Like a much‑loved aunt from the old country, the ‘Greater Benefic’ returns to Cancer bearing comforting gifts—heirlooms, cultural artefacts, faded photographs, and half‑forgotten rituals—all vivid reminders of who we are, where we belong, and the ancestral clan from which we descend. Jupiter’s soothing, yet engaging presence rekindles an innate yearning for home, strengthening our intrinsic bond with our blood lineage, our dynastic roots, and the familiar idiosyncrasies of our heritage. Awakening within us a profound, undeniable yearning for belonging, we will seek to anchor ourselves deeply and authentically into the nurturing embrace of our most indigenous traditions and the community of our kith and kin.
JUPITER ENTERS CANCER — 9 June 2025
After a prolonged stretch of restless conjecture and fragmented perceptions under Gemini, Jupiter now enters the matriarchal sign of Cancer, the sign of his exaltation. Here, our quest for growth, understanding and integrating wisdom on how life works becomes feminised, moves inward, manifesting instinctively in the gut rather than superficially in the mind.
Truth, during this transit, will not need to be argued for; it becomes something we feel deeply, something undeniably substantial, and therefore impossible to shake loose.

THE GEMINI DEBACLE: SHATTERED SENSE‑MAKING (2024–2025)
Transiting through Gemini—his sign of detriment—Jupiter’s capacity to help us holistically make sense of things was severely compromised, split in two and then two again and so forth until scattered, leaving us with more questions than answers, more surface noise than any true, meaningful insight. Though not nearly as oppressive as Jupiter’s fallen passage through Capricorn in 2020, when truth itself seemed systematically suppressed, harshly scrutinised and denied, or selectively controlled to serve hierarchical narratives, these past four years, alongside some difficult subsidiary transits, have brought the individual’s quest for sense‑making increasingly to this moot point. We’ve found ourselves instinctively stepping away from trusting external authorities, experts, and gatekeepers, setting out instead upon a profound internal journey—one in which our own inner teacher emerges as our most reliable guide.
CARDINAL CROSSROADS: SQUARE TO SATURN–NEPTUNE — 15–19 June 2025
Of course, in a world recently shaken and scattered as ours has become, reconnecting to our deeper roots won’t be straightforward, at least not initially. Immediately upon entering Cancer, Jupiter runs headlong into a challenging square with the Saturn‑Neptune conjunction, now forming at the cardinal ignition point of 1–2° Aries. Having already squared Saturn twice from Pisces in 2024—first in August, and then again most dramatically on Christmas Day—Jupiter has been relentlessly, if unconvincingly, arguing against adhering to outdated structures, demanding release from stifling constraints. Now, positioned powerfully in Cancer, Jupiter makes his final, decisive clash against a fiercely pioneering yet rigidly self‑focused Saturn (exact on 15 June), closely followed by a similarly assertive Neptune (19 June).
Ebertin characterises this tense midpoint combination (♃‑♄/♆) as easily provoking emotional upset, heightened sensitivity, narrow‑mindedness, and egoism, accompanied often by bodily manifestations such as inhibited weight gain or even physical depletion affecting organs like the liver or lungs. Psychologically, and sitting near the World Axis (00° Aries), this translates into a globally palpable frustration as our efforts to return emotionally “home” collide sharply with aggressive external narratives and self‑serving ideological rigidity. Collective energies may swing between exaggerated idealism (Neptune) and the stark realism of our limitations (Saturn), leaving little room for nuance. As a result, initial attempts at reconnecting with ancestral belonging could feel compromised by pressure from abrasive societal narratives, forcing us to navigate carefully between rigid defensiveness and overwhelming sentimentality, until we can integrate these competing demands into a coherent, authentic sense of emotional security.
Then, immediately after Jupiter’s charged encounter with Saturn and Neptune, the atmosphere grows increasingly strained and hyper‑sensitive, culminating dramatically after the Solstice, on 24 June, just one day before the Cancer New Moon. A deeper, more ominous tension emerges, bringing powerful subterranean currents to the surface. Pluto, recently stationed retrograde at 3° Aquarius, occupies the apex of a sharp and uncomfortable Yod formation, channelling immense pressure from Mars in Virgo and the Sun‑Moon‑Jupiter conjunction.
BELONGING OR BELLIGERENCE? THE CANCERIAN DILEMMA
Jupiter’s passage through Cancer deeply stirs the soul, awakening our primal longing to reconnect with our most tribal notions of culture, rekindle indigenous traditions, and reclaim a sense of belonging that runs deeper than mere nationality or modern identity. Yet, this powerful sentimental pull presents a profound dilemma: will our emotional return to the roots promote authentic compassion and heartfelt unity, or will it inflame divisive forms of patriotism—nationalistic fervour, flag‑waving jingoism, and xenophobic attitudes that, when stressed, provoke us to protect boundaries aggressively, exclude outsiders, and sharpen hostilities toward anyone deemed foreign or unlike us?
Pluto’s presence in Aquarius carries profound archetypal significance here, inciting a mass‑psychotic pull towards revolutionary upheaval, radical innovation, ideological disruption, and collective reformation. Its retrograde stance now intensifies the pressure, thrusting unresolved issues around technology, surveillance, social control, and insidiously invasive measures by elite networks into volcanic focus. Here, the shadow side of Aquarius—an entrenched, cabal‑like oligarchy operating through unseen digital webs—faces a mounting, irrepressible force. Mars in meticulous Virgo agitates, exposing the flaws, hypocrisies, and ethical blind spots of the powerful. Meanwhile, Jupiter, amplified by the deeply emotional Cancerian energies of Sun and Moon, injects moral urgency into our need for authentic connection, trust, and communal solidarity.
These volatile alignments, all occurring before the end of this month, signal the climax of growing collective dissatisfaction, as previously hidden manipulations and oppressive power structures become undeniably visible, transparently obvious, risking explosive public reaction. Pluto’s chthonic energies push matters toward a tipping point: tensions previously suppressed, managed, or ignored are now violently precipitated to the surface, forcing confrontation, rupture, and ultimately necessary transformation. Although intensely unsettling, this moment creates an extraordinary opportunity—one that compels us to engage authentically, reclaim collective agency, and dismantle corrupt, coercive networks to forge pathways towards genuine innovation, equitable connection, and meaningful societal reform.
AMERICAN INFLECTION POINT: JUPITER RETURN AND BEYOND
Of course, these powerful alignments resonate intensely with the inception chart of the United States, which now approaches her Jupiter return, simultaneously feeling the heavy weight of the Saturn‑Neptune conjunction pressing firmly upon her IC, or deepest foundational point. This augurs a profound turning point in matters of national identity, home security, borders, and foundational myths. Concurrently, transiting Uranus squares the nation’s Moon at 27° Aquarius from the brink of her Gemini 6th house, indicating unexpected disruptions and radical shifts in public welfare, healthcare systems, labour movements, and the everyday lives of citizens. Meanwhile, Pluto, slowly orbiting the nation’s 2nd‑house South Node, intensifies the existential strain surrounding America’s values, financial stability, resources, and economic structures, compelling a deep, transformative examination of collective priorities and attachments. I’ll have more to discuss on this in our next and future Cosmic Bus instalments.
AUGUST SPARKS: URANUS, THE VIRGO NEW MOON & THE SEMI‑SQUARE
On 24 August, coinciding closely with the Virgo New Moon, Jupiter forms a tense semi‑square to both the lunation and Uranus, freshly ingressed into Gemini. This alignment sparks an edgy, provocative atmosphere, igniting sharp debates, restless minds, and confrontational exchanges. While this quick‑fire energy might fuel tremendous leaps in innovation, lively intellectual exchanges, and a spirited defence of personal beliefs that spill into the political arena, it can also incite unnecessary quarrels and impulsive rhetoric. Collectively, this restless signature suggests a period marked by contentious public discourse, disruptive commentary, and sudden shifts in prevailing narratives and the way these are disseminated. Opportunities for constructive dialogue and intellectual breakthroughs emerge only if we temper our instinctive urge towards verbal combativeness. The Uranian energies are new and raw, so mastering self‑control, especially in communication, should open fresh possibilities for productive insights rather than generating ingrained frictions, suspicions, or divisive misunderstandings. Note the New Moon yod to both Pluto and the Sat/Nep at critical degrees.
FURTHER COLLISION ALONG ANCESTRAL, CLASS AND CULTURAL IDENTITY: CHIRON & ERIS
By October 2025, just following the September eclipses, Jupiter forms another cardinal square to Chiron and Eris in Aries, igniting deep, long‑festering latent anger rooted in historical betrayal, transgenerational cultural exclusion, rifted class divisions, and ancestral disenfranchisement. The collective frustration, already amplified by outspoken fringe figures, outsider podcast heroes, and maverick voices who challenge entrenched narratives, reaches an absolute boiling point. Many perceive “interlocking power factions” as protecting their interests by silencing legitimate dissent, branding it as prejudice or ignorance. Such perceptions will likely escalate from suspicion to massive rallying to action, manifesting as widespread street demonstrations, institutional walk‑outs, and fierce shareholder rebellions wherever official narratives feel increasingly hollow. Individually, deeply buried familial wounds and generational grief resurface with compelling intensity. Ultimately, the profound question emerges clearly: are we going to allow this grievous pain to foster division, or can we transform it into empathy and a renewed, inclusive understanding?
THE RETROGRADE REWIND
From 10 November 2025 through 14 March 2026, Jupiter moves retrograde from 25° back to 15° Cancer, maintaining an extended, challenging square with retrograde Eris throughout all of November, and activating the sensitive Chiron/Eris midpoint yet again in December. Symbolically, this retrograde period acts as a cosmic representation of the disillusionment felt when systems appear to have completely abandoned us. Sentimental narratives of homeland, faith, and familial identity come under intense scrutiny, compelling us to discern clearly who benefits from perpetuating these cherished myths. Just like anytime salt is rubbed into our wounds, any lingering sting becomes visceral and inflamed, and we start to demand healing remedies.
Simultaneously, Jupiter forms the only soft (harmonious) aspect to outers during his passage through Cancer—a supportive trine to stationary Saturn, now back in Pisces—providing practical scaffolding for authentic social reform. Truth‑telling commissions, independent public‑interest journalism, and community‑centred mutual‑aid initiatives flourish, enabling genuine transformation outside compromised institutions. Actively engaging in this process shifts our sense of security from defensive exclusion—“keeping outsiders out”—towards an expansive and genuinely inclusive vision: widening our circles to embrace anyone arriving with sincere intention.
PERSONAL IMPACT
Cancer governs the private and domestic realms, and Jupiter’s journey through this deeply sensitive sign inevitably rewrites the intimate scripts of our lives. Long‑forgotten familial relics and ancestral stories resurface, bringing ghostly reminders of roots and heritage. Estranged relatives suddenly appear, property decisions emerge urgently, and domestic environments seek renewal. If the past several years found you drifting toward “agreeable nihilism”—losing yourself in scrolling, cynicism, and passive detachment—this transit strongly insists you reclaim a more meaningful stake in your own life. It’s a perfect time to reconnect with your local community, engage genuinely with neighbours, join tenants’ associations, or document your elders’ fading memories. Such purposeful acts reflect Jupiter’s highest octave: fostering authentic confidence and well‑being through tangible belonging, rather than shallow self‑branding.
COLLECTIVE STAKES
At a collective level, the sleeping giant is class struggle, not the superficial posturing of identity politics. Jupiter’s expansive influence in Cancer highlights basic survival needs—shelter, food quality, land rights, and water security—forcing leaders who continually evade issues of inequality into obsolescence. Politicians indifferent to grassroots concerns will increasingly find themselves irrelevant, as policies addressing housing affordability, land repatriation, flood protection, and agricultural integrity become electoral essentials. Companies or economies that cynically trade nostalgia while exploiting labour and outsourcing livelihoods will likely face harsh consumer backlash or stringent tariffs. Conversely, enterprises blending profitability with genuine community stewardship—such as worker‑owned farms, regenerative housing cooperatives, and localised supply chains—gain significant, empowering momentum.
THE DIRECT STATION & CONSOLIDATION
Jupiter stations direct on 11 March 2026 at 15° Cancer, crystallising truths uncovered during its retrograde passage and compelling their practical application. Personally, this might translate into finalising citizenship papers, officially forming community‑living arrangements, or initiating media projects prioritising nuance over click‑driven outrage. On a societal scale, reparative legislation may emerge tangibly—caregiver debt relief, indigenous land settlements, and strengthened protections for whistleblowers. Markets increasingly reward businesses investing in local resilience and genuine stability rather than offshore exploitation.
ECHOES OF HISTORY
Historical Jupiter‑in‑Cancer cycles reveal recurring themes. The 1930–31 transit saw nationalist propaganda and protectionist tariffs; 1942–43 cloaked wartime trauma beneath patriotic fervour; 2001–02 unleashed homeland‑security authoritarianism; 2013–14 catalysed both humanitarian crises and marriage‑equality breakthroughs. Each transit presented a profound reckoning around protection, belonging, and security. As Jupiter again journeys through Cancer—now complicated by potent alignments with Saturn‑Neptune and Eris—we stand at a stark crossroads: either we commit to democratise compassion and inclusivity, or we double down, formalising exclusion and entrenched division.
FINAL REFLECTIONS: JUPITER’S DEPARTURE FROM CANCER
By the time Jupiter leaves Cancer, entering Leo on 30 June 2026, the deeply emotional, foundational work done over the preceding year will have reshaped both personal and collective landscapes. We’ll have navigated challenging confrontations around home, belonging, and ancestral identity, clarified our sense of personal roots, and realigned ourselves within authentic communities. Societies, too, will emerge significantly transformed—either more compassionate and inclusively rooted, or severely fractured by tribalism and nationalism. Jupiter’s final months in Cancer, relatively unfettered by major planetary disruptions, offer us a crucial window to consolidate emotional clarity, solidify compassionate reforms, and commit firmly to the values of true security, genuine care, and inclusive belonging—ensuring that the lessons learned become lasting legacies rather than fleeting ideals.
