  • Jupiter retro in CancerJUPITER IN CANCER STATIONS RETROGRADE

    Jupiter entered Cancer on 9 June this year and will now station retrograde at 25°09’ (antiscion 04°51’ Gemini) on11 November, stationing direct on 10-11 March 2026 at 15°05’ Cancer.

    I mentioned in a previous post that Jupiter would remain exclusively in the sign of Cancer during its entire transit ad that is because a continuous stay in a sign however is not a given for any planet. Nonetheless, as in all things astrological there is a pattern to these continuous stays in the sign transited and each planet has its own particular pattern.

    Jupiter in fact has a pattern of continuous stays and then cycles when the planet enters the adjacent signs to then re-enter the transited sign and these patterns are different for each planet. The patterns change according to whether the sign transited is long ascension (Cancer to Sagittarius) or short ascension (Capricorn to Gemini), with the exception of the sign of Leo which is long ascension but acts like the short ascension signs– he is the King after all so I suppose he can do as he pleases! Since the sign of Cancer is a long ascension sign the pattern for Jupiter is 2 cycles going in and out between signs followed by 5 continuous stays in the sign transited.

    The total average stay of Jupiter in a sign (when continuous) is approximately 375 days.

    Planets take on the nature of the sign transited and thus I believe that when a planet remains continuously in one sign for the whole length of its transit then it really gets to wallow in the qualities of that sign without having its energy fragmented by moving in and out of the adjacent signs. When a planet first enters a sign, we note the difference and often feel a surprise as the energy changes and then emerges. During the middle degrees of the transit, we learn how to cope with this now, no longer, new energy and in the late degrees the energy peaks and pulls out its final traits.

    Jupiter finds it exaltation in the sign of Cancer and is therefore considered like a special guest in that sign.

    Being principally associated with optimism and abundance Jupiter in family-oriented Cancer suggests someone who protects his family. The sign of Cancer and Jupiter can work together, sharing as they do the moistness in their respective characteristics (Jupiter being a hot, moist planet and Cancer being a cold, moist sign). The Cancerian need to keep matters close to one’s chest can keep Jupiter’s natural expansiveness under control forcing depth onto Jupiter. On the other hand, Jupiter tends to dissipate Cancer’s natural vulnerability, either in a positive way by adding optimism and self-confidence or negatively by inducing indulgence in comfort food.

    Of course, Jupiter is not only “good news” it can bring strife and exaggerated violence when it contacts more volatile planets like Mars or Uranus (Jupiter was after all a spoilt brat). It all depends on our own particular natal chart how we react to Jupiter transits.

    Over the next four months we will have an opportunity to get back in touch with our inner self as a cautious optimism about future events gradually invades us, more at an interior level rather than an exterior one since on the outside we may have seemed to lost our usual joviality and might appear subdued. The house where retrograde Jupiter will be transiting can suggest where we may find your inner sense of contentment support even though outside events may not support this entirely.

    At the moment of the station Jupiter will be in a partile trine aspect to Saturn R with both planets in the Water signs, this could put a brake on excessive emotional outbursts despite Saturn being conjunct Neptune R and sextile Uranus R or the whole illusoriness of present times could just blow up in our faces.

    The Sabian symbol for 26° Cancer: “Guests are reading in the library of a luxurious home:” Indicating the transference of social privilege to the level of intellectual enjoyment.

    For the antiscion point at 05° Gemini: “A revolutionary magazine asking for action.” Indicating the explosive tendency of repressed feelings and root emotions.

    “A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.” Herm Albright
