Jupiter Just Moved Into Cancer—What It Means for Your Zodiac Sign

Jupiter is moving from social Gemini into heartfelt Cancer.

On June 9, 2025, Jupiter moved from buzzy, social Gemini to sweet, sentimental Cancer, where it will stay until March 2026.
The cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, will feel the shift the most.
This shift is associated with abundance, personal growth, luck, knowledge, wisdom, and joy.

The year 2025 has been delivering one game-changing planetary shift after the next, changing the tone of everyday life in more ways than one. And June plays host to the latest celestial switch-up: Jupiter, the planet of abundance, expansion, philosophy, optimism, and spiritual growth, will move into emotionally intuitive, nurturing, and sentimental water sign Cancer, a sign it hasn’t occupied since July 2014.

Jupiter has been in curious, buzzy, communicative, information gathering air sign Gemini since May 2024, which has expanded our focus on technology—especially social media—and fueled outright information overload. But as of June 9, Jupiter will be in Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, launching a little over a year in which you’ll be nudged to envision, crave, and manifest any big picture dreams tied to family life, security, and your emotional well-being. And because Cancer is one of the initiative-taking cardinal signs, you’ll want to adopt an even more go-getter approach to expanding your knowledge, expressing generosity, and attracting more of whatever you’ve been wanting to add to your life. Here’s what to know as you enter this heartfelt new era.

When Is Jupiter in Cancer?

Since May 25, 2024, Jupiter has been in Gemini, but on June 9, 2025, it’ll move forward through the initiative-taking, self-protective water sign Cancer until it goes retrograde there on November 11, 2025, moving backward until March 10, 2026. It’ll cruise ahead once more in Cancer until it enters charismatic fire sign Leo on June 30, 2026.

What Jupiter in Cancer Brings

If you’ve been looking to have more fulfilling experiences, abundance, personal growth, and good luck in a particular area of life, Jupiter is the planet you want on your side. In Cancer, Jupiter will be especially effective at supporting pursuits related to family and home life and bolstering your sense of emotional well-being and security. You’ll find you get the best results when you embrace Cancerian traits, like emotional self-awareness, benevolence, compassion, and openness to being nurtured and nurturing others.

Jupiter is considered the great benefic in astrology, which means the largest planet in our solar system is all about infusing life with more luck, knowledge, wisdom, and joy. And from June 2025 to June 2026, there's potential for even more Jupiterian fortune, because it’s particularly powerful when it is moving through Cancer. In fact, Jupiter is exalted in the cardinal water sign, meaning it’s capable of reaching its highest expression.

We’ll all be nudged to expand our knowledge, invest in, and amplify our focus on Cancerian areas of life such as real estate, fertility, family, sentimental and traditional experiences, caregiving, and food. So, whether you’ve been wanting to perfect your cooking skills, try to conceive, buy a house, or go on a long-overdue family vacation, Jupiter in Cancer has your back this year.

What signs will Jupiter in Cancer affect the most?

The signs that will feel Jupiter’s trip through Cancer the most are the cardinal signs: Aries (cardinal fire), Cancer (cardinal water), Libra (cardinal air) and Capricorn (cardinal earth). If you have major placements (meaning your sun, moon, rising, Mercury, etc.) in any of these signs, you’ll feel Jupiter’s time in the sign of the Crab more than the rest of us.

Read on to learn how Jupiter in Cancer will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign, which you can pinpoint in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)

Aries

Though you tend to be focused on pushing forward at all costs, thanks to your ruler, go-getter Mars, the next year could see you embracing a lower-key, homebody vibe, as Jupiter will be in your fourth house of home life. You can look forward to more joy, abundance, and personal growth linked to your family life. You’ll also enjoy a bolstered sense of inner security and peace, especially if you’re up for doing a bit of self-work to heal old emotional wounds.

Taurus

The next year brings a surge of positivity, optimism, and growth when it comes to how you’re expressing yourself and interacting with others, because Jupiter will be moving through your third house of communication. This is your season for pursuing learning experiences and even more short-distance travel (think impromptu weekend getaways with friends). You’ll feel more confident gathering information that you’re eager to share with friends and colleagues as well as making applause-worthy presentations and pitches.

Gemini

Jupiter was in your sign for the last year, amplifying your confidence and resulting in feeling like you could take on the world, and as it shifts into your second house of income, you can channel that feeling into nurturing your self-worth and hitting the gas on even your most ambitious moneymaking endeavors. When it comes to bringing your skills to the table to boost your bottom line, you may feel like the sky’s the limit—and it very well could be. You’ll just be sure you’re ensuring the opportunities you’re capitalizing on are in line with your values.

Cancer

Welcome to one of your luckiest years yet, Cancer, because Jupiter is now in your sign and your first house of self, offering up a glass-half-full perspective and magnifying your enthusiasm and self-assurance. You could feel more capable of tackling challenges that pop up and of making strides on passion projects. This can be a powerful time for confidence-bolstering makeovers of any kind (whether that’s overhauling your professional website or stepping up your personal style) as well as stepping into a leadership position you’ve been vying for. Basically, you have the fuel to turn any dream that’s close to your heart into reality now.

Leo

Prepare for a year in which investing in your psychological and emotional well-being will translate to more luck and personal growth, thanks to Jupiter moving through your twelfth house of spirituality. Mind-body practices (like meditation) that you adore but maybe put on the backburner could become even more of a focus now, helping you ground, center, and work through challenges that arise. You’ll feel empowered by exploring vivid dreams and honing your intuition as well as devoting more time to charitable causes.

Virgo

Though you’re typically a team player, you’ll feel most fortunate and abundant when you’re spending time tending to your platonic relationships and serving as part of a communal effort, because Jupiter is in your eleventh house of friendships now. You’ll crave—and find you have—more opportunities to showcase your skills in collaborative projects with colleagues and invitations to connect and bond with your social circle. And because this is also the sector of wishes, group activities can have you feeling more seen, supported, and optimistic about manifesting a long-held aspiration.

Libra

Steel yourself for a thrilling year full of professional gains, because lucky Jupiter is now in your tenth house of career. At first, you could feel as though you’re craving more recognition and chances to make your mark in a public way, but as the expansive planet moves through this sector, you’ll find you’re invited into the limelight more than usual and tasked with stepping into positions of authority. Believing in yourself and taking advantage of moments in which you can grow and learn leads to well-deserved advancement.

Scorpio

As a fixed sign, you’re a creature of habit, so shaking up your typical routine can be challenging, but with Jupiter in your ninth house of adventure and higher learning for the next year, stepping out of your comfort zone is the key to more exuberance, good fortune, and spiritual growth. This could look like traveling more, picking up a new skill set, making friends outside of your usual circle, or exploring philosophies and worldviews that are different from your own. Your curiosity soars, and the more you can tap into and satiate your appetite for learning, the better the results.

Sagittarius

Moving through your eighth house of intimacy this year, Jupiter will magnify your focus, energy, and good fortune related to your closest relationships. You can address and heal power struggles and control issues within your bonds, bolstering a sense of inner peace and comfort. It’ll be easier than before to connect with a significant other or someone special in the bedroom on a deeply meaningful spiritual and emotional level. And because this sector also oversees joint resources, you can expect bigger, better results on shared financial pursuits.

Capricorn

As industrious and pragmatic as you are, you’re perfectly capable of making your dreams a reality on your own, but Jupiter’s presence in your seventh house of partnership now encourages you to link up with a significant other, dear friend, or colleague. Working as a duo is the key to building momentum on shared dreams now. You’ll also feel a lot lighter, more joyful, and more positive when you’re spending quality one-on-one time with someone who gets you and holds space for you to be yourself. BTW, if you’re single, this could be the year you meet the partner of your dreams, and if you’re attached, you could take your commitment to the next level.

Aquarius

With Jupiter in your sixth house of wellness and daily routine, you’ll feel like you have the wind in your sails to tackle everyday to-dos and perfect your approach to health and fitness. Because Jupiter expands everything it connects with, this could be an especially busy year in which your day-to-day life feels almost too full, but because your agenda is so thrilling, you’ll recognize that you’re grateful to have a problem of abundance. And if you do get overwhelmed, Jupiter offers up a can-do attitude that will help you streamline your hustle to boost productivity and efficiency.

Pisces

You can look forward to more lighthearted, flirtatious moments with your SO or potential partners as well as more magic, playfulness, and creativity over the next year of Jupiter hanging in your fifth house of romance and self-expression. You’ve been devoting a lot of time to heavy, self-healing work lately, and this transit could feel like a well-deserved time-out to follow your heart, tap into your artistic impulses, and have more fun. Feel free to hit pause on putting your nose to the grindstone as you’ll benefit from embracing spontaneity and owning your creative voice.
