In 2025, Jupiter embarks on a rare and potent journey. From October 18 to early December, Jupiter graces its exalted sign, Cancer, delivering expansive blessings in emotional, familial, and spiritual fields. However, Jupiter then turns retrograde, briefly returns to Gemini, and spends its retrograde phase there until March 11, 2026. This dual-phase transit activates significant karmic themes for each ascendant.
Jupiter Exalted in Cancer (Oct 18 – Dec 4, 2025)
Jupiter in Cancer shines with its fullest power—offering deep wisdom, spiritual nurturing, and emotional harmony. The energy nurtures home life, family, and emotional security. This phase promotes inner growth, emotional intelligence, ancestral blessings, and harmonious relationships. Jupiter’s benevolence inspires selfless compassion and spiritual upliftment.
Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini (Dec 5, 2025 – Mar 11, 2026)
In retrograde Gemini, Jupiter focuses inward, initiating reassessment of communications, learning, finances, and relationships. This phase calls for reflection, unfinished business closure, and realignment with intellectual and practical goals. It’s a time to refine strategies and prepare for forward growth with a balanced mind.
Jupiter’s exalted transit in Cancer gifts you with nurturing wisdom and supportive growth, while the Gemini retrograde phase demands thoughtful review and recalibration in your mental and social spheres.
