter).

Some newly awakened project or ideal can light a spark inside of us, activating our latent life force.

And Cancer means we don’t just dream it – we want to go and manifest it. 

June 25th, 2025 – New Moon In Cancer

On June 25th, 2025, we have a New Moon at 4° Cancer conjunct Jupiter! This is a pretty good one, because the Moon is in her home sign, and Jupiter is exalted here. Normally, that’s a recipe for abundance galore.

Of course, we also have the squares to Saturn and Neptune – so that creative vision might need a bit more work and adjustment. But under the fertile, manifesting waters of Cancer – and with a little help from a Mars sextile – anything is possible.

This is a time to make a wish – some dreams are worth all the trials and tribulations it takes to bring them to life.

RESET – Neptune In Aries, Saturn In Aries, Uranus In Gemini, Jupiter In Cancer

Jupiter in Cancer is one of the 4 planetary ingresses we explore in RESET, Astro Butterfly’s  4-week program designed to make sense of these epochal shifts.

In the program, we focus on one ingress (Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter) each week. 

We join a live webinar and dive into the themes and archetypes at play. We use guided reflection to explore what each ingress means for us personally and collectively. We ask questions and share insights in dedicated Q&A and Reflection calls.

At the end of the 4 weeks, we meet again for a 5th webinar (on June 30th) to apply everything to your natal chart. Here, we’ll look at the houses and planets activated by these ingresses and what they’re asking from you.

All the RESET educational content, frameworks, and exercises are thoughtfully designed to help you build a clear, grounded understanding of the new era we’re entering – as well as the unique role you’re being invited to play in it.

Let’s do this together!

Saturn has entered Aries on May 25th, 2025. 

Saturn starts a new 29-year chapter, which is significant on its own; however, what’s special this time is that it’s happening alongside Neptune’s entry into Aries.

Neptune has recently moved into Aries as well, so we’re not looking at a standalone Saturn influence, but a combined dynamic that needs to be interpreted together.

It’s super important we interpret Saturn in Aries not in isolation – but in the larger context of Neptune in Aries.

If we were to analyze Saturn in Aries alone, we might be more focused on the restrictive and disciplined side of Saturn – structure, responsibility, or self-control.

Say Saturn In Aries and you think of restrictive (Saturn) initiatives (Aries), or or the challenge of balancing caution (Saturn) with courage (Aries).

This time is different.

Neptune (also in Aries, and only 1 degree away) deeply influences the expression of Saturn.

In Aries, Saturn operates under Neptune’s guidance – the goal here is not just to enforce or contain, but to turn the personal (Aries) dream (Neptune) into reality (Saturn).

No more “I can’t.” Fueled by Neptune’s longing for something greater, Saturn in Aries becomes unstoppable.

Saturn And Neptune In Aries – Not Your Usual Conjunction

Saturn and Neptune meet in a conjunction every 36 years, and their cycles have always coincided with pivotal shifts in ideologies (Neptune) taking form through new systems or structures (Saturn).

• 1989 in Capricorn – Cold war ends, walls fall, institutions crack – but everything still passes through hierarchical filters
• 1953 in Libra – Post-WWII world order stabilized through diplomacy, alliances, and social contracts
• 1917 in Leo – The fall of monarchies, rise of state-centered ideologies. Power was dramatic, visible, myth-driven

So the Saturn-Neptune conjunction alone is a big deal. But what about when it occurs at 0 degrees Aries – the very 1st degree of the zodiac?

We are talking about a MASSIVE new beginning, on a scale we haven’t witnessed in thousands of years – certainly not within a human lifetime.

The last time Saturn and Neptune conjuncted at 0 degrees Aries is believed to have occurred more than 9,000 years ago, around 7,000 BC – a period that coincided with the birth of agriculture and the rise of settled human life.

Can we highlight enough the magnitude of this unique event?

From the Capricorn and Pisces era to the Aquarius and Aries era

Of course, it’s not only the uniqueness of the timing that matters, but also the shift in the nature of these transits – specifically, the qualities of the sign they ingress into.

Neptune and Saturn shifted from the last sign of the zodiac – Pisces – into the first sign of the zodiac – Aries. From Omega to Alpha. From 360 to 0.

Together, Neptune and Saturn moving into Aries is bringing a huge paradigm shift – from the Piscean age of connectivity and globalization to an Aries age of self-leadership, initiative, and decentralized power.

This is already happening – we see it in the news, in the local policy shifts, and in our everyday life – and it will only accelerate from here.

Focusing on Neptune in Aries and Saturn in Aries alone could pretty much explain the quality of the shift.

However, when we introduce our RESET frameworks – and include all outer planets -, a whole new level of understanding and big-picture coherence emerges.
