Jupiter in Cancer: The Art of World-Building
As I am writing this, we are a little under a month away from Jupiter moving into Cancer, a long-awaited transit that will last until June 2026. After a tiring, complicated journey through Gemini, his detriment, Jupiter is finally about to reach the sign of his exaltation.
In his exaltation of Cancer, Jupiter brings honour, wisdom, power and riches; his abilities are far-reaching, and he can make our greatest wishes come true. But, why Cancer? Cancer is the domicile of the Moon, the mediatrix, a planet through which all things come to be: the world that surrounds us, our material reality, our fate… The sign of Cancer is also the ascendant of the Thema Mundi, the mythical chart of the creation of the world — suggesting that the origin of all things, their capacity to come to life and thrive are all to be found in this sign. In ancient Egypt, the season where the Sun transited the sign of Cancer corresponded to the flood of the river Nile, a crucial event which would determine whether the fertilised banks of the river would give a bountiful harvest, securing a year of prosperity for the people of Egypt.
In Cancer, Jupiter exalts and magnifies this ability: he nurtures the seeds which will bloom into fruitful abundance, he offers power and sovereign authority to those he deems deserving, and most importantly, he builds entire worlds of their own. In his exaltation, Jupiter is king, and he has supreme authority as to what visions and dreams come to be, versus which ones are relegated to the side. His vision is universal, all-encompassing, but also tyrannical at times.
It is no coincidence that several heads of state have Jupiter in Cancer: the last three French presidents (Emmanuel Macon, François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy) all do, as well as Joe Biden, Nelson Mandela, but also… Benito Mussolini.
Each in their own way, these leaders were tasked with making a seemingly impossible vision come to life. Mandela was charged with turning a country plagued with racial divides and decades of violent apartheid into a united, fraternal “rainbow nation.” After the end of World War II, chief of the resistance Charles de Gaulle forced a coup d’état and imposed a 5th Republic in France, a regime which gave disproportionate powers to the President and which was not destined to last; 60 years later, the Republic is still alive despite enormous paradoxes and appeals to a more democratic regime with less focus on the figure of the president. The fact that the last three heads of state have Jupiter in Cancer resonates with the paradoxical task they have been given: to make an “impossible” regime work.
Jupiter is the planet of dreams, hope and grand visions: when we invoke him in a magickal context, we can usually ask for the “impossible”, for our greatest wishes to come true: buying a dream house, getting our dream job or university, asking for big sums of money, or even a spiritual revelation… As we have seen in our previous examples, in a natal context, this often translates to having a vision, and with the confidence that “everything will work out.” Jupiter in Cancer individuals have the ability to make their unique vision come to life, even if it may seem impossible at first. They have that Jupiter fire that tells them “keep going, and you’ll achieve whatever you put your mind to!”
The last time Jupiter in Cancer was in 2013-2014. Do you remember what you were doing at that time? I have a funny personal anecdote: back then, I was a nerdy teenager who loved to read. One day, I started writing several chapters of a story; as time went on, I became obsessed with becoming the youngest published author in France (lol). I ended up writing a book, and even though it was never published, it became a source of immense personal confidence and gratification: I wrote a book, at just 13 years old! Around that time, Jupiter in Cancer was transiting my 9th house, bringing to the forefront themes of personal empowerment through belief and studies. It made me believe in myself, to say the least!
At its core, Jupiter is about belief: the belief that everything will work out; the belief that anything is possible, and that our dreams can come to life, if we nurture them. Jupiter doesn’t believe in half-assed efforts, or in half truths: he embodies confidence, authority and abundance. When exalted, he is our biggest cheerleader, gifting us with clarity in our purpose and the faith to do anything. Jupiter in Cancer acts as a magnet for opportunities, aligning us right on the path we need to be on for our biggest dreams to come true.
This is why I have decided to create my first-ever Jupiter collection, under the auspices of Jupiter in Cancer on July 18, 2025. This collection promises to be extremely beneficial and auspicious, giving you the opportunity to realise your wildest dreams: bringing luck, happiness and tremendous riches into your life, Jupiter is placed in the first decan of Cancer, a place known for nurturing and growing the greatest hopes and wishes.
