Intuitive Astrology: Jupiter in Cancer 2025-2026

On June 9, 2025, Jupiter will enter Cancer, where it will remain until July 1st, 2026.

Traditional astrology texts refer to Jupiter as the “lucky” planet. In intuitive astrology, we tend to use planets for their lessons and gifts rather than look at them as lucky or unlucky, but it’s interesting to note that this is the label Jupiter has earned.

As the “lucky” planet, Jupiter has earned a gold star reputation for bringing abundance, positive inspirations, and silver linings, which is why when it moves into a new sign of the zodiac, the sign is said to be the celestial favorite for the next 12 months.

On June 9, the celestial favorite will become Cancer! Of course, while it’s fun to feel like the favorite, the Universe doesn’t pick sides. But I hope anyone reading this with a strong Cancer in their chart finds it as an excuse to feel extra lucky this year!

Putting luck aside, Jupiter is the expander. It shines a spotlight, allowing us to see the bigger picture. Jupiter’s energy can empower us, allowing us to also see solutions and ways we can work through whatever is coming up for us. Jupiter can also speed up our manifestation efforts, as it expands what we are putting out into the Universe.

In intuitive astrology, we also look to Jupiter to help bring about an awakening. As Jupiter expands, we are able to see with greater clarity any habits or situations that are no longer serving us. Jupiter also gives us greater awareness, as it expands things for us to focus on and pay attention to.

In many ways, Jupiter’s ability to expand things helps us to look at the quality of our lives and what needs to be addressed. Jupiter can expand both blessings and problems, but all of it aims to get us to a new and higher level of consciousness.

Jupiter in Cancer June 2025-June 2026

As Jupiter enters Cancer, we are going to find a new area of our lives expanded. Cancer energy concentrates around our hearts, so this can be a very heart-expanding energy to work with. We may find ourselves growing in compassion and feeling more sensitive and connected to our emotions.

As Cancer is a water sign and is ruled by the Moon, we may also find our bodies more connected to the lunar cycles. We may also find water more healing or find ourselves drawn to spending time near the water.

Cancer is also a sign that is connected to our home and family life, so Jupiter may expand this theme for us. Issues around our home and family life may come up, or we may feel the desire to connect with this part of our being.

The sign of Cancer is also connected to the feminine and our mother wounds. We may find a deepening relationship with our mother during this time and with the feminine. Alternatively, the mother within us may be activated in some way.

Security is also very much part of the vibration of cancer. We feel secure when we are loved and cared for. When we feel secure, it allows us to feel brave and to stand up for ourselves and all that we care about.

This feeling of security is one of the highest vibrations Cancer energy can offer us, making Jupiter’s entrance here a fantastic time to focus on creating more security in our own lives. By feeling secure and confident in ourselves, we can also access the incredible abundance and growth opportunities that Jupiter brings.
