TRADER TRANSITS
Jupiter in Cancer
As covered in our recent publication, When to Buy and When to Sell: Combining Easy Indicators, Charts, and Financial Astrology (now available on Amazon), Jupiter plays a major role in the financial arena in astrology, symbolizing expansion, abundance, and sometimes outright luck, but also exacerbating the negative on occasion. Please review our Planet Power – Jupiter Effect blog, dated 3-27-25, and Trader Transits – Jupiter Transits blog, dated 8-1-24 for more details.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our universe, changes zodiac signs approximately once every 12-13 months, and takes about 12-14 years to complete one rotation around the sun. This divides to slightly over 1 year, on average, positioned in each zodiac sign. This planet is known as the “Great Benefic,” and tends to represent societal change with each transit into a new sign.
Some of the main traits and energies (including financial) attributed to Jupiter include; expansion, fortune, growth, and even luck.
Jupiter, has been positioned in the sign of Gemini (3rd house of the zodiac, representing communications, transportation, and technology), which is ruled by Mercury – also symbolizing communications, a little over a year. While in this sign, gains in the technology sector continued, reaching all-time highs in early 2025. At the same time, however, the planet Saturn (restriction and challenge) was positioned in the sign of Pisces (mystery, drugs, mental challenges), which ends this week. As this transit ended, the markets suffered a quite significant correction, though short-lived, before the resumption of the uptrend.
Jupiter will end its stay in Gemini on June 9, 2025, and will move into the sign of Cancer (4th house of the zodiac, representing nurture, protection, and the family), which is ruled by the Moon. Sectors to focus on during this period include real estate, cybersecurity, commodities, and cryptocurrencies - with the added transit of Venus into Taurus on June 6 (commonly resulting in large moves in Bitcoin in either direction).
Right off the bat, however, there is a square aspect with Saturn, (the 3rd in a series of 3 over the past 10 months), which has temporarily wreaked havoc in the financial markets. The energies of Jupiter continue the desire to “breakout,” while the energies of Saturn want to “hold back,” creating friction like a tug of war. This creates volatility and indecision in the markets, with consistent swings in price action, so beware this likelihood over the next few weeks. The general belief among financial astrologers is that markets will turn volatile as this square aspect approaches, and will continue for some time after, as they have in the past, including last August and December.
Silver may also be in a favorable position as Cancer is “ruled” by the Moon, which “rules” that metal. Jupiter, as noted, generally expands energies and signifies good fortune. Combined with the Gold to Silver ratio (which we discuss in our weekly Fear & Greed Index update) favoring silver for several weeks, a breakout may be imminent.
These historical events tend to have huge implications regarding the financial markets and the overall financial system. Many of these same themes are repeated and the energies can be felt for some time before the actual date of the event, and for a period after.
