JUPITER ENTERS CANCER
June 9, 2025 (22:02 GMT+1)
Big planet Jupiter is on the move next week which is big news. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the universe and the best planet in astrology. The big planet takes twelve years to circuit the zodiac bringing its blessings to each of the twelve star signs in turn.
In mythology, Jupiter was a Sky God, linked to expansion, benevolence and protection. Jupiter is the planet which represents travel, foreign connections, higher education, religion, the law, truth and justice. It’s where you seek meaning and purpose in life, the bigger picture. Jupiter is the planetary archetype that reminds you to trust, be hopeful and have faith.
Jupiter In Cancer – Key Themes
Jupiter enters Cancer on June 9, 2025 for the first time since 2013/2014. This is great news if you have key planets/angles in Cancer but potentially good news for everyone, depending where Jupiter falls in your horoscope. Jupiter isn’t going to dip in and out of Cancer either and will remain here for one whole year until June 30, 2026.
One of Jupiter’s archetypes in astrology is the Great Protector and Jupiter is a benevolent influence. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Jupiter likes to be in the star sign Cancer, a kind and caring combination. Jupiter is said to be exalted in Cancer, which means it’s comfortable here and can play to its strengths.
Cancer is the star sign ruled by the reflective Moon, a symbol of the mother, of nurturing and nourishment. This is the family star sign, favouring comfort, nesting and close bonds. You may be drawn back to the place you grew up while Jupiter’s in Cancer. Or perhaps, you’re reflecting where your home is or what home means to you.
Everyone needs protection while Jupiter’s in Cancer and the basic right of a roof over their head. You might be concerned with protecting your own home and making sure you have a comfy nest for your children, your parents or the people closest to you. Or perhaps, you’re getting involved with other people who have no home or no longer know where home lies.
Cancer can be a star sign that holds on to the memories of the past and favours traditional values. Therefore, you might take a trip down memory lane while Jupiter’s in Cancer. Or perhaps, you’re expanding your family or considering a move to benefit you and your family. It’s an ideal time to gather the clans and prioritise your family or the people in your life you consider family.
Jupiter In Cancer – The Wider Tribe
It’s not only about the family either but the wider tribe and clan. This is because Cancer is a patriotic star sign, e.g. the USA’s star sign is Cancer if you use the chart for Independence Day, the 4th of July, a deeply patriotic country.
Nelson Mandela (July 18, 1918 – December 5, 2013) was born with the Sun in Cancer and he’s often thought of as the father of South Africa. In fact, many people called him ‘Tata’, a Xhosa word for father.
Angela Merkel (b. July 17, 1954), who was the Chancellor of Germany is a Sun Cancer. She was given the nickname ‘Mutti’ by the German people, the German word for mother.
Jupiter’s move through Cancer may bring a wave of patriotism and Cancer’s zodiac symbol is the crab who retreats to his protective shell to keep enemies out. It’s likely that people will hold on tighter to their countries, their land, their territories. Other obvious themes are the baby boom, baby bonuses, a greater demand for housing and people needing homes.
Yet ultimately, Cancer is a compassionate and caring star sign. The water signs, like Cancer, are emotional and Cancer in particular is sentimental and nostalgic. While Jupiter’s moving through Cancer, you may appreciate more affection and hugs. Gather your loved ones around you, plant your garden, encourage flowers and kindness to grow and flourish.
