On June 9, Jupiter, our gas giant planet of luck, abundance, games of chance, and inclinations of excess, will set up his roulette wheel in the breast milk founts of Cancer for the first time in over a decade.
The zodiac's good-timing, dice rolling, drunk uncle will remain in the sign of the crab until June 2026.
With a gilded touch and a gouty toe, Jupiter expands all that he touches. In the feelings-forward, intuitive, and home-centric sign of Cancer, that expansion is found through healing, healthy boundaries, and fortified foundations. On a collective level, we will all benefit from the vulnerability, magic, and depth lent by Jupiter in Cancer.
In Gemini, Jupiter is about the expansion of expression, while in Cancer, the power of plenty extends to reflection and tending to the wounded waters from which we came.
Aiding and abetting our understanding of this transit is the brilliant astrologer and spiritual counselor Letao Wang.
'As Jupiter moves into Cancer, we are invited into a period of emotional growth, deepened connections, and collective care. When in Cancer — a sign ruled by the Moon and deeply tied to home, family, and emotional security — this transit encourages us to expand our hearts, heal old wounds, and build stronger foundations in both our personal and collective lives,' Wang told The Post.
Jupiter enters Cancer on June 9 and will remain in the backwater of the crab until June 30, 2026.
Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer, meaning the planet can fully express its powers and prowess and in turn, its easier for we mortals to receive and access its boons and bounty.
'Jupiter's journey through Cancer will emphasize themes of compassion, protection, and humanitarian efforts. We may see increased focus on housing security, food accessibility, and support for families and children. Governments and organizations could prioritize policies that nurture communities, such as improved healthcare or social safety nets. Emotionally, the world may feel more inclined toward unity and empathy, with a collective desire to care for one another—especially those in vulnerable situations.'
Wang shared that this transit also supports creative and domestic pursuits.
'Art, music, and storytelling that evoke nostalgia or emotional resonance will flourish, and many may feel drawn to reconnect with their roots, whether through family, tradition, or homeland.'
Cancer is about nurturance and Jupiter is about amplification. In kind, this transit ehannces our ability to heal.
According to Greek myth, after completing his arduous labors, the exhausted hero Hercules struck the earth with his club. In response, the ground gave was, fissuring and flooding into hot springs. Lowering himself into the water, Hercules was healed, his muscles soothed and his spirit restored.
Jupiter in Cancer invokes a similar energy, a summons to transmute suffering into salve and heal ourselves through ourselves.
A divine dive in. Surf's up, mothertruckers.
