Let's take a look at Jupiter this week. Jupiter represents expansion, good fortune, joy and wisdom. (Yeah, yeah, it can encourage seconds on dessert and weight gain, along with impossibly optimistic ideas.) But for the most part - we love Jupiter! Jupiter stays in one sign for 12 months and because of this, it rotates through all the 12 signs in 12 years. Right now, Jupiter is in Cancer, which happens to be one of the best places it can be. (That's a story for another time.) Jupiter entered Cancer on June 9, and will stay there until the end of June in 2026. What this means is that for this particular 12-month window -- each of us has a boost of good fortune in a different part of our lives. Read on to be reminded why you can be grateful! Remember: Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn't permanent.
At this time, Jupiter is travelling across the bottom of your chart, which highlight everything to do with your personal life, plus home and family. Jupiter will promote inner peace and security within yourself; as well as exchanges with family members. In fact, your family life will be happier and family members will be more generous to each other. This benefit extends even into physical manifestations: for example, you will benefit by buying real estate or a new home. Or perhaps, you'll improve, redecorate or renovate where you currently live? Relations with parents will also improve. You will feel a sense of joy and reassurance by putting down roots and having a sense of belonging to a place. You'll feel secure. (Gosh.)
Jupiter is currently travelling through the part of your chart that is connected with daily events and communications. Because Jupiter tends to expand and increase, you will have more contacts with your immediate surroundings. Your everyday life will be busier. Interactions with neighbours, siblings and relatives will increase, and these contacts will be mutually beneficial. You will get out and travel more. Likewise, because Jupiter rules knowledge, wisdom and universities - you might take up a new study that could be useful to you. You might also do more writing and reading. Your plans for the future will be more optimistic and more expansive. Lucky you! This is all fun stuff.
While you have enjoyed the benefit of Jupiter being in your sign from the middle of 2024 until June of this year, Jupiter is now in your Money House, bringing you opportunities to get richer! You might get a raise or a better-paying job, or you might inherit. To put a finer point on it, Jupiter will bring to you whatever it is that you most value. For some, this might not be money or physical possessions. It might be ideas, a standard of justice, or a chance to increase a particular dimension of your life. This is an excellent time to invest money, as well as buy something for your enjoyment and pleasure. (Not too shabby.)
Life is good because lucky Jupiter is in your sign, and it will stay there until July of next year, attracting people, resources, gifts, goodies and favours from others to you. In this 12-month window, your self-confidence and poise will grow. And because Jupiter is associated with wisdom, you will also find that you will give up prejudices and attitudes that no longer serve your purpose - perhaps ideas from your childhood. This is a powerful time for all kinds of opportunities. It's the beginning of a new 12-year cycle of growth for you. (Time to let out another pleat in the shower curtain?)
This is a profound time in your life because right now, Jupiter is travelling through the part of your chart that will increase your capacity to learn more and develop a deeper awareness of the spiritual and religious dimensions of your life. Pretty heady stuff! This doesn't necessarily mean you're going to take the cloth, but almost certainly, by next summer, you will have developed greater wisdom, and a deeper compassion not only for yourself and others, but for the world in general. Perhaps the biggest truth that will dawn is that we are all in the same boat together, and what is done to help one person, is done for all.
Your popularity has been increasing while Jupiter has been travelling through your House of Friendships. Not only have you been, and will continue to be, more involved with friends, you will also become more active in clubs, groups and organizations, especially ones that benefit society. You will find that friends will be more supportive to you. You will also meet new friends who are surprisingly helpful and valuable in your world. Of course, this is always a two-way street, which means you will be beneficial to others as well. This will make you more idealistic, and increase your desire to save the world before bedtime. And why not?
This is the only time in 12 years that Jupiter sits at the top of your chart. And it's there for a year! This will bring you recognition for your accomplishments. Expect a promotion at work, public acknowledgment, kudos or awards and the respect and esteem of your peers. Jupiter might trigger work-related travel, as well as dealing with foreign countries. Jupiter will increase your confidence in yourself to do what it is that you do. Note: This is an excellent opportunity to change your line of work to medicine, healing, the law, higher education and travel. (If you do this - the recognition that you might get by staying in your field is unlikely.)
The placement of Jupiter in your chart now encourages your desire to travel, and expand your horizons in every way possible. You want to learn more. You want to meet new, fascinating people. You want to see places you've never seen before. You want a change of scenery and fresh experiences! Basically, you want sweeping changes that make your life richer and more rewarding! Because of this, you'll enjoy travel, going back to school, and exploring opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. You might even experience a "conversion" with a religion or some kind of spiritual regeneration. You will identify with The Seeker. (Get the T-shirt!)
Lucky Jupiter is your ruler; and now it is travelling through one of your Money Houses, which means your assets will increase You might receive an inheritance. Your partner or someone close to you might earn more, or get a bonus, and you will indirectly benefit through their good fortune. The next nine months are an excellent time to ask for a loan from a bank or seek out a mortgage. It's also a lovely window of time to pool your resources with someone else in a business partnership. The bottom line is you stand to benefit from the shared resources of others. Although you might not see it, sweeping changes that happen now will make your life richer and more rewarding in the future.
Jupiter sits opposite your sign until next summer, both improving your closest relationships, and allowing your one-to-one encounters to show you aspects of yourself and the world around you. This is a tremendous blessing! (This applies to all kinds of the partnerships - professional, business and marital.) You will meet all kinds of people who can help you in various ways. (Obviously, this is the perfect time to ask for help from a professional, a consultant, a lawyer, doctor, personal counsellor or astrologer.) You might become more involved with foreign places and people from other countries. It's a marvellous time to marry - and if you do, your partner might be of an age difference and more established.
Jupiter is sitting in your House of Employment and Health until next summer, meaning this is an excellent time for any kind of work that you do. It also means your health will improve! Basically, you can make progress in the areas that best suit you or fit your wants and needs. When it comes to your job, you can improve the conditions of your job. Your terrible boss might be fired or transferred to Timbuktu. You might get a promotion or better working conditions. Or, you might simply get a new job that you like! Furthermore, you will feel satisfaction with your job, and more easily gain the esteem of your superiors. This is also a good time for joy from pets.
You are one of the luckier signs when it comes to Jupiter this year because Jupiter is sitting in the most fun part of your chart! This will promote all aspects of your creative self-expression, and your chances to express your artistic talents. If you have children, it will improve your relations with them. You'll feel proud of them. Romance will flourish. Existing relationships will deepen, and teach you more than you ever dreamed possible. But most important of all, this year you will have the opportunity for personal growth, greater freedom of expression, and wonderful chances to enjoy yourself and have fun! Take a vacation! Count your blessings!
