On June 30th, 2026, Jupiter completed its year-long transit through Cancer (begun June 9-10th, 2025) and moved into Leo. Has something shifted energywise in your life? Jupiter is not simply about the opportunities we give or receive; it is about our participation in the continuation of life’s meaning. Meaning, or enthusiasm, can manifest across the whole spectrum, from its healthiest to its most excessive forms. As Jupiter now travels through Leo, themes of identity, children, creations and creativity, risk, speculation and investments come into the light, as well as everything that sustains and vitalises life. Jupiter in the homes of the Luminaries is ephasisng what is vital and life giving in our lives, associates with peak experiences, and this time around, is even more potent to examine it, as it is a crucial activator and contributor of larger planetary cycles aligning, with the second part of July being the month that this shift is more evident.

The year of Cancer was the Moon’s lesson, a year of peak experiences on the level of feeling and our habitual zones and patterns: intense inner states that felt deeply personal, an inward, absorbing process that enriched our memories and affected our lives closing big chapters and opening new ones. With its focus on protection, on roots and origin, on caring for ourselves and others, on protecting and being protected, Jupiter was a guest in a house where the host changes mood, aim, and intentions every 2.5 days, and it learned, along with us, the flexibility of the ‘good guest’. It was a year that drew us gently (or abruptly) out of our safe places and comfort zones: it tested our faith, acquainted us with the relationship between promise and realism, tolerance and boundaries, and perhaps taught us how resonating our faith and vision with the mood of the day or atmosphere around us, can have its ups and downs, high drama and intense sharing. It may have felt like we lived many lives, and experienced a broad range of dimension of responses, in the course of one year. It may be worth asking ourselves: what nourished and supported us this year? What did we absorb, and enriched us inwardly? Where did our intuition and emotional intelligence guide us well and creatively, and where did it catch us unprepared? Which memories do we keep and cherish? What did we realise we no longer need, or isn’t healthy? Where did we move, literally, emotionally, or psychologically? Which habits changed? Where did we find solace?
