In contrast to Gemini, where Jupiter was in its detriment and had to live by Mercury's rules, Cancer is the sign of its exaltation, where its far-reaching vision, benevolent nature and bigger-than-life personality are welcomed, appreciated, encouraged and nurtured.
Jupiter flourishes under Cancer's cosmic roof, which is why the planet of good fortune feels especially lucky whenever it crosses the Crab's threshold.
And so should we, because while Jupiter in Gemini helped us evolve on an external level through our curiosity, intellect and social connections, this time around we have the opportunity to evolve internally through our emotions, impressions and psyche.
Collectively speaking, during its 13-month immersion in the sign of the Crab we can expect Jupiter's expansive nature to magnify emotions, amplify health matters related to the emotions, breasts, chest, stomach, digestion, and female reproduction and heighten social issues concerning women, housing, real estate, families, child-rearing, food, nourishment, physical safety, agriculture, livestock, patriotism and nationalism.
If we embrace Jupiter in Cancer on an individual level, we can expect it to guide us on an inner journey that will help us develop our intuitive compass, increase our ability for tenderness, nurturing and compassion and introduce us to a new level comfort, self-care, self-understanding and emotional, physical and financial security.

Key Dates for Jupiter in Cancer
Although this cycle holds much promise, it gets off to a rocky start as both Saturn and Neptune get in its way.
June 15 • Jupiter in Cancer square Saturn in Aries
Although Jupiter and Saturn have already clashed twice before when they were in Gemini and Pisces, their final tussle takes place Cancer and Aries. With new signs come new personalities, and given their new cardinal modality (proactive, ambitious, competitive, bossy) their final encounter could turn into quite a brawl.
If so, what does that mean for you?
The most likely expression of this conflict would be some type of delay or setback by someone (or something) that has more authority over you or the circumstances. For example, your hopes could be dashed by a superior who lacks faith in your abilities or a government agency denies your permit application.
June 18 • Jupiter in Cancer square Neptune in Aries
Big dreams, big lies and big disappointments are possible under this influence, which is why it's important not to fall prey to blind optimism or blind faith. You will do well to avoid forming decisions, making commitments or sharing secrets, because there is a very good chance that your emotions, desires and intuition will lead you astray.
On another note, this influence can heighten suspicions to the point of paranoia, and if you have an addictive or overindulgent personality, it's best to keep your distance from temptation.
