For The First Time In Nearly 12 Years, Jupiter In Cancer Is Here
For the first time in nearly 12 years Jupiter is entering its favorite sign, Cancer. This is a phenomenal moment for emotional expansion and personal growth, as well as being able to have a sympathetic approach to worldly matters. From June 9th to June 30th, 2026, we will be surfing the waves of Jupiter in Cancer, doing our enchanting crab walk.
It's time for us to tap into our intuition and to embrace our empathetic nature. Caring will come naturally to us all, allowing us to look after our loved ones and receive affection in return. The caveat is that we may give too much away to those who are undeserving. Knowing when to hold in the energy is key to avoiding feeling as though we're being taken for granted. We should make sure that our loving cup is full first and then see how we can replenish others. Remember that the crab has a protective shell and lets minimal people into its world, so choosing to interacting with a select few is essential to our well-being.
Throughout this transit, we will crave security on all fronts. That doesn't mean at times we won't use the pinchers. We're only human, even when we are behaving crabbily, so it's important to give ourselves some grace. We will have our moments, especially when we have to fight for what we want in an effort to attain happiness. We also might argue on the behalf of those we care about. Defending the underdog is how we want to strike back. Jupiter in Cancer isn't afraid to be brave and bold, as long as there is a significant meaning behind the actions we take.
Two of the most significant aspects that Jupiter is making are to the planets Saturn and Neptune. Jupiter in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries on June 15th. This intense transit will make us feel like we're unable to make decisions or moves. Information may be delayed, causing us to get annoyed. We also might feel as though relationships aren't flowing the way we want them to, resulting in a standstill.
The intense vibe changes three days later, when Neptune in Aries shares a similar fraught connection with Jupiter in Cancer on June 18th. We could over idealize people and ignore their flaws (total fandom energy) which we'll regret weeks later. Take a step back to see who they really are and if they're the person they're projecting and portraying. Keep your eyes wide open.
Spiritual endeavors are highlighted. This could mean that we take a yoga class, align with nature, or begin astrology lessons. Whatever we choose to do, know that it is a step in the right direction, as it's leading us towards cultivating our interests and becoming more knowledgeable.
From November 11th to March 10th, 2026 the prosperous planet will be moonwalking. Contrary to popular belief, J upiter retrograde is not a bad time. The retrograde gives us a chance to catch up with our aspirations and hopes. We'll also be able to tackle subjects and educate ourselves, providing the motivational glow up that we need.
Although we might be dragging our feet when it comes to travel, it'll be nice to find comfort in our homes, connecting with our family, and reminiscing. The private time away from the public eye will help us know where we're going because we'll be able to understand what drives us forward due to the connection with our ancestors. Our stories are important, which is why we should value them. Try the recipe from your great-grandmother's cookbook, drive your grandmother's car, make a scrapbook with your parents and siblings.
Jupiter's stint in Cancer is an auspicious time because it is the planet's favorite place to be. Jupiter loves to be in Cancer because everything is more fluid. As long as the waves continue to roll, we will transcend with them. So roll the dice, and bet on yourself and take a chance with those you love.

A tiny star gave birth to a giant exoplanet, but no one knows how
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Like a family in which short parents have tall children, a tiny red dwarf star is defying our understanding of how planets form by existing alongside a giant exoplanet. Giant planets are not rare per se — after all, we have four in our own solar system. Such large worlds are, however, rarely found around the smallest stars, red dwarfs. Red dwarfs simply shouldn't have enough material to form such huge worlds. Well, tell that to the red dwarf star TOI-6894, which is located 238 light-years away. It has just 20% of the mass of the sun, but has been found to host a giant planet, TOI-6894b, that's a little larger than Saturn, albeit with only about half the mass of the ringed planet. Statistical work has shown that only about 1.5% of red dwarfs harbor gas giant planets, so TOI-6894 is among a rare breed indeed. And it is by far the least massive star to be found with an orbiting giant planet: 60% less massive than the next lowest-mass star with a gas giant. Given how scarce such worlds around red dwarfs are, finding this new planet in data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was not easy. (The "TOI"' in the system's name refers to a "TESS object of interest.") "I originally searched through TESS observations of more than 91,000 low-mass red dwarf stars looking for giant planets," Edward Bryant of the University of Warwick, who led the discovery, said in a statement. Upon discovering that TESS had recorded TOI-6894b transiting its star, which gave Bryant the planet's radius, his team then observed it with the ESPRESSO (Echelle Spectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations) spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope in Chile, and SPIRou (Spectropolarimétre Infrarouge) spectrograph on the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope on Mauna Kea to determine its mass. However, "we don't really understand how a star with so little mass can form such a massive planet," team-member Vincent Van Eylen of University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory said in the statement There are two models to describe the formation of giant planets. One way, which we think is how Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune formed, is via a process called core accretion. A giant planetary core, up to ten times the mass of Earth, forms first out of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. The gravity of the resulting large rocky body is then able to pull in huge swathes of gas in a runaway process from the surrounding planet-forming disk. Given that red dwarfs are scaled down stars, the material available in their planet-forming disk is then similarly scaled down — hence why we find many more smaller planets around red dwarfs than gas giants. Calculations suggest the core of TOI-6894b contains 12 times the mass of Earth. However, in a previous survey of 70 planet-forming disks around red dwarfs with between 15 and 25% the mass of our sun, only five were found to contain more than 12 Earth masses of heavy elements, and only one had an abundance significantly greater than 12 Earth masses. The odds are that TOI-6894b shouldn't have been able to support core accretion. However, Bryant has tried to envisage a process of core accretion by halves. Given that TOI-6894b's overall mass is less than Saturn, a runaway accretion process might not have been required to build up its mass. "Given the mass of the planet, TOI-6894b could have formed through an intermediate core-accretion process, in which a protoplanet forms and steadily accretes gas without the core becoming massive enough for runaway gas accretion," he said. An alternative means by which giant planets form is from a disk instability, whereby a section of a planet-forming disk becomes unstable and collapses under its own gravity, coalescing into a planet. This is a top-down formation process rather than the bottom-up of core accretion, but there is disagreement within the astronomical community over whether such low-mass stars can even experience a disk instability. So, the origin of TOI-6894b remains an open question, but the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) could potentially discover the answer in the planet's atmosphere. TOI-6894b orbits close to its star every 3.37 days at a distance of just 3.89 million kilometers (2.42 million miles). A gas giant so close to a sun-like star would be classed as a "hot Jupiter" with an atmospheric temperature in the high hundreds, if not more than a thousand, degrees Celsius. However, as a red dwarf, TOI-6894 is cooler than our sun by more than 2,500 degrees Celsius, meaning TOI-6894b has an atmospheric temperature of just 147 degrees Celsius (296 degrees Fahrenheit) – still warm, but by no means hot. This has repercussions for the chemistry of its atmosphere. "Based on the stellar irradiation of TOI-6894b, we expect the atmosphere is dominated by methane chemistry, which is very rare to identify," Amaury Triaud of the University of Birmingham said in the statement. "Temperatures are low enough that atmospheric observations could even show us ammonia, which would be the first time it is found in an exoplanet atmosphere." Related Stories: — 'Cosmic miracle!' James Webb Space Telescope discovers the earliest galaxy ever seen — James Webb Space Telescope unveils fiery origins of a distant, hellish exoplanet — Scientists question possible signs of life on exoplanet K2-18b in new study: 'We never saw more than insignificant hints' A proposal to observe TOI-6894b's atmosphere has already been accepted as part of the JWST's fourth cycle of science observations, to take place over the next 12 months. Besides searching for the likes of methane and ammonia, the characteristics of the planet's atmosphere discernible to JWST could point to which formation model – core accretion or disk instability – is the correct one, or even whether a brand new formation model is needed. Although giant planets around red dwarf stars are rare — other examples include the worlds LHS 3154b, GJ 3512b and c, and TZ Ari b — the numbers may still be on their side. That's because red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the galaxy, making up three-quarters of the estimated 100 billion stars in the Milky Way. So even 1.5% of 75 billion is a huge number of red dwarf stars – 1.125 billion to be exact — that could host giant planets. "This discovery will be a cornerstone for understanding the extremes of giant planet formation," concluded Bryant. The discovery of TOI-6894b was published on June 4 in the journal Nature Astronomy.
