Amid the unstable and challenging astrological climate of 2025, Jupiter's transit through Cancer can easily be considered the most auspicious. This is because in Cancer, Jupiter is in its sign of exaltation. Furthermore, Jupiter itself is the planet that governs opportunity, abundance, expansion, and the ability to materialize what we could be.

In traditional astrology, exaltation is a category that falls within the so-called essential dignities . Exaltation specifically indicates that the planet is not “at home” (as is the case when it is in domicile), but it is accorded honors. In other words, one could say that it is even better than domicile. An exalted planet is in a high position, functioning clearly and effectively, where what it represents can be nobly displayed . As Guido Bonatti, a 13th-century astrologer and one of the main references in medieval tradition, wrote, an exalted planet “operates as if it were on top of a mountain.”

However, even though Jupiter will be in an unbeatable position in this case, this doesn't mean everything will be idyllic. Yes, Jupiter is the planet associated with expansion, vision, and abundance. But it's also the planet of excess, overestimation, and exaggeration. Added to this is the fact that any planet in exaltation can be in a position of excessive power , so its effects can end up being both fertile and difficult to contain.

Still, if we remain vigilant that Jupiter in Cancer does not express itself excessively in our own lives, it could happen that when June 2026 arrives (when the transit ends), we look back and perceive this period as a true watershed , in the best possible way. Let's see what that might look like.

A Social Planet

Jupiter is a social planet , and that means its influence is not limited to personal experience, but structures our relationship with the symbolic order: beliefs, shared values, a sense of justice, education, cultural expansion. The social planets (Jupiter and Saturn) shape how we connect with the world: they don't operate within our immediate range of action like personal planets, but neither do they act completely outside our direct experience. They function as a bridge between the individual and the collective . In the case of Jupiter, this bridge is formed through how we make sense of what we experience, what vision guides us, and the principles that guide our long-term decisions.

The Exact Dates

Jupiter will be in Cancer from June 9, 2025 to June 29, 2026.

Natal Planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn: Actively Seeking Opportunities

This transit will have an impact on everyone, both personally and collectively. But if you have natal planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn , you're likely to feel its effect directly . This is because Jupiter from Cancer will form tense aspects with these signs—squares and oppositions—creating a tension that can lead to expansion and opportunity. (The opportunity lies in how you respond to discomfort: do you investigate options? Reexamine beliefs? Take a risky step?) .

Anyway, something important to keep in mind (and this applies to everyone, whether or not we have planets in these signs): In pop astrology, it's often repeated that Jupiter brings abundance, luck, and gifts from the universe. There's some truth to that. However, Jupiter's expansion isn't going to arrive on a Peruvian silver platter. —or Mexican—to then cross the door of our house, go up the stairs, enter our room, and land directly on the bed before we've even opened one eye in the morning. If we remain in that fantasy of passivity, we'll most likely end the transit by joining the list of people who consult astrologers after a Jupiter transit that ends unevenly. "Nothing happened," they say. To be radically honest, what didn't happen was the work that we, as stakeholders in the transit, must do if we truly want expansion and opportunity.

What is that job, then? Let's analyze it now.

Jupiter: The Ray of Possibility, and Then the Fire

In its most essential meaning, Jupiter is the ruling planet of the spiritual plane and what becomes possible within it . The spiritual plane is not subject to time or space: it has no sequence, no duration, no linear direction. Unlike the physical plane—which requires time for something to manifest —on the spiritual plane, things can happen immediately: a door bursts open; a certainty appears without explanation. This unexpected and abrupt quality is classic of Jupiter's behavior.

In the Roman pantheon, Jupiter is the supreme god. His signature weapon —the lightning — is one of the oldest and most powerful symbols in all of human history. The lightning bolt launched by Jupiter symbolizes the power of the spirit, which descends abruptly and unpredictably to fertilize the earth . The sky lights up. The lightning strikes the earth (a symbol of human consciousness) and generates fire—a metaphor for post-revelation enthusiasm. Thus, Jupiter represents the possibility of the invisible becoming real . Enthusiasm (from the Greek en-theos , to have a god within) is another characteristic of Jupiterian energy.

Jupiter's function, then, is to reveal to us the contrast between what we are and what we could be. Everything we see below—abundance, luck, hope, generosity—as meanings associated with Jupiter are derived from this fundamental principle.

Through transit, Jupiter marks periods where the lightning strikes us and something expands : our vision, our reach, our direction. It takes us out of mental isolation, fear, and limited calculations, and puts us in touch with what could happen if we trust and step outside our comfort zone.

Jupiterian Piety

We've seen how Jupiter acts like a "bolt of lightning" that suddenly illuminates possibility, abruptly connecting us with a plane beyond time and space, where the invisible becomes tangible in the form of certainty, enthusiasm, or expansive vision. But how does this divine spark, this sudden contact with the transcendent, translate into the concrete life of human beings rooted in time, responsibilities, and relationships? This is where a fundamental, yet often misunderstood and polarizing concept comes into play: piety.

Piety is one of the central terms of the symbolic tradition for understanding Jupiter, but not in the moralistic or religious sense it acquired over time. In its classical roots ( pietas in Latin), being pious or godly implied recognizing that there is a higher order to which one belongs —whether divine, natural, or ethical—and living in coherence with it. It was not a matter of praying, but of honoring the meaning of things and acting with respect for what transcends us.

In The Aeneid , Virgil portrays Aeneas as pius Aeneas , not because he is ritually devout, but because he fulfills his given purpose , maintains his loyalty to the gods, protects his father, and guides his people. Pietas , in this context, is a virtue that unites a sense of duty, spiritual awareness, and fidelity to purpose.

Cicero, in De Officiis , also defines piety as a duty to one's parents, one's country, and the gods, placing it within justice as a universal order. It is not a matter of blind obedience, but rather a form of vertical justice : toward that which is above oneself, toward that which gives structure and meaning.

From this same line, Pierre Hadot —philosopher and historian of ancient thought— affirms that classical virtue does not consist in submitting, but in living in relation to the whole , in harmony with a cosmos that has structure, direction and meaning.

From this perspective, Jupiterian piety is nothing more than conscious adherence to a higher principle , a vision that gives direction. It's the kind of inner devotion that allows us to maintain confidence even when there's no evidence.

Jupiter Transits: Piety in Action

Jupiter transits are specific instances in which piety—that conscious adherence to the greater order revealed by the ray—is required of us for these cycles to truly make a difference. The key points of Jupiter's energy are (they affect both the personal and collective levels ):

Active Trust and Openness to the Unknown

Jupiter doesn't ask for blind faith, but rather the courage to open ourselves to what we don't yet know, trusting that the revealed step (the "ray") points the way. It's the willingness to leave behind what's safe when that inner vision appears. Without this openness, no expansion is possible.

Compass-like and Clear Direction

Where Jupiter is active, tactical questions ("how?") give way to essential ones: "Why am I doing this? Where is my life going? What is truly valuable?" It is the reconfiguration of priorities based on the expanded vision received.

Decisive Response to Possibility

Jupiter presents a fertile contrast: "What I am vs. what I could be." But this potential doesn't materialize magically. It requires the concrete decision and action of someone who, having seen the possibility (the lightning bolt), chooses to honor it with action (pietas). Expansion is the consequence.

Faith as an Impulse, not as an Expectation

Pietas is faith in motion. It's not just believing, but acting with vision even when we lack external guarantees. It's the internal impulse that drives us forward before we have all the rational answers, sustained by the inner certainty (enthusiasm) ignited by Jupiter's revelation.

Generosity as Shared Expansion

Jupiter 's transits expand us as individuals, integrating us into a whole. Therefore, its energy encourages us to share what we've learned, to include others on the path, and to share what we've discovered. Jupiter helps us understand that true abundance multiplies as it circulates (honoring the "greater order" includes community).

Justice as Internal Ethical Alignment

Jupiter transits connect us with our inner moral compass. Anything that isn't aligned with the broader vision and essential principles (the "higher order") becomes unsustainable. They often make us feel a strong need to act with integrity, to correct inconsistencies, and to seek justice not as an external norm, but as an expression of inner alignment (Cicero).

Future Projection from a Clear Vision

Jupiter lifts us out of mere survival or short-termism, urging us to build a purposeful future. It pushes us to plan and act not from fear or reaction, but from a vision inspired by greater meaning.

Living Spirituality

Pietas is a conscious relationship with the transcendent. It is neither dogma nor empty ritual. It is actively perceiving the operation of something greater and feeling part of it (Hadot). Transiting Jupiter activates this experiential connection in our lives, renewing the sense of participating in a meaningful order.

Blessing and Grace

Jupiter transits attract grace as a consequence, not as a reward. When we approach them from a position of openness, aligned action, and active trust (pietas), we encounter moments of synchronicity, clear opportunities, or astonishing confirmations. This "blessing" is simply a reflection of how far we have expanded to receive and recognize it. In concrete terms, it is the earth responding to the well-directed ray.

Jupiter in Gemini (2024-2025): The Fragmentation of Faith

Let's now place everything we've talked about about Jupiter into the current timeline.

While all transits have their positive potential, Jupiter's journey through Gemini wasn't particularly easy: it was characterized by a tendency toward mental overload and difficulty distinguishing what is valuable among so much noise . Gemini is the sign of exchanges, immediate connections, and diverse points of view; but Jupiter, as a planet linked to broad vision, synthesis, and meaning, doesn't find its most fertile ground here. Therefore, in this position, it is detrimental : its capacity for expansion is fragmented, and instead of opening paths, it can disperse into multiple forks that could end up leading nowhere.

On a collective level , this transit manifested as an inflation of discourse : an excess of words, half-formed ideas, empty promises, or contradictory information. Much was said, much written, much shared, but not necessarily more or better thought. Because Jupiter rules faith and is in detriment in Gemini, it is a transit in which the entire world tends to distrust certainties. Although this attitude can have critical value, it can also lead to cynicism or chronic skepticism. On the other hand, with Jupiter in Gemini, there may be a tendency to remain trapped on the surface of things, confusing quantity with depth, and losing faith that anything can have true meaning.

On a personal level , it was probably difficult to maintain a clear direction. The excess of mental stimuli, the noise of constant comparison, and the difficulty silencing the mind hampered expansion. Under this transit, the connection with spirit—that inner fire that gives meaning and guidance—seemed more distant . The openness promised by Jupiter was mediated by filters, interruptions, or distractions. Because of this, many of us may have felt mentally exhausted, with the feeling of not moving forward, despite being constantly on the move.

Jupiter in Cancer: The Ray that Fertilizes Memory

The situation changes radically when Jupiter enters Cancer: we go from detriment to exaltation.

The logic behind its exaltation in this sign is as follows: when the Sun transits through Cancer, the summer solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere: the time of greatest heat and light, and also the moment when atmospheric humidity reaches levels that favor the development of life. In the Tetrabiblos , Ptolemy explained that "humid and hot qualities are the most fertile and active, for by them everything unites and grows." This conjunction of heat and humidity is the physical basis of fertility . This is one of the reasons why Cancer has traditionally been associated with processes of gestation, nutrition, and growth . Jupiter, as the planet that governs the fertile, the abundant, and the formative, finds in this sign a symbolic terrain that amplifies its power.

Mythology also provides clues. Zeus—the Greek name for Jupiter—is one of the most fertile gods in the classical pantheon. Not only because of the almost scandalous number of children he fathers, but because his figure embodies law, authority, the continuity of bloodlines, and the expansion of the divine through the human. His union with Hera—the goddess who protects blood ties—reveals the connection between the creative spark and ancestral memory . The Jupiterian lightning bolt (that is, the abrupt revelation) is thus the lightning that fertilizes the swamp, revitalizing deep waters where seeds had been dormant for only God knows when.

Cancer and the Memory of the Soul

To reduce this sign to "mother," "home," or "emotion" (although these are attributes associated with Cancer) is to ignore its essential core from which all other meanings are born: Cancer is the sign associated with the memory of the soul . It is the bridge between what we were and what we will be; the current that connects individual lives with the river of lineage—whether familial, patriotic, or karmic. The crab , its symbol, changes its shell several times. In many cultures, this has been seen as a metaphor for the passage of the soul : between molts, the soul guards invisible contracts, sacred debts, and inherited gifts.

When Jupiter—the planet of the possible—is exalted here, it amplifies this type of memory : one that doesn't record dates, but rather resonances. Under this transit, echoes of a past that demand to be transformed come to the surface: the grandmother who died voiceless demands justice through your projects; the abandoned homeland whispers in your dreams; ancestral trauma becomes art. Please don't think that Cancer is a sign of regression and/or regression: it is the womb where time retreats again and again to give birth to new realities.

On the other hand, the greatness of Jupiter in Cancer also lies in its paradox: a planet of fire (spirit) draws on deep waters to generate new life. Ptolemy saw this union as the pinnacle of physical fertility, but the symbol goes further: Jupiter's heat evaporates what was stagnant, transforming the past into a tremendous creative source. The exaltation of Jupiter in Cancer demands that we honor what we have inherited without repeating it and use memory as fuel for creation (otherwise, it would not be expansion).

The risk —if we lack the reins of pietas —is to fall into paralyzing nostalgia or victim-like hypersensitivity . But when we do conscious work, this transit truly gives us miracles: a letter forgotten in a dusty box inspires us to write a book; a trip without major pretensions heals family wounds; the encounter with a stranger named after our great-grandfather resolves a question that until now had no answer. Jupiter in Cancer doesn't bestow "luck": it fertilizes what was already latent in the memory of our soul (personal and/or collective).

The Last Two Transits of Jupiter in Cancer

Although we may not realize it on a daily basis, time has a cyclical quality. That is, while specific events may not repeat themselves identically, the underlying archetypes and energies do . This means that the emotions, challenges, and choices we face during one astrological cycle can be surprisingly similar to those of previous cycles. What really varies is how we respond to these energies and how our actions and decisions manifest in tangible actions. Thus, by understanding the past few times Jupiter transited Cancer, we can anticipate what will happen next.

Last Transit (2013-2014)

1. Humanitarian crises and protection of vulnerable people

• Syria: Mass exodus of refugees (June 2013 - July 2014): The Syrian civil war displaced 2.5 million people (UNHCR, 2013). Europe faced debates over border protection versus humanitarian openness.

• Philippines: Typhoon Haiyan (November 2013): The strongest storm on record left 14 million people affected. The international response mobilized massive aid (a "Jupiterian" gesture of global protection).

2. Nationalism and territorial sovereignty

•  Ukraine: Crimean Crisis (February-March 2014): Russia annexed Crimea under the guise of "protecting compatriots."

• Indian elections (May 2014): Narendra Modi wins with a message of "Hindu national pride" and protection of traditions.

3. Food security and collective well-being

• Horsemeat scandal in Europe (January 2013 - extension in 2014): Revelation of food fraud in meat products, prompting food safety and transparency laws (protection of the "collective home").

• El Niño and agricultural crises (2013-2014): Droughts in Brazil and California affected global food production, raising prices and sparking talk of food sovereignty.

4. Privacy and Security

• Edward Snowden and Global Surveillance (June 2013 - continuing revelations): NSA exposures of mass surveillance. The debate pitted the right to privacy against "national security."

Penultimate Transit (2001-2002)

1. Protection of the home/nation (Collective trauma response)

• 9/11 and the Global War on Terror (Sept. 2001-2002): The U.S. Patriot Act (Oct. 2001) focused on "homeland protection." Emergence of mass patriotic sentiment. Creation of the Department of Homeland Security (Nov. 2002) as a bureaucratic oversight structure.

• Afghan refugee crisis (October 2001-2002): 2.5 million displaced following the US invasion. Global debate on humanitarian protection (cancer) vs. restrictive immigration policies.

2. Food safety and collective health

• Corporate scandals (Enron, WorldCom) (2001-2002): Loss of family savings (pension funds). Response with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) to regulate corporations.

• Famine in Southern Africa (2001-2002): 14 million at risk due to drought. International aid campaigns (collective solidarity).

3. Nationalism and historical memory

• The euro is put into circulation (January 2002): Tension between national identity (Cancer) and economic integration.

• Mass commemorations of world wars: 60th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad (2002) in Russia: revival of historical pride.

4. Protection of the vulnerable vs. power structures

• Doha Drug Agreement (Nov 2001): Allowed poor countries to bypass pharmaceutical patents to save lives (protecting the vulnerable).

• Escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict: Security walls vs. human rights protests. Operation "Defensive Shield" (Mar 2002).

Jupiter in Cancer and Nationalism

We can see then that when Jupiter transits through Cancer, different forms of nationalism appear again and again.

Nationalism can be defined as an ideology and sociopolitical movement that affirms the identity of a human group based on shared characteristics such as culture, language, history, and territory . Political scientist and historian Benedict Anderson—author of the influential book Imagined Communities (1983)—describes it as an “imagined political community,” where members, even if they do not know each other, share a mental image of their communion.

From a psychological perspective, nationalism satisfies fundamental emotional needs such as belonging, identity, and self-esteem . In times of crisis or uncertainty, people seek refuge in communities that provide them with security and a sense of purpose.

Jupiter, a planet associated with expansion and vision, transiting through Cancer amplifies the need for connection with collective identity and a shared past . This transit can intensify attachment to national symbols, traditions, and historical narratives that reinforce a sense of belonging.

However, this exaltation of national identity can have two sides. The philosopher and historian Ernest Gellner—a specialist in nationalism and modernity—warned that “nationalism is not the awakening of nations to their own consciousness: it invents nations where none exist.” In other words, it can construct myths and exclusions that, rather than unite, divide.

In its luminous aspect, Jupiter in Cancer can foster the protection of minority cultures, the revitalization of languages, and solidarity based on a shared history . In its shadow aspect, it can lead to xenophobia, isolation, and identity conflicts.

Understanding this dynamic is essential to channeling Jupiter's energy in Cancer in a positive way and not getting carried away by the intense emotions that characterize this transit, which can be felt—at the time—as urgent, profound, or even symbolic . But if not consciously examined, these emotions can reinforce mechanisms of exclusion, idealization of one's own self, or rejection of what is different . Distinguishing between what truly nourishes our collective memory and what merely masks a fear is key to harnessing the expansive potential of this transit without falling into isolation (paradoxically, the last thing a planet in Cancer would want in its healthy state).

Cancer Opportunities: What to Expect with Jupiter in Cancer from 2025 to 2026

At the Collective Level:

• Rise of community economies and care-based business models

Growth is expected in economic initiatives focused on care and community, such as housing cooperatives, shared care networks, and local entrepreneurships that prioritize collective well-being. This approach responds to a growing demand for more humane and sustainable economic models.

• Revaluation of housing as a space of security and belonging

Access to decent and safe housing could become a political and social priority. We may see an increase in government programs promoting shared ownership, affordable rentals, and housing rehabilitation, especially in vulnerable communities.

• Expansion of technologies that facilitate emotional connection and collective memory

The development of digital platforms that allow for the reconstruction of family histories, the preservation of Indigenous languages, and the creation of virtual spaces for community rituals is likely to increase. These tools will strengthen emotional and cultural ties in geographically dispersed communities.

• Strengthening movements that promote food sovereignty and regenerative agriculture

We can expect an increase in initiatives that seek to recover ancestral agricultural practices, promote local food production, and protect biodiversity; these movements are driven by the need for food security and connection to the land.

• Institutional recognition of the importance of rest and emotional well-being

Organizations and governments could begin implementing policies that value rest, mental health, and work-life balance. This could include more flexible work hours, workplaces that promote well-being, and emotional support programs.

• Resurgence of spiritual practices focused on emotional healing and ancestral connection

We're likely to see renewed interest in spiritual traditions that emphasize emotional healing, connection with ancestors, and the integration of ritual practices into everyday life. This could translate into an increase in community ceremonies, healing retreats, and studies on ancestral spirituality.

• Increase in land restitution litigation based on ancestral evidence

We can expect an intensification of demands from Indigenous communities for territorial recovery, supported by historical documentation, colonial archives, and tools such as ancient DNA analysis.

• Expansion of public policies on the care economy

More countries will integrate unpaid domestic and care work into their national accounts. Institutional recognition of these tasks will open up debates on their redistribution, financing, and regulation.

• Legal recognition of natural territories as subjects of law

The protection of rivers, mountains, and forests will be expanded through legal instruments granting them their own rights. Judicial rulings based on ancestral testimonies and Indigenous worldviews will increase.

• Greater visibility of the transgenerational effects of collective trauma

The trauma inherited from genocides and dictatorships could begin to be recognized in institutional spaces. This will pave the way for demands for reparations and symbolic recognition of the damage done across generations.

• Rise of technological platforms that recover historical memory

An expansion of digital genealogical tools, colonial databases, and family archives will allow many (marginalized or not) to reconstruct their lineage, identity, and territorial belonging.

• Strengthening environmental defense movements with a cultural focus

Local communities defending sacred territories or ecosystems could become more visible, legitimizing their role as guardians of memories, landscapes, and collective ties to the land.

• Revaluation of minority cultures and languages through state policies

Language protection laws, intercultural education, and funds for the preservation of intangible heritage could be implemented. Local culture will gain strength as a pillar of collective identity.

On a Personal Level:

• Amplification of pending emotions

Unprocessed emotions—especially those linked to primary ties, roots, belonging, or old memories—will emerge with greater force. This will allow us to clearly see where we still seek protection, where exclusion or abandonment still hurts, and what spaces could become true refuges if we dare to open them.

• Revaluation of protective bonds

Relationships that offer support, mutual care, and belonging are likely to take on a new meaning for us. Note that we are not talking here about idealized affections or infantile attachments, but rather about recognizing the importance of building an emotional network that nourishes us and gives us a sense of belonging. We can expect to prioritize family, emotional, or community ties with which we can share a deep sense of home—internal and external.

• Recovery of a lost part of the past

Jupiter in Cancer can coincide with moments in which we recover something essential that had been dissolved in history: a language, a surname, a ritual, a family memory. We take it, redefine it, and expand it.

• Opening to new forms of emotional intimacy

This transit favors an expansion of our emotional world. This may mean allowing ourselves to feel more, sharing more deeply, or revealing ourselves more honestly. In some cases, it may also involve recognizing emotional wounds that prevent us from opening up and beginning a real healing process, without embellishments or cheap self-help formulas.

• Need for a space of your own that nourishes

Many of us will feel a call to redefine what we understand as home. It could be a physical place, an emotional setting, or even a symbolic project that offers us refuge. Jupiter in Cancer intensifies the desire to be in a safe and fertile space, where we don't have to constantly protect ourselves. And if that space doesn't exist, this transit gives us the strength to build it.

• Validation of sensitivity as wisdom

During this period, emotional sensitivity ceases to be seen as an obstacle and begins to be valued as a resource. People who have felt they "feel too much" may discover that this same keen perception is a gift that allows them to guide, protect, lead, and connect. Jupiter in Cancer dignifies emotional intelligence and restores authority to those who embody it.

• Symbolic or literal fertility processes

This transit can accompany fertility processes, whether in the form of creative projects, family changes, pregnancies, adoptions, or decisions related to how and with whom we nurture life. Fertility here is not only biological: it is also the ability to generate fertile environments where other people (or ideas) can thrive.

• Expanded sensitivity to the collective

Many of us will feel that our emotions are increasingly connected to what is happening at a social or historical level. Personal ailments that previously seemed isolated begin to resonate with broader processes—lineage traumas, uprooting, migrations, collective losses. This transition can awaken in us a lucid empathy, which can be transformed into action if we channel it toward collective care or the defense of what deserves protection.

Ariana Opportunities

Although Jupiter is transiting Cancer, its passage will also directly impact Aries, as this sign is located at 90° of Cancer in the zodiac. This angle forms a square: a tense aspect that pushes for change and readjustment. Therefore, although the focus is on Cancer, we can also expect tensions that will trigger opportunities in the areas ruled by Aries:

• Emergence of leaderships with emotional roots

In tension with Aries' impulsiveness, Jupiter in Cancer could stimulate the emergence of leaders who combine initiative and sensitivity. Figures who act with courage, but without disconnecting from the environment that shaped them, will be valued. Action without conscience will be replaced by more embodied forms of authority: leaders who represent their communities not only through power, but also through caring.

• Reconfiguration of the ways of fighting for one's own

Causes demanding self-determination, justice, and visibility (closely associated with Aries) will find expansion when they are anchored in a collective root. Personal or marginal struggles that connect with a larger story—with a community or lineage—could transform into movements with greater institutional strength or historical impact.

• Redirection of combative energies towards the defense of the common good

Social movements marked by confrontation or urgency may undergo a shift. Instead of acting from reaction, they will be required to have substance: clear motivations, ethical foundations, and real connections to the territories and people they claim to defend. This squaring off can purify impulsive political action and transform it into a committed strategy.

• Fertile tension between autonomy and belonging

A space will open up to question how independence is constructed within a collective framework. Can an individual initiative be sustainable if it's not connected to any network? Can a pioneering project survive if it doesn't find a community to sustain it? The tension between Aries and Cancer will force us to reexamine the place of the "self" within historical, social, and familial processes.

• New forms of context-aware entrepreneurship

Individual entrepreneurships, startups, or disruptive projects could face the challenge of incorporating a more empathetic approach, one that focuses more on connections and not just on speed or novelty. This square can foster more sustainable action models that don't sacrifice the environment (neither emotional nor territorial) in the name of individual success.

• Confrontation between speed and sustainability

Collective structures that value speed, competition, or immediate performance could enter into crisis if they don't integrate more nurturing practices and slower processes. This quadrature will reveal the social, physical, and emotional costs of having promoted action without questioning why and for whom.

• Generational and political conflicts over the value of intimacy

In some sectors, active resistance to this cancerous expansion could arise: it will be seen as a step backward and as weakness. But this tension can open up a debate about the need to balance innovation with preservation, and the desire to move forward with the need to repair.

Libra Opportunities

Libra is also in a square to Cancer, and therefore, Jupiter's passage strains and expands collective balances, rules of coexistence, and social ties . Jupiter in Cancer strains Libra emotionally: it demands that agreements cannot be based solely on ideas and formalities.

• Review of social pacts from an ethics of care

The notions of justice, equity, and the social contract could be reformulated based on a more affective sensibility. Legal, educational, and political institutions will be challenged to respond not only to what is rational, but also to what has historically been rendered invisible. Diplomacy is, to a certain extent, being redefined: it is no longer enough to negotiate; understanding and empathy are now required.

• Redefining alliances from an emotional perspective

Collective ties—alliances, treaties, networks—can become more multidimensional. Trust will be central. Alliances that are sustained solely by mutual interest but ignore the emotional history of the peoples or communities involved will become fragile.

• Crisis and transformation of aesthetic or normative structures

Jupiter in Cancer can challenge external forms of harmony when they are devoid of emotional content. This can generate tensions in spaces such as art, design, urban planning, gender policies, or cultural institutions. An opportunity will open up to create new forms that do not shy away from conflict or hide the tensions that sustain society.

• Emergence of restorative justice with a historical perspective

This transition can strengthen justice models that seek to repair, not just punish. Approaches that integrate memory, active listening, and emotional recognition of harm will be valued. Judicial processes, truth commissions, or reparation mechanisms could more deeply incorporate the voices of victims, community narratives, and the emotional scars of injustice.

• Collective debates on beauty, belonging and exclusion

The tension between Cancer and Libra can highlight how certain models of beauty or harmony have served to exclude, silence, or render invisible what is different. There will be room to question who defines what is desirable, what stories fall outside the aesthetic canon, and how to make room for other visual, emotional, and symbolic narratives that represent human nature in a more holistic sense.

• Rethinking the balance between the institutional and the emotional

Many institutions that prioritize form, procedure, or neutrality will be challenged for their inability to embrace humanity. This square opens the possibility of building more sensitive structures, capable of maintaining order without repressing emotional expression.

Capricorn Opportunities

Capricorn is in opposition (180° of arc) with Cancer, so during this transit , Capricorn's structures will be strained in order to expand . It will be necessary to find a balance between both poles to avoid falling into extremes.

• Reconfiguration of institutions through human impact
Social demands could be intensified for governments and corporations to demonstrate how their authority generates concrete well-being. This could translate into metrics for reducing work-related stress or policies that guarantee time for family care, where credibility depends on observable results, not just technical efficiency.

• Employment contracts with binding protection clauses
There could be growing pressure to include in collective bargaining agreements elements such as a ban on forced geographic displacement, verifiable working hours, or bonuses for goals achieved without deteriorating health. Careers could begin to be re-evaluated based on emotional balance, not just promotions.

• Incorporation of trauma expertise into legal systems
We could see progress in the use of allostatic load tests (measurable chronic stress) to quantify damages in labor or immigration lawsuits. That is, companies could face litigation for "community network fractures," accelerating structural reforms.

• Memory audits as a requirement for projects
Construction or investment permits could require certificates of "settled historical debt" in intervened territories. Technologies such as blockchain could be used to record repairs, transforming memory into an operational factor.

• Financing conditioned on results in social cohesion
Public and private initiatives may need to demonstrate improvements in indicators such as reducing workplace-related domestic violence or actively preserving local assets to access resources. Social utility could become a financial metric.

• Repair-oriented leadership
We could begin to see executives in high-impact sectors (healthcare, logistics) hiring organizational trauma specialists. This is based on their skills to heal historical fractures in their industries, always through verifiable actions.

Questions to Reflect on During Jupiter in Cancer:

• Where am I looking for protection and what emotions does that need respond to?

• Am I confusing belonging with confinement?

• What specific opportunity should I say yes to, even if it requires exposing my vulnerability?

• What emotional heritage is worth preserving, and which do I need to redefine in order to grow?

• In what ways do I need to expand my capacity to care—not just for others, but also for myself?

• Can I inhabit my sensitivity without it becoming an excuse for not acting?

• What things move me deeply and I haven't allowed myself to take them as a guide?

• What part of my story am I ready to integrate instead of repeating or rejecting?

• What vision of abundance am I cultivating: one that expands me or one that limits me for fear of losing what I have?

• In what ways could I care without controlling, contain without absorbing, belong without ceasing to be who I am?

Key Dates Within This Transit

Square with Saturn in Aries: June 14, 2025

This square marks a structural conflict between two fundamental forces: Saturn in Aries, which demands building autonomously, taking risks, and breaking away from the old to open new paths, and Jupiter in Cancer, which seeks expansion through caring, belonging, and protecting the familiar. The result: tension between the individualistic impulse and the desire to preserve collective security .

At the collective level, this aspect can translate into conflicts between those who demand institutional renewal or direct action , and those who defend family, cultural, or national structures as spaces that must be protected. There may also be clashes between authorities or leaders who represent collective duty (Saturn) and others who appeal to the well-being, affection, or emotional protection of the people (Jupiter in Cancer).

This transit could manifest itself in friction between generations, between social classes, or between urban and traditional sectors , reflecting a disagreement over what deserves to be preserved and what should be left behind. The square between Jupiter and Saturn often marks moments of crisis of meaning around what we consider correct : should we act from individual responsibility, even if it breaks certain ties? Or should we protect the emotional fabric, even if it hinders the new?

Jupiter Retrograde: November 12, 2025 to March 11, 2026

Jupiter will retrograde from 25° to 15° of Cancer, traditionally considered its degree of exaltation in this sign. During this retrograde, a space will open up for us to review the meaning we are giving to growth, belonging, and protection—both collectively and personally.

This transit will allow us to examine more clearly which expansions are rooted in real needs, and which are based on attachments, nostalgia, or defensive responses. This will be a key moment to detect and limit the excesses of this transit—such as exclusionary nationalism, emotional overprotection, or victimization. At the same time, this review will also allow the opportunities that have arisen since June to mature and stabilize . It is a purification process in which what is truly fertile is separated from what is secondary.

At the end of its retrograde phase, Jupiter will station at 15° of Cancer —its degree of maximum expression. This stationary phase, between March 7 and 14, 2026 , will concentrate enormous potential for expansion and opportunities . Whatever has been cleared, reorganized, or redefined during the previous months may begin to grow with more stable strength. It will be an especially fertile time to consolidate bonds, recover valuable legacies, create safe spaces, or shape projects.

Journey through the Degrees of the Last Mars Retrograde: August 27, 2025 to February 4, 2026 - April 15 to July 27, 2026

During this transit, Jupiter will travel exactly the same degrees that Mars traveled during its retrograde in Cancer between December 6, 2024, and February 24, 2025. This return is a huge opportunity: where Mars forced us to review, step back, or confront unresolved emotional or family conflicts, Jupiter now returns with a different function—expansive, integrative, restorative.

This Jupiter transition brings the possibility of generating opportunities where there was previously friction, blockage, or wear and tear . What was difficult, confusing, or uncertain during Mars' retrograde motion may now find clearer direction, a more mature solution, or even the reward we've been seeking for months.

Although Jupiter will leave Cancer on June 29, 2026, it will continue traveling through Mars' retrograde zone in Leo between July 15 and 27 .

Jupiter Leaves Cancer: June 29, 2026

On June 29, 2026 , Jupiter enters Leo , not to return to Cancer for another 11 years.
