On June 9th, 2025, at 5:02pm EDT, Jupiter changes signs from versatile, fast-thinking Gemini to nurturing, family-oriented Cancer. It journeys through this protective, vulnerable Water sign until June 29th, 2026.

Ask yourself: Where do I look for wisdom and understanding? Where do I need movement and spaciousness? Where do I hold perspectives or beliefs that come from my social conditioning?

Where does Jupiter-in-Cancer fall in your birth chart? What aspects does it make during this transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next?
What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where might you experience a major expansion between now and June 2026? Where are you ready to experience more curiosity, adaptability, and exchange of information with others?
If you’d like more insight into those questions, I invite you to check out my webinar on the subject: “Optimism & Generosity with Loved Ones — An Exploration of Jupiter in Cancer“— we applied Jupiter’s movement to our own birth charts! (available after June 14th, 2025)
